Who better a person to start this evening with than other than Puneet Goyal, who is the founder of Blue Smart. As I was telling you that Ida was really at about big tech and startup tech and how they are sort of bringing the new tech together. So here we have a young founder who is actually doing that and more at Blue Smart. So you know the way they are building the right hailing business and the charging infrastructure in this country and doing pretty much the full stack of mobility in this country is really amazing. So first of all a huge round of applause we travel in his caps and we always admire how we sort of gone all the way and enjoyed that right. So thank you for joining us today evening Puneet. You know given the fact that you've been a late entrant in this space. You know we had Ola which is homegrown and then Uber which is a global company. So what was the opportunity that you saw that gave you the right kind of vision to say that you know there is a gap in the market and that is the gap we are going to cover and you know and Blue Smart was built. Yeah so I think the market opportunity we saw was massive. I mean we are building an energy infrastructure and mobility company in alphabetical order. So everybody I don't know how many of you have used Blue Smart here in Bangalore and how many of you must have used Blue Smart in Delhi and we look like a consumer centric ride hailing service but besides that we are also building large scale EV charging infrastructure and the idea was very simple. We figured out that companies like Uber will not be able to really build out charging infrastructure. They are largely purely ride hailing companies. It will be very difficult for Uber to really transition to becoming an energy and infrastructure company. They have never done that in the past and we thought it would be great to partner with a company like Uber so when we got this idea back in 2019 we started off by partnering with Uber. We deployed the cars on the Uber platform. We started off with deploying about 10, 20, 30, 40, 70 cars on the Uber platform finally scaled our partnership to about nearly 300 cars and we figured out that Uber will need EVs and they don't know how to build charging infrastructure. So when I teamed up with my co-founder Anmol who is an energy veteran in the renewable energy space he runs the company called Gensal and I pitched my idea to Anmol and I said that look, I had this thesis or thought process that the EV transition is going to happen in the US and also in India and it's imminent that all cars will become eventually electric but platforms like Uber which don't own the cars, don't own the charging infrastructure and completely dependent on an outsourced model where third party drivers are bringing cars on the platform companies like them will never be able to go fully electric because they will depend on third party drivers ability to bring cars, bracket electric cars and also figure out where the charging infrastructure is. So it will be a very long drawn process for companies like Uber let's become an enabler for Uber to go fully electric. How can we do that by building out the charging infrastructure by bringing electric cars and partnering with Uber BluSmart 1.0 was there we deployed the BluSmart cars on the Uber platform and for one year everybody was saying here la la Uber chahiye because if you would summon an Uber car a BluSmart car would arrive and pick you up it's like booking a Malaysian Airlines ticket in Singapore Airlines coming and picking you up so people were pleasantly surprised with the high quality experience they were experiencing on the Uber platform that was a journey 1.0 and on 5th December 2019 after having spent a year with Uber we graduated from the class of Uber 2019 so we are Uber class of 19 actually having worked with Uber for a year and then we migrated to our own platform which was BluSmart we haven't looked back since and we started scaling because we understood that the missing point was the fact that in the EV world you need more than electric cars and you need charging infrastructure so how are we looking at this business is a business where we are building a vertically integrated born electric, e-mobility ride-hailing service and EV charging network where we build out EV charging superhugs which becomes the founding tenet or the founding or the bedrock on which the ride-hailing business is scaling and the ride-hailing business of BluSmart becomes the anchor tenant to the charging infrastructure business and that really allowed us to scale another point we saw this is all on the supply side innovation and we are bringing EVs on the platform the bigger opportunity we saw on the consumer side when we were using Uber in India or Ola in India in back in 2018 was the fact that the consumers were unhappy there were a lot of ride denials happening, some surge pricing issues people were paying exponentially for mobility and we thought we could probably create a differentiated experience a slightly elevated one for the consumers and start providing a much better service than what they were getting we also understood that India of 2018-19 was a tad different from the India of 2008 and 2009 people are now more well-traveled, globetrotters they go overseas, they experience much better forms of mobility these are Indians who go overseas a lot so we saw that Uber in the US was able to offer great service and we understood the underlying challenge was supply side drivers in India have to buy cars and these are really poor people, they did not go to IIT Roorkees or IIM Ahmedabad or IIM Calcutta these are very poor people who have this trouble of buying a car and they deploy the car on the Uber platform to earn from it the Uber global model is the Airbnb of mobility model where the cars are already there in the US largely US is a $2 trillion automobile market India's GDP is $4 trillion so in layman language the automobile market in the US is half of India's GDP and that is where cars are already available and cars can be on the platform of Uber or Lyft in India with the asset ownership is really low it's 40 cars per thousand people in China our neighbour is about 275 cars per thousand people US is about 700 cars per thousand people it's slightly easier for models like Uber to really scale and bring assets but in India the biggest code strength of Uber in the US is the biggest weakness in India bringing assets is a challenge and because the drivers are so disgruntled and unhappy all that is passed through the customer experience and customer is the one who ultimately receives all the unhappiness of the driver and the customers are unhappy so we thought we will launch two industry first features the first one being zero ride denials so we started with the concept of offering a car to the customer without any cancellation from our side zero cancellation from our side second one we thought that we will not do any surge pricing we will keep the experience consistent fixed pricing like platforms like the BST Bus or Bombay or the Delhi Metro or Tube of London or Subway of New York these are transportation platforms and pretty reliable ones but all of them are fixed pricing structure you already know what you are going to pay for so we thought this will be two good product features that the consumers may like may not like God knows but let's probably roll them out and let's see the feedback I mean the feedback was amazing people in mega cities of India want reliable mobility everybody wants to go to school on time you want to go to write your SAT exam on time GMAT exam on time you want to make it to the entrepreneur show on time you want to go to the airport on time you want to go to the railway station on time you want to attend a marriage on time you want to go and see the movie on time you want to go and attend your child's convocation ceremony on time so time with the capital T is finite for me for a more juggie for bill gates for all these entrepreneurs here time is equal for everybody everybody has 24 hours in a day nobody gets just because you are a rich person you don't get extra time and people were not able to reach their destination on time so we said okay let's sell time, let's sell reliability let's be that mobility player which probably addresses that big challenge around ride dinas that I think was the success for us and consumer love came in we provided that consumer experience and we created that differentiator experience for the consumer they had a reliable ride hailing service regardless of the season COVID, not COVID or whatever season and that's what consumer really loved that's on the consumer experience side but you know you also interestingly built a model of EV leasing now you know it's a very inclusive model where you sort of want to bring a lot of entrepreneurs and a lot of people into your ecosystem so what was the idea behind it what was it that you know what was your purpose of building a model like that so leasing of assets was the only