During the late 1980s, nearly a third of the nation’s savings and loan associations failed, ending with a taxpayer bailout — in 2021 terms — of about $265 billion.</p>\n<p>In 1997-1998, financial crises in Asia and Russia led to the near meltdown of the largest hedge fund in the U.S. —Long-Term Capital Management(LTCM). Its reach and operating practices were such that Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said that when LTCM failed, “he had never seen anything in his lifetime that compared to the terror” he felt. LTCM was deemed “too big to fail,” and he engineered a bailout by 14 major U.S. financial institutions.</p>\n<p>Exactly a decade later, too much leverage by some of those very institutions, and the bursting of a U.S. real estate bubble, led to the near collapse of the U.S. financial system. Once again, big banks were deemed too big to fail and taxpayers came to the rescue.</p>\n<p>The trend? Every 10 years or so, and they all look different.&nbsp;Are we in the early stages of a new crisis now, with the blowup at the family office Archegos Capital Management LP?</p>\n<p>A family office, for the uninitiated, is a private wealth management vehicle for the ultra-wealthy. Here’s what I mean by ultra-wealthy: Consulting firm EY estimates there are some 10,000 family offices globally, but manage, says a separate estimate by market research firm Campden Research, nearly $6 trillion. That $6 trillion is likely far higher now given that it’s based on 2019 data.</p>\n<p><b>Unregulated money managers</b></p>\n<p>Here’s the potential danger. Family offices generally aren’t regulated. The 1940 Investment Advisers Act says firms with 15 clients or fewer don’t have to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission. What this means is that trillions of dollars are in play and no one can really say who’s running the money, what it’s invested in, how much leverage is being used, and what kind of counterparty risk may exist. (Counterparty risk is the probability that one party involved in a financial transaction could default on a contractual obligation to someone else.)</p>\n<p>This appears to be the case with Archegos. The firm bet heavily on certain Chinese stocks, including e-commerce player&nbsp;Vipshop Holdings&nbsp;Ltd.VIPS,-1.19%,U.S.-listed Chinese tutoring company&nbsp;GSX Techedu&nbsp;Inc.GSX,-10.63%and U.S. media companiesViacomCBS&nbsp;Inc.VIAC,-3.90%and&nbsp;Discovery&nbsp;Inc.DISCA,-3.86%,among others. Share prices have tumbled lately, sparking large sales — some $30 billion — by Archegos.</p>\n<p>The problem is that only about a third of that, or $10 billion, was its own money. We now know that Archegos worked with some of the biggest names on Wall Street, including&nbsp;Credit Suisse Group AGCS,+1.59%,UBS Group AGUBS,+1.01%,Goldman Sachs Group Inc.GS,-1.25%,&nbsp;Morgan StanleyMS,-0.28%,Deutsche Bank AGDB,+0.74%and Nomura Holdings Inc.&nbsp;NMR,+1.87%.</p>\n<p>But since family offices are largely allowed to operate unregulated, who’s to say how much money is really involved here and what the extent of market risk is? My colleague Mark DeCambre&nbsp;reported last week that Archegos’ true exposures to bad trades could actuallybe closer to $100 billion.</p>\n<p><b>Danger of counterparty risk</b></p>\n<p>This is where counterparty risk comes in. As Archegos’ bets went south, the above banks — looking at losses of their own — hit the firm with margin calls. Deutsche quickly dumped about $4 billion in holdings, while Goldman and Morgan Stanley are also said to have unwound their positions, perhaps limiting their downside.</p>\n<p>So is this a financial crisis? It doesn’t appear to be. Even so, the Securities and Exchange Commission has opened a preliminary investigation into Archegos and its founder, Bill Hwang.</p>\n<p>One peer, Tom Lee, the research chief of Fundstrat Global Advisors, calls Hwang one of the “top 10 of the best investment minds” he knows.</p>\n<p>But federal regulators may have a lesser opinion. In 2012, Hwang’s former hedge fund, Tiger Asia Management, pleaded guilty and paid more than $60 million in penalties after it was accused of trading on illegal tips about Chinese banks. The SEC banned Hwang from managing money on behalf of clients — essentially booting him from the hedge fund industry. So Hwang opened Archegos, and again, family offices aren’t generally aren’t regulated.</p>\n<p><b>Yellen on the case</b></p>\n<p>This issue is on Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s radar. She said last week that greater oversight of these private corners of the financial industry is needed. The Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), which she oversees, has revived a task force to help agencies better “share data, identify risks and work to strengthen our financial system.”</p>\n<p>Most financial crises end up with American taxpayers getting stuck with the tab. Gains belong to the risk-takers. But losses — they belong to us. To paraphrase Abe Lincoln, family offices — a multi-trillion dollar industry largely allowed to operate in the shadows in a global financial system that is more intertwined than ever — are of the super-wealthy, by the super-wealthy and for the super-wealthy. And no one else.</p>\n<p>The Archegos collapse may or may not be the beginning of yet another financial crisis.

