The <strong>Nasdaq</strong> <strong>Composite</strong>, <strong>S&P 500</strong>, and <strong>Dow Jones Industrial Average</strong> gained 16.7%, 7%, and 0.4%, respectively.</p><p>With the tech-heavy Nasdaq leading the way higher, some investors are wondering: What technology names are worth owning right now? </p><p>These three Motley Fool contributors are eyeing <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SE\">Sea Limited </a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SOFI\">SoFi Technologies </a>, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a>. Here's why.</p><h2>A banking crisis overshadows SoFi's numerous positives</h2><p><strong>Justin Pope</strong> <strong>(SoFi Technologies):</strong> It's been tough living as a digital bank for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SOFI\">SoFi Technologies</a>. The company's been plagued by a student loan freeze for several years, and the recent banking crisis has only shaken investor confidence in smaller lenders. Shares are trading near the low end of their 52-week range, down 77% from their high.</p><p>But the bank's on firmer ground than its share price might indicate. First, SoFi is well capitalized -- well above the minimum financial ratios regulators mandate, and its depositor base of 5.2 million members is more diversified than a bank like Silicon Valley Bank. Second, there's a student loan freeze in effect, which has hurt SoFi's loan refinancing business, which was huge before the pandemic.</p><p>However, it hasn't stopped SoFi from marching toward profitability. The company posted non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $143 million in 2022 and is guiding for $260 million to $280 million for 2023. Importantly, management expects net income under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to turn positive by the end of the year.</p><p>Between a banking crisis and a student loan freeze, it's hard to imagine what else could go wrong for SoFi. That's why the stock could rebound when the smoke clears. The student loan freeze seems on course to end later this year, and it looks like the government will do what's needed to ensure confidence in the banking system.</p><p>Then, investors might better appreciate SoFi's rapidly growing user base, looming profitability, and strong balance sheet. CEO Anthony Noto reiterated his confidence, buying roughly $1.2 million in stock last month. You can't predict when, but SoFi's stock could spring higher at the first sign of positive news.</p><h2>The tech conglomerate that may soon seem 'unlimited'</h2><p><strong>Will Healy</strong> <strong>(Sea Limited): </strong>Admittedly, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SE\">Sea Limited</a> stock may appear to have moved too far too fast. Since falling to a low of just under $41 per share last November, it has more than doubled.</p><p>Still, in other ways, Sea Limited appears far from done. The tech conglomerate, which includes the e-commerce business Shopee and fintech segment Sea Money, has drawn investor interest amid a push to cut costs and turn profitable.</p><p>Sea Money has continued to grow at a triple-digit clip, though it only makes up around 10% of the company's revenue. Earlier in the year, Shopee reversed most of its expansion plans outside its core Southeast Asian market. But the strategy seems to have worked as e-commerce revenue of $7.3 billion rose 42% in 2022 compared with the prior year.</p><p>Additionally, the factor that could make Sea Limited's stock fully turn around is the reversal of declining revenue in its gaming segment, Garena. Garena's <em>Free Fire </em>was the world's most downloaded mobile game from 2019 to 2021, but its popularity has waned amid a decline in the gaming industry. Consequently, Garena's revenue dropped 9% in 2022 to $3.9 billion.</p><p>However, Newzoo forecasts player numbers will grow from 3.2 billion in 2022 to 3.5 billion by 2025. Such growth should help reverse declines in the gaming industry. That could accelerate Sea Limited's revenue growth, which in 2022 surged 25% to $12.4 billion.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7498cb1aa3bf16d1bb26dcaf39931135\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\"/></p><p>SE PS Ratio data by YCharts</p><p>Moreover, despite the recent surge in the stock price, investors should remember that Sea Limited sells at a discount of more than 70% from its all-time high in the fall of 2021. As a result, it trades at a P/S ratio of 4. That is just above all-time lows and well below the record sales multiple of just above 30 in 2021.</p><p>Such a valuation could induce investors to brave the waters. And given the entertainment stock's potential when all three segments are in a growth mode, the new bull market in Sea Limited stock may have only just begun.</p><h2>Adobe's stock is still a bargain</h2><p><strong>Jake Lerch (Adobe):</strong> Shares of software giant <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a> have been on a wild ride over the last year and a half. The stock is still more than 44% off its all-time high of $688.37, even after rallying 35% over the last six months.</p><p>Yet, to my eye, Adobe has room to run higher from here -- <em>much higher</em>. Why? Two reasons.</p><p>First, Wall Street has been wrong. Many analysts have expected a pullback in demand for Adobe's products that just hasn't materialized. The company has beaten earnings expectations in four straight quarters. Adobe's rockstar lineup of products, including Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXP.AU\">Experience</a> Cloud, continue to draw in new customers and help retain existing ones.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a973d5cfbfe76f197b5f5eae7c9931b1\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"449\"/></p><p>ADBE data by YCharts</p><p>Second, Adobe's valuation still looks attractive.

The Nasdaq Composite, S&P 500, and Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 16.7%, 7%, and 0.4%, respectively.With the tech-heavy Nasdaq leading the way higher, some investors are wondering: What technology names are worth owning right now? These three Motley Fool contributors are eyeing Sea Limited , SoFi Technologies , and Adobe. Here's why.A banking crisis overshadows SoFi's numerous positivesJustin Pope (SoFi Technologies): It's been tough living as a digital bank for SoFi Technologies. The company's been plagued by a student loan freeze for several years, and the recent banking crisis has only shaken investor confidence in smaller lenders. Shares are trading near the low end of their 52-week range, down 77% from their high.But the bank's on firmer ground than its share price might indicate. First, SoFi is well capitalized -- well above the minimum financial ratios regulators mandate, and its depositor base of 5.2 million members is more diversified than a bank like Silicon Valley Bank. Second, there's a student loan freeze in effect, which has hurt SoFi's loan refinancing business, which was huge before the pandemic.However, it hasn't stopped SoFi from marching toward profitability. The company posted non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $143 million in 2022 and is guiding for $260 million to $280 million for 2023. Importantly, management expects net income under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to turn positive by the end of the year.Between a banking crisis and a student loan freeze, it's hard to imagine what else could go wrong for SoFi. That's why the stock could rebound when the smoke clears. The student loan freeze seems on course to end later this year, and it looks like the government will do what's needed to ensure confidence in the banking system.Then, investors might better appreciate SoFi's rapidly growing user base, looming profitability, and strong balance sheet. CEO Anthony Noto reiterated his confidence, buying roughly $1.2 million in stock last month. You can't predict when, but SoFi's stock could spring higher at the first sign of positive news.The tech conglomerate that may soon seem 'unlimited'Will Healy (Sea Limited): Admittedly, Sea Limited stock may appear to have moved too far too fast. Since falling to a low of just under $41 per share last November, it has more than doubled.Still, in other ways, Sea Limited appears far from done. The tech conglomerate, which includes the e-commerce business Shopee and fintech segment Sea Money, has drawn investor interest amid a push to cut costs and turn profitable.Sea Money has continued to grow at a triple-digit clip, though it only makes up around 10% of the company's revenue. Earlier in the year, Shopee reversed most of its expansion plans outside its core Southeast Asian market. But the strategy seems to have worked as e-commerce revenue of $7.3 billion rose 42% in 2022 compared with the prior year.Additionally, the factor that could make Sea Limited's stock fully turn around is the reversal of declining revenue in its gaming segment, Garena. Garena's Free Fire was the world's most downloaded mobile game from 2019 to 2021, but its popularity has waned amid a decline in the gaming industry. Consequently, Garena's revenue dropped 9% in 2022 to $3.9 billion.However, Newzoo forecasts player numbers will grow from 3.2 billion in 2022 to 3.5 billion by 2025. Such growth should help reverse declines in the gaming industry. That could accelerate Sea Limited's revenue growth, which in 2022 surged 25% to $12.4 billion.SE PS Ratio data by YChartsMoreover, despite the recent surge in the stock price, investors should remember that Sea Limited sells at a discount of more than 70% from its all-time high in the fall of 2021. As a result, it trades at a P/S ratio of 4. That is just above all-time lows and well below the record sales multiple of just above 30 in 2021.Such a valuation could induce investors to brave the waters. And given the entertainment stock's potential when all three segments are in a growth mode, the new bull market in Sea Limited stock may have only just begun.Adobe's stock is still a bargainJake Lerch (Adobe): Shares of software giant Adobe have been on a wild ride over the last year and a half. The stock is still more than 44% off its all-time high of $688.37, even after rallying 35% over the last six months.Yet, to my eye, Adobe has room to run higher from here -- much higher. Why? Two reasons.First, Wall Street has been wrong. Many analysts have expected a pullback in demand for Adobe's products that just hasn't materialized. The company has beaten earnings expectations in four straight quarters. Adobe's rockstar lineup of products, including Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, and Experience Cloud, continue to draw in new customers and help retain existing ones.ADBE data by YChartsSecond, Adobe's valuation still looks attractive. As you can see above, Adobe's stock price has more or less tracked its trailing-12-month revenue over the last 10 years. However, right now, its stock price is lagging far behind its revenue. This is why the company's price-to-sales ratio stands at 10, below its long-term average of 12.I expect Adobe will deliver solid sales and earnings results going forward -- thanks to its subscription model and its best-of-breed creative software solutions. And if that happens, Adobe's stock could be off to the races.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":8,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":839245879,"gmtCreate":1629163629891,"gmtModify":1676529949865,"author":{"id":"3570885355172302","authorId":"3570885355172302","name":"Jstan","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":14,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/839245879","repostId":"2160278866","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2160278866","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1629153526,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2160278866?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-17 06:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"S&P 500, Dow hit record highs as defensive shares shine","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2160278866","media":"Reuters","summary":"* Healthcare sector rises over 1%, utilities, staples gain\n* Cyclical areas off: Energy, materials, ","content":"<p>* Healthcare sector rises over 1%, utilities, staples gain</p>\n<p>* Cyclical areas off: Energy, materials, financials weak</p>\n<p>* China factory output, retail sales growth slow sharply</p>\n<p>* Tesla slumps after U.S. opens probe into Autopilot</p>\n<p>* Dow up 0.31%, S&P up 0.26%, Nasdaq down 0.2%</p>\n<p>Aug 16 (Reuters) - The benchmark S&P 500 and the Dow industrials hit record highs on Monday as investors moved into defensive sectors and stocks recovered from losses earlier in the session, shaking off glum economic data out of China.</p>\n<p>Economically sensitive groups such as energy, materials and financials were weaker after China's factory output and retail sales growth slowed sharply and missed expectations in July, as new COVID-19 outbreaks and floods disrupted business operations.</p>\n<p>But healthcare gained 1.1%, the best-performing S&P 500 sector.

A resurgence in COVID-19 cases and the impact on the economy are keeping markets on edge, with investors watching earnings reports from major retailers due later in the week.\nInvestors were also digesting news from Afghanistan, where thousands of civilians desperate to flee the country thronged Kabul airport after the Taliban seized the capital.\nIn company news, Tesla shares fell 4.3% after U.S. auto safety regulators said they had opened a formal safety probe into the company's driver assistance system Autopilot after a series of crashes involving emergency vehicles.\nDeclining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 1.75-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 2.22-to-1 ratio favored decliners.\nThe S&P 500 posted 68 new 52-week highs and one new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 72 new highs and 259 new lows.\nAbout 8.5 billion shares changed hands in U.S. exchanges, below the 9.2 billion daily average over the last 20 sessions.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":47,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9096636322,"gmtCreate":1644370617115,"gmtModify":1676533918155,"author":{"id":"3570885355172302","authorId":"3570885355172302","name":"Jstan","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9096636322","repostId":"2210580326","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2210580326","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1644360051,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2210580326?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-02-09 06:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street ends higher; bank stocks rise with Treasury yields","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2210580326","media":"Reuters","summary":"* Pfizer falls on disappointing forecast* Coty gains after raising earnings estimates* Meta Platform","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>* Pfizer falls on disappointing forecast</p><p>* Coty gains after raising earnings estimates</p><p>* <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Meta Platforms</a> down for fourth straight session</p><p>* Indexes: Dow +1.06%, S&P 500 +0.84%, Nasdaq +1.28%</p><p>Feb 8 (Reuters) - Wall Street ended sharply higher on Tuesday, lifted by Apple and Microsoft, while a jump in Treasury yields elevated bank stocks ahead of a key inflation reading this week.</p><p>The benchmark S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq reversed early losses and gained in the latter part of the session, with Amazon.com Inc gaining 2.2%, and Apple and Microsoft both rising over 1%.</p><p>The S&P 500 banking index rallied 1.9% after the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield hit its highest level since November 2019 on mounting expectations the U.S. Federal Reserve will start tightening monetary policy.</p><p>Shares of Bank of America Corp, JPMorgan Chase & Co and Wells Fargo all gained over 1%.</p><p>The S&P 500 energy sector index sank 2.1% as investors worried the resumption of indirect talks between the United States and Iran could revive an international nuclear agreement and allow more oil exports from the OPEC producer.</p><p>Upbeat comments from French President Emmanuel Macron about his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin over the Ukraine crisis also dented oil prices and reduced anxiety on Wall Street, said Scott Ladner, chief investment officer at Charlotte-based wealth management firm Horizon Investments.</p><p>"Today's gain is probably due to some of the Macron headlines, but it's also just recognition of the fact that the economy is in pretty good shape, and we probably overdid it a little to the downside," Ladner said.</p><p>With Tuesday's rise, the S&P 500 remains down about 5% so far this year, while the Nasdaq has lost about 9%.</p><p>U.S. consumer prices data, set to be released on Thursday, is forecast at a four-decade high of 7.3%.