way for us to scale we figured out that the drivers are the weakest point of the ecosystem a driver is not a McQuarrie, a driver is not a GP Morgan a driver is not a Crestaway, a driver is not a BlackRock a driver is not a Tamasek it's not a driver's core ability to bring car on the table a driver is the poor person who is just trying to fend for herself or himself a driver's job it will drive and fundamentally we figured out that a driver's core skill set is to drive a driver is not a financing institution a driver is not Bandhan, a driver is not ICICI so why to burden the driver with bringing a car on the table given that India is a poor market it's a two wheeler and three wheeler market 78% of India travels on two wheelers and three wheelers if I add bicycles and tricycles then 88% of India travels on two and three wheelers across everywhere India is not a four wheeler market it's only 40 cars per thousand people and we didn't want to burden poor people owning cars and that gives them stress when you eliminate stress from somebody's body the efficiency of the person goes up and when the person is stressed all the time of fuel cost or car cost how to pay for EMI then the experience of the person or the overall service quality will go down so we said okay, now if the drivers can't bring cars let's decouple drivers from asset ownership let's institutionalize the entire supply side and both my co-founder and mole and I we spent some time in the renewable energy space where we worked with large DFIs who funded our solar projects so we went to the same institutions and we said okay, look we are going to build this right-hailing service and charging network will you fund cars, will you finance us for cars and we want to lease the car so very similar to the way Indigo Airlines works or Lufthansa works or British Airways works they lease planes so we took the analogy from the aviation sector we say we lease our aircrafts or lease our electric cars and we are looking at cars like aeroplanes so we will go to DFIs and applying Pareto's principal and economic student so I thought we should go to institutions who have the ability, capability to finance thousands of cars one driver can bring one car on table one DFI can bring 5000 cars on the table so if and you know everybody has 10 fingers in their hands if you go to 10 institutions they all can fund 100,000 cars we don't need to go to the 11th institution only for getting cars so that's what we set out to do we started leasing cars we created a leasing platform that leasing standalone SPV then gets the loan from DFI Sanction today we have money in the bank for 20,000 cars on the road we have only 6,000 cars so a lot of money sitting in the bank to deploy the biggest road block for blue smart is charging infrastructure and we understood that if this is the biggest road block for us must be for others also the biggest opportunity and the biggest road block is charging infrastructure the more charging infrastructure blue smart or companies like blue smart can build the more EVs we can bring on the table so again it goes back to my earlier thesis that we are an energy infrastructure mobility bracket ride hailing company in alphabetical order my mentor who helped me build this business is friend Calinicus he is a guy who raised 5 billion dollars for Uber in 13, 14, 15 he was CF of Uber I had a chance meeting with him in Nevada in 2017 I had gone to see this company called Hyperloop One and I had gone to meet him for that and we were sitting and talking in Malibu beach in Los Angeles and Brent showed me a charging station of charge point which was charging a BMW i8 car it was the first time I saw a charging station charging an EV at the Malibu club in Los Angeles and Brent said something very interesting which became the founding tenant of blue smart he said that companies like Uber are air BNBs of mobility in layman language asset is there you can monetize it it will be very difficult to create air BNB of electric mobility in layman language there are not many assets on the road what will you monetize that doesn't exist and I started thinking that that's a great that's true we have to first create assets then monetize them so we can't create a monetization model before assets only don't exist so we had to re-engineer our supply side in order to give a differentiated customer experience and that differentiation of the supply side innovation had to be done otherwise if we would be at the back-end call of a poor driver buying a car then we'll have to be 20 years for EVs to come on the road and hence we had to build out this entire differentiated supply stack how does solar fit into the puzzle given the fact that there is so much riding in India on solar energy and the government sort of pushing solar out there so where does it fit again was always our call we are from the renewable space we believe that solar is the cheapest form of electron the best way to produce energy when I in fact met Amitabh Khan back in 2018 and with this idea of blue smart as trying to convince him sir this should be done, India should do EV at that time CNG was 46 rupees a kg and I remember this cost of CNG went to 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 it reached 93 rupees a kg nobody knew that the cost of CNG was a darling fuel in India all ride hailing platforms in India used CNG as their main fuel and with that cost of CNG went up 2.46 times in just a matter of 4 years including the pandemic period when we had this idea petrol and diesel in India was 65 rupees a litre in 2018 the cost of petrol went above 100 rupees a litre so we understood that if we will be at the beck and call of crude or fuels like petrol, diesel and CNG you can never make money because the cost of fuel will always go up, India's import bill was 60 billion dollars when the finance minister at the budget in 2018, India's import bill is now above 120 billion dollars, maybe will be 200 billion dollars, you try to do something in methanol, ethanol and all that but still the cost will keep going up because India has a fast doing economy, 8% GTP growth more people are now having disposable income, lot of discretionary spending more people are buying cars right now more people will need oil and China in USA so we thought okay now we will have to shift to using EVs as the first base but eventually to further lower our cost and to become profitable at scale, we will use renewable energy but that should happen at scale so now blue smart has about 6000 cars we have covered about 0.4 billion kilometers on the roads, 400 million kilometers, we have completed 12.5 million trips, we are doing about 60-65 million dollars of annual revenue, now is the right time to shift to renewable energy and so we partnered with Tata Power as the first project where from their 200 megawatt solar power plant in Bahrami, Rajasthan we have contracted a 30 megawatt solar capacity, so Tata Power is supplying us 30 megawatt solar energy from their 200 megawatt solar power plant in Rajasthan India has one grid one nation policy so we get the energy which is powering our 42 megawatt power load of all our charging hubs in turn powering 160 megawatt trees across 6000 cars in Delhi in CR and Bangalore, so this is the first of its kind where blue smart becomes the world's first EV ride-hailing service and charging network to be 100% powered by renewable energy so we now are decarbonizing mobility at scale and that was a mission statement from Devan, it's just that we are executing it now that's great and I mean you know at what scale you are doing it, it's so nice to hear it and you know it's amazing to see and now they have also stepped differently out of India as well so I think you are going to be soon, you will find blue smart cars in UAE as well if I am allowed to make this statement now or my co-founder will kill me but yeah maybe sometime this year I will probably be diplomatic here sometime this year in some coming months we will be in an overseas market and we will obviously share it with the media and also with our friends right now we are focusing on the core fees of Delhi and Sia and Bangalore but yeah with ambitions for obviously looking out so you are also incidentally the chief of fund raising for blue smart so you know and they say that your investor goes with you a long way so it's a good marriage that sort of goes for many years so how do you sort of select your right investor and how does the investor select you and where do these minds meet yeah in terms of the the tag I mean I had to become chief of something so I didn't know what to do in the company besides just making the logo of blue smart but I see one of the investors in the jury, Sandeep Bhamar he is an investor in blue smart green frinter capital we went on one of these platforms in 2018 and Molan and I were presenting blue smart I think everybody was laughing at us saying that what are these two people doing I mean we were laughing stock at that time I think there were more