Longer-term, however, I think that traditional investment banking will survive, and that there will always be room for both methods of going public.</p>\n<p>Part of why I say that traditional IPOs will survive is due to the sheer abundance of SPACs out there right now. Can they all find winning companies to merge with? What happens to those that don't find the right dance partner? Surely some will wither and die. But at the same time, the SPAC model is probably here to stay since it does simplify and expedite the whole process of going public and raising capital. And so I think that SPACs will survive even once we’re past the current manic stage.</p>\n<p>First, understand that IPOs and SPACs are really just two ways of getting a private company from point A (in need of capital) to point B (capital needs satisfied and trading publicly). As you'll see, it's really a matter of putting the wagon before the horse, or the horse before the wagon. And the same model doesn’t work for every private company in every situation.</p>\n<p><b>The IPO</b></p>\n<p>The traditional IPO, or Initial Public Offering, has been around since the beginning. This is what investment bankers, among other things, do for a living. As a former senior New York Stock Exchange floor trader who worked as part of the IPO team for what was considered the hottest investment bank during the internet bubble of the late 1990's, early 2000's, I have a great deal of experience in both supporting and in running the execution end of traditional IPOs, either from the booth, or in the crowd at the point of sale.</p>\n<p>In simplified form, IPOs involve private companies working with an investment bank or several investment banks to raise capital by “going public.\" The investment banks place a value on the private firm through a strenuous level of fundamental analysis, all the while gauging or trying to drum up demand. That part of the job is often referred to as a \"road show.\"</p>\n<p>The private company must also register with the exchange where it plans to list, as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission. There is a lengthy process that must be followed, as well as numerous requirements, such as compliance around transparency in financial reporting, that must be met.</p>\n<p>The investment bank or banks, also known as the underwriters, may guarantee the IPO by purchasing the offering in a firm commitment and then selling the shares themselves in the secondary market. Without this \"firm\" commitment, the IPO is considered to be a \"best effort\" agreement, in which the underwriter sells the shares with no guarantee.</p>\n<p>In my experience, the vast majority of IPOs are indeed “firm commitments” in which the underwriter takes on either the profit or loss (the risk) when selling shares after having priced the IPO. In the case of a \"best effort'' IPO, the investment bank is really more like a broker and advisor than a trader, and passes on to the formerly private company's shareholders the proceeds of those initial sales.</p>\n<p><b>The SPAC</b></p>\n<p>The SPAC, or Special Purpose Acquisition Company, has become increasingly popular lately. Some of you may have heard of \"Blank Check Companies.\" This is another term for basically the same thing as a SPAC. The whole idea is simply to raise funds first and then target private companies to merge with afterwards.</p>\n<p>In this way, the private firm is able to get in position to quickly merge with an already-public company, greatly simplifying the process of going public. At that point, the shareholders or owners of the private company can either redeem their stakes at the offering price, or accept stock in the newly-merged company, depending on their preference.</p>\n<p>Why would a private company choose this route over a traditional IPO? There are several good reasons. The first is speed to market. By foregoing the whole \"road show\" process and merging with an already public firm, the company can now bypass all of the registrations and regulatory requirements. In addition, the risk of allowing investment bankers to price the deal is removed once the merger is agreed to.</p>\n<p>What makes SPACs so attractive to private companies that might be in need of capital? It’s pretty simple --<i>in a traditional IPO, the private company chases the capital, but with a SPAC, the capital chases the private company</i>.</p>\n<p>Notably, the SPAC structure is less risky to the owners of the targeted private company. The private company negotiates and agrees to a deal. Their work is now done, and the risk is transferred to the SPAC. This is great -- if you happen to run a highly sought-after private company in a suddenly hot industry. That is another reason why speed matters. No one ever knows how long the iron (or industry) stays hot.</p>\n<p>Now, for the less highly sought-after private business, there will always be a need for a traditional investment banker since these companies still need to raise capital and will need help finding investors. However, in the IPO model, the workload and the risk are more on the private company than they are on the bank -- at least until the issue is priced and regardless of whether a firm commitment has been made.</p>\n<p><b>The Bottom Line</b></p>\n<p>In my opinion, there will always be room in this marketplace for both traditional investment bankers as well as SPACs. For now, amid a pandemic, which has largely taken the \"road show\" aspect out of the IPO, and as certain industries have taken off seemingly overnight, SPACs have taken as much as half of the market for new issues.</p>\n<p>That is the current environment and it is not only subject to change, it<i>will</i>change. As some SPACs fail to attract potentially hot new private companies, their ranks will thin. In a market that’s tougher than the current bull one, raising money ahead of a deal becomes more difficult, and the pendulum will swing back toward traditional investment bankers who provide access to a broader array of potential investors.</p>\n<p>That said, these are two ways of going about doing the same thing. Neither is going away. Quality will succeed where success is deserved, and so quality investment bankers will outperform lower-quality SPACs and vice versa. Where quality is less obvious, there will be failure to last, or to find the right dance partner. The route chosen may depend on just how desirable, or choosy, the private company is able to be.</p>","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>Why SPACs Won’t Replace Traditional IPOs -- and Vice Versa</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\">\nWhy SPACs Won’t Replace Traditional IPOs -- and Vice Versa\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-23 23:42 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.thestreet.com/investing/why-spacs-wont-replace-traditional-ipos><strong>TheStreet</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Will SPACs replace traditional IPOs?

