You start out as an intern just making copies and getting coffee — “aboard Barrack’s private planes, Grimes would graciously serve tea and crackers, and was sometimes called upon to book restaurant reservations” — but if you work hard and are a good team player you will rapidly progress. You’ll get face time with the boss, take on increasing responsibility, be put in front of clients, lead your own deals — Grimes “was also president of a related special purpose acquisition vehicle” — and, if everything works out just right, you’ll end up charged in the same federal criminal prosecution as the boss. That’s how you know you’ve made it.

And yet when I think of Robinhood, well-capitalized prudent risk management, careful regulatory compliance and 100% reliable technology are not the first things I think of. If Robinhood becomes its own high-frequency trading firm it will be really fun to watch?

“Stock prices discount the expected future cash flows of operating businesses,” naive beginners think, but those who are enlightened know that stock prices are actually just a side effect of weekly call options, an entertaining online gambling product. Why.

Nothing stops an activist at another company from trying to run the meme-stock playbook. Buy some stock in a struggling company and, instead of going out and pitching your plans to BlackRock and Vanguard, get on Reddit and say like “if my board slate is elected we’re gonna take XYZ Co. to the moon and squeeze those short sellers, rocket emoji rocket emoji rocket emoji, not a proxy solicitation, read my SEC filings for full disclosures.”

If you see someone in a ski mask outside of a bank stuffing bags with dollar signs on them into a getaway car, and you notice that they have dropped some of the bags in their haste to stuff them into the car, it is only polite to stop and help them pick up the bags.[2] And then it is only polite for them to give you one of the bags with dollar signs on them as a thank-you for your help. Everyone in Crypto Town is so friendly, but also so many of them are bank robbers.About an hour following Poly Network’s announcement of the hack, the perpetrator attempted to move stolen assets through the Ethereum address into Curve.fi, but the transaction was blocked. The hackers continued trying for about 20-30 minutes before an anonymous user sent the hackers a message on the blockchain that USD Tether had been blocked.
The user told the hackers to try depositing the stolen tokens without Tether, which the hackers did successfully and they deposited all the addresses into Curve. The hackers then sent the anonymous user about $45,000 worth of ethereum for their help.

Improving corporate governance! Imagine being the corporate governance expert at the SoftBank Vision Fund! You’ve been playing video games for two straight years but now finally you can spring into action. Apparently companies should … make money … and … not give absolute power to whimsical self-dealing founders, check.

Is AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. a growth stock or a value stock? Well, no. It’s a meme stock. A growth stock trades at a high multiple because its earnings are growing quickly. A value stock trades at a low multiple because its earnings are growing slowly. A meme stock trades at a high multiple because it is funny.

I am a long-time skeptic of “financial literacy” education, which consists essentially of giving people quizzes about compound interest as a substitute for a decent social safety net.
Re: this thread is for posting matt levine quotes in
To teach children about the banking system, a U.S. primary school walked its students to a local bank where each opened a savings account into which each deposited $5. Implicit in this activity is the message that the bank is trustworthy. Another bank then acquired that bank and charged all low balance accountholders a monthly maintenance fee that wiped out the children’s savings.

Don’t be afraid to follow your dreams, kids, if your dreams are (1) to be an investment banker and (2) to be a DJ; that specific combination seems fine.

Good throwing book! Hardcover, 304 pages, about a pound, intellectually hefty. When you clonk someone on the head with “The Hard Thing About Hard Things,” they know that you are serious about building a transformative business and willing to make difficult managerial decisions, like the decision to throw a book at them.

At some point there is likely to be some controversy between Robinhood and the SEC in which the SEC says “Robinhood are some lawless hooligans” and Robinhood says “actually the SEC are some lawless hooligans.”

Are you buying illegal drugs on a message board? You might get the drugs, or you might get arrested, hard to say. Are you buying a missile launcher on a message board? You are definitely getting arrested, nobody is selling a missile launcher on a message board, that is cops.

Sober professional fundamental investors turn out to have overreacted to short-term news. Crazed Reddit retail investors took the long view, acted as the buyer of last resort when stocks were on sale, and were rewarded for it.