than 200 people who were telling us don't waste your time you guys are renewable energy entrepreneurs focus on building solar projects this is not your cup of tea in the Ola nobody can make a dent nobody will be able to do some naysayers today along the fundraising we have found probably the same we still get the same reception but there are some people who believed in us and like minded people who believed in the long term vision of the company and now with the EV adoption actually picking up there's a lot of knowledge also a lot of people now today I know a lot of people have now become PhDs electric mobility I know I meet a lot of people who are now have the domain knowledge also so it's slightly easier to now share our story with investors also we are not targeting every kind of investors so now we understand that since we are a very different kind of company we are targeting energy transition funds we are targeting climate impact funds infrastructure funds largely we are looking at ourselves as an infrastructure and so we are only targeting infra investors not VCs infrastructure capital investors growth debt and growth capital investors who are investing in the clean energy space or the infrastructure space and they believe that this is a good story in the making infrastructure is needed for India's growth if India were to scale from a 4 trillion dollar economy to a 12 trillion dollar economy that will happen on the back of 5 trillion dollars in infrastructure investment as for McKinsey, Bain, BCG they all are saying that India will need new investments of about 5 trillion dollars and we are playing a very small part there in infrastructure for tomorrow and EVs are batteries moving batteries and charging infrastructure is also critical for India's growth so largely cheating the infra kind of investors infrastructure investors we will also like to explore your entrepreneurial side so you were right from your days at Harvard I believe were you sure that entrepreneurship is your journey to go forward or did you sort of wanted to be working for a while before you sort of jumped the bandwagon of entrepreneurship so I think I was in London then I was studying at London School of Economics and I started at that time thinking that I should do something in the clean energy space I had met a consultant in India when I had come down and he at that time was telling me that solar could be the next big thing and after finishing my graduation I went to another college called Aston Business School in Birmingham where I did my dissertation on something I had to do I chose clean energy as my dissertation topic and those few months I wrote a paper on renewable energy and that got me excited to venture into my first venture of solar panel manufacturing when I came back to India in 2008 and got into the renewable energy space by manufacturing solar panel the first four years were great we achieved revenues of close to 100 million euros we were manufacturing solar panels in India exporting to Europe 8, 9, 10, 11 was great but the market crashed plummeted I went to bankruptcy and I had to shut down my first venture after having achieved sales of about 100 million dollars it was a very bad time for me in 2012 I almost was completely wiped out on the road and I thought probably this is my end of entrepreneurship should I never want to be an entrepreneur again let us go work for a company and much easier but then again I said maybe not I should try again so I did my second venture which was a solar power plant we built out in Gujarat that's my co-founder and he built it out for us and that's how we met and it was a good success we got pretty good money for selling it and the third venture again and then obviously when I exited all my solar ventures and I had a chance meeting in the US with Brent with this idea came up and I think everything just led to another I had no idea that I would probably be here when I am today it's a journey that we you know have traversed over time and probably learned with failures I think each failure teaches you something new and probably opens more doors till you don't fail you don't learn if you want to be in your comfort zone then probably you will never learn anything so it's good to fail, good to learn from people and then yeah either you can learn from your own failures or somebody else's failure but regardless you have to learn from somebody's failure yourself or somebody else's and now that you are embarking on an international journey how how sort of differently are you going to approach building a business outside India versus building it in India yeah so in India as our geography market very well and it's our pack office here so we know what the market is I think what we have delivered here is a great consumer experience so I think in consumers really happy we have become a brand now there's a lot of Indian diaspora that travels overseas and they want that brand also there the market that we are trying to open to is also where a lot of Indians are or go there and we believe that there should be some need for us there okay so what is the need is ride healing a challenge there deviate option being promoted by the government is there a need for blue smart there identifying that market doing the research on it you know a lot of conviction should we launch not launch should we stay back in Indian market continue build here which is a great strategy and we will do that but also keeping our eyes and ears open on opportunities overseas so we are still in that phase right now and like I said we are trying to build it we've got the permits approvals licenses to operate in the market very financially financially very with all our money to operate there is that we need to take that big bold step to actually launch there but otherwise the foundation platform is ready and you know so we have in this room some big tech shots and we also have very young startup founders so any sort of message you have for the young startup founders given your own journey as a founder you know as to how they should build the enterprise I think I always believed at least with the blue smart journey that you have to believe in yourself and people will laugh at you or not believe it if you only don't believe in yourself nobody will believe in you so the first person to believe in yourself is yourselves you have to believe in your own self you don't need third party validation or somebody smile or clap or happen you have to believe in yourself if you believe in yourself you can do anything you want and don't do things for third party validation do it for your own validation if you're happy don't do it if you're happy do it and I mean that's the way I've always seen in life I don't care about what people think I care about what I think and yeah that's what I probably can share with you so believe in yourself ladies and gentlemen a huge round of applause for Puneet probably got you know a unicorn and a global entrepreneur being born very soon out of India and blue smart is probably ready to go big guns and many sort of congratulations to you for building blue smart and all the very best in your journey as you sort of embark to a more bigger market and the world not just India but the world so thank you very much for talking to us

It is hard to imagine that any other city could rival the overall depth of history and beauty that can be found here with wonderful architectural structures such as the Colosseum, Treaty Fountain, Spanish Steps, the remains of the Roman Forum the imposing presence of the Vatican and the masterpiece that is Sistine Chapel and that's just beginning. However, Rome isn't only a place to experience the past. There is also a modern lively feeling to the city and it is a wonderful location in which to witness modern daily life and see how it fits in comfortably against the backdrop of ancient culture and history. The many delightful old squares with their old fashioned cobblestone streets and courtyards are favored meeting places for both locals and tourists and are fantastic places for sitting under the warm Italian skies and people watching. Rome has a great many restaurant terraces offering authentic and sensational Italian cuisine yet at quite reasonable prices. Rome is situated along the Italian west coast and while the city is very large and spread out over an extensive area running down to the coast, the famous historical center is quite small and localized and it is certainly easy enough to visit most of the better known attractions on foot. The city, however, also has an extensive, efficient and modern public transport system for visiting further afield. Due to its close proximity to the beach, the city of Rome is ideally located for people wishing to experience a major historical city and yet at the same time have easy access to the lovely beaches of the Mediterranean. As there is a wide range of opportunities for teaching English in Italy, it is the perfect choice of location for your TESOL course.