There is a lengthy process that must be followed, as well as numerous requirements, such as compliance around transparency in financial reporting, that must be met.\nThe investment bank or banks, also known as the underwriters, may guarantee the IPO by purchasing the offering in a firm commitment and then selling the shares themselves in the secondary market. Without this \"firm\" commitment, the IPO is considered to be a \"best effort\" agreement, in which the underwriter sells the shares with no guarantee.\nIn my experience, the vast majority of IPOs are indeed “firm commitments” in which the underwriter takes on either the profit or loss (the risk) when selling shares after having priced the IPO. In the case of a \"best effort'' IPO, the investment bank is really more like a broker and advisor than a trader, and passes on to the formerly private company's shareholders the proceeds of those initial sales.\nThe SPAC\nThe SPAC, or Special Purpose Acquisition Company, has become increasingly popular lately. Some of you may have heard of \"Blank Check Companies.\" This is another term for basically the same thing as a SPAC. The whole idea is simply to raise funds first and then target private companies to merge with afterwards.\nIn this way, the private firm is able to get in position to quickly merge with an already-public company, greatly simplifying the process of going public. At that point, the shareholders or owners of the private company can either redeem their stakes at the offering price, or accept stock in the newly-merged company, depending on their preference.\nWhy would a private company choose this route over a traditional IPO? There are several good reasons. The first is speed to market. By foregoing the whole \"road show\" process and merging with an already public firm, the company can now bypass all of the registrations and regulatory requirements. In addition, the risk of allowing investment bankers to price the deal is removed once the merger is agreed to.\nWhat makes SPACs so attractive to private companies that might be in need of capital? It’s pretty simple --in a traditional IPO, the private company chases the capital, but with a SPAC, the capital chases the private company.\nNotably, the SPAC structure is less risky to the owners of the targeted private company. The private company negotiates and agrees to a deal. Their work is now done, and the risk is transferred to the SPAC. This is great -- if you happen to run a highly sought-after private company in a suddenly hot industry. That is another reason why speed matters. No one ever knows how long the iron (or industry) stays hot.\nNow, for the less highly sought-after private business, there will always be a need for a traditional investment banker since these companies still need to raise capital and will need help finding investors. However, in the IPO model, the workload and the risk are more on the private company than they are on the bank -- at least until the issue is priced and regardless of whether a firm commitment has been made.\nThe Bottom Line\nIn my opinion, there will always be room in this marketplace for both traditional investment bankers as well as SPACs. For now, amid a pandemic, which has largely taken the \"road show\" aspect out of the IPO, and as certain industries have taken off seemingly overnight, SPACs have taken as much as half of the market for new issues.\nThat is the current environment and it is not only subject to change, itwillchange. As some SPACs fail to attract potentially hot new private companies, their ranks will thin. In a market that’s tougher than the current bull one, raising money ahead of a deal becomes more difficult, and the pendulum will swing back toward traditional investment bankers who provide access to a broader array of potential investors.\nThat said, these are two ways of going about doing the same thing. Neither is going away. Quality will succeed where success is deserved, and so quality investment bankers will outperform lower-quality SPACs and vice versa. Where quality is less obvious, there will be failure to last, or to find the right dance partner. The route chosen may depend on just how desirable, or choosy, the private company is able to be.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".DJI":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,".SPX":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":468,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":359457526,"gmtCreate":1616421651165,"gmtModify":1634525918505,"author":{"id":"3575521865901442","authorId":"3575521865901442","name":"Lemon8z","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3feb58fb3ebe8a057b516d61f1f3171c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3575521865901442","idStr":"3575521865901442"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/359457526","repostId":"1196983012","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":525,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":327612296,"gmtCreate":1616079851315,"gmtModify":1634527328641,"author":{"id":"3575521865901442","authorId":"3575521865901442","name":"Lemon8z","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3feb58fb3ebe8a057b516d61f1f3171c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3575521865901442","idStr":"3575521865901442"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/327612296","repostId":"1142444897","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":296,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":324698558,"gmtCreate":1615988472074,"gmtModify":1703495989587,"author":{"id":"3575521865901442","authorId":"3575521865901442","name":"Lemon8z","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3feb58fb3ebe8a057b516d61f1f3171c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3575521865901442","idStr":"3575521865901442"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/324698558","repostId":"1189043011","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":518,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":325680369,"gmtCreate":1615894001551,"gmtModify":1703494596487,"author":{"id":"3575521865901442","authorId":"3575521865901442","name":"Lemon8z","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3feb58fb3ebe8a057