It comes just two days before the release of the November jobs report, which will offer the clearest indication yet of whether the Fedâs steps to tighten monetary policy so far have begun to weaken the labor market.</p><p>It also comes less than two weeks before the release of Novemberâs consumer price data, which will show whether the central bank is continuing to make progress in its quest to return the economy to price stability.</p><p>But the Fed is likely to proceed with its carefully laid out path forward and vote for a half-point rate hike in December regardless of what either of the forthcoming data reports show, economists say. The bigger question will be what comes after that, and Powellâs remarks could offer some insight as to how the central bank is thinking about the months ahead.</p><p>Most investors and economists expect the Fed will downshift once again at its first meeting of 2023 in early February to a quarter-point hike, and then pause rates for some time as it waits to see how the economy reacts. But those decisions will depend largely on whether the data show inflation slowing and the labor market holding relatively steady, as the Fed wants to see.</p><p>âThe key for the Fed now will be to strike a delicate balance. It needs to go slow enough so as to not âbreak something,ââ Richard de Chazal, a macro analyst with William Blair, wrote on Tuesday. âBut the Fed also still needs to increase rates at a fast enough pace to ensure longer-term inflationary expectations remain well anchored.â</p><p>Powellâs remarks are set to begin at 1:30 p.m.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

A <b>Bank of America</b>/Merrill Lynch report that examined the performance of growth stocks and value stocks over 90 years (1926-2015) found that growth stocks outperformed during recessions and periods of economic weakness.</p><p>The following three growth stocks are at least 64% below their all-time highs and are now begging to be bought at reduced levels.</p><h2>Sea Limited: Down 78% from its all-time high</h2><p>The first growth stock that's taken an absolute beating as the Nasdaq has swooned is Singapore-based conglomerate <b>Sea Limited</b>. Shares of Sea skyrocketed tenfold in just an 18-month period during the pandemic, but have gone on to lose 78% of their value since peaking in October.</p><p>Sea is facing a number of pressing questions as global inflation heats up and COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc on supply chains, especially in Asian markets. In particular, Wall Street had become accustomed to jaw-dropping sales growth over the past couple of years. Looking ahead, Sea's revenue growth is slated to slow a bit, with annual losses expected to continue for a few more years. When big market declines occur, valuation comes into focus, and companies with large annual losses, like Sea Limited, often take it on the chin.</p><p>But there's another side to this story that should excite patient growth investors. Specifically, Sea has three rapidly growing segments that can all become serious cash flow generators.</p><p>For the moment, the company's gaming division, known as Garena, is the only operating segment bringing in positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). Hit mobile game <i>Free Fire</i> helped lift the number of quarterly active users (QAUs) to 654 million as of the end of 2021. More importantly, 11.8% of these QAUs were paying to play Sea's games. The typical pay-to-play conversion ratio in mobile gaming is in the low single digits.</p><p>There's also excitement for SeaMoney, the company's digital financial services segment. Although it's still relatively new, nearly 46 million QAUs were using SeaMoney products and services, such as digital wallets, in the fourth quarter. This is an intriguing segment considering that Sea operates in a number of emerging regions where access to basic banking services can be limited.</p><p>Lastly, there's e-commerce platform Shopee, which has consistently been the most downloaded shopping app in Southeast Asia. Shopee has been picking up momentum in Brazil, too. During the fourth quarter, Shopee had $18.2 billion in gross merchandise value (GMV) traverse its network. That's more than the $10 billion in GMV recognized in all of 2018. If Sea can significantly improve e-commerce EBITDA into 2023, its share price could rebound in a big way.</p><h2>Green Thumb Industries: Down 64% from its all-time high</h2><p>A second growth stock that's been absolutely pulverized and is now begging to be bought is cannabis multi-state operator (MSO) <b>Green Thumb Industries</b>. Shares of Green Thumb have declined by 64% since hitting their intra-day high a little over a year ago.</p><p>During the first quarter of 2021, marijuana stocks were all the rage. A Democrat-led Congress, coupled with President Joe Biden taking office, made it appear likely that federal legalization, or at the very least cannabis banking reform, would become a reality. However, with COVID-19 and geopolitical issues dominating lawmakers' time, no reforms have been passed on Capitol Hill. As a result, pot stocks like Green Thumb have been taken to the woodshed.</p><p>But despite a lack of federal reforms, we've still witnessed three-quarters of all states legalize cannabis in some capacity. To add, 18 of these states have green-lit adult-use recreational consumption. The point is that individual state regulation is providing more than enough opportunity for well-funded MSOs to thrive.</p><p>Green Thumb opened its 77th operating dispensary last month and generated retail sales from 14 states in 2021. Although it does have a presence in high-dollar markets like California, the company has wisely chosen to enter a number of limited-license markets. These are states that purposely limit how many cannabis dispensary licenses are issued in total, as well as to a single business. It's a way of promoting competition and ensuring that companies like Green Thumb have a fair shot to build up their brand(s) and garner a following.</p><p>The one factor that really makes Green Thumb special is its product mix. Only around a third of the company's sales are derived from dried flower. The remainder comes from vape products, infused beverages, pre-rolls, edibles, and other derivatives. The key here is that derivatives sport higher price points <i>and</i> better margins. These higher margins have allowed Green Thumb to generate recurring profits while most other MSOs are still losing money.</p><p>Considering that Green Thumb Industries is expected to continue growing its sales by 20% to 25% annually, its forward-year price-to-earnings ratio of 24 makes it a bargain.</p><h2>Etsy: Down 70% from its all-time high</h2><p>A third and final growth stock that's been battered by the Nasdaq bear market decline is specialty online retail platform <b>Etsy</b>. The former pandemic superstar has shed 70% of its value since hitting an all-time intra-day high five months ago.</p><p>The biggest concerns for Etsy are historically high inflation and the growing prospect of a recession in the United States. The cost for virtually everything has soared, which threatens to reduce consumer spending. That would be bad news for Etsy, which relies on merchants to boost their ad spending over time.</p><p>On the other hand, trying to time inevitable recessions in the U.S. economy is a fool's errand. History has shown that most recessions only last a few months or a couple of quarters. By comparison, periods of economic expansion are measured in years. Buying rapidly growing and innovative e-commerce players during periods of weakness and holding for years is probably going to be a smart move.</p><p>Furthermore, Etsy brings a competitive advantage to the table that should allow it to stand out. Whereas most online retail platforms target volume, Etsy's merchants are usually smaller businesses that offer unique/customized products and services that enhance consumer engagement. There's not an online retail platform that offers engagement at scale quite like Etsy.</p><p>Something else to excite long-term investors is Etsy's success in converting casual shoppers into habitual buyers. A habitual buyer is defined as a shopper who makes at least six purchases over a trailing-12-month period, with the aggregate value of those purchases hitting at least $200. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the number of habitual buyers has grown by 224%! These habitual buyers are the company's key to extracting more ad revenue out of the merchants on its platform.</p><p>Even if the U.S. enters a recession -- U.S. first-quarter gross domestic product declined by 1.4% -- Etsy is well-positioned to deliver sustainable double-digit sales growth. Based on Wall Street's consensus profit forecast (which has proved fluid in recent weeks), a share of Etsy can be picked up for just 21 times forecast earnings in 2023. That's as inexpensive as this company has ever been.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Nasdaq Bear Market: 3 Growth Stocks Down 64% (or More) Just Begging to Be Bought</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nNasdaq Bear Market: 3 Growth Stocks Down 64% (or More) Just Begging to Be Bought\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-05-05 09:00 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/05/04/nasdaq-bear-market-3-growth-stocks-down-64-to-buy/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Whether you're a new or tenured investor, the stock market has sent a clear message over the past four months that corrections are an inevitable part of the investing cycle.Since the year began, the ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/05/04/nasdaq-bear-market-3-growth-stocks-down-64-to-buy/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"GTBIF":"Green Thumb Industries Inc.","ETSY":"Etsy, Inc.","SE":"Sea Ltd"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/05/04/nasdaq-bear-market-3-growth-stocks-down-64-to-buy/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2232025659","content_text":"Whether you're a new or tenured investor, the stock market has sent a clear message over the past four months that corrections are an inevitable part of the investing cycle.Since the year began, the benchmark S&P 500 and iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average entered correction territory with respective declines of at least 10%.

As has been the case for most of the past year, Buffett was active in the financial sector, mostly reducing Berkshire Hathaway's positions in banks. At the company's annual investor day earlier this month, Buffett provided some explanation for all the stock selling he's done in that sector.</p>\n<p>\"I like banks generally,\" he said, \"I just didn't like the proportion we had compared to the possible risk if we got the bad results that so far we haven't gotten.\"</p>\n<p>Let's review the three big changes Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway made to their bank holdings in the first quarter.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c2da7d6438277757a73f9e626ebc6fc2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>1. All but eliminating Wells Fargo</h2>\n<p>Everyone knew it was coming, but Buffett all but made it official last quarter, nearly eliminating his position in his onetime favorite bank, <b>Wells Fargo</b> (NYSE:WFC). Berkshire Hathaway sold 51.7 million shares, dropping its stake to a mere 675,000 shares valued at $26.3 million.</p>\n<p>This essentially ends what was an epic run for the Oracle of Omaha and Wells Fargo. Buffett first purchased shares in the large U.S. bank in 1989, and by 1994, he had acquired more than 13% of its outstanding shares. At the end of the third quarter of 2019, before the pandemic, Buffett's stake, which had a rough original cost basis of just below $9 billion, was worth close to $20 billion. And at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> point back in 2017, it was reportedly worth as much as $29 billion.</p>\n<p>But as the fallout of Wells Fargo's phony accounts scandal and other revelations about its consumer abuses continued to play out, Buffett began to lose faith in the institution and started trimming his position. It looks like Buffett ultimately ended up making much less on his Wells Fargo investment than he could have, considering he sold more than 323 million shares between the end of Q1 2020 and the end of Q1 2021. During that 12-month period, the bank's shares traded from a low of $21.45 to a high of $39.07. At the end of 2019, they traded north of $53.</p>\n<p>The stock closed at $45.73 on Thursday, and many investors still believe Wells Fargo is undervalued these days, trading at 135% tangible book value (equity minus intangible assets and goodwill). Bank valuations have shot up in recent months, and Wells Fargo in particular could see more tailwinds when the Federal Reserve lifts the $1.95 trillion asset cap that the bank has been operating under since 2018.</p>\n<h2>2. Dumping <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SYF\">Synchrony Financial</a></h2>\n<p>Last quarter, Berkshire Hathaway also eliminated its entire stake in the consumer finance credit card company <b>Synchrony Financial </b>(NYSE:SYF), selling its 21.1 million shares. Synchrony uses what it calls a \"partner-centric\" business model under which it teams up with leading retailers and digital brands that promote Synchrony's credit cards. Consumers can get deals on specific purchases by opening Synchrony credit cards, which are often branded under a retailer's name.</p>\n<p>While I wouldn't say I saw this move coming, it doesn't entirely surprise me. Over the last year, Buffett has become even more selective about which banks he wants to own.