The Circus Topic Most teams begin as a group of talented yet unfocused individuals. Just think of any of the famous teams you've seen on film or TV. They always seem to go through a process of working out how best to utilize each other's skills for the overall benefit of the team. The topic of this retrospective is to help a team to analyze skills and strengths in order to develop their capabilities and virtues, and ultimately boost performance. You'll need the following resources, several pieces of paper or a flip chart pad, some sticky notes and some marker pens, three juggling balls, some coloring pens, some photos of the faces of the team members, and a couple of decks of playing cards. Here's the hook. Roll up, roll up for the greatest retrospective on earth. Come and see the world's most diverse and talented performers develop their skills in a spectacle you'll never forget. As usual, feel free to get creative yourself and come up with an alternative. Explain that this retrospective is likely to take 90 minutes and will involve some writing on sticky notes, some working in pairs and small groups, and then consolidating as a group. There's a little bit of artwork involved as well. Events Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to our circus-themed retrospective. If you've ever been to the circus before, you will surely remember feeling excited and expecting to be wowed by a collection of impressive and talented performers. On several pieces of flip chart paper that you've stationed around the room, write and or draw each of the following talents in the centre. We have the bravery of the lion tamer. We have the humour of the clowns. The strength of the strongman. The resilience of the jugglers. The precision of the knife-throwers. The agility of the high trapeze. The creativity of the acrobats. And the balance of the unicyclist. Of course, you could ask the team for any other mainstream acts that interest them as well. Now, using sticky notes, the team are going to write down answers to the following question. What examples do we have of these talents in our team? We're looking for specific examples or events where the team have displayed those talents. For example, answers such as, Jeff broke the build three times in the same day may fall into the humour category, or accommodating a late change requested by the product owner may fall into the agility category. When a team member has an example written on a sticky note, ask them to add it to the appropriate talent. Give the team about 15 minutes to identify as many examples of these talents as they can. Next, we're going to ask team members to rate the team's current level of performance in each talent. Give each person cards from the decks so that everyone has cards ranging from 1 to 10, so that they can all provide a score. Taking each talent in turn, ask everyone to pick a card from 1 to 10 that indicates their view of the team's score for this talent. Ensure that everyone shows their vote at the same time in order to avoid anyone being influenced. Average out the scores and place the average score in one corner of the flip chart. Then move on to the next talent. Once all the talents have been scored, ask the team to silently reflect on the data they can see in front of them and to collect their own thoughts. Meaning. We now want to explore what these scores mean, both for the team themselves and for those around them. Ask the team to dot vote on the talent that they would like to explore further. Explain that this could be one of their strengths that they wish to expand further on or one of their weaknesses that they would like to address. It might even be one that they know the least about. Facilitate an exploration of the meaning of this talent with these questions. What impact is our current state having on us, on others? What would it mean for us to improve? Annotate the flip chart papers by writing down the reflections that the teams draw on the respective talents. Once the team have explored that talent, invite them to look at another one. You'll probably have time to look at about three in this retrospective. As facilitator, allow the team to focus on their interest areas as much as possible, but be careful that it doesn't become too focused on either strengths or weaknesses. Else. This optional aspect of the retrospective could be used as an introductory icebreaker activity or the hook for a variation on the existing retrospective or a supplementary part of this current retrospective structure. Explain to the team that if we view the project as a team performance, then we may wish to explore what else goes into that performance other than individual skill. This next activity is best placed in a large open space, without any chairs, tables or other obstacles in the way. Using the three juggling balls, ask the team to work out a system to throw the balls between the group according to the following rules. All three balls must always be in motion. All team members must always be in motion, and team members can only hold onto a ball for one second. This should create a mini juggling challenge for the group, which will inevitably involve some failure, lots of practice, and hopefully some fun too. After the team have mastered the task, or had enough, sit back down and ask the question, what else, other than individual skill, goes into a team performance like the one we just experienced? The themes we expect to come out here are those involving the environment, the team that we're working in, the conditions, the relationships, and the trust between people, among others. On a new piece of flip-chat paper, write down the following headings in three columns. Safety. What do we need in order to feel safe? Support. What support do we need? Surroundings. What environment will help us as a team? Note down what the team say, and then facilitate a discussion about what they need in their actual environment with respect to these aspects of team performance. Examples from this activity may include observations such as we need support from management when our initial estimates turn out to be wrong, or we need to be able to offer help to each other even when we think we don't need it. Decisions. A good circus has a good marketing campaign behind them. So now the team are going to create a poster for their next performance, which is, in fact, their next sprint or iteration. For this, make use of a flip-chat sheet or whiteboard where the team can stand and draw together. Hopefully the team will be familiar with what a circus poster looks like, but in any case, explain that the poster needs the following. The team name. If there is one, otherwise, invent one as part of the exercise. A strap line or slogan. Perhaps a quote from a press reviewer of future performance. The team need to imagine what the press would be saying about their team after their next performance. And some photos of the performers. You may wish to invite the team to consider the following questions. What makes us an attractive troop to be part of? What would make us a really attractive troop for new people to join? Once the poster is complete, ask the team to reflect on the output and propose two to three actions from the following question. What needs to be done to make this happen? Put particular emphasis on the future press release the team came up with. Agree onus for these actions before the retrospective completes.