b516d61f1f3171c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3575521865901442","idStr":"3575521865901442"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/325680369","repostId":"1134955391","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":460,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":326461782,"gmtCreate":1615698081146,"gmtModify":1703492202435,"author":{"id":"3575521865901442","authorId":"3575521865901442","name":"Lemon8z","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3feb58fb3ebe8a057b516d61f1f3171c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3575521865901442","idStr":"3575521865901442"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/326461782","repostId":"2118630979","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":390,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":365236348,"gmtCreate":1614743172684,"gmtModify":1703480559150,"author":{"id":"3575521865901442","authorId":"3575521865901442","name":"Lemon8z","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3feb58fb3ebe8a057b516d61f1f3171c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575521865901442","authorIdStr":"3575521865901442"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/365236348","repostId":"1199601936","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":160,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":358000982,"gmtCreate":1616637169946,"gmtModify":1634524798378,"author":{"id":"3575521865901442","authorId":"3575521865901442","name":"Lemon8z","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3feb58fb3ebe8a057b516d61f1f3171c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575521865901442","authorIdStr":"3575521865901442"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"

During the late 1980s, nearly a third of the nation’s savings and loan associations failed, ending with a taxpayer bailout — in 2021 terms — of about $265 billion.</p>\n<p>In 1997-1998, financial crises in Asia and Russia led to the near meltdown of the largest hedge fund in the U.S. —Long-Term Capital Management(LTCM). Its reach and operating practices were such that Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said that when LTCM failed, “he had never seen anything in his lifetime that compared to the terror” he felt. LTCM was deemed “too big to fail,” and he engineered a bailout by 14 major U.S. financial institutions.</p>\n<p>Exactly a decade later, too much leverage by some of those very institutions, and the bursting of a U.S. real estate bubble, led to the near collapse of the U.S. financial system. Once again, big banks were deemed too big to fail and taxpayers came to the rescue.</p>\n<p>The trend? Every 10 years or so, and they all look different.&nbsp;Are we in the early stages of a new crisis now, with the blowup at the family office Archegos Capital Management LP?</p>\n<p>A family office, for the uninitiated, is a private wealth management vehicle for the ultra-wealthy. Here’s what I mean by ultra-wealthy: Consulting firm EY estimates there are some 10,000 family offices globally, but manage, says a separate estimate by market research firm Campden Research, nearly $6 trillion. That $6 trillion is likely far higher now given that it’s based on 2019 data.</p>\n<p><b>Unregulated money managers</b></p>\n<p>Here’s the potential danger. Family offices generally aren’t regulated. The 1940 Investment Advisers Act says firms with 15 clients or fewer don’t have to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission. What this means is that trillions of dollars are in play and no one can really say who’s running the money, what it’s invested in, how much leverage is being used, and what kind of counterparty risk may exist. (Counterparty risk is the probability that one party involved in a financial transaction could default on a contractual obligation to someone else.)</p>\n<p>This appears to be the case with Archegos. The firm bet heavily on certain Chinese stocks, including e-commerce player&nbsp;Vipshop Holdings&nbsp;Ltd.VIPS,-1.19%,U.S.-listed Chinese tutoring company&nbsp;GSX Techedu&nbsp;Inc.GSX,-10.63%and U.S. media companiesViacomCBS&nbsp;Inc.VIAC,-3.90%and&nbsp;Discovery&nbsp;Inc.DISCA,-3.86%,among others. Share prices have tumbled lately, sparking large sales — some $30 billion — by Archegos.</p>\n<p>The problem is that only about a third of that, or $10 billion, was its own money. We now know that Archegos worked with some of the biggest names on Wall Street, including&nbsp;Credit Suisse Group AGCS,+1.59%,UBS Group AGUBS,+1.01%,Goldman Sachs Group Inc.GS,-1.25%,&nbsp;Morgan StanleyMS,-0.28%,Deutsche Bank AGDB,+0.74%and Nomura Holdings Inc.&nbsp;NMR,+1.87%.</p>\n<p>But since family offices are largely allowed to operate unregulated, who’s to say how much money is really involved here and what the extent of market risk is? My colleague Mark DeCambre&nbsp;reported last week that Archegos’ true exposures to bad trades could actuallybe closer to $100 billion.</p>\n<p><b>Danger of counterparty risk</b></p>\n<p>This is where counterparty risk comes in. As Archegos’ bets went south, the above banks — looking at losses of their own — hit the firm with margin calls. Deutsche quickly dumped about $4 billion in holdings, while Goldman and Morgan Stanley are also said to have unwound their positions, perhaps limiting their downside.</p>\n<p>So is this a financial crisis? It doesn’t appear to be. Even so, the Securities and Exchange Commission has opened a preliminary investigation into Archegos and its founder, Bill Hwang.</p>\n<p>One peer, Tom Lee, the research chief of Fundstrat Global Advisors, calls Hwang one of the “top 10 of the best investment minds” he knows.</p>\n<p>But federal regulators may have a lesser opinion. In 2012, Hwang’s former hedge fund, Tiger Asia Management, pleaded guilty and paid more than $60 million in penalties after it was accused of trading on illegal tips about Chinese banks. The SEC banned Hwang from managing money on behalf of clients — essentially booting him from the hedge fund industry. So Hwang opened Archegos, and again, family offices aren’t generally aren’t regulated.</p>\n<p><b>Yellen on the case</b></p>\n<p>This issue is on Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s radar.