As has been the case for most of the past year, Buffett was active in the financial sector, mostly reducing Berkshire Hathaway's positions in banks. At the company's annual investor day earlier this month, Buffett provided some explanation for all the stock selling he's done in that sector.\n\"I like banks generally,\" he said, \"I just didn't like the proportion we had compared to the possible risk if we got the bad results that so far we haven't gotten.\"\nLet's review the three big changes Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway made to their bank holdings in the first quarter.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. All but eliminating Wells Fargo\nEveryone knew it was coming, but Buffett all but made it official last quarter, nearly eliminating his position in his onetime favorite bank, Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC). Berkshire Hathaway sold 51.7 million shares, dropping its stake to a mere 675,000 shares valued at $26.3 million.\nThis essentially ends what was an epic run for the Oracle of Omaha and Wells Fargo. Buffett first purchased shares in the large U.S. bank in 1989, and by 1994, he had acquired more than 13% of its outstanding shares. At the end of the third quarter of 2019, before the pandemic, Buffett's stake, which had a rough original cost basis of just below $9 billion, was worth close to $20 billion. And at one point back in 2017, it was reportedly worth as much as $29 billion.\nBut as the fallout of Wells Fargo's phony accounts scandal and other revelations about its consumer abuses continued to play out, Buffett began to lose faith in the institution and started trimming his position. It looks like Buffett ultimately ended up making much less on his Wells Fargo investment than he could have, considering he sold more than 323 million shares between the end of Q1 2020 and the end of Q1 2021. During that 12-month period, the bank's shares traded from a low of $21.45 to a high of $39.07. At the end of 2019, they traded north of $53.\nThe stock closed at $45.73 on Thursday, and many investors still believe Wells Fargo is undervalued these days, trading at 135% tangible book value (equity minus intangible assets and goodwill). Bank valuations have shot up in recent months, and Wells Fargo in particular could see more tailwinds when the Federal Reserve lifts the $1.95 trillion asset cap that the bank has been operating under since 2018.\n2. Dumping Synchrony Financial\nLast quarter, Berkshire Hathaway also eliminated its entire stake in the consumer finance credit card company Synchrony Financial (NYSE:SYF), selling its 21.1 million shares. Synchrony uses what it calls a \"partner-centric\" business model under which it teams up with leading retailers and digital brands that promote Synchrony's credit cards. Consumers can get deals on specific purchases by opening Synchrony credit cards, which are often branded under a retailer's name.\nWhile I wouldn't say I saw this move coming, it doesn't entirely surprise me. Over the last year, Buffett has become even more selective about which banks he wants to own. He seems to be picking a winner or two in each banking industry subcategory -- for instance, he sold his stake in America's largest bank, JPMorgan Chase, and loaded up on America's second-largest bank, Bank of America.\nConsidering that Buffett already has a huge position in American Express, and loves the brand, that is likely going to be his pick for a credit-card-focused holding. Berkshire Hathaway likely made a good profit on that Synchrony investment, though, considering that the stock hit its highest level ever during Q1.\n3. Trimming U.S. Bancorp again\nBerkshire Hathaway also sold about 1.45 million shares of U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) in the first quarter -- but it still owns nearly 129.7 million shares. The Oracle of Omaha has sold small quantities of shares of the Minnesota-based regional bank a few times over the last year, and it's a bit unclear why. It does appear that he has made U.S. Bancorp his regional bank pick, though. He sold off his other regional bank holdings, including his stakes in PNC Financial Services Group and M&T Bank, in the fourth quarter of 2020. \nOne possible explanation relates to Buffett's well-known desire to keep his stakes in those banks below 10%, so he can avoid the additional reporting requirements that a higher ownership level would trigger. At the end of the first quarter, Buffett owned about 8.7% of U.S. Bancorp's outstanding shares. So his stock sale may have simply been a move to prepare for the bank's planned share repurchases, which should accelerate later this year. Last quarter's adjustment should maintain Berkshire Hathaway's stake at a level comfortably under the 10% threshold, even after U.S. Bancorp's total share count is reduced. \nOverall, I still feel confident that Buffett plans to stick with U.S. Bancorp, although I will continue to watch his moves in upcoming quarters to see if he further reduces his stake in it.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":48,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3577340349158062","authorId":"3577340349158062","name":"T2183coins","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/0d4358324c974c4c08fdc4be56560d4a","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"content":"Like and comment please","text":"Like and comment please","html":"Like and comment please"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":374024844,"gmtCreate":1619403486788,"gmtModify":1704723300648,"author":{"id":"3570885355172302","authorId":"3570885355172302","name":"Jstan","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment like","listText":"Comment like","text":"Comment like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":6,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/374024844","repostId":"1184404050","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1184404050","pubTimestamp":1619319329,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1184404050?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-25 10:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What to watch in the markets this week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1184404050","media":"CNBC","summary":"The last week of April will be extremely busy for markets with a third of the S&P 500 reporting earnings, a Federal Reserve meeting, and new spending and tax proposals from the White House.Big Tech is a highlight of the earnings calendar, with Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook and Alphabet all releasing results.The Fed is not expected to take any action, but economists expect it to defend its policy to let inflation run hot.There is some key data including first-quarter gross domestic product a","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSThe last week of April will be extremely busy for markets with a third of the S&P 500 reporting earnings, a Federal Reserve meeting, and new spending and tax proposals from the White House....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/23/taxes-and-inflation-will-be-key-themes-for-markets-in-the-week-ahead.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The president addresses a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening.Itâs a huge week for earnings with about a third of the S&P 500 reporting, including Big Tech names, such as Apple,Microsoft,Alphabet and Amazon.As many have already done, firms like Boeing, Ford,Caterpillar and McDonaldâs, are likely to detail cost pressures they are facing from rising materials and transportation costs and supply chain disruptions.At the same time, the Fed is expected to defend its policy of letting inflation run hot, while assuring markets it sees the pick-up in prices as only temporary. The central bank meets on Tuesday and Wednesday.The central bank takes the main stageâI think the Fed would like not to be a feature next week, but the Fed will be forced from the background because of concerns about inflation,â said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton.The central bank is not expected to make any policy moves, but Fed Chairman Jerome Powellâs press briefing following the meeting Wednesday will be closely watched.So far, the barrage of earnings news has been positive, with 86% of companies reporting earnings beats. Corporate profits are expected to be up about 33.9% for the first quarter, based on estimates and actual reports, according to Refinitiv. Revenues are about 9.9% higher.There is important inflation data Friday when the Fedâs preferred inflation gauge is reported.The personal consumption expenditure report is expected to show a 1.8% rise in core inflation, still below the Fedâs target of 2%. Other data releases include the first-quarter gross domestic product on Thursday, which is expected to have grown by 6.5%, according to Dow Jones.âI think the Fed has no urgency to shift monetary policy at this point,â said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO. âThe Fed needs to acknowledge that the data is improving. We had a strong first quarter.ââThe Fed needs to acknowledge that but at the same time theyâre keeping extremely accommodative policy in place, so theyâll have to make a note to the fact that the easy policy is warranted,â he said.Lyngen said the Fed will likely point to continued concerns about the pandemic globally as a potential risk to the economic recovery.Powell is also expected to once more explain that the Fed will let inflation rise above its 2% target for a period of time before it raises rates so that the economy can have more time to heal. âItâs going to be a challenge for the Fed,â said Swonk.The base effects for the next several months will make inflation appear to have jumped sharply because of the comparison to a weak period last year. The consumer price index for April could be above 3%, compared to 2.6% last month, Swonk added.âThe Fed is trying to let a lot more people get out onto the dance floor before it calls âlast call,ââ she said. âReally what Powell has been saying since day one is if we take care of people on the margins and bring them back into the labor force, the rest will take care of itself.âStocks were slightly lower in the past week, and Treasury yields held at lower levels. The 10-year yield,which moves opposite price, was at 1.55% Friday.The S&P 500was down 0.1%, ending the week at 4,180, while Nasdaq Composite was down nearly 0.3% at 14,016. The Dow was off just shy of 0.5% at 34,043.Tax hike prospectsStocks were hit hard on Thursday when after a news report said that Biden is expected to propose a capital gains tax rate of 39.6% for people earning more than $1 million a year.Combined with the 3.8% net investment income tax, the new levy would more than double the long term capital gains rate of 20% or the richest Americans.Strategists said Biden is expected to propose raising the income tax rate for those earning more than $400,000.âI think a lot of people are starting to price in the risk there going to be a significant increase in both corporate and capital gains taxes,â said Lyngen.So far, companies have not provided much in the way of commentary on the proposed hike in corporate taxes to 28% from 21% but they have been talking about other costs.David Bianco, chief investment strategist for the Americas at DWS, said he expects larger companies will do better dealing with supply chain constraints than smaller ones. Big Tech is also likely to fare better during the semiconductor shortage than auto makers, which have already announced production shutdowns, he said.âNext week is tech week. I think weâre going to get down on our knees and just be in awe of their business models and their ability to grow at a behemoth scale,â Bianco said.He said heâs not in favor of Wall Streetâs popular trade into cyclicals and out of growth. He still favors growth.âWeâre overweight equities really because weâre concerned about rising interest rates,â Bianco said. âIâm not bullish in that I expect the market to rise that much from here.ââWe stuck with growth and dug deeper into bond substitutes, utilities, staples, real estate,â he said, adding he is underweight industrials, energy and materials. âEnergy is doomed. Itâs being nationalized via regulation.

Yet, China's leading NEV makers have made robust progress in 2022.</p><p>For instance, BYD delivered more than 230K of NEV in November, notching another monthly record, up nearly 153% YoY. Notably, BYD has continued to post consistent MoM gains since April 2022, corroborating the resilience of its highly vertically-integrated operating model.</p><p>Moreover, Volkswagen has continued to invest heavily in its prized Chinese market.

XPEV investors who decide to cut exposure can consider rotating some exposure to NIO to take them toward the next stage of the competition in China's increasingly competitive EV market.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":33,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9090456646,"gmtCreate":1643249262011,"gmtModify":1676533790462,"author":{"id":"3570885355172302","authorId":"3570885355172302","name":"Jstan","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Lije pls","listText":"Lije pls","text":"Lije pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9090456646","repostId":"2206589977","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2206589977","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1643238051,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2206589977?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-01-27 07:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street Gains Evaporate, S&P 500 Ends Lower on Fed Tightening Timeline","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2206589977","media":"Reuters","summary":"* Tesla gyrates in after-market trading after results* Markets gyrate in closing minutes after Powel","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>* Tesla gyrates in after-market trading after results</p><p>* Markets gyrate in closing minutes after Powell Q&A</p><p>* Mattel up on winning back Disney Princess license from Hasbro</p><p>* Indexes: Dow off 0.38%, S&P down 0.15%, Nasdaq up 0.02%</p><p>NEW YORK, Jan 26 (Reuters) - The S&P 500 ended lower on Wednesday, taking an abrupt nosedive that reversed earlier solid gains after the U.S. Federal Reserve released its statement at the conclusion of its two-day policy meeting.</p><p>All three major U.S. stock indexes gyrated wildly in the final minutes of a session that ended with the Dow joining the S&P in negative territory and the Nasdaq eking out a nominal gain.</p><p>The indexes enjoyed a brief surge after the Federal Open Markets Committee left key interest rates near zero.

I am seated in the back, next to X, the billionaireâs two-and-a-half-year-old son. Itâs around 7pm in Austin, and X is, as one would expect, cranky.</p><p>We had set off to Fonda San Miguel, Muskâs favourite Mexican restaurant, after a visit with an FT colleague to the Tesla Gigafactory on the banks of the Colorado river.</p><p>In this massive site Musk is producing the Y electric SUVs, the latest model in the Tesla collection that has catapulted him to the top of the worldâs rich list (net worth: $232bn). Musk, with X perched on his shoulders, had proudly shown off the factory floor as he periodically raged against sluggish investment in lithium refining, which is desperately needed to ease battery shortages around the world.</p><p>Muskâs security chief, the designated driver, comes to the rescue with a milk bottle that soothes X to sleep by the time we reach the restaurant.</p><p>For the next couple of hours, I am better acquainted with the curious character of Elon Musk, the engineer and the visionary, the billionaire and the disrupter, the agitator and the troublemaker.</p><p>Defying armies of sceptics, including myself (full disclosure: until my family rebelled against me and bought a Tesla Model 3 and I started driving it, I was convinced the company would go bankrupt), Musk has built Tesla into a more than $700bn market cap business and forced the car industry to speed up the shift to electric vehicles. Not prone to modesty, Musk estimates he may have accelerated the âadvent of sustainable energyâ by â10, maybe even 20 yearsâ.</p><p>In just over a decade, he has also transformed the commercial space industry and the economics of space, racing ahead of rivals in building a reusable rocket that can carry passengers. Nasa has picked his Starship to land astronauts on the moon over the next few years. It is now worth around $125bn. One day, or so Musk is convinced, it will be used to colonise Mars.</p><p>Musk is a maverick too, a serial tweeter to his more than 100mn followers who flouts convention, revels in outrageous outbursts, fights with regulators and staff, and taunts competitors. He has regular run-ins with the Securities and Exchange Commission: he was fined and forced to give up his chairmanship of Tesla over 2018 tweets in which he claimed to have secured funding to take Tesla private, statements that a US judge later described as having been made ârecklesslyâ.</p><p>A recent lawsuit accuses Musk of running a pyramid scheme to prop up dogecoin, a cryptocurrency that is, literally, based on a joke â an internet meme of a Japanese dog. Dogecoin has predictably crashed but Muskâs enthusiasm has not: he twins his black jeans with a black T-shirt featuring an image of the dog.</p><p>Why does a serious guy with serious ideas indulge in silly Twitter games that could also cost his followers dearly? âArenât you entertained?â Musk roars with laughter. âI play the fool on Twitter and often shoot myself in the foot and cause myself all sorts of troubleâ.â.â. I donât know, I find it vaguely therapeutic to express myself on Twitter. Itâs a way to get messages out to the public.â</p><p>It is fair to say that Musk is obsessed with Twitter, so much so that heâs been embroiled in an epic on/off buyout of the platform that has captivated Wall Street and the tech industry for months. Twitter sued Musk (and he sued back) after he backed out of a $44bn acquisition deal he made in April, accusing the social media company of under-reporting the number of bots on the platform. This week, and just before his scheduled deposition, Musk changed his mind. He now says he wants to buy Twitter again.</p><p>I had asked over dinner whether his original offer had been a bad joke. âTwitter is certainly an invitation to increase your pain level,â he says. âI guess I must be a masochistâ.â.â.ââ But he makes no secret that his interest in the company has never been primarily financial: âIâm not doing Twitter for the money. Itâs not like Iâm trying to buy some yacht and I canât afford it. I donât own any boats. But I think itâs important that people have a maximally trusted and inclusive means of exchanging ideas and that it should be as trusted and transparent as possible.â The alternative, he says, is a splintering of debate into different social-media bubbles, as evidenced by Donald Trumpâs Truth Social network. âIt [Truth Social] is essentially a rightwing echo chamber. It might as well be called Trumpet.