I welcome members to the eighth meeting in 2015 of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee. I welcome, especially for one of the items this morning, British Sign Language interpreters. As always, I ask members to turn off mobile phones please. Agender item one is instrument subject to affirmative procedure. No points have been raised by our legal advisers on the Continuing Care Scotland Order 2015 draft. The Aftercare Eligible Needs Scotland Order 2015 draft. The Post 16 Education Scotland Act 2013, Modification of Legislation Order 2015 draft. The Common Financial Tool etc. Scotland Amendment Regulations 2015 draft. The Advice and Assistance Assistance by Wave Representation Scotland Amendment No. 2 Regulations 2015 draft. The Courts Reform Scotland Act 2014 Consequential Provisions Order 2015 draft. Nor on the Single Use Carrier Bags Charge Fixed Penalty Notices and Amendment Scotland Regulations 2015 draft. However, the committee may wish to note a matter which has been raised in relation to the laying of these instruments. As they are subject to the affirmative procedure, in terms of standing orders, the lead committee has a period of 40 days from the instrument being laid to report on whether it is recommending that the instrument be approved or not. The 40th day for these instruments is the 30th of March. They are not intended to come into force on either the 31st of March or the 1st of April. Let me correct that. They are then intended to come into force on either the 31st of March or the 1st of April. My apologies. Little or no time has therefore been allowed by the Government for obtaining a parliamentary resolution where the lead committee to take the full time permitted by standing orders. As a result, the lead committee will be required to report sooner than the period allowed by standing orders in order for the Government's planned timetable to be capable of being fulfilled. A similar issue has arisen in relation to the following instrument, which is the Scottish Landfill Tax Exemption Certificates Order 2015 draft. While no formal points have been raised by our legal advisers, the committee may wish to note that for that instrument the 40th day postdates the date on which the instrument comes into force. In this case, therefore, less time has been allowed by the Government for the lead committee to report prior to the instrument coming into force than the standing orders permit. The lead committee will be required to report sooner than the period allowed by standing orders in order for the Government's planned timetable to be capable of being fulfilled. It is, of course, possible for the Government to seek a parliamentary resolution more quickly than standing orders allow, but the committee may consider that it would be at least courteous to inform the Parliament that this was the case and the reasons for doing so. Do members have any comments on this? The committee may also wish to note that the single-use carrier bags charged fixed penalty notices and amendments to Scotland regulations 2015 were initially laid on 19 February 2015 and were subsequently withdrawn and relayed on 24 February to correct a typographical error highlighted by our legal advisers. With that laying issue that I have highlighted aside, is the committee content with all the aforementioned instruments, please? Thank you. No points have been raised by our legal advisers on the general medical council, fitness to practice and overarching objective and the professional standards authority for health social care references to court order 2015 draft, nor on the healthcare and associated professions knowledge of English order 2015 draft, nor on the healthcare professions public health specialists and miscellaneous amendments order 2015 draft. However, the committee may wish to note that the general medical council, fitness to practice and overarching objective and the professional standards authority for health and social care references to court order 2015 draft was first considered by the committee on 17 February and no points were drawn to the attention of Parliament. However, following comment from the joint committee on statutory instruments at Westminster, the order was withdrawn and relayed on 23 February 2015 to adjust a minor matter. The committee may further wish to note that the healthcare and associated professions knowledge of English order 2015 draft replaces an earlier draft, which was laid before the Scottish Parliament on 4 February, but which was withdrawn by the Scottish Government following correspondence with the committee's legal advisers. The instrument was similarly withdrawn from Westminster by the Department of Health. This relayed version corrects these errors, as well as a few minor points, which were also identified by the committee's legal advisers. Is the committee at content with these instruments, please? Agender item 2, instrument subject to negative procedure. No points have been raised by our legal advisers on the public bodies joint working integration joint boards and integration joint monitoring committees amendment Scotland order 2015 SSI 2015-66, nor on the land and building transaction tax transitional provisions Scotland amendment order 2015 SSI 2015-71. The committee may wish to note that the first of these two instruments corrects a number of drafting errors and inconsistencies to which the committee drew the Parliament's attention when it considered SSI 2014-285 and SSI 2014-281. Is the committee content with these instruments, please? Agender item 3, instrument not subject to any parliamentary procedure. No points have been raised by our legal advisers on the children and young people Scotland act 2014, commencement number 7, order 2015, SSI 2015-61, nor on the environmental protection act 1990, commencement number 20, Scotland order 2015, SSI 2015-72, nor on the environment act 1995, commencement number 24, Scotland order 2015, SSI 2015-73. Is the committee content with these instruments, please? We turn now to agenda item 4, which is the British Sign Language Scotland Bill. In examining a bill the delegated powers and law reform committee considers matters such as whether the right balance in the bill overall has been struck between primary legislation and delegated powers, whether delegated powers are properly drafted, and whether a delegated power is subject to the appropriate form of parliamentary procedure. The committee also considers