I think to a degree, they already have -- at least for now. Lon","content":"<p>Will SPACs replace traditional IPOs? I think to a degree, they already have -- at least for now. Longer-term, however, I think that traditional investment banking will survive, and that there will always be room for both methods of going public.</p>\n<p>Part of why I say that traditional IPOs will survive is due to the sheer abundance of SPACs out there right now. Can they all find winning companies to merge with? What happens to those that don't find the right dance partner? Surely some will wither and die. But at the same time, the SPAC model is probably here to stay since it does simplify and expedite the whole process of going public and raising capital. And so I think that SPACs will survive even once we’re past the current manic stage.</p>\n<p>First, understand that IPOs and SPACs are really just two ways of getting a private company from point A (in need of capital) to point B (capital needs satisfied and trading publicly). As you'll see, it's really a matter of putting the wagon before the horse, or the horse before the wagon. And the same model doesn’t work for every private company in every situation.</p>\n<p><b>The IPO</b></p>\n<p>The traditional IPO, or Initial Public Offering, has been around since the beginning. This is what investment bankers, among other things, do for a living. As a former senior New York Stock Exchange floor trader who worked as part of the IPO team for what was considered the hottest investment bank during the internet bubble of the late 1990's, early 2000's, I have a great deal of experience in both supporting and in running the execution end of traditional IPOs, either from the booth, or in the crowd at the point of sale.</p>\n<p>In simplified form, IPOs involve private companies working with an investment bank or several investment banks to raise capital by “going public.\" The investment banks place a value on the private firm through a strenuous level of fundamental analysis, all the while gauging or trying to drum up demand. That part of the job is often referred to as a \"road show.\"</p>\n<p>The private company must also register with the exchange where it plans to list, as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission. There is a lengthy process that must be followed, as well as numerous requirements, such as compliance around transparency in financial reporting, that must be met.</p>\n<p>The investment bank or banks, also known as the underwriters, may guarantee the IPO by purchasing the offering in a firm commitment and then selling the shares themselves in the secondary market. Without this \"firm\" commitment, the IPO is considered to be a \"best effort\" agreement, in which the underwriter sells the shares with no guarantee.</p>\n<p>In my experience, the vast majority of IPOs are indeed “firm commitments” in which the underwriter takes on either the profit or loss (the risk) when selling shares after having priced the IPO. In the case of a \"best effort'' IPO, the investment bank is really more like a broker and advisor than a trader, and passes on to the formerly private company's shareholders the proceeds of those initial sales.</p>\n<p><b>The SPAC</b></p>\n<p>The SPAC, or Special Purpose Acquisition Company, has become increasingly popular lately. Some of you may have heard of \"Blank Check Companies.\" This is another term for basically the same thing as a SPAC. The whole idea is simply to raise funds first and then target private companies to merge with afterwards.</p>\n<p>In this way, the private firm is able to get in position to quickly merge with an already-public company, greatly simplifying the process of going public. At that point, the shareholders or owners of the private company can either redeem their stakes at the offering price, or accept stock in the newly-merged company, depending on their preference.</p>\n<p>Why would a private company choose this route over a traditional IPO? There are several good reasons. The first is speed to market. By foregoing the whole \"road show\" process and merging with an already public firm, the company can now bypass all of the registrations and regulatory requirements. In addition, the risk of allowing investment bankers to price the deal is removed once the merger is agreed to.</p>\n<p>What makes SPACs so attractive to private companies that might be in need of capital? It’s pretty simple --<i>in a traditional IPO, the private company chases the capital, but with a SPAC, the capital chases the private company</i>.</p>\n<p>Notably, the SPAC structure is less risky to the owners of the targeted private company. The private company negotiates and agrees to a deal. Their work is now done, and the risk is transferred to the SPAC. This is great -- if you happen to run a highly sought-after private company in a suddenly hot industry. That is another reason why speed matters. No one ever knows how long the iron (or industry) stays hot.</p>\n<p>Now, for the less highly sought-after private business, there will always be a need for a traditional investment banker since these companies still need to raise capital and will need help finding investors. However, in the IPO model, the workload and the risk are more on the private company than they are on the bank -- at least until the issue is priced and regardless of whether a firm commitment has been made.</p>\n<p><b>The Bottom Line</b></p>\n<p>In my opinion, there will always be room in this marketplace for both traditional investment bankers as well as SPACs. For now, amid a pandemic, which has largely taken the \"road show\" aspect out of the IPO, and as certain industries have taken off seemingly overnight, SPACs have taken as much as half of the market for new issues.</p>\n<p>That is the current environment and it is not only subject to change, it<i>will</i>change. As some SPACs fail to attract potentially hot new private companies, their ranks will thin. In a market that’s tougher than the current bull one, raising money ahead of a deal becomes more difficult, and the pendulum will swing back toward traditional investment bankers who provide access to a broader array of potential investors.</p>\n<p>That said, these are two ways of going about doing the same thing.