â</p><p>Musk doesnât eat lunch, possibly because an unflattering picture in a swimsuit taken on a yacht in Mykonos went viral over the summer. Since then, he has been on a diet.</p><p>At Fonda San Miguel, a teeming Mexican restaurant that promises a regional culinary experience, he is a familiar dinner customer. He orders a frozen margarita (he calls it a slushy with alcohol) and I order a beer. Musk looks around. âThereâs a good buzz in this restaurant,â he says approvingly, and suggests to the waiter that they serve us some of their specialities. Musk is telling me that companies are like children when the first plates land on the table: the lamb chops in a pepper sauce, and shrimp with cheese and jalapeños. The food is âepicâ, Musk gasps.</p><blockquote>Itâs important that people die. How long would you have liked Stalin to live?</blockquote><p>Musk is capricious, but he sees himself as a problem solver, and the problem is everything from the potential end of life on Earth to climate change and even traffic (his Boring company is building tunnels). Recently, he has dreamt up his own (rather unhelpful) peace plan for ending Russiaâs war in Ukraine. Born and raised in South Africa in a well-to-do family, he landed in California after studying economics and physics in Canada and Pennsylvania. One of his first big ideas was well ahead of its time: he wanted to revolutionise banking. He merged an online payments business he co-founded with another company in what became PayPal. When PayPal was sold to eBay, he used the money to start SpaceX and invest in Tesla.</p><p>Ageing strikes me as the only threat to humans that he is not attempting to resolve, though another company he founded, Neuralink, is designing chips that will be implanted in the brain to restore sensory and motor function. Musk is very exercised about population decline, and claims to be doing his part to populate Earth by having 10 children (from various partners), including, it was recently reported, twins with an executive at Neuralink.</p><p>He scoffs when I inquire if there are other children he has fathered â âIâm pretty sure there are no other babies loomingâ â and he dismisses the wild rumours that he has bought a fertility clinic to support his production of babies. Some friends, he reveals, have indeed suggested he should have 500 kids, but that would be a âbit weirdâ. Referring to himself, aged 51, as an âautumn chickenâ, he says he may have more children, but only to the extent that he can be a good father to them. Nonetheless, he predicts that âthe current trend for most countries is that civilisation will not die with a bang, it will die with a whimper in adult diapersâ. But he says ageing should not be solved. âItâs important that people die. How long would you have liked Stalin to live?â That is a good point.</p><p>Muskâs bigger worry is the preservation of life beyond Earth. His solution is to populate Mars. âSomething will happen to Earth eventually, itâs just a question of time. Eventually the sun will expand and destroy all life on Earth, so we do need to move at some point, or at least be a multi-planet species,â he says. âYou have to ask the question: do we want to be a space-flying civilisation and a multi-planet species or not?â Iâm not sure what I think but Musk is emphatic. âItâs a question of what percentage of resources should we devote to such an endeavour? I think if you say 1 per cent of resources, thatâs probably a reasonable amount.â</p><p>Would Musk himself join the pioneering colony on Mars? âEspecially if Iâm getting old, Iâll do it. Why not?â he says. But how useful would he be to Mars if heâs too old? âI think thereâs some non-trivial chance of dying, so Iâd prefer to take that chance when Iâm a bit older, and see my kids grow up. Rather than right now, where little X is only two-and-a-half. I think heâd miss me.â</p><p>The table is too small for the large plates we are sharing as a second course: a slow-cooked lamb that melts in the mouth, chillies in a walnut-based sauce and shrimp in creamy chipotle sauce. Musk is right: it is the best Mexican food Iâve ever had.</p><p>We turn to his views on government and politics and the Twitter Musk appears, the more emotional, unrestrained persona that comes across in his frenetic posts. He is lauding billionaires as the most efficient stewards of capital, best placed to decide on the allocation of social benefits. âIf the alternative steward of capital is the government, that is actually not going to be to the benefit of the people,â says Musk.</p><p>He is railing against Joe Biden for being in thrall to the unions but also daring to snub him. âHe [Biden] had an electric vehicle summit at the White House and deliberately didnât invite Tesla last year. Then to follow it up, to add insult to injury, at a big event he said that GM was leading the electric car revolution, in the same quarter that GM shipped 26 electric cars and we shipped 300,000. Does that seem fair to you?â</p><p>Until recently Musk voted Democrat, although he is now more on the Republican side, or perhaps floating somewhere in between. He says he is considering setting up âthe Super Moderate Super Pacâ to support candidates with moderate views. He makes a point of telling me that he doesnât hate Trump, even if he has clashed with him, and insists Biden is simply too old to run for a second term in office. âYou donât want to be too far from the average age of the population because itâs going to be very difficult to stay in touchâ.â.â.âMaybe one generation away from the average age is OK, but two generations? At the point where youâve got great-grandchildren, I donât know, how in touch with the people are you? Is it even possible to be?â</p><blockquote>Iâm subject to literally a million laws and regulations and I obey almost 99.99 per cent of them</blockquote><p>Musk has a dystopian view of the leftâs influence on America, which helps explain his wild pursuit of Twitter to liberate free speech. He blames the fact that his teenage daughter no longer wants to be associated with him on the supposed takeover of elite schools and universities by neo-Marxists. âItâs full-on communismâ.â.â.âand a general sentiment that if youâre rich, youâre evil,â says Musk. âIt [the relationship] may change, but I have very good relationships with all the others [children]. Canât win them all.â</p><p>He also has a dim view of regulators, whom he sees as bureaucrats justifying their jobs by going after high-profile targets like him. He seems to be in a constant feud with one regulator or another, whether itâs over his own pronouncements or over the treatment of staff. Musk is unabashed about driving his employees hard. He was bullied as a child (and has also spoken of emotional abuse by his father) but is now sometimes accused of bullying others. He shoots back: if anyone is unhappy working for him, they should work elsewhere because âtheyâre not chained to the company, itâs voluntaryâ.</p><p>Does he ever think heâs above the law? Thatâs utter nonsense, he tells me: âIâm subject to literally a million laws and regulations and I obey almost 99.99 per cent of them. Itâs only when I think the law is contrary to the interest of the people that I have an issue.â I wonder if he means the interest of Elon Musk.</p><p>There are some topics that amuse Musk, eliciting prolonged laughter, and other questions that are met with deliberate silence before he speaks. The longest silence follows my question about China and the risk to Teslaâs Shanghai factory, which produces between 30 per cent and 50 per cent of Teslaâs total production. Musk has been an admirer of as well as an investor in China. But he is not immune to the gathering US-China tensions or the risk of a Chinese takeover of Taiwan. Musk says Beijing has made clear its disapproval of his recent rollout of Starlink, SpaceXâs satellite communications system, in Ukraine to help the military circumvent Russiaâs cut-off of the internet. He says Beijing sought assurances that he would not sell Starlink in China. Musk reckons that conflict over Taiwan is inevitable but he is quick to point out that he wonât be alone in suffering the consequences. Tesla will be caught up in any conflict, he says, though, curiously, he seems to assume that the Shanghai factory will still be able to supply to customers in China, but not anywhere else. âApple would be in very deep trouble, thatâs for sureâ.â.â.ââ he adds, not to mention the global economy, which he estimates, with precision, will take a 30 per cent hit.</p><p>It may be Muskâs realisation that business decisions can no longer be made without regard to security and geopolitics â or perhaps itâs simply an arrogant belief that he has all the answers â that now leads him to offer his own solutions to the worldâs most complex geopolitical problems. âMy recommendationâ.â.â.âwould be to figure out a special administrative zone for Taiwan that is reasonably palatable, probably wonât make everyone happy. And itâs possible, and I think probably, in fact, that they could have an arrangement thatâs more lenient than Hong Kong.â I doubt his proposal will be taken up.</p><p>On Ukraine too, he has advocated a compromise with Russia that has earned him ridicule in Kyiv, where Starlink had made him a hero until now. He launched his peace plan in a poll on Twitter and suggested that Crimea, which Russia invaded in 2014 and later annexed, should simply be given away to Russia. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian president, shot back with his own Twitter poll: which Elon Musk do you like more, he asked, the one who supports Ukraine or the one who supports Russia?</p><p>We are over an hour into dinner and Musk is in a hurry, having scheduled a call with his SpaceX team. We skip dessert and I ask for the bill, only to find out itâs already been settled by Muskâs security chief. Musk ignores my protestations that he is flouting Lunch with the FT convention: âYouâre indebted to me for life,â he jokes. We head back to the car that is taking him to a private airport to board his jet and he suggests we continue our conversation on the way.</p><p>I find X exactly where I left him, in his car seat, but heâs more cheerful after his nap. He is cooing as he watches videos of rockets on his iPad while his dad discusses rockets with his team. Suddenly, I notice that the car is driving itself, as if to dispel the doubts I had expressed about Teslaâs self-driving prospects. âIt can get to the airport without intervention,â says Musk.

I am seated in the back, next to X, the billionaireâs two-and-a-half-year-old son. Itâs around 7pm in Austin, and X is, as one would expect, cranky.We had set off to Fonda San Miguel, Muskâs favourite Mexican restaurant, after a visit with an FT colleague to the Tesla Gigafactory on the banks of the Colorado river.In this massive site Musk is producing the Y electric SUVs, the latest model in the Tesla collection that has catapulted him to the top of the worldâs rich list (net worth: $232bn). Musk, with X perched on his shoulders, had proudly shown off the factory floor as he periodically raged against sluggish investment in lithium refining, which is desperately needed to ease battery shortages around the world.Muskâs security chief, the designated driver, comes to the rescue with a milk bottle that soothes X to sleep by the time we reach the restaurant.For the next couple of hours, I am better acquainted with the curious character of Elon Musk, the engineer and the visionary, the billionaire and the disrupter, the agitator and the troublemaker.Defying armies of sceptics, including myself (full disclosure: until my family rebelled against me and bought a Tesla Model 3 and I started driving it, I was convinced the company would go bankrupt), Musk has built Tesla into a more than $700bn market cap business and forced the car industry to speed up the shift to electric vehicles. Not prone to modesty, Musk estimates he may have accelerated the âadvent of sustainable energyâ by â10, maybe even 20 yearsâ.In just over a decade, he has also transformed the commercial space industry and the economics of space, racing ahead of rivals in building a reusable rocket that can carry passengers. Nasa has picked his Starship to land astronauts on the moon over the next few years. It is now worth around $125bn. One day, or so Musk is convinced, it will be used to colonise Mars.Musk is a maverick too, a serial tweeter to his more than 100mn followers who flouts convention, revels in outrageous outbursts, fights with regulators and staff, and taunts competitors. He has regular run-ins with the Securities and Exchange Commission: he was fined and forced to give up his chairmanship of Tesla over 2018 tweets in which he claimed to have secured funding to take Tesla private, statements that a US judge later described as having been made ârecklesslyâ.A recent lawsuit accuses Musk of running a pyramid scheme to prop up dogecoin, a cryptocurrency that is, literally, based on a joke â an internet meme of a Japanese dog. Dogecoin has predictably crashed but Muskâs enthusiasm has not: he twins his black jeans with a black T-shirt featuring an image of the dog.Why does a serious guy with serious ideas indulge in silly Twitter games that could also cost his followers dearly? âArenât you entertained?â Musk roars with laughter. âI play the fool on Twitter and often shoot myself in the foot and cause myself all sorts of troubleâ.â.â. I donât know, I find it vaguely therapeutic to express myself on Twitter. Itâs a way to get messages out to the public.âIt is fair to say that Musk is obsessed with Twitter, so much so that heâs been embroiled in an epic on/off buyout of the platform that has captivated Wall Street and the tech industry for months. Twitter sued Musk (and he sued back) after he backed out of a $44bn acquisition deal he made in April, accusing the social media company of under-reporting the number of bots on the platform. This week, and just before his scheduled deposition, Musk changed his mind. He now says he wants to buy Twitter again.I had asked over dinner whether his original offer had been a bad joke. âTwitter is certainly an invitation to increase your pain level,â he says. âI guess I must be a masochistâ.â.â.ââ But he makes no secret that his interest in the company has never been primarily financial: âIâm not doing Twitter for the money. Itâs not like Iâm trying to buy some yacht and I canât afford it. I donât own any boats. But I think itâs important that people have a maximally trusted and inclusive means of exchanging ideas and that it should be as trusted and transparent as possible.â The alternative, he says, is a splintering of debate into different social-media bubbles, as evidenced by Donald Trumpâs Truth Social network. âIt [Truth Social] is essentially a rightwing echo chamber. It might as well be called Trumpet.âMusk doesnât eat lunch, possibly because an unflattering picture in a swimsuit taken on a yacht in Mykonos went viral over the summer. Since then, he has been on a diet.At Fonda San Miguel, a teeming Mexican restaurant that promises a regional culinary experience, he is a familiar dinner customer. He orders a frozen margarita (he calls it a slushy with alcohol) and I order a beer. Musk looks around. âThereâs a good buzz in this restaurant,â he says approvingly, and suggests to the waiter that they serve us some of their specialities. Musk is telling me that companies are like children when the first plates land on the table: the lamb chops in a pepper sauce, and shrimp with cheese and jalapeños. The food is âepicâ, Musk gasps.Itâs important that people die. How long would you have liked Stalin to live?Musk is capricious, but he sees himself as a problem solver, and the problem is everything from the potential end of life on Earth to climate change and even traffic (his Boring company is building tunnels). Recently, he has dreamt up his own (rather unhelpful) peace plan for ending Russiaâs war in Ukraine. Born and raised in South Africa in a well-to-do family, he landed in California after studying economics and physics in Canada and Pennsylvania. One of his first big ideas was well ahead of its time: he wanted to revolutionise banking. He merged an online payments business he co-founded with another company in what became PayPal. When PayPal was sold to eBay, he used the money to start SpaceX and invest in Tesla.Ageing strikes me as the only threat to humans that he is not attempting to resolve, though another company he founded, Neuralink, is designing chips that will be implanted in the brain to restore sensory and motor function. Musk is very exercised about population decline, and claims to be doing his part to populate Earth by having 10 children (from various partners), including, it was recently reported, twins with an executive at Neuralink.He scoffs when I inquire if there are other children he has fathered â âIâm pretty sure there are no other babies loomingâ â and he dismisses the wild rumours that he has bought a fertility clinic to support his production of babies. Some friends, he reveals, have indeed suggested he should have 500 kids, but that would be a âbit weirdâ. Referring to himself, aged 51, as an âautumn chickenâ, he says he may have more children, but only to the extent that he can be a good father to them. Nonetheless, he predicts that âthe current trend for most countries is that civilisation will not die with a bang, it will die with a whimper in adult diapersâ. But he says ageing should not be solved. âItâs important that people die. How long would you have liked Stalin to live?â That is a good point.Muskâs bigger worry is the preservation of life beyond Earth. His solution is to populate Mars. âSomething will happen to Earth eventually, itâs just a question of time. Eventually the sun will expand and destroy all life on Earth, so we do need to move at some point, or at least be a multi-planet species,â he says. âYou have to ask the question: do we want to be a space-flying civilisation and a multi-planet species or not?â Iâm not sure what I think but Musk is emphatic. âItâs a question of what percentage of resources should we devote to such an endeavour? I think if you say 1 per cent of resources, thatâs probably a reasonable amount.âWould Musk himself join the pioneering colony on Mars? âEspecially if Iâm getting old, Iâll do it. Why not?â he says. But how useful would he be to Mars if heâs too old? âI think thereâs some non-trivial chance of dying, so Iâd prefer to take that chance when Iâm a bit older, and see my kids grow up. Rather than right now, where little X is only two-and-a-half. I think heâd miss me.âThe table is too small for the large plates we are sharing as a second course: a slow-cooked lamb that melts in the mouth, chillies in a walnut-based sauce and shrimp in creamy chipotle sauce. Musk is right: it is the best Mexican food Iâve ever had.We turn to his views on government and politics and the Twitter Musk appears, the more emotional, unrestrained persona that comes across in his frenetic posts. He is lauding billionaires as the most efficient stewards of capital, best placed to decide on the allocation of social benefits. âIf the alternative steward of capital is the government, that is actually not going to be to the benefit of the people,â says Musk.He is railing against Joe Biden for being in thrall to the unions but also daring to snub him. âHe [Biden] had an electric vehicle summit at the White House and deliberately didnât invite Tesla last year. Then to follow it up, to add insult to injury, at a big event he said that GM was leading the electric car revolution, in the same quarter that GM shipped 26 electric cars and we shipped 300,000. Does that seem fair to you?