provisions in the bill which give power to do something purely administratively, for example by direction or guidance, and assesses whether they are subject to parliamentary procedure. It is not within the remit of the committee to consider the policy merits of a bill or the policy merits of those powers that it delegates. The committee is asked to agree today questions which it may wish to ask the member in charge of the bill, Mark Griffin MSP, on the delegated powers in the bill. It is suggested that these questions are put to the member in writing. The responses received will then be used to help inform the committee report on the bill, which we will consider at a later date. The member in charge of the bill has produced a delegated powers memorandum which provides information on the subordinate legislation in the bill. The memorandum is available in both English and British Sign Language on the Parliament's website. Section 3 of the bill sets out the responsibilities of local authorities in relation to the preparation of authority plans and gives details of what authority plans must contain. Section 3-4B sets out several matters to which an authority is to have regard in preparing its plan. These include, at section 3-4BV, any guidance relevant either to the preparation or revision of authority plans as may be issued by Scottish ministers. The power to issue guidance is not explained in the delegated powers memorandum and it is not a power to make subordinate legislation. Does the committee therefore agree to ask the member in charge of the bill for an explanation of the following four things? One, why the power to issue guidance is being taken. Two, examples of the provision likely to be made in any guidance issued. Three, why it is appropriate for the power to be exercised by way of guidance rather than subordinate legislation. Four, the form in which the guidance is likely to be issued and the manner of its publication. Thank you very much, convener. It is clear that the power to issue guidance that is taken in the bill is essentially a consequence of the bill providing that bodies need to take account of guidance from Governments rather than being a directly expressed intent. On that basis, we perhaps should simplify what we ask for an explanation by not asking why the power is being taken but rather focusing on the use that is likely to be made of any such power and how it might be exercised. Obviously, this is a very welcome piece of legislation and our interest in it is how guidance may influence the way which, if Parliament passes this legislation, it will be exercised. Do you members have any other comments? I think that it is. I was just wondering will it be possible for the member to answer all of those questions or will some of it have to be referred back to the Government? I am sure that the answer to that is that some of it will have to be referred back to the Government who will be much better familiar with what ministers can and should do. In the context of Stuart's question, I am wondering whether we might just simply ask why the power to issue guidance is being taken and how it is expected to be used. I think that we normally ask for writing in the first instance. It is just the simplest way forward. Were there to be an issue after we have got the writing, then clearly we can ask the member to come. John. I am quite happy with the formal words provided by our legal advisers. I am happy with the formal words provided by our legal advisers. I am happy with the formal words provided by our legal advisers. If it is helpful, I am certainly not going to push the point that I raised. I have made the point on the record and it can be read by the member. I think on that basis we will just leave it as it is if you are happy. Thank you. Section 4 sets out the responsibilities of listed authorities with regard to the publication of authority plans, including the timescales for such publications, Broadly speaking, authority plans are to be published as soon as reasonably practicable after publication of the corresponding national plan. The national plan and authority plans are to be prepared in each session of the Parliament. Subsection 6 provides that in publishing an authority plan or a revised plan, a listed authority is to have regard to any guidance issued by Scottish ministers concerning publication. Again, an explanation of this power has not been included in the delegated powers memorandum. Does the committee therefore agree to ask the member in charge for an explanation of why the power to issue guidance is being taken, examples of the provision likely to be made in any guidance issued, why it is appropriate for the power to be exercised by way of guidance rather than subordinate legislation, and the form in which guidance is likely to be issued and the manner of publication? I suggest to the committee that the previous discussion probably applies. I agree. Thank you very much indeed. That brings us to agenda item 5, which is ministerial correspondence. This is an opportunity to consider the Scottish Government's response to our report on instruments that were considered by the committee during 2013-14. Correspondence also responds to the further issues raised in the committee's oral evidence session with the Minister for Parliamentary Business, which took place on 16 December last year. Members will have seen the correspondence from the Minister for Parliamentary Business. Members have any comments? Part of the minister's response, which I particularly welcome, is that relating to consolidation. The minister draws to our attention that there have been ten consolidations in the reporting year and that more will be laid in the current year. I simply respond by encouraging the minister to keep up the good work and indeed find additional resources to do even more. Should that be possible? I just now seen this letter and read it very briefly. I, too, would support what Stuart has said and would note the positive tone from the minister, which I think is to be welcomed in endeavouring to meet the points sensibly and reasonably raised by this committee. I welcome that approach by the Government, I must say. Thank you for those welcoming words. Any further comments? Does the committee therefore agree to note the correspondence? Much obliged, thank you very much. That brings us to the end of the agenda. Our next meeting will be next Tuesday. I close this meeting. Thank you.