I think to a degree, they already have -- at least for now. Longer-term, however, I think that traditional investment banking will survive, and that there will always be room for both methods of going public.\nPart of why I say that traditional IPOs will survive is due to the sheer abundance of SPACs out there right now. Can they all find winning companies to merge with? What happens to those that don't find the right dance partner? Surely some will wither and die. But at the same time, the SPAC model is probably here to stay since it does simplify and expedite the whole process of going public and raising capital. And so I think that SPACs will survive even once we’re past the current manic stage.\nFirst, understand that IPOs and SPACs are really just two ways of getting a private company from point A (in need of capital) to point B (capital needs satisfied and trading publicly). As you'll see, it's really a matter of putting the wagon before the horse, or the horse before the wagon. And the same model doesn’t work for every private company in every situation.\nThe IPO\nThe traditional IPO, or Initial Public Offering, has been around since the beginning. This is what investment bankers, among other things, do for a living. As a former senior New York Stock Exchange floor trader who worked as part of the IPO team for what was considered the hottest investment bank during the internet bubble of the late 1990's, early 2000's, I have a great deal of experience in both supporting and in running the execution end of traditional IPOs, either from the booth, or in the crowd at the point of sale.\nIn simplified form, IPOs involve private companies working with an investment bank or several investment banks to raise capital by “going public.\" The investment banks place a value on the private firm through a strenuous level of fundamental analysis, all the while gauging or trying to drum up demand. That part of the job is often referred to as a \"road show.\"\nThe private company must also register with the exchange where it plans to list, as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission. There is a lengthy process that must be followed, as well as numerous requirements, such as compliance around transparency in financial reporting, that must be met.\nThe investment bank or banks, also known as the underwriters, may guarantee the IPO by purchasing the offering in a firm commitment and then selling the shares themselves in the secondary market. Without this \"firm\" commitment, the IPO is considered to be a \"best effort\" agreement, in which the underwriter sells the shares with no guarantee.\nIn my experience, the vast majority of IPOs are indeed “firm commitments” in which the underwriter takes on either the profit or loss (the risk) when selling shares after having priced the IPO. In the case of a \"best effort'' IPO, the investment bank is really more like a broker and advisor than a trader, and passes on to the formerly private company's shareholders the proceeds of those initial sales.\nThe SPAC\nThe SPAC, or Special Purpose Acquisition Company, has become increasingly popular lately. Some of you may have heard of \"Blank Check Companies.\" This is another term for basically the same thing as a SPAC. The whole idea is simply to raise funds first and then target private companies to merge with afterwards.\nIn this way, the private firm is able to get in position to quickly merge with an already-public company, greatly simplifying the process of going public. At that point, the shareholders or owners of the private company can either redeem their stakes at the offering price, or accept stock in the newly-merged company, depending on their preference.\nWhy would a private company choose this route over a traditional IPO? There are several good reasons. The first is speed to market. By foregoing the whole \"road show\" process and merging with an already public firm, the company can now bypass all of the registrations and regulatory requirements. In addition, the risk of allowing investment bankers to price the deal is removed once the merger is agreed to.\nWhat makes SPACs so attractive to private companies that might be in need of capital? It’s pretty simple --in a traditional IPO, the private company chases the capital, but with a SPAC, the capital chases the private company.\nNotably, the SPAC structure is less risky to the owners of the targeted private company. The private company negotiates and agrees to a deal. Their work is now done, and the risk is transferred to the SPAC. This is great -- if you happen to run a highly sought-after private company in a suddenly hot industry. That is another reason why speed matters. No one ever knows how long the iron (or industry) stays hot.\nNow, for the less highly sought-after private business, there will always be a need for a traditional investment banker since these companies still need to raise capital and will need help finding investors. However, in the IPO model, the workload and the risk are more on the private company than they are on the bank -- at least until the issue is priced and regardless of whether a firm commitment has been made.\nThe Bottom Line\nIn my opinion, there will always be room in this marketplace for both traditional investment bankers as well as SPACs. For now, amid a pandemic, which has largely taken the \"road show\" aspect out of the IPO, and as certain industries have taken off seemingly overnight, SPACs have taken as much as half of the market for new issues.\nThat is the current environment and it is not only subject to change, itwillchange. As some SPACs fail to attract potentially hot new private companies, their ranks will thin. In a market that’s tougher than the current bull one, raising money ahead of a deal becomes more difficult, and the pendulum will swing back toward traditional investment bankers who provide access to a broader array of potential investors.