âUntil recently Musk voted Democrat, although he is now more on the Republican side, or perhaps floating somewhere in between. He says he is considering setting up âthe Super Moderate Super Pacâ to support candidates with moderate views. He makes a point of telling me that he doesnât hate Trump, even if he has clashed with him, and insists Biden is simply too old to run for a second term in office. âYou donât want to be too far from the average age of the population because itâs going to be very difficult to stay in touchâ.â.â.âMaybe one generation away from the average age is OK, but two generations? At the point where youâve got great-grandchildren, I donât know, how in touch with the people are you? Is it even possible to be?âIâm subject to literally a million laws and regulations and I obey almost 99.99 per cent of themMusk has a dystopian view of the leftâs influence on America, which helps explain his wild pursuit of Twitter to liberate free speech. He blames the fact that his teenage daughter no longer wants to be associated with him on the supposed takeover of elite schools and universities by neo-Marxists. âItâs full-on communismâ.â.â.âand a general sentiment that if youâre rich, youâre evil,â says Musk. âIt [the relationship] may change, but I have very good relationships with all the others [children]. Canât win them all.âHe also has a dim view of regulators, whom he sees as bureaucrats justifying their jobs by going after high-profile targets like him. He seems to be in a constant feud with one regulator or another, whether itâs over his own pronouncements or over the treatment of staff. Musk is unabashed about driving his employees hard. He was bullied as a child (and has also spoken of emotional abuse by his father) but is now sometimes accused of bullying others. He shoots back: if anyone is unhappy working for him, they should work elsewhere because âtheyâre not chained to the company, itâs voluntaryâ.Does he ever think heâs above the law? Thatâs utter nonsense, he tells me: âIâm subject to literally a million laws and regulations and I obey almost 99.99 per cent of them. Itâs only when I think the law is contrary to the interest of the people that I have an issue.â I wonder if he means the interest of Elon Musk.There are some topics that amuse Musk, eliciting prolonged laughter, and other questions that are met with deliberate silence before he speaks. The longest silence follows my question about China and the risk to Teslaâs Shanghai factory, which produces between 30 per cent and 50 per cent of Teslaâs total production. Musk has been an admirer of as well as an investor in China. But he is not immune to the gathering US-China tensions or the risk of a Chinese takeover of Taiwan. Musk says Beijing has made clear its disapproval of his recent rollout of Starlink, SpaceXâs satellite communications system, in Ukraine to help the military circumvent Russiaâs cut-off of the internet. He says Beijing sought assurances that he would not sell Starlink in China. Musk reckons that conflict over Taiwan is inevitable but he is quick to point out that he wonât be alone in suffering the consequences. Tesla will be caught up in any conflict, he says, though, curiously, he seems to assume that the Shanghai factory will still be able to supply to customers in China, but not anywhere else. âApple would be in very deep trouble, thatâs for sureâ.â.â.ââ he adds, not to mention the global economy, which he estimates, with precision, will take a 30 per cent hit.It may be Muskâs realisation that business decisions can no longer be made without regard to security and geopolitics â or perhaps itâs simply an arrogant belief that he has all the answers â that now leads him to offer his own solutions to the worldâs most complex geopolitical problems. âMy recommendationâ.â.â.âwould be to figure out a special administrative zone for Taiwan that is reasonably palatable, probably wonât make everyone happy. And itâs possible, and I think probably, in fact, that they could have an arrangement thatâs more lenient than Hong Kong.â I doubt his proposal will be taken up.On Ukraine too, he has advocated a compromise with Russia that has earned him ridicule in Kyiv, where Starlink had made him a hero until now. He launched his peace plan in a poll on Twitter and suggested that Crimea, which Russia invaded in 2014 and later annexed, should simply be given away to Russia. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian president, shot back with his own Twitter poll: which Elon Musk do you like more, he asked, the one who supports Ukraine or the one who supports Russia?We are over an hour into dinner and Musk is in a hurry, having scheduled a call with his SpaceX team. We skip dessert and I ask for the bill, only to find out itâs already been settled by Muskâs security chief. Musk ignores my protestations that he is flouting Lunch with the FT convention: âYouâre indebted to me for life,â he jokes. We head back to the car that is taking him to a private airport to board his jet and he suggests we continue our conversation on the way.I find X exactly where I left him, in his car seat, but heâs more cheerful after his nap. He is cooing as he watches videos of rockets on his iPad while his dad discusses rockets with his team. Suddenly, I notice that the car is driving itself, as if to dispel the doubts I had expressed about Teslaâs self-driving prospects. âIt can get to the airport without intervention,â says Musk. Alarmed, I put my seatbelt on. Musk could be a magician, but he could also be wrong.MenuFonda San Miguel2330 W N Loop Blvd, Austin, Texas 78756House frozen margarita $10Modelo Especial beer $6House rocks margarita $10Spicy sauce $0.50Angels on horseback (shrimp with cheese) $18.95Cordero lamb chops $24.95Mixiote slow-cooked lamb $38.95Chile en nogada (chillies in a walnut sauce) $38.95Camarones crema chipotle (shrimp in a spicy chipotle sauce) $34.95Total inc tax $198.37","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":35,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9036556768,"gmtCreate":1647149179154,"gmtModify":1676534199180,"author":{"id":"3570885355172302","authorId":"3570885355172302","name":"Jstan","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9036556768","repostId":"1191877390","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1191877390","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1646809389,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1191877390?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-03-09 15:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. Daylight Saving Time Begins on Sunday, March 13, 2022","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1191877390","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"U.S. daylight saving time begins on Sunday, March13, 2022. at 2:00 a.m. The clocks will be moved for","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>U.S. daylight saving time begins on Sunday, March13, 2022. at 2:00 a.m. The clocks will be moved forward from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.</p><p>At that time, the regular trading period of the US stock market will become 9:30 p.m. to 4:00 a.mïŒBeijing Time/SGTïŒand 00:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m (AEDT)</p><p>Daylight saving time will end on Nov. 6 this year.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 179.35 points to 34,756.39. The Nasdaq Composite outperformed with a nearly 1.5% rally to 13,814.49.\nThe major averages all registered modest gains for the week. The blue-chip Dow and the S&P 500 advanced about 0.7% and 0.6%, respectively, on the week for their second straight positive week. The tech-heavy Nasdaq gained just shy of 0.5% this week for its third winning week in a row.\nThe U.S. economy added 559,000 jobs in May, the Labor Department said on Friday. The number came in slightly lower than an estimate of 671,000 from economists surveyed by Dow Jones, but still showed a healthy rebound in the labor market. Itâs an improvement from the upwardly revised 278,000 payrolls added in April.\nThe unemployment rate fell to 5.8% from 6.1%, which was better than the estimate of 5.9%. Many believe the jobs report, while solid, is not strong enough to trigger the Federal Reserve to dial back its bond buying program.\nThe jobs number is âgoldilocks for risk,â said John Briggs, global head of strategy at NatWest Markets. Itâs ânot too hot to bring in the Fed and not too cold to worry about the economy.â\nThe 10-year Treasury yield dipped slightly following the jobs report. Bond yields had jumped higher in recent months amid rising inflation expectations.\nâWhile the job gains were somewhat modest relative to expectations, the good news is the figure rebounded from last monthâs disappointing miss,â said Charlie Ripley, vice president of portfolio management at Allianz Investment Management. âOverall, todayâs report does provide progress in the right direction.â\nMeme stocks continued their wild prices swings on Friday, but this time to the downside.

The dishwasher is full. Towels are piled in the laundry room. Bat streamers from a Halloween party are still hanging from a doorway. Two boxes of Legos sit on the floor of one bedroom. And then there are the shoesâdozens of sneakers and heels piled in the foyer, left behind by employees who fled the island of New Providence last month when his cryptocurrency exchangeFTX imploded.</p><p>âItâs been an interesting few weeks,â Bankman-Fried says in a chipper tone as he greets me. Itâs a muggy Saturday afternoon, eight days after FTX filed for bankruptcy. Heâs shoeless, in white gym socks, a red T-shirt and wrinkled khaki shorts. His standard uniform.</p><p>This isnât part of the typical tour Bankman-Fried gave to the many reporters who came to tell the tale of the boy-genius-crypto-billionaire who slept on a beanbag chair next to his desk and only got rich so he could give it all away, and itâs easy to see why. The apartment is at the top of one of the luxury condo buildings that border a marina in a gated community called Albany. Outside, deckhands buff the stanchions of a 200-foot yacht owned by a fracking billionaire. A bronze replica of Wall Streetâs<i>Charging Bull</i>statue stands on the lawn, which is as manicured as the residents. I feel like Iâve crash-landed on an alien planet populated solely by the very rich and the people who work for them.</p><p>Bankman-Fried leads me down a marble-floored hallway to a small bedroom, where he perches on a plush brown couch. Always known for being jittery, he taps his foot so hard it rattles a coffee table, smacks gum and rubs his index finger with his thumb like heâs twirling an invisible fidget spinner. But he seems almost cheerful as he explains why heâs invited me into his 12,000-square-foot bolthole, against the advice of his lawyers, even as investigators from theUS Department of Justice probewhether he used customersâ funds to prop up his hedge fund, a crime that could send him to prison for years. (Spoiler alert: It sure looks like he did.)</p><p>âWhat Iâm focusing on is what I can do, right now, to try and make things as right as possible,â Bankman-Fried says. âI canât do that if Iâm just focused on covering my ass.â</p><p>But he seems to be doing just that, with me here and all along the apology tour heâll later embark on, which will include a video appearance at a<i>New York Times</i>conference and an interview on<i>Good Morning America</i>. Heâs been trying to blame his firmâs failure on a hazy combination of comically poor bookkeeping, wildly misjudged risks and complete ignorance of what his hedge fund was doing. In other words, an alumnus of both MIT and the elite Wall Street trading firmJane Streetis arguing that he was just dumb with the numbersânot pulling a conscious fraud. Talking in detail to journalists about whatâs certain to be the subject of extensive litigation seems like an unusual strategy, but it makes sense: The press helped him create his only-honest-man-in-crypto image, so why not use them to talk his way out of trouble?</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/79b2ba9ef6da8454146f200cdc460f6e\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"666\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Bankman-Fried after an interview on<i>Bloomberg Wealth With David Rubenstein</i>on Aug. 17, 2022.Photographer: Jeenah Moon/Bloomberg</p><p>He doesnât say so, but one reason he might be willing to speak with me is that Iâm one of the reporters who helped build him up. After spending two days at FTXâs offices in February, I flew past the brightred flagsat his companyâits lack of corporate governance, the ties to his Alameda Research hedge fund, its profligate spending on marketing, the fact that it operated largely outside US jurisdiction. Iwrote a storyfocused on whether Bankman-Fried would follow through on his plans to donate huge sums to charity and his connections to an unusual philanthropic movement calledeffective altruism.</p><p>It wasnât the most embarrassingly puffy of the many puff pieces that came out about him. (âAfter my interview with SBF, I was convinced: I was talking to a future trillionaire,â one writer said in an article commissioned by a venture capital firm.) But my tone wasnât entirely dissimilar. âBankman-Fried is a thought experiment from a college philosophy seminar come to life,â I wrote. âShould someone who wants to save the world first amass as much money and power as possible, or will the pursuit corrupt him along the way?â Now it seems pretty clear that a better question wouldâve been whether the business was ascam from the start.</p><p>I tell Bankman-Fried I want to talk about the decisions that led to FTXâs collapse, and why he took them. Earlier in the week, inlate-night DM exchangeswith a<i>Vox</i>reporter and on a phone call with a YouTuber, he made comments that many interpreted as an admission that everything he said was a lie. (âSo the ethics stuff, mostly a front?â the<i>Vox</i>reporter asked. âYeah,â Bankman-Fried replied.) Heâd spoken so cynically about his motivations that to many it seemed like a comic book character was pulling off his mask to reveal the villain whoâd been hiding there all along.</p><p>I set out on this visit with a different working theory. Maybe I was feeling the tug of my past reporting, but I still didnât think the talk about charity was all made up. Since he was a teenager, Bankman-Fried has described himself as utilitarianâfollowing the philosophy that the correct action is the one likely to result in the greatest good for the greatest number of people. He said his endgame was making and donating enough money to prevent pandemics and stop runaway artificial intelligence from destroying humanity. Faced with a crisis, and believing he was the hero of his own sci-fi movie, he mightâve thought it was right to make a crazy, even illegal, gamble to save his company.</p><p>To be clear, if thatâs what happened, itâs the logic of a megalomaniac, not a martyr. The money wasnât his to gamble with, and âthe ends justify the meansâ is a clichĂ© of bad ethics. But if itâs what he believed, he might still think heâd made the right decision, even if it didnât work out. It seemed to me thatâs what he meant when he messaged<i>Vox</i>, âThe worst quadrant is sketchy + lose. The best is win + ???â I want to probe that, in part because it might get him to talk more candidly about what had happened to his customersâ money.</p><p>I decide to approach the topic gingerly, on terms I think heâll relate to, as it seems heâs in less of a crime-confess-y mood. Heâs said he likes to evaluate decisions in terms of expected valueâthe odds of success times the likely payoffâso I begin by asking: âShould I judge you by your impact, or by the expected value of your decision?â</p><p>âWhen all is said and done, what matters is your actual realized impact. Like, thatâs what actually matters to the world,â he says. âBut, obviously, thereâs luck.â</p><p>Thatâs the in Iâm looking for. For the next 11 hoursâwith breaks for fundraising calls and a very awkward dinnerâI try to get him to tell me exactly what he meant. He denies that heâs committed fraud or lied to anyone and blames FTXâs failure on his sloppiness and inattention. But at points it seems like heâs saying he got<i>un</i>lucky, or miscalculated the odds.</p><p>Bankman-Fried tells me heâs still got a chance to raise $8 billion to save his company. He seems delusional, or committed to pretending this is still an error he can fix, and either way, the few supporters remaining at his penthouse seem unlikely to set him straight. The grim scene reminds me a bit of the end of<i>Scarface</i>, with Tony Montana holed up in his mansion, semi-incoherent, his unknown enemies sneaking closer. But instead of mountains of cocaine, Bankman-Fried is clinging to spreadsheet tabs filled with wildly optimistic cryptocurrency valuations.</p><p>Think of FTX like an offshore casino. Customers sent in money, then gambled on the price of hundreds ofcryptocurrenciesânot just Bitcoin or Ether, but more obscure coins. In crypto slang, the latter are called shitcoins, because almost no one knows what theyâre for. But in the past few years, otherwise respectable people, from retired dentists to heads of state, convinced themselves that these coins werethe future of finance. Or at least that enough other people might think so to make the price go up. Bankman-Friedâs casino was growing so fast that earlier this year some of Silicon Valleyâs top venture capitalists invested in it at a $32 billion valuation.</p><p>The problem surfaced last month. After a rival crypto-casino kingpin raised concerns about FTX on Twitter, customers rushed to cash in their chips. But when Bankman-Friedâs casino opened the vault, their money wasnât there. According to multiple news reports citing people familiar with the matter, it had been secretly lent to Bankman-Friedâs hedge fund, which had lost it in some mix of bad bets, insane spending and perhaps something even sketchier. John Ray III, the lawyer whoâs now chief executive officer of the bankrupt exchange, has alleged in court that FTX covered up the loans using secret software.</p><p>Bankman-Fried denies this again to me. Returning to the framework of expected value, I ask him if the decisions he made were correct.</p><p>âI think that Iâve made a lot of plus-EV decisions and a few very large boneheaded decisions,â he says. âCertainly in retrospect, those very large decisions were very bad, and may end up overwhelming everything else.