If SOS is any example, I would disagree.\nAs for investing in SOS stock, Tezcan Gecgil pointed out no less than seven ETFs that made smarter bets on the blockchain and cryptocurrencies.

Here’s why.\nI Wasn’t a Fan of SOS Stock At $6.50\nIn March, I argued that SOS stock wasthe last investment you should maketo benefit from blockchain technologies.\nThe March 30 purchase by accredited investors of 25 million ADS (American Depositary Shares) at $5 each raised$125 millionfor its cryptocurrency mining operations with the potential to raise an additional $125 million from warrants attached to the issue that has an exercise price of $5.\nThat all sounds very promising. After all, who in their right mind would invest $125 million in something that has no redeeming qualities? I sure wouldn’t.\nBut what precisely are these redeeming qualities?\nAccording toInvestorPlacecontributor Muslim Farooque, SOS’s crypto-miners are already deliveringBitcoin(CCC:BTC-USD) revenues.Approximately one-thirdof the 15,600 crypto-miners it’s acquired is in operation, with the remaining 10,600 ready to go soon.\nFarooque points out thatRiot Blockchain(NASDAQ:RIOT) only has 11,500 operating at the moment. Game, set and match for SOS.\nWhile I respect my colleague’s opinion, I find it hard to believe that anyone would back a company that provides so little information about its financial situation. Its website leaves a lot to be desired.\nIt did, however, point me to itssix-month numbersthrough June 30, 2020. On the top line, it had sales of $9.9 million, a gross profit of $79,000, and an operating loss of $2.6 million.\nI guess that’s better than a kick in the head. But this equates to a $700 million market capitalization? I don’t think so. Annualize the $9.9 million and you get a price-to-sales ratio of 35.\nNuts.\nThe Bottom Line\nThe Reddit supporters like to talk about thedemocratization of investing. You know, the whole leveling of the playing field, and all that.\nThe problem is that it doesn’t address an obvious issue that retail investors face each day: the lack of information.\nNo, I’m not talking about Google. I’m talking about how the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) blindly lets companies such as SOS trade on the New York Stock Exchange. The information contained within its SEC filings is woefully inadequate for most retail investors to make an educated decision about investing in its stock.\nI’ve talked many times about my vision for the democratization of investing. It involves being able to buy 25 stocks on 25 stock exchanges in 25 countries using a smartphone.\nHowever, to make that happen, each of these countries must ensure that proper documentation is made available by public companies in that country to investors of all types.\nSome would say they already do. If SOS is any example, I would disagree.\nAs for investing in SOS stock, Tezcan Gecgil pointed out no less than seven ETFs that made smarter bets on the blockchain and cryptocurrencies. I totally agree with her argument.\nThe short squeeze likely isn’t coming. Do not buy SOS stock based on wishful thinking. You will get burned.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":4156285,"gmtCreate":1619575848530,"gmtModify":1680785954065,"authorId":3570479349727470,"author":{"id":3570479349727470,"idStr":"3570479349727470","authorId":3570479349727470,"name":"ALIBINHASSAN","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a7c31b79e7bff28841c5f18dca737f4","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":372040765,"type":1,"supId":4116290,"prevId":0,"content":"Time to buy back now I think","text":"Time to buy back now I think","html":"Time to buy back now I think"},{"id":4116290,"gmtCreate":1619214789047,"gmtModify":1680785320892,"authorId":3574384014717887,"author":{"id":3574384014717887,"idStr":"3574384014717887","authorId":3574384014717887,"name":"cutemiao","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bb482433c2ea26132373994768ab7de2","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":372040765,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Me too.&nbsp; Won't buy this anymore","text":"Me too.&nbsp; Won't buy this anymore","html":"Me too.&nbsp; Won't buy this anymore"}],"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":5,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
