how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the telegram id of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.
US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

pepsi bottling Q108_NonGAAPReconciliation
1. THE PEPSI BOTTLING GROUP, INC.
FIRST QUARTER 2008 EARNINGS CONFERENCE CALL
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
April 23, 2008
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). In an effort to provide
investors with additional information regarding the Company’s results and to provide a meaningful
year-over-year comparison of the Company’s financial performance, the Company sometimes uses
non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
differences between the U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled in this
attachment. In presenting comparable results, the Company discloses non-GAAP financial measures
when it believes such measures will be useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s underlying
business performance. Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the
Company’s financial performance against internal budgets and targets (including under the
Company’s incentive compensation plans). In addition, management internally reviews the results
of the Company excluding the impact of certain items as it believes that these non-GAAP financial
measures are useful for evaluating the Company’s core operating results and facilitating comparison
across reporting periods. Importantly, the Company believes non-GAAP financial measures should
be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, U.S. GAAP financial measures. The Company’s
non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other
companies.
Items Affecting Comparability in 2008 Results
Restructuring Charges
In the third and fourth quarters of 2007, PBG announced realignments in the Company’s

pre-tax charge of approximately $32 million, with a pre-tax cash charge of approximately $2 million
being recorded in the first quarter of 2008.
Asset Disposal Charge
During the fourth quarter of 2007, PBG adopted a Full Service Vending Rationalization plan to
dispose of older underperforming assets and redeploying assets to higher return accounts. The total
pre-tax charge for this plan is expected to be about $30 to $35 million and will be completed by the
end of the second quarter. Since the inception of the program and through March 22, 2008, the
Company incurred a pre-tax charge of approximately $24 million with a pre-tax cash charge of $1
million being recorded in the first quarter of 2008.

Operating Free Cash Flow
The Company defines Operating Free Cash Flow (OFCF) as Cash Provided by Operations, less
capital expenditures, plus excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options.
The Company uses OFCF to evaluate the performance of its business and management considers
OFCF an important indicator of the Company’s liquidity, including its ability to satisfy debt
obligations, fund future acquisitions, pay dividends to common shareholders and repurchase
Company stock.
OFCF is a non-GAAP financial measure and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute
for Cash Provided by Operations as well as other measures of financial performance and liquidity
reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company’s OFCF may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
2008 Full Year OFCF Guidance
PBG expects its full-year 2008 OFCF to be at least $620 million. The Company anticipates capital
expenditures to exceed $800 million and Cash Provided by Operations plus the excess tax benefits
from the exercise of stock options to be over $1.4 billion.