â</p><p>The chain of events, in his telling, started about four years ago. Bankman-Fried was in Hong Kong, where heâd moved from Berkeley, California, with a small group of friends from the effective-altruism community. Together they ran a successful startup crypto hedge fund,Alameda Research. (The name itself was an early example of his casual attitude toward rulesâit was chosen to avoid scrutiny from banks, which frequently closed its accounts. âIf we named our company like, Shitcoin Daytraders Inc., theyâd probably just reject us,â Bankman-Fried told a podcaster in 2021. âBut, I mean, no one doesnât like research.â)</p><p>The fund had made millions of dollars exploiting inefficiencies across cryptocurrency exchanges. (Ex-employees, even those otherwise critical of Bankman-Fried, have said this is true, though some have said Alameda then lost some of that money because of bad trades and mismanagement.) Bankman-Fried and his friends began considering starting their own exchangeâwhat would become FTX.</p><p>The way Bankman-Fried later described this decision reveals his attitude toward risk. He estimated there was an 80% chance the exchange would fail to attract enough customers. But heâs said one should always take a bet, even a long-shot one, if the expected value is positive, calling this stance ârisk neutral.â But it actually meant he would take risks that to a normal person sound insane. âAs an individual, to make a bet where itâs like, âIâm going to gamble my $10 billion and either get $20 billion or $0, with equal probability,â would be madness,â Rob Wiblin, host of an effective-altruism podcast, said to Bankman-Fried in April. âBut from an altruistic point of view, itâs not so crazy.â</p><p>âCompletely agree,â Bankman-Fried replied. He told another interviewer that heâd make a bet described as a chance of â51% you double the earth out somewhere else, 49% it all disappears.â</p><p>Bankman-Fried and his friends jump-started FTX by having Alameda provide liquidity. It was a huge conflict of interest. Imagine if the top executives at an online poker site also entered its high-stakes tournamentsâthe temptation to cheat by peeking at other playersâ cards would be huge. But Bankman-Fried assured customers that Alameda would play by the same rules as everyone else, and enough people came to trade that FTX took off. âHaving Alameda provide liquidity on FTX early on was the right decision, because I think that helped make FTX a great product for users, even though it obviously ended up backfiring,â Bankman-Fried tells me.</p><p>Part of FTXâs appeal was that it was mostly a derivatives exchange, which allowed customers to trade âon margin,â meaning with borrowed money. Thatâs a key to his defense. Bankman-Fried argues no one should be surprised that big traders on FTX, including Alameda, were borrowing from the exchange, and that his fundâs position just somehow got out of hand. âEveryone was borrowing and lending,â he says. âThatâs been its calling card.â But FTXâs normal margin system, crypto traders tell me, would never have permitted anyone to accumulate a debt that looked like Alamedaâs. When I ask if Alameda had to follow the same margin rules as other traders, he admits the fund did not. âThere was more leeway,â he says.</p><p>That wouldnât have been so important had Alameda stuck to its original trading strategy of relatively low-risk arbitrage trades. But in 2020 and 2021, as Bankman-Fried became the face of FTX, amajor political donorand a favorite of Silicon Valley, Alameda faced more competition in that market-making business. It shifted its strategy to, essentially, gambling on shitcoins.</p><p>As Caroline Ellison, then Alamedaâs co-CEO, explained in aMarch 2021 post on Twitter: âThe way to really make money is figure out when the market is going to go up and get balls long before that,â she wrote, adding that sheâd learned the strategy from the classic market-manipulation memoir,<i>Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.</i>Her co-CEO said in another tweet that a profitable strategy was buying Dogecoin becauseElon Musktweeted about it.</p><p>The reason they were bragging about what sounded like a high schoolerâs tactics was that it was working better than anyone knew. When we spoke in February 2022, Bankman-Fried told me that Alameda had made $1 billion the previous year. He now says that was Alamedaâs arbitrage profits. On top of that, its shitcoins gained tens of billions of dollars of value, at least on paper. âIf you mark everything to market, I do believe at one point my net worth got to $100 billion,â Bankman-Fried says.</p><p>Any trader would know this wasnât nearly as good as it sounded. The large pile of tokens couldnât be turned into cash without crashing the market. Much of it was even made of tokens that Bankman-Fried and his friends had spun up themselves, such as FTT, Serum or Mapsâthe official currency of a nonsensical crypto-meets-mapping appâor were closely affiliated with, like Solana. While Bankman-Fried acknowledges the pile was worth something less than $100 billionâmaybe heâd mark it down a third, he saysâhe maintains that he could have extracted quite a lot of real money from his holdings.</p><p>But he didnât. Instead, Alameda borrowed billions of dollars from other crypto lendersânot FTXâand sunk them into more crypto bets. Publicly, Bankman-Fried presented himself as an ethical operator andcalled for regulationto rein in cryptoâs worst excesses. But through his hedge fund, heâd actually become the marketâs most degenerate gambler. I ask him why, if he really thought he could sell the tokens, he didnât. âWhy not, like, take some risk off?â</p><p>âOK. In retrospect, absolutely. That wouldâve been the right, like, unambiguously the right thing to do,â he says. âBut also it was just, like, hilariously well-capitalized.â</p><p>Near the peak of the great shitcoin boom, in April 2022, FTX hosted a lavish conference at a resort and casino in Nassau. It was Bankman-Friedâs coming out party. He got to share the stage with quarterback Tom Brady. Also there: former Prime Minister Tony Blair and ex-President Bill Clinton, who extended a fatherly hand when the young crypto executive seemed nervous. The author Michael Lewis, whoâs working on a book about Bankman-Fried, praised him in a fawning interview onstage. âYouâre breaking land speed records. And I donât think people are really noticing whatâs happened, just how dramatic the revolution has become,â Lewis said, asking when crypto would take over Wall Street.</p><p>The next month, thecrypto crash began. It started when a popular set of coins called Terra and Luna collapsed, wiping out $60 billion. Terra and Luna were almost openly a Ponzi scheme, but some of the biggest crypto funds had invested in them with borrowed money and went bankrupt. This made the lenders whoâd lent billions of dollars to Alameda nervous. They asked Alameda to repay the loans, with real money. It needed billions of dollars, fast, or it would go bust.</p><p>There are two different versions of what happened next. Two people with knowledge of the matter told me that Ellison, by then the sole head of Alameda, had told her side of the story to her staff amid the crisis. Ellison said that she, Bankman-Fried and his two top lieutenantsâGary Wang and Nishad Singhâhad discussed the shortfall. Instead of admitting Alamedaâs failure, they decided to use FTX customer funds to cover it, according to the people. If thatâs true, all four executives wouldâve knowingly committed fraud. (Ellison, Wang and Singh didnât respond to messages seeking comment.)</p><p>When I put this to Bankman-Fried, he screws up his eyes, furrows his eyebrows, puts his hands in his hair and thinks for a few seconds.</p><p>âSo, itâs not how I remember what happened,â Bankman-Fried says. But he surprises me by acknowledging that there had been a meeting, post-Luna crash, where they debated what to do about Alamedaâs debts. The way he tells it, he was packing for a trip to DC and âonly kibitzing on parts of the discussion.â It didnât seem like a crisis, he says. It was a matter of extending a bit more credit to a fund that already traded on margin and still had a pile of collateral worth way more than enough to cover the loan. (Although the pile of collateral was largely shitcoins.)</p><p>âThat was the point at which Alamedaâs margin position on FTX got, well, it got more leveraged substantially,â he says. âObviously, in retrospect, we shouldâve just said no. I sort of didnât realize then how large the position had gotten.â</p><p>âYou were all aware there was a chance this would not work,â I say.</p><p>âThatâs right,â he says. âBut I thought that the risk was substantially smaller.â</p><p>I try to imagine what he couldâve been thinking. If FTX had liquidated Alamedaâs position, the fund wouldâve gone bankrupt, and even if the exchange didnât take direct losses, customers wouldâve lost confidence in it. Bankman-Fried points out that the companies that lent money to Alameda might have failed, too, causing a hard-to-predict cascade of events.</p><p>âNow letâs say you donât margin call Alameda,â I posit. âMaybe you think thereâs like a 70% chance everything will be OK, itâll all work out?â</p><p>âYes, but also in the cases where it didnât work out, I thought the downside was not nearly as high as it was,â he says. âI thought that there was the risk of a much smaller hole. I thought it was going to be manageable.â</p><p>Bankman-Fried pulls out his laptop (an Acer Predator) and opens a spreadsheet to show what he meant. Itâs similar to thebalance sheethe reportedly showed investors when he was seeking a last-minute bailout, which he says consolidated FTX and Alamedaâs positions because by then the fund had defaulted on its debt. On one lineâlabeled âWhat I *thought*ââhe lists $8.9 billion in debts and way more than enough money to pay them: $9 billion in liquid assets, $15.4 billion in âless liquidâ assets and $3.2 billion in âilliquidâ ones. He tells me this was more or less the position he was considering when he had the meeting with the other executives.</p><p>âIt looks naively to me like, you know, thereâs still some significant liabilities out there, but, like, we should be able to cover it,â he says.</p><p>âSo whatâs the problem, then?â</p><p>Bankman-Fried points to another place on the spreadsheet, which he says shows the actual truth of the situation at the time of the meeting. This one shows similar numbers, but with $8 billion less liquid assets.</p><p>âWhatâs the difference between these two rows here?â he asks.</p><p>âYou didnât have $8 billion in cash that you thought you had,â I say.</p><p>âThatâs correct. Yes.â</p><p>âYou misplaced $8 billion?â I ask.</p><p>âMisaccounted,â Bankman-Fried says, sounding almost proud of his explanation. Sometimes, he says, customers would wire money to Alameda Research instead of sending it directly to FTX. (Some banks were more willing to work with the hedge fund than the exchange, for some reason.) He claims that somehow, FTXâs internal accounting system double-counted this money, essentially crediting it to both the exchange and the fund.</p><p>That still doesnât explain why the money was gone. âWhere did the $8 billion go?â I ask.</p><p>To answer, Bankman-Fried creates a new tab on the spreadsheet and starts typing. He lists Alameda and FTXâs biggest cash flows. One of the biggest expenses is paying a net $2.5 billion toBinance, a rival, to buy out its investment in FTX. He also lists $250 million for real estate, $1.5 billion for expenses, $4 billion for venture capital investments, $1.5 billion for acquisitions and $1 billion labeled âfuckups.â Even accounting for both firmsâ profits, and all the venture capital money raised by FTX, it tallies to negative $6.5 billion.</p><p>Bankman-Fried is telling me that the billions of dollars customers wired to Alameda is gone simply because the companies spent way more than they made. He claims he paid so little attention to his expenses that he didnât realize he was spending more than he was taking in. âI was real lazy about this mental math,â the former physics major says. He creates another column in his spreadsheet and types in much lower numbers to show what he thought he was spending at the time.</p><p>It seems to me like he is, without saying it exactly, blaming his underlings for FTXâs failure, especially Ellison, the head of Alameda. The two had dated and lived together at times. She was part of Bankman-Friedâs Future Fund, which was supposed to distribute FTX and Alamedaâs earnings to effective-altruist-approved causes. It seems unlikely she wouldâve blown billions of dollars without asking. âPeople might take, like, the TLDR as, like, it was my ex-girlfriendâs fault,â I tell him. âThat is sort of what youâre saying.â</p><p>âI think the biggest failure was that it wasnât entirely clear whose fault it was,â he says.</p><p>Bankman-Fried tells me he has to make a call. After a while, the sun goes down and Iâm hungry. Iâm allowed to join a group of Bankman-Friedâs supporters for dinner, as long as I donât mention their names.</p><p>With the curtains drawn, the living room looks considerably less grand than it does in pictures. Iâve been told that FTX employees gathered here amid the crisis, while Bankman-Fried worked in another apartment. Addled by stress and sleep deprivation, they wept and hugged one another. Most didnât say goodbye as they left the island, one by one. Many flew back to their childhood homes to be with their parents.</p><p>The supporters at the dinner tell me they feel like the press has been unfair. They say that Bankman-Fried and his friends werenât the polyamorous partiers the tabloids have portrayed and that they did little besides work. Earlier in the week, a Bahamian man whoâd served as FTXâs round-the-clock chauffeur and gofer also told me the reports werenât true. âPeople make it seem like this big<i>Wolf of Wall Street</i>thing,â he said. âBro, it was a bunch of nerds.â</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b87535c118f069e782e80762398d0a9c\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"1000\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Illustration: Maxime Mouysset for Bloomberg Businessweek</p><p>By the time I finish my plate of off-the-record rice and beans, Bankman-Fried is free again. We return to the study. Heâs barefoot now, having balled up his gym socks and stuffed them behind a couch cushion. He lies on the couch, his computer on his lap. The light from the screen casts shadows of his curls on his forehead.</p><p>I notice a skin-colored patch on his arm. He tells me itâs a transdermal antidepressant, selegiline. I ask if heâs using it as a performance enhancer or to treat depression. âNothingâs binary,â he says. âBut Iâve been borderline depressed for my whole life.â He adds that he also sometimes takes Adderallââ10 milligrams at a time, a few times a dayââas did some of his colleagues, but that talk of drug use is overblown. âI donât think that was the problem,â he says.</p><p>I tell Bankman-Fried my theory about his motivation, sidestepping the question of whether he misappropriated customer funds. Bankman-Fried denies that his world-saving goals made him willing to take giant gambles. As we talk more, it seems like heâs saying he made some kind of bet but hadnât calculated the expected value properly.</p><p>âI was comfortable taking the risk that, like, I may end up kind of falling flat,â he says, staring at his computer screen, where he had pulled up a game and was leading an army of cartoon knights and fairies into battle. âBut what actually happened was disastrously bad and, like, no significant chance of that happening wouldâve made sense to risk, and that was a fuckup. Like, that was a mass miscalculation in downside.â</p><p>I read Bankman-Fried a post by Will MacAskill, one of the founders of the effective-altruism movement. He recruited Bankman-Fried into it when he was a junior at MIT and this year had joined the board of Bankman-Friedâs Future Fund. On Nov. 11,MacAskill wrote on Twitterthat Bankman-Fried had betrayed him. âFor years, the EA community has emphasized the importance of integrity, honesty and the respect of common-sense moral constraints,â MacAskill wrote. âIf customer funds were misused, then Sam did not listen; he must have thought he was above such considerations.â</p><p>Bankman-Fried closes his eyes and pushes his toes against one arm of the couch, clenching the other arm with his hands. âThatâs not how I view what happened,â he says. âBut I did fuck up. I think really what I want to say is, like, Iâm really fucking sorry. By far the worst thing about this is that it will tarnish the reputation of people who are dedicated to doing nothing but what they thought was best for the world.â Bankman-Fried trails off. On his computer screen, his army casts spells and swings swords unattended.</p><p>I ask what heâd say to people who are comparing him to the most famous Ponzi schemer of recent times. âBernie Madoff also said he had good intentions and gave a lot to charity,â I say.</p><p>âFTX was a legitimate, profitable, thriving business. And I fucked up by, like, allowing a margin position to get too big on it. One that endangered the platform. It was a completely unnecessary and unforced error, which like maybe I got super unlucky on, but, like, that was my bad.â</p><p>âIt fucking sucks,â he adds. âBut it wasnât inherent to what the business was. It was just a fuckup. A huge fuckup.â</p><p>To me, it doesnât really seem like a fuckup. Even if I believe that he misplaced and accidentally spent $8 billion, heâs already told me that Alameda had been allowed to violate FTXâs margin rules. This wasnât some little technical thing. He was so proud of FTXâs margining system that heâd been lobbying regulators for it to be used on US exchanges instead of traditional safeguards. In May, Bankman-Fried himself said on Twitter that exchanges should never extend credit to a fund and put other customersâ assets at risk. He wrote that the idea an exchange would even have that discretion was âscary.â I read him the tweets and ask: âIsnât that, like, exactly what you did, right around that time?â</p><p>âYeah, I guess thatâs kind of fair,â he says. Then he seems to claim that this was evidence the rules he was lobbying for were a good idea. âI think this is one of the things that would have stopped.â</p><p>âYou had a rule on your platform. You didnât follow it,â I say.</p><p>By now itâs past midnight, andâoperating without the benefit of any prescription stimulantsâIâm worn out. I ask Bankman-Fried if I can see the apartmentâs deck before I leave. Outside, crickets chirp as we stand by the pool. The marina is dark, lit only by the spotlights of yachts. As I say goodbye, Bankman-Fried bites into a burger bun and starts talking about potential bailouts with one of his supporters.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>11 Hours With Sam Bankman-Fried: Inside the Bahamian Penthouse After FTXâs Fall</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n11 Hours With Sam Bankman-Fried: Inside the Bahamian Penthouse After FTXâs Fall\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-12-03 07:00 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2022-12-02/inside-sam-bankman-fried-s-bahamian-penthouse-after-ftx-s-collapse?srnd=premium-asia><strong>Bloomberg</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Sam Bankman-Friedâs $30 million Bahamas penthouse looks like a dorm after the students have left for winter break.

