Byju’s. Ola. Oyo. Swiggy- Why have investors slashed their valuations like crazy? 📛📛

Why should this be taken seriously? And why were they valued so high before?

Here’s why these questions deserve more attention! 👇 Image

Cut down twice.

👉 @Olacabs
Before: $7.4bn
Now (Vanguard): $4.8bn
Cut down thrice.

👉 @oyorooms

But, why should these be taken seriously?

The #sweatshop is moving online. The #4IR will usher in
21st century #digital sweatshops.

#IamtheCODE - I am the slave to & of capital.

UN #SDGs are emerging markets - marketed under guise of protecting the planet & eradicating poverty. #WEF is at helm of implementation.
"#iamtheCODE is the first #African-led global movement..." - with love from Paris, #France, #BP Ventures, #Mastercard et al.

The road to hell is paved w/ #NGOs financed by corporate profits.

While lockdown has been slow for some, it's certainly not been for others who have smelt the winds of change!

#SPACs are bypassing Direct Listings & IPO's in a race to market - Sucking up all that 💰 hunting for returns 📈

#Fintech joining 'Democratise & Digitalise everything'
#China seem poised to become the worlds leading power - #US are on guard! 🧐

Little bit like their former communist friends (Russia) the leadership are getting their Oligarchs/Titans in-line & on-message before their potential big push.

Everything seems to be changing around us

#MasayoshiSon says China's crackdown on #Alibaba is nothing different than antitrust regulations in US or UK

businessinsider.in/international/…

By @SanchDash
@SanchDash #MasayoshiSon, the founder and CEO of #SoftBank, and a long-time friend of #Alibaba founder #JackMa, said that the Chinese crackdown on Alibaba is the same as anti-trust regulations that have existed since a long time in the US or European countries.
@SanchDash Whereas in #China, according to Son, internet companies had a free hand, where they could do whatever they wanted.

More than 3 years ago, @ScheckWSJ & I began reporting on Saudi Arabia's bold economic changes under King Salman & his son Mohammed bin Salman. Today is publication day for BLOOD AND OIL, our book about MBS's rise to power & the storm of activity during his first 5 years in power Image
MBS's ascent is important because all signs point to him becoming the king of Saudi Arabia at a young age, setting him up to be in power for decades. He is also pushing his country toward rapid, radical change with regards to social practices, religion, and the economy
He's unlike anyone in #Saudi history, a young, technology-obsessed, business-focused ruler with an obsessive work schedule and attention to detail. He's also shown himself to be thin-skinned, brutal with dissidents and ruthless with his own family.

#Apple , $2 Trillion stock and mystery of 10:30 AM when large buying happens in #FAANG especially #Apple
#swissbank #softbank #boj #norgesbank are large buyers of these stocks

Apple hit a market cap of $2 trillion, doubling in valuation in just over two years.
Apple first reached a $1 trillion market cap on Aug. 2, 2018. It didn't take long for other tech giants Amazon, Microsoft and Alphabet to match Apple's $1 trillion market cap.
All of Apple’s second $1 trillion came in the past 21 weeks...
while the global economy shrank faster than ever before in the coronavirus pandemic.
Investors have started seeing Apple's business less like other hardware makers and more like a software company, as indicated by Apple's quickly rising price-earnings ratio, which is now over 33

THREAD

A thread on some fascinating insights from @wolfejosh co-founder of Lux Capital collected from multiple podcasts.

Link to the podcasts at the end of the thread.
1/ On investment strategy:

The 100-0-100 strategy combining arrogance, humility and ambition

- 100% certain Lux will invest in future tech

-0% idea in what it will be

-100% certain that best investments will emerge from cutting edge of tech if one is curious and passionate
2/ On technology and morality -

Technology increases our humanity. Invent technology so that people can find their genius.

Like the PC was an instrument for Bill Gates to show his genius and make the world better.

#SoftBank is projecting losses worth $24 billion for 2019 fiscal. The Japanese technology company attributed the losses on investments made through its #VisionFund..
(1/3)
We just can't get around our head why would #VisionFund invest in traditional Real Estate companies like
Clutter
Compass
Katerra
OpenDoor
#Wework
#OYO
(2/3)
Especially Real Estate companies with no USP in the long run. No wonder WeWork and Oyo are among the main contributors for the Funds losses. (3/3)

Predictions are useless but predicting is invaluable (scenario planning)

#Snap is less corrosive / damaging to teens
#Tesla trades at 3x the value of auto companies, worth more than Ford & GM combined, dramatically overvalued
#SherylSandberg 2nd best paid person who does the most damage (after Zuck)—she's erased from FB like Trotsky from photos
#HBOMax = like going to the Louvre & saying "let's scale this"—biggest brand blunder of 2018
#AWS is worth more than #Amazon—will be spun out
Choice is a bad thing, people want less choice but to be confident in the choices they're making