\nThat said, these are two ways of going about doing the same thing. Neither is going away. Quality will succeed where success is deserved, and so quality investment bankers will outperform lower-quality SPACs and vice versa. Where quality is less obvious, there will be failure to last, or to find the right dance partner. The route chosen may depend on just how desirable, or choosy, the private company is able to be.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".DJI":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,".SPX":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":468,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":349924526,"gmtCreate":1617525516265,"gmtModify":1634520643119,"author":{"id":"3575521865901442","authorId":"3575521865901442","name":"Lemon8z","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3feb58fb3ebe8a057b516d61f1f3171c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575521865901442","authorIdStr":"3575521865901442"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/349924526","repostId":"2124758413","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1110,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":352263640,"gmtCreate":1616978983680,"gmtModify":1634523356794,"author":{"id":"3575521865901442","authorId":"3575521865901442","name":"Lemon8z","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3feb58fb3ebe8a057b516d61f1f3171c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575521865901442","authorIdStr":"3575521865901442"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/352263640","repostId":"2123281286","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":457,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":372057309,"gmtCreate":1619162174801,"gmtModify":1634288082428,"author":{"id":"3575521865901442","authorId":"3575521865901442","name":"Lemon8z","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3feb58fb3ebe8a057b516d61f1f3171c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575521865901442","authorIdStr":"3575521865901442"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/372057309","repostId":"1128911279","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":974,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":378842842,"gmtCreate":1619018039786,"gmtModify":1634289168815,"author":{"id":"3575521865901442","authorId":"3575521865901442","name":"Lemon8z","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3feb58fb3ebe8a057b516d61f1f3171c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575521865901442","authorIdStr":"3575521865901442"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/378842842","repostId":"2129073871","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1365,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":340047973,"gmtCreate":1617325941792,"gmtModify":1634521426116,"author":{"id":"3575521865901442","authorId":"3575521865901442","name":"Lemon8z","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3feb58fb3ebe8a057b516d61f1f3171c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575521865901442","authorIdStr":"3575521865901442"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/340047973","repostId":"1128510916","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2057,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":356086418,"gmtCreate":1616742233334,"gmtModify":1634524260836,"author":{"id":"3575521865901442","authorId":"3575521865901442","name":"Lemon8z","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3feb58fb3ebe8a057b516d61f1f3171c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575521865901442","authorIdStr":"3575521865901442"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/356086418","repostId":"2122424006","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":257,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":351605281,"gmtCreate":1616591219743,"gmtModify":1634525050501,"author":{"id":"3575521865901442","authorId":"3575521865901442","name":"Lemon8z","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3feb58fb3ebe8a057b516d61f1f3171c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575521865901442","authorIdStr":"3575521865901442"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commen

","summary":"Consumer spending is normalizing, and the meat substitute leader could have much to gain from a reop","content":"<p>Consumer spending is normalizing, and the meat substitute leader could have much to gain from a reopening economy.</p>\n<p>Since its epic rise after its IPO in 2019, the stock for plant-based-protein pioneer&nbsp;<b>Beyond Meat</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:BYND)&nbsp;has been stuck in a sideways action. The company has been hit by a flood of new competition, a pandemic, and a steady stream of bearish calls lambasting the high-flying stock's valuation. In spite of all this, though, the company has managed to stay (just barely at times) in growth mode.</p>\n<p>As 2021 gets underway, the extended slumber for this next-gen food stock could be ready to reverse course. Here's why.</p>\n<p><b>This is one way for a stock to crash</b></p>\n<p>After the extreme optimism in the months following its IPO, Beyond Meat stock has been a roller coaster ride. It's dropped, it's made several attempts to run higher, but ultimately it has come back to the same station from which it started almost two years ago: a&nbsp;market cap&nbsp;just shy of $9 billion.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/855358a1d48d9d00410554baeff7ab31\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1333\"><span>IS IT A BEEF PATTY, OR A PLANT-BASED ONE? IT'S HARDER TO TELL THESE DAYS. IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.</span></p>\n<p>This kind of volatile sideways action is one way for a stock to \"crash.\" Since the irrational exuberance wore off in the summer of 2019, Beyond Meat stock is sitting at essentially a 0% return. Meanwhile, the&nbsp;<b>S&amp;P 500</b>&nbsp;is up 33%.