The dishwasher is full. Towels are piled in the laundry room. Bat streamers from a Halloween party are still hanging from a doorway. Two boxes of Legos sit on the floor of one bedroom. And then there are the shoesâdozens of sneakers and heels piled in the foyer, left behind by employees who fled the island of New Providence last month when his cryptocurrency exchangeFTX imploded.âItâs been an interesting few weeks,â Bankman-Fried says in a chipper tone as he greets me. Itâs a muggy Saturday afternoon, eight days after FTX filed for bankruptcy. Heâs shoeless, in white gym socks, a red T-shirt and wrinkled khaki shorts. His standard uniform.This isnât part of the typical tour Bankman-Fried gave to the many reporters who came to tell the tale of the boy-genius-crypto-billionaire who slept on a beanbag chair next to his desk and only got rich so he could give it all away, and itâs easy to see why. The apartment is at the top of one of the luxury condo buildings that border a marina in a gated community called Albany. Outside, deckhands buff the stanchions of a 200-foot yacht owned by a fracking billionaire. A bronze replica of Wall StreetâsCharging Bullstatue stands on the lawn, which is as manicured as the residents. I feel like Iâve crash-landed on an alien planet populated solely by the very rich and the people who work for them.Bankman-Fried leads me down a marble-floored hallway to a small bedroom, where he perches on a plush brown couch. Always known for being jittery, he taps his foot so hard it rattles a coffee table, smacks gum and rubs his index finger with his thumb like heâs twirling an invisible fidget spinner. But he seems almost cheerful as he explains why heâs invited me into his 12,000-square-foot bolthole, against the advice of his lawyers, even as investigators from theUS Department of Justice probewhether he used customersâ funds to prop up his hedge fund, a crime that could send him to prison for years. (Spoiler alert: It sure looks like he did.)âWhat Iâm focusing on is what I can do, right now, to try and make things as right as possible,â Bankman-Fried says. âI canât do that if Iâm just focused on covering my ass.âBut he seems to be doing just that, with me here and all along the apology tour heâll later embark on, which will include a video appearance at aNew York Timesconference and an interview onGood Morning America. Heâs been trying to blame his firmâs failure on a hazy combination of comically poor bookkeeping, wildly misjudged risks and complete ignorance of what his hedge fund was doing. In other words, an alumnus of both MIT and the elite Wall Street trading firmJane Streetis arguing that he was just dumb with the numbersânot pulling a conscious fraud. Talking in detail to journalists about whatâs certain to be the subject of extensive litigation seems like an unusual strategy, but it makes sense: The press helped him create his only-honest-man-in-crypto image, so why not use them to talk his way out of trouble?Bankman-Fried after an interview onBloomberg Wealth With David Rubensteinon Aug. 17, 2022.Photographer: Jeenah Moon/BloombergHe doesnât say so, but one reason he might be willing to speak with me is that Iâm one of the reporters who helped build him up. After spending two days at FTXâs offices in February, I flew past the brightred flagsat his companyâits lack of corporate governance, the ties to his Alameda Research hedge fund, its profligate spending on marketing, the fact that it operated largely outside US jurisdiction. Iwrote a storyfocused on whether Bankman-Fried would follow through on his plans to donate huge sums to charity and his connections to an unusual philanthropic movement calledeffective altruism.It wasnât the most embarrassingly puffy of the many puff pieces that came out about him. (âAfter my interview with SBF, I was convinced: I was talking to a future trillionaire,â one writer said in an article commissioned by a venture capital firm.) But my tone wasnât entirely dissimilar. âBankman-Fried is a thought experiment from a college philosophy seminar come to life,â I wrote. âShould someone who wants to save the world first amass as much money and power as possible, or will the pursuit corrupt him along the way?â Now it seems pretty clear that a better question wouldâve been whether the business was ascam from the start.I tell Bankman-Fried I want to talk about the decisions that led to FTXâs collapse, and why he took them. Earlier in the week, inlate-night DM exchangeswith aVoxreporter and on a phone call with a YouTuber, he made comments that many interpreted as an admission that everything he said was a lie. (âSo the ethics stuff, mostly a front?â theVoxreporter asked. âYeah,â Bankman-Fried replied.) Heâd spoken so cynically about his motivations that to many it seemed like a comic book character was pulling off his mask to reveal the villain whoâd been hiding there all along.I set out on this visit with a different working theory. Maybe I was feeling the tug of my past reporting, but I still didnât think the talk about charity was all made up. Since he was a teenager, Bankman-Fried has described himself as utilitarianâfollowing the philosophy that the correct action is the one likely to result in the greatest good for the greatest number of people. He said his endgame was making and donating enough money to prevent pandemics and stop runaway artificial intelligence from destroying humanity. Faced with a crisis, and believing he was the hero of his own sci-fi movie, he mightâve thought it was right to make a crazy, even illegal, gamble to save his company.To be clear, if thatâs what happened, itâs the logic of a megalomaniac, not a martyr. The money wasnât his to gamble with, and âthe ends justify the meansâ is a clichĂ© of bad ethics. But if itâs what he believed, he might still think heâd made the right decision, even if it didnât work out. It seemed to me thatâs what he meant when he messagedVox, âThe worst quadrant is sketchy + lose. The best is win + ???â I want to probe that, in part because it might get him to talk more candidly about what had happened to his customersâ money.I decide to approach the topic gingerly, on terms I think heâll relate to, as it seems heâs in less of a crime-confess-y mood. Heâs said he likes to evaluate decisions in terms of expected valueâthe odds of success times the likely payoffâso I begin by asking: âShould I judge you by your impact, or by the expected value of your decision?ââWhen all is said and done, what matters is your actual realized impact. Like, thatâs what actually matters to the world,â he says. âBut, obviously, thereâs luck.âThatâs the in Iâm looking for. For the next 11 hoursâwith breaks for fundraising calls and a very awkward dinnerâI try to get him to tell me exactly what he meant. He denies that heâs committed fraud or lied to anyone and blames FTXâs failure on his sloppiness and inattention. But at points it seems like heâs saying he gotunlucky, or miscalculated the odds.Bankman-Fried tells me heâs still got a chance to raise $8 billion to save his company. He seems delusional, or committed to pretending this is still an error he can fix, and either way, the few supporters remaining at his penthouse seem unlikely to set him straight. The grim scene reminds me a bit of the end ofScarface, with Tony Montana holed up in his mansion, semi-incoherent, his unknown enemies sneaking closer. But instead of mountains of cocaine, Bankman-Fried is clinging to spreadsheet tabs filled with wildly optimistic cryptocurrency valuations.Think of FTX like an offshore casino. Customers sent in money, then gambled on the price of hundreds ofcryptocurrenciesânot just Bitcoin or Ether, but more obscure coins. In crypto slang, the latter are called shitcoins, because almost no one knows what theyâre for. But in the past few years, otherwise respectable people, from retired dentists to heads of state, convinced themselves that these coins werethe future of finance. Or at least that enough other people might think so to make the price go up. Bankman-Friedâs casino was growing so fast that earlier this year some of Silicon Valleyâs top venture capitalists invested in it at a $32 billion valuation.The problem surfaced last month. After a rival crypto-casino kingpin raised concerns about FTX on Twitter, customers rushed to cash in their chips. But when Bankman-Friedâs casino opened the vault, their money wasnât there. According to multiple news reports citing people familiar with the matter, it had been secretly lent to Bankman-Friedâs hedge fund, which had lost it in some mix of bad bets, insane spending and perhaps something even sketchier. John Ray III, the lawyer whoâs now chief executive officer of the bankrupt exchange, has alleged in court that FTX covered up the loans using secret software.Bankman-Fried denies this again to me. Returning to the framework of expected value, I ask him if the decisions he made were correct.âI think that Iâve made a lot of plus-EV decisions and a few very large boneheaded decisions,â he says. âCertainly in retrospect, those very large decisions were very bad, and may end up overwhelming everything else.âThe chain of events, in his telling, started about four years ago. Bankman-Fried was in Hong Kong, where heâd moved from Berkeley, California, with a small group of friends from the effective-altruism community. Together they ran a successful startup crypto hedge fund,Alameda Research. (The name itself was an early example of his casual attitude toward rulesâit was chosen to avoid scrutiny from banks, which frequently closed its accounts. âIf we named our company like, Shitcoin Daytraders Inc., theyâd probably just reject us,â Bankman-Fried told a podcaster in 2021. âBut, I mean, no one doesnât like research.â)The fund had made millions of dollars exploiting inefficiencies across cryptocurrency exchanges. (Ex-employees, even those otherwise critical of Bankman-Fried, have said this is true, though some have said Alameda then lost some of that money because of bad trades and mismanagement.) Bankman-Fried and his friends began considering starting their own exchangeâwhat would become FTX.The way Bankman-Fried later described this decision reveals his attitude toward risk. He estimated there was an 80% chance the exchange would fail to attract enough customers. But heâs said one should always take a bet, even a long-shot one, if the expected value is positive, calling this stance ârisk neutral.â But it actually meant he would take risks that to a normal person sound insane. âAs an individual, to make a bet where itâs like, âIâm going to gamble my $10 billion and either get $20 billion or $0, with equal probability,â would be madness,â Rob Wiblin, host of an effective-altruism podcast, said to Bankman-Fried in April. âBut from an altruistic point of view, itâs not so crazy.ââCompletely agree,â Bankman-Fried replied. He told another interviewer that heâd make a bet described as a chance of â51% you double the earth out somewhere else, 49% it all disappears.âBankman-Fried and his friends jump-started FTX by having Alameda provide liquidity. It was a huge conflict of interest. Imagine if the top executives at an online poker site also entered its high-stakes tournamentsâthe temptation to cheat by peeking at other playersâ cards would be huge. But Bankman-Fried assured customers that Alameda would play by the same rules as everyone else, and enough people came to trade that FTX took off. âHaving Alameda provide liquidity on FTX early on was the right decision, because I think that helped make FTX a great product for users, even though it obviously ended up backfiring,â Bankman-Fried tells me.Part of FTXâs appeal was that it was mostly a derivatives exchange, which allowed customers to trade âon margin,â meaning with borrowed money. Thatâs a key to his defense. Bankman-Fried argues no one should be surprised that big traders on FTX, including Alameda, were borrowing from the exchange, and that his fundâs position just somehow got out of hand. âEveryone was borrowing and lending,â he says. âThatâs been its calling card.â But FTXâs normal margin system, crypto traders tell me, would never have permitted anyone to accumulate a debt that looked like Alamedaâs. When I ask if Alameda had to follow the same margin rules as other traders, he admits the fund did not. âThere was more leeway,â he says.That wouldnât have been so important had Alameda stuck to its original trading strategy of relatively low-risk arbitrage trades. But in 2020 and 2021, as Bankman-Fried became the face of FTX, amajor political donorand a favorite of Silicon Valley, Alameda faced more competition in that market-making business. It shifted its strategy to, essentially, gambling on shitcoins.As Caroline Ellison, then Alamedaâs co-CEO, explained in aMarch 2021 post on Twitter: âThe way to really make money is figure out when the market is going to go up and get balls long before that,â she wrote, adding that sheâd learned the strategy from the classic market-manipulation memoir,Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.Her co-CEO said in another tweet that a profitable strategy was buying Dogecoin becauseElon Musktweeted about it.The reason they were bragging about what sounded like a high schoolerâs tactics was that it was working better than anyone knew. When we spoke in February 2022, Bankman-Fried told me that Alameda had made $1 billion the previous year. He now says that was Alamedaâs arbitrage profits. On top of that, its shitcoins gained tens of billions of dollars of value, at least on paper. âIf you mark everything to market, I do believe at one point my net worth got to $100 billion,â Bankman-Fried says.Any trader would know this wasnât nearly as good as it sounded. The large pile of tokens couldnât be turned into cash without crashing the market. Much of it was even made of tokens that Bankman-Fried and his friends had spun up themselves, such as FTT, Serum or Mapsâthe official currency of a nonsensical crypto-meets-mapping appâor were closely affiliated with, like Solana. While Bankman-Fried acknowledges the pile was worth something less than $100 billionâmaybe heâd mark it down a third, he saysâhe maintains that he could have extracted quite a lot of real money from his holdings.But he didnât. Instead, Alameda borrowed billions of dollars from other crypto lendersânot FTXâand sunk them into more crypto bets. Publicly, Bankman-Fried presented himself as an ethical operator andcalled for regulationto rein in cryptoâs worst excesses. But through his hedge fund, heâd actually become the marketâs most degenerate gambler. I ask him why, if he really thought he could sell the tokens, he didnât. âWhy not, like, take some risk off?