Welcome to Access to Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey guys, good morning everybody. Happy Sunday, happy weekend everybody. Welcome to another edition of the AccessToTrader.com weekend update show. Hope everybody is having a wonderful, wonderful weekend. Hope everybody is happy, healthy, and all that good stuff that makes for quality life. As always, we really, again, really, really appreciate all the support, all the feedback, all the contributions from the online community. If you are brand new to the channel, like, subscribe, share, tell a friend, right? Tell a friend. We always try to provide as much unbiased data, right? Facts as we can possibly happen from this idiotic brain, so we really do appreciate your viewership. So thank you. So let's talk about the market. Well, number one, I always go into every single update. And I'm doing this for, next year is going to be quarter of a century, a lot of time, right? And, you know, about 10, 15 years ago, I really started getting humbled.    And, you know, I realized years and years and years ago what I thought was going to happen and what should happen are two different things, right? Like, this is what we always talk about. It's not the market we want, it's the market we have.  If you've been watching this broadcast for a while, you kind of know that every single day, look, I have an opinion. I have a sense of what's going to happen based on the research, but is it possibly going to go my way? Listen, we don't know. That's the whole point. If I knew 100%, I'd be all in max overnight on every single thing, but we don't. So this is why we try to always instill the idea is that we're not trading from week to week, month to month, year to year. We're trading from day to day. So let's, based on what we talked about here, let's take a little quick history lesson. So here's the chart on the QQQs. If you're brand new, if you are brand new to the channel, I primarily trade probably same tensile. You know, my universe is probably about 10 stocks, right?  The QQs. So my universe is pretty much in the Nasdaq 100, you know, maybe 10, 15% max of everything, you know, throw in the Roku's of the world and stuff like that. But primarily it's the same names. So I always track what the ETF is doing based on what I think is going to happen for the next day. Again, not three years from now, not three weeks from now for the next day. And if you guys remember somewhere around here, right, we had this really phenomenal run. We, the sellers got tied around January 6. We reclaimed the 50-day moving average. And again, if you're, you know, been watching this channel for a long time, you know how important the 50-day moving average is. It's a really aggressive shift in sentiment. And we went from bearish, which 80% of the time we were in 2022 to bullish, where we got, you know, above this 278 level on January 11. And had this phenomenal run all the way up to February the 2nd. And then we put in this inverted hammer. And an inverted hammer, again, I'm not a, you know, I'm not a massive expert in Japanese candlesticks. But I know the basics, right? Over the years, I've picked up the basics. And I know a hammer, right, which is a hammer, which is an exhaustion cycle, right? Exhaustion cycle. And the sellers get tired, we'll go higher, you know, at least for the short term. And inverted hammer basically means we're, you know, gassing out, right? Doesn't necessarily have to happen the next day, but we're gassing out in the markets, getting a little bit tired in that direction. So here we put in kind of this inverted hammer and the market for the next several days started putting in lower highs, lower highs, lower highs. And then we started rallying again. And this was the kind of the inverted hammer that really set the market, you know, really set the market for the next two weeks, downside bias. And again, all these numbers we talk about, I try to put in these specific numbers. If I remember, again, I'm not getting any older, excuse me again, not getting any younger. But I try to put in the ETF numbers for everybody because, you know, not everybody trades the ETFs. But I like to at least share that information as a guide to the viewership to kind of say thank you, give them the specific numbers. So you guys can formulate your own opinion, but based on those technical numbers. So we started talking about three numbers, right? Three numbers are going to be very important after the exhaustion cycle. We talked about 297, right? You guys remember 297, 297, 297, the market broke 297. Then we talked about 293, 293, 293, I think Kyler made shorts of all these numbers, 293 to the downside and the market broke 293 to the downside. And then we said 290 is going to be very, very important because that is the 200 day moving average. And that's this whole channel going all the way back, go all the way back to January the 26th to where we were only three days ago. So it was a very, very big number. And if you guys remember, we tested the 200 day moving average, not once, twice, but three times. And on the third time, it was on Thursday. The third time, we gapped below the 200 day moving average, right? We gapped below the 200 day moving average pre-market 90, you know, 95% of the meat off the bone was gone, was absolutely gone. You couldn't shorten the whole because you were rallying, you were literally gapping down into this 288 lower daily bologna man. And then we started slowly but surely reversing, but it wasn't like one of those, you know, that's it. Throw the baby out at the bathwater. That's the bottom. It was basically, okay, you know, we're rallying a little bit back. It keeps on getting stuck at that 290 level. If you guys remember, it's kept on getting to the 290, kept on washing, kept on getting to the 290, kept on washing kind of in mid-morning, mid-day. And here's where we talk about, we constantly talk about it, constantly remind. And that's the most important part is, again, trade the market you have, not the market you want. And here's a constant reminder that nothing that you think should happen next has to happen, right? So we talked about any close now, any close below 290, anything. It could be 290, 289, 99, any close below 290. And we were going to start going into the 50-day moving average. Remember all those videos I was recording in the past week, right? Any close below 290, we're going to get to the 50-day. And then all of a sudden, and this is, again, why we talk about that the stock market and trading as a whole is the greatest reality show that's not on television. So you had Fed Bostic of all people come out. Now, mind you, Fed Bostic is not, to my knowledge, right? Fed Bostic is not a voting member, okay? So it's not like, you know, it's not like powers coming up and making these statements. So Bostic comes out around, I don't remember, I think it was like mid-morning, maybe towards, you know, maybe towards lunchtime, maybe a little bit after. And he turns around and he said, well, and yeah, I'm kind of going to paraphrase it, but from, you know, from what he basically saw, there's a shot, he said, there's a shot that the Fed can pause mid to late summer, right? Because again, that's what the market's looking for, the market's looking for clarity. And if you remember, here's the five minute view, here's the five minute view of the market, here's the five minute view of the market from Thursday, it just absolutely erupted, right? Because again, the market just wants to understand an end game. If the Fed definitively came out and said, right, this is it, summer of 2023, this is the last time we're raising rates, inflation is in our control, it's tamed, we got it, we're good, right? It would be a natural, you know, a natural springboard, and the next thing you know, the bears are scrambling to cover. But he didn't say that, it's one of those non-voting members that just said, hey, yeah, this could happen if this, if that could happen. Yeah, how many times have we heard that before? So, you know, we had a huge, huge reversal Thursday's action, right? Here's the reversal, and not only did we get off the mat and reclaim the 290 level, the 200 day moving average, we got above the next day, we got above the previous day's channel of 294, which is again, the most basic thing in technical analysis. A stock can't go higher if it doesn't take out the previous day's high, and a stock can't go lower unless it takes out the previous day's low. So not only did we reverse on those comments that we had, we took out the previous day. And the question was, well, what is this, you know, was this just kind of a knee-jerk reaction as we know the markets don't go straight down, or can the bulls actually build? And here it can kind of set the stage. We had the ISM numbers come out, we had an ISM number come out at 10 o'clock. The ISM number, the market really, really liked. Okay, it looked like, let's see, your ISM services report noted higher new orders with lower prices paid. The market liked that news, and then here we are off the running again. And if you were watching the video, especially in the last week, there was a specific number that I talked about over and over and over again. I said, there's no way I can get bullish, okay? I could get mentally bullish unless the bulls reclaim 299. If you guys remember, right, 299 was the highest candle here on February the 21st into this 20-day supply. If you guys remember, we kept on getting rejected, the 20-day supply, 20-day supply, 20-day supply, 20-day supply putting in lower highs. So once it reclaimed that 299 level, that broke this whole downtrend that started, literally that started on February the 3rd, continued on this inverted hammer on February the 16th. And now the bulls, because we had such a really aggressive 36 hours, the bulls, this was the highest close in the whole formation, breaking down, breaking the downtrend that we started all the way back here in this inverted hammer, second inverted hammer, confirmation. And now the question is, can the bulls keep this going? And that's the answer. That's the million-dollar question we have going into Monday. Here is the last hurdle. Right, guys? Here is absolutely the last hurdle. Now, again, you can call this whatever you want.  I don't care. Whatever you want to call it, potato, potato, right? The whole thing, potato, potato, tomato, tomato. So whatever floats your boat. But what I do know is stocks trade from supply to supply and demand to demand. Right? Again, keep this in mind.   Right? So here is supply and then we stop. You see how we stop? Right at supply here. Right? This is... This is the hundred... Let me see which one this is. This one is... This one is... Yeah. So this is the 20-day... This is the 20-day SMA. Right? Everybody see that? This is the 20-day EMA. This is the 20-day SMA. I believe so. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Maybe e-signals all jacked up. Doesn't matter. A line's a line a line. I forget if you trade a PS63 and understand why it's so important and you'll see visually, why it stopped here on Friday. If the bulls can start building a new base, in other words, if the price action can occur more times than not above this 300 area, then folks, we will resume this whole upward bias. And you can see how much airspace we have, because the next supply zone is all the way up to 311. So yeah, is Friday... It was Friday's reversal of big deal reclaiming all these levels? Absolutely. Is Monday going to be even more important to see if the bulls can... It's a pretty basic thing of sink or swim. The bulls are either going to reclaim this 300 level and start building above it, or they're going to get rejected off this 300 level, and if they start losing 297 on the close, you know what's going to happen next. So yeah, I mean look, if you go through... And it took me this weekend five minutes, right? Five minutes to do my watch list, because if we do confirm this ridiculous value, right? There's absolutely ridiculous value going into this trading week, but the key is we have to confirm, right? And you don't have to get very, very creative. All the NASDAQ has to do is reclaim this 300 level and build. Any close over 300 is super duper bullish. I primarily am focusing on the big cap, mega cap names. I threw in a couple of smaller names for you guys, but you know, here's some names that I love, right? NVIDIA, we've been talking about, you know, we've been talking about NVIDIA. Again, just to give you an idea of why we talked about on Wednesday that it's completely different. If you guys don't know, NVIDIA did an offering, I think it was like 10 billion, and people, oh my God, this is it, NVIDIA is good, right? Big cap stocks, Apple, they all access the debt market. They do, it's just they do that from time to time. It's not that they need the money. A lot of money is still very, very cheap to borrow despite the rising rates. So that's what a lot of these companies do. They access the debt market. Look at NVIDIA. This thing is literally an inch away, right? An inch away of taking out the earnings highs. If there's a red to green open, and hopefully the market gaps for obvious reasons, but if there's a red to green open, right? If there's a red to green open and the video starts taking down the earnings highs, it will start its next leg up. We saw on Friday, 250 weeklies rolling in for this week. Look at a stock like AI, right? A lot of you guys, especially the don't trade beta, this has been the hot stock this year, right? Really, really hot stock. Again, here's another perfect example. When a stock reclaims a 50-day moving average, right? It reclaimed a 50-day moving average at 1265, right? Wherever this conversation right up here, keep an eye on this AI. Especially if it gives a down open, right? If it gives a down open, watch the build above Friday's highs. If it could start getting above that, it could wake up. TTD I really like as well. Look at the TTD chart. It stopped now three times in the same area. If it could just reclaim this channel here, this thing is going to start waking up again. Look at AMD. You can go through a lot of stocks, guys. There's a lot of really good-looking charts that are coming off the bottom. All they need to do is reclaim their big areas. Meta continues to be a monster. Meta is the only one that I didn't participate in on Friday. It was rallying right before the ISM. I was afraid to buy it right before the ISM, and this thing exploded. So let me give you guys some of the names that... Well, let me give you guys the pivots from Friday. Again, some really pretty big moves. DXCM, I really like this thing. Trade is a little slower. Trade is a little spreadier. But the formation is there. If you are patient, this thing can go. DXCM 121.50, 122 needs to build. Here is DXCM. Oops, DXCM. Really, really nice-looking chart. Look at this candle on Thursday. In golf, two weeks' worth of selling. Stock closed about a dollar above the pivot. If this thing could just wake up, I think there's a shot it gets above this 125.5, and it gets above 125.5, and the market continues to rally. It could be really, really good, but nice move there. On the video, this was the big one. I mean, I missed Meta, but this was the big one. Meta 233.80 and 234.60 pre-market highs, which basically was an opening range high of 235. If it builds above punches shot, it could get to earnings highs, and that's exactly what happened. Great, great move into the close on the video. So here is the 235 area. It took out these two channels, and now traded right into the earning size. If it could just confirm it, I think it starts next like a $5 move there. AMAT, I still like. It didn't reject it. Watch this AMAT, guys. 1.1960 rejected needs to build. It didn't get there on Friday. I still like it going into this week. Look how tight this channel is. This is a beautiful, beautiful channel. So keep an eye on that. Meta, this is the one I regret, but again, how can you buy? How can you buy a stock that's breaking out into an ISM number that we knew the market was weak for two weeks? But I personally missed this one. If you guys got a great job, 1.7820 needs to build. Here was Meta, just absolutely one nuts, right? 1.7820, this thing went to almost 87. Oh, big miss, but you know it is what it is. Safe and sorry. Square finally broke out. We talked about this on Wednesday. 1.7860 needs to build. Finally broke out and confirmed its earnings highs. Beautiful move here. 1.7860 traded up to 81 and changed. I still think this thing goes higher. Next supply is 80 to 70. TTD we just talked about. Again, this is the one that triggered right at the close. 2.99 huge area of supply. Any close above starts next leg up. Again, Q's ran up about 80 cents. So that's it guys. We're set up. We are set up for tomorrow. Again, obviously, I would love to see the Q's confirm. I would love to see the bulls confirm Friday's price action because if they do, that means we have a ton of airspace to go and hopefully we can get kind of another resemblance of what we had when we broke out the first time above the 50-day moving average. Guys, God bless. Stay healthy and as important as everything else in our professional lives. Stay in business. Have a great day. I will see you all tomorrow. Take care.
