Much of world is seemingly becoming very much linked, the rapid development of the technology that adds some incremental improvement in the broader financial industry otherwise known as fintech is gradually to shifting the ground in that latter with unprecedented outcomes. The ability to analyse the actions of consumers and much more as well as the inclination and embrace of computing and related technology has ensured that there is a fertile ground for such ground breaking transformations to occur. Today financial institutions as a whole can now offer their remote services will minimal constraints that device size, time and location may impose. Given this ease of service delivery one can argue that some revolution has occurred and still improving.[1]

System Fractional Reserve Banking

Maturity Mismatch in Commercial Banking
Occurs when banks mismatch their balance sheets by having more short term liabilities than short term assets, as well as possessing more assets than liabilities for medium and long term obligations.
Loan-able Funds Financial Intermediaries
In the loanable funds model, banks are modelled as financial intermediaries that receive deposits of tangible money from savers then lending them to borrowers.
Narrow Banking
It is the idea that we could create banks that take a "narrow" type of risk by investing only in very high-quality assets like central bank reserves or government bonds.
Creation of Money
The money spends electronically or digitally is not cash though it balance may be affected by cash deposits. In a case ones bank credits ones bank account with a loan that value or figure is also not cash it did not exist prior to that credit. So essentially, banks create money, not wealth. Banks create around 80% of money in the economy as electronic deposits in this way. In comparison, banknotes and coins only make up three percent. ... This is called electronic central bank money, or reserves.[3]
Equity4keeps Opinion Snapshots
IntercontinentalExchange (ICE).
Analysts
say that this Exchange is currently seeing a combination of good and not so good
outcomes meaning that some parts of the Exchange are looking up and some are not
really doing so. ICE runs the leading market place for electronically traded
global futures and commodity contracts of any kind, if you have traded option
contracts your order may have been place through it. They reiterated their
previous rating and raise their estimates, nineteen analysts follow ICE and
their average recommendation is Moderate Buy and out of that eleven hold Strong
Buy recommendations. Investors are not betting against this company as they hold
just 1.58% of it's outstanding stocks in margins. ICE's Put-Call ratio stands at
0.52 implying greater preference for Calls and also indicating optimism towards
the equity. We would love to see more scepticism toward ICE in the from Short
ratios and Put-Call ratios before we put our money on this equity, this is where
we stand at this time.
SAIC (SAI).
This company is a science and engineering company that
provides solutions in health, critical infrastructure, denfense and national
security in the U.S and the world as well. According to analysts revenue grew by
7% for the last quarter compared to what it was last year and also quoted that
the company is not expecting a flurry of contracts from the U.S government in
the near term. As such the analysts lowered their earnings estimates forecast
for SAI and downgraded it shares, but even at that the average recommendation
from all the fifteen analysts following it is still a Moderate Buy. Investors
hold 4.59 of the company's shares in a short position; though some scepticism
but not enough for us here at Xgains4keeps Inc, at the same time we can also a
Put-Call ratio of 1.95 which is a hefty scepticism from investors. So for us we
think that with time the short ratio will grow up to five to seven percent or
even more going by the Put-Call ratio. We will keep our watch on SAI and see how
it will ride out.
Unilever (UN).
UN is a very large consumer products company and also one of the largest in the world, their brands and products are hugely popular around the world, they are also the largest seller of packet tea in the world. Analysts pointed out sometime in the past that they believe UN's shares will benefit from the current inclination of investors towards companies that are doing business in emerging markets and UN happens to be a major player. They predict that sales this quarter will be up by 4.3% and raised it rating to a Buy from Neutral in the light of all that has been noted and possibly more. It's short ratio is 1.13 and the Short Interest is 0.1% as at November 15th 2018 all these do not
support what the analysts pointed out about investors above, this of course does
not mean that what they noted will not happen. Its just that if UN had a
substantial short ratio coupled with the preference for Call options then we can
say that there is alot of more money in the stock and that will be in line with
their assertion. Indeed UN may see a boost from investors based on the reason
noted above, but it is not an interest play for us, we want to see more
scepticism towards it.