ââOK. In retrospect, absolutely. That wouldâve been the right, like, unambiguously the right thing to do,â he says. âBut also it was just, like, hilariously well-capitalized.âNear the peak of the great shitcoin boom, in April 2022, FTX hosted a lavish conference at a resort and casino in Nassau. It was Bankman-Friedâs coming out party. He got to share the stage with quarterback Tom Brady. Also there: former Prime Minister Tony Blair and ex-President Bill Clinton, who extended a fatherly hand when the young crypto executive seemed nervous. The author Michael Lewis, whoâs working on a book about Bankman-Fried, praised him in a fawning interview onstage. âYouâre breaking land speed records. And I donât think people are really noticing whatâs happened, just how dramatic the revolution has become,â Lewis said, asking when crypto would take over Wall Street.The next month, thecrypto crash began. It started when a popular set of coins called Terra and Luna collapsed, wiping out $60 billion. Terra and Luna were almost openly a Ponzi scheme, but some of the biggest crypto funds had invested in them with borrowed money and went bankrupt. This made the lenders whoâd lent billions of dollars to Alameda nervous. They asked Alameda to repay the loans, with real money. It needed billions of dollars, fast, or it would go bust.There are two different versions of what happened next. Two people with knowledge of the matter told me that Ellison, by then the sole head of Alameda, had told her side of the story to her staff amid the crisis. Ellison said that she, Bankman-Fried and his two top lieutenantsâGary Wang and Nishad Singhâhad discussed the shortfall. Instead of admitting Alamedaâs failure, they decided to use FTX customer funds to cover it, according to the people. If thatâs true, all four executives wouldâve knowingly committed fraud. (Ellison, Wang and Singh didnât respond to messages seeking comment.)When I put this to Bankman-Fried, he screws up his eyes, furrows his eyebrows, puts his hands in his hair and thinks for a few seconds.âSo, itâs not how I remember what happened,â Bankman-Fried says. But he surprises me by acknowledging that there had been a meeting, post-Luna crash, where they debated what to do about Alamedaâs debts. The way he tells it, he was packing for a trip to DC and âonly kibitzing on parts of the discussion.â It didnât seem like a crisis, he says. It was a matter of extending a bit more credit to a fund that already traded on margin and still had a pile of collateral worth way more than enough to cover the loan. (Although the pile of collateral was largely shitcoins.)âThat was the point at which Alamedaâs margin position on FTX got, well, it got more leveraged substantially,â he says. âObviously, in retrospect, we shouldâve just said no. I sort of didnât realize then how large the position had gotten.ââYou were all aware there was a chance this would not work,â I say.âThatâs right,â he says. âBut I thought that the risk was substantially smaller.âI try to imagine what he couldâve been thinking. If FTX had liquidated Alamedaâs position, the fund wouldâve gone bankrupt, and even if the exchange didnât take direct losses, customers wouldâve lost confidence in it. Bankman-Fried points out that the companies that lent money to Alameda might have failed, too, causing a hard-to-predict cascade of events.âNow letâs say you donât margin call Alameda,â I posit. âMaybe you think thereâs like a 70% chance everything will be OK, itâll all work out?ââYes, but also in the cases where it didnât work out, I thought the downside was not nearly as high as it was,â he says. âI thought that there was the risk of a much smaller hole. I thought it was going to be manageable.âBankman-Fried pulls out his laptop (an Acer Predator) and opens a spreadsheet to show what he meant. Itâs similar to thebalance sheethe reportedly showed investors when he was seeking a last-minute bailout, which he says consolidated FTX and Alamedaâs positions because by then the fund had defaulted on its debt. On one lineâlabeled âWhat I *thought*ââhe lists $8.9 billion in debts and way more than enough money to pay them: $9 billion in liquid assets, $15.4 billion in âless liquidâ assets and $3.2 billion in âilliquidâ ones. He tells me this was more or less the position he was considering when he had the meeting with the other executives.âIt looks naively to me like, you know, thereâs still some significant liabilities out there, but, like, we should be able to cover it,â he says.âSo whatâs the problem, then?âBankman-Fried points to another place on the spreadsheet, which he says shows the actual truth of the situation at the time of the meeting. This one shows similar numbers, but with $8 billion less liquid assets.âWhatâs the difference between these two rows here?â he asks.âYou didnât have $8 billion in cash that you thought you had,â I say.âThatâs correct. Yes.ââYou misplaced $8 billion?â I ask.âMisaccounted,â Bankman-Fried says, sounding almost proud of his explanation. Sometimes, he says, customers would wire money to Alameda Research instead of sending it directly to FTX. (Some banks were more willing to work with the hedge fund than the exchange, for some reason.) He claims that somehow, FTXâs internal accounting system double-counted this money, essentially crediting it to both the exchange and the fund.That still doesnât explain why the money was gone. âWhere did the $8 billion go?â I ask.To answer, Bankman-Fried creates a new tab on the spreadsheet and starts typing. He lists Alameda and FTXâs biggest cash flows. One of the biggest expenses is paying a net $2.5 billion toBinance, a rival, to buy out its investment in FTX. He also lists $250 million for real estate, $1.5 billion for expenses, $4 billion for venture capital investments, $1.5 billion for acquisitions and $1 billion labeled âfuckups.â Even accounting for both firmsâ profits, and all the venture capital money raised by FTX, it tallies to negative $6.5 billion.Bankman-Fried is telling me that the billions of dollars customers wired to Alameda is gone simply because the companies spent way more than they made. He claims he paid so little attention to his expenses that he didnât realize he was spending more than he was taking in. âI was real lazy about this mental math,â the former physics major says. He creates another column in his spreadsheet and types in much lower numbers to show what he thought he was spending at the time.It seems to me like he is, without saying it exactly, blaming his underlings for FTXâs failure, especially Ellison, the head of Alameda. The two had dated and lived together at times. She was part of Bankman-Friedâs Future Fund, which was supposed to distribute FTX and Alamedaâs earnings to effective-altruist-approved causes. It seems unlikely she wouldâve blown billions of dollars without asking. âPeople might take, like, the TLDR as, like, it was my ex-girlfriendâs fault,â I tell him. âThat is sort of what youâre saying.ââI think the biggest failure was that it wasnât entirely clear whose fault it was,â he says.Bankman-Fried tells me he has to make a call. After a while, the sun goes down and Iâm hungry. Iâm allowed to join a group of Bankman-Friedâs supporters for dinner, as long as I donât mention their names.With the curtains drawn, the living room looks considerably less grand than it does in pictures. Iâve been told that FTX employees gathered here amid the crisis, while Bankman-Fried worked in another apartment. Addled by stress and sleep deprivation, they wept and hugged one another. Most didnât say goodbye as they left the island, one by one. Many flew back to their childhood homes to be with their parents.The supporters at the dinner tell me they feel like the press has been unfair. They say that Bankman-Fried and his friends werenât the polyamorous partiers the tabloids have portrayed and that they did little besides work. Earlier in the week, a Bahamian man whoâd served as FTXâs round-the-clock chauffeur and gofer also told me the reports werenât true. âPeople make it seem like this bigWolf of Wall Streetthing,â he said. âBro, it was a bunch of nerds.âIllustration: Maxime Mouysset for Bloomberg BusinessweekBy the time I finish my plate of off-the-record rice and beans, Bankman-Fried is free again. We return to the study. Heâs barefoot now, having balled up his gym socks and stuffed them behind a couch cushion. He lies on the couch, his computer on his lap. The light from the screen casts shadows of his curls on his forehead.I notice a skin-colored patch on his arm. He tells me itâs a transdermal antidepressant, selegiline. I ask if heâs using it as a performance enhancer or to treat depression. âNothingâs binary,â he says. âBut Iâve been borderline depressed for my whole life.â He adds that he also sometimes takes Adderallââ10 milligrams at a time, a few times a dayââas did some of his colleagues, but that talk of drug use is overblown. âI donât think that was the problem,â he says.I tell Bankman-Fried my theory about his motivation, sidestepping the question of whether he misappropriated customer funds. Bankman-Fried denies that his world-saving goals made him willing to take giant gambles. As we talk more, it seems like heâs saying he made some kind of bet but hadnât calculated the expected value properly.âI was comfortable taking the risk that, like, I may end up kind of falling flat,â he says, staring at his computer screen, where he had pulled up a game and was leading an army of cartoon knights and fairies into battle. âBut what actually happened was disastrously bad and, like, no significant chance of that happening wouldâve made sense to risk, and that was a fuckup. Like, that was a mass miscalculation in downside.âI read Bankman-Fried a post by Will MacAskill, one of the founders of the effective-altruism movement. He recruited Bankman-Fried into it when he was a junior at MIT and this year had joined the board of Bankman-Friedâs Future Fund. On Nov. 11,MacAskill wrote on Twitterthat Bankman-Fried had betrayed him. âFor years, the EA community has emphasized the importance of integrity, honesty and the respect of common-sense moral constraints,â MacAskill wrote. âIf customer funds were misused, then Sam did not listen; he must have thought he was above such considerations.âBankman-Fried closes his eyes and pushes his toes against one arm of the couch, clenching the other arm with his hands. âThatâs not how I view what happened,â he says. âBut I did fuck up. I think really what I want to say is, like, Iâm really fucking sorry. By far the worst thing about this is that it will tarnish the reputation of people who are dedicated to doing nothing but what they thought was best for the world.â Bankman-Fried trails off. On his computer screen, his army casts spells and swings swords unattended.I ask what heâd say to people who are comparing him to the most famous Ponzi schemer of recent times. âBernie Madoff also said he had good intentions and gave a lot to charity,â I say.âFTX was a legitimate, profitable, thriving business. And I fucked up by, like, allowing a margin position to get too big on it. One that endangered the platform. It was a completely unnecessary and unforced error, which like maybe I got super unlucky on, but, like, that was my bad.ââIt fucking sucks,â he adds. âBut it wasnât inherent to what the business was. It was just a fuckup. A huge fuckup.âTo me, it doesnât really seem like a fuckup. Even if I believe that he misplaced and accidentally spent $8 billion, heâs already told me that Alameda had been allowed to violate FTXâs margin rules. This wasnât some little technical thing. He was so proud of FTXâs margining system that heâd been lobbying regulators for it to be used on US exchanges instead of traditional safeguards. In May, Bankman-Fried himself said on Twitter that exchanges should never extend credit to a fund and put other customersâ assets at risk. He wrote that the idea an exchange would even have that discretion was âscary.â I read him the tweets and ask: âIsnât that, like, exactly what you did, right around that time?ââYeah, I guess thatâs kind of fair,â he says. Then he seems to claim that this was evidence the rules he was lobbying for were a good idea. âI think this is one of the things that would have stopped.ââYou had a rule on your platform. You didnât follow it,â I say.By now itâs past midnight, andâoperating without the benefit of any prescription stimulantsâIâm worn out. I ask Bankman-Fried if I can see the apartmentâs deck before I leave. Outside, crickets chirp as we stand by the pool. The marina is dark, lit only by the spotlights of yachts. As I say goodbye, Bankman-Fried bites into a burger bun and starts talking about potential bailouts with one of his supporters.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":82,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9066694518,"gmtCreate":1651890188734,"gmtModify":1676534992219,"author":{"id":"3570885355172302","authorId":"3570885355172302","name":"Jstan","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9066694518","repostId":"2233939112","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2233939112","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1651879296,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2233939112?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-05-07 07:21","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-Wall Street Ends Down on Fears Inflation Will Force Tougher Fed Tightening","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2233939112","media":"Reuters","summary":"Wall Street's main indexes extended losses on Friday as investors worried that the Federal Reserve w","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Wall Street's main indexes extended losses on Friday as investors worried that the Federal Reserve will need to be more aggressive than expected in raising interest rates to combat inflation.</p><p>The tech-heavy Nasdaq registered its lowest close since 2020, notching a fifth straight weekly loss, its longest losing streak since the fourth quarter of 2012.