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a11cfc35183cbcaac25c7c4b8e835253\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"435\"><span>DATA BY YCHARTS.</span></p>\n<p>As previously mentioned, though, Beyond Meat itself has continued to grow its business. Even in 2020, it weathered the COVID-19 storm and was able to maintain some positive traction disrupting the massive animal-based protein industry. Foodservice sales -- those made to restaurants -- took a sizable hit as consumers chose to eat at home during the pandemic, but retail sales via its grocery store distributors more than picked up the slack.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/193132417a321a9d268f89a8d55326ef\" tg-width=\"1149\" tg-height=\"420\"><span>DATA SOURCE: BEYOND MEAT. YOY = YEAR OVER YEAR.</span></p>\n<p>Granted, none of this means Beyond Meat shares are trading for some sort of bargain. At 22 times trailing-12-month sales and not reporting much in the way of meaningful profits yet (adjusted&nbsp;EBITDA&nbsp;was just $11.8 million in 2020 on total revenue of $407 million), suffice to say Beyond Meat is expected to return to rapid expansion in 2021 and, well, beyond.</p>\n<p>Powerful brand recognition in an otherwise commoditized marketplace</p>\n<p>I think there's a good chance the implied growth shareholders are expecting will transpire. With the economy reopening, consumers will start returning to restaurants. And restaurants themselves will start to normalize their supply chains, too. Simplified menus with fewer options -- an attempt to cut expenses -- hurt Beyond Meat as much as lower customer foot traffic did.</p>\n<p>But this is more than an economic reopening bet. Beyond Meat and its peer Impossible Foods are on a mission to reduce animal protein consumption and promote more economically friendly practices. The message continues to win over fans. Some fast followers among food supplier incumbents have benefited, too (like&nbsp;<b>Nestle</b>&nbsp;and itsSweet Earth subsidiary). But as competition mounts and pricing on plant-based protein products falls, Beyond Meat has done a pretty good job&nbsp;holding on to some profit margin. Increasing retail and foodservice distribution will help this cause over time now that it's built out its manufacturing capabilities. Given the multiple dynamics behind the plant-based protein movement, Beyond Meat is looking increasingly less like a fad (hard seltzer, anyone?) and more like a potential long-term trend.</p>\n<p>Here's another case in point: It's rare for restaurants to name their supplier in marketing campaigns. But there are exceptions. Think&nbsp;<b>Coca-Cola</b>&nbsp;products with fiercely loyal fans of its drinks,<b>PepsiCo</b>&nbsp;and its drinks and snack foods, or the \"Certified Angus Beef\" trademark. To pique diner interest, a restaurant might name drop a key food supplier if it has brand power. It's early in the game, but Beyond Meat is exhibiting this kind of consumer awareness and brand loyalty. When's the last time you saw a fast-food company tout carrying Sweet Earth burger patties? Beyond Meat, by contrast, often gets mentioned. And it continues to forge relationships within foodservice -- most recently&nbsp;inking new deals&nbsp;with&nbsp;two of world's largest chains,<b>McDonald's</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>Yum!

The company has been hit by a flood of new competition, a pandemic, and a steady stream of bearish calls lambasting the high-flying stock's valuation. In spite of all this, though, the company has managed to stay (just barely at times) in growth mode.\nAs 2021 gets underway, the extended slumber for this next-gen food stock could be ready to reverse course. Here's why.\nThis is one way for a stock to crash\nAfter the extreme optimism in the months following its IPO, Beyond Meat stock has been a roller coaster ride. It's dropped, it's made several attempts to run higher, but ultimately it has come back to the same station from which it started almost two years ago: a market cap just shy of $9 billion.\nIS IT A BEEF PATTY, OR A PLANT-BASED ONE? IT'S HARDER TO TELL THESE DAYS. IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.\nThis kind of volatile sideways action is one way for a stock to \"crash.\" Since the irrational exuberance wore off in the summer of 2019, Beyond Meat stock is sitting at essentially a 0% return. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 is up 33%.\nDATA BY YCHARTS.\nAs previously mentioned, though, Beyond Meat itself has continued to grow its business. Even in 2020, it weathered the COVID-19 storm and was able to maintain some positive traction disrupting the massive animal-based protein industry. Foodservice sales -- those made to restaurants -- took a sizable hit as consumers chose to eat at home during the pandemic, but retail sales via its grocery store distributors more than picked up the slack.\nDATA SOURCE: BEYOND MEAT. YOY = YEAR OVER YEAR.\nGranted, none of this means Beyond Meat shares are trading for some sort of bargain. At 22 times trailing-12-month sales and not reporting much in the way of meaningful profits yet (adjusted EBITDA was just $11.8 million in 2020 on total revenue of $407 million), suffice to say Beyond Meat is expected to return to rapid expansion in 2021 and, well, beyond.\nPowerful brand recognition in an otherwise commoditized marketplace\nI think there's a good chance the implied growth shareholders are expecting will transpire. With the economy reopening, consumers will start returning to restaurants. And restaurants themselves will start to normalize their supply chains, too. Simplified menus with fewer options -- an attempt to cut expenses -- hurt Beyond Meat as much as lower customer foot traffic did.\nBut this is more than an economic reopening bet. Beyond Meat and its peer Impossible Foods are on a mission to reduce animal protein consumption and promote more economically friendly practices. The message continues to win over fans. Some fast followers among food supplier incumbents have benefited, