Gotta love deregulation. How many institutions are left? Any? CFPB, EPA, HUD, Interior are all run by people that don’t believe in their missions. It’s all about undermining from inside. Who protects the public when private rights of c

What’s he hold period? 45 days? Seems like the $79b investor got a 10% haircut.

I love my Hue lights. They always work.

They just went public at $80b but are raising $8b, so per the chart in the article, quite a few recent investors are getting a haircut? Pre-money $72b valuation?

That’s not true. They do 12-month price targets based on fundamental financial analysis. It’s the short term that they’re not predicting.

Or they can charge more.

Comfort won’t result in regime change. Isn’t that why we sanction?

Also, you wouldn’t have nutrition facts on labels without regulation. Some things the market just can’t solve.

Because it’s cheaper to lie and accountability would require the government anyways. If forced arbitration and class action bans weren’t a thing then maybe private citizens could band together and sue but that method of accountability has

Markets can’t work their market signal magic if information is concealed. If I don’t want to support an authoritarian regime, I shouldn’t have to.

Yes they do. They’re a licensed money transmitter.

It’s important to understand that they don’t typically lend out 10x. My business banker (WF) said they have trouble lending out 0.5x. There’s just not enough high quality lending opportunities.

And Amazon didn't drive Walmart out of business. That's missing the point.

You'd be surprised how many people call to ask for location and time you close or open. It's significant.

Because you have thousands of employees and it gets expensive. It’s a luxury not a necessity and in leaner times, it’s easy to switch to something equivalent but free.

Right. What R&D is slack doing that requires hundreds of millions of dollars? Or G&A? No wonder their investors are cashing out. They see that there are limits else they'd keep riding this as a private company.
772.
by dd36 8y ago
What R&D does slack do to the tune of hundreds of millions per year?!? What G&A is over a hundred million a year? Do you use Slack? Yes, they have a boatload of fat to trim. They can pull an Etsy move but is that not already bake

My thought as well. What on earth about Slack costs hundreds of millions to operate?

Yeah, so what has happened is institutional investors now dominate the SFR rental market. They ask for 5% rent increases every year and therefore have relatively high turn ratios. It makes it easier for mom and pop investors to hold long

It's not different. Not even a little bit. TSLA has sold equity and debt to pay for assets to scale. It does not lose money on its sales. AMZN sold equity and debt to pay for assets to scale.

by dd36 8y ago
Amazon used and still uses debt...
777.
by dd36 8y ago
TSLA is the exact same position as AMZN a decade ago. They don’t need to make profits. They need to invest in assets and scale, which is exactly what they’re doing.

It has both those things. It’s literally devouring market share from similar class vehicles of competitors. The network effect is also happening slowly.

Corporations and their largest beneficiaries will use their media companies and donation/lobbying dollars to spread propaganda within one or more parties to create enough doubt that nothing will happen. That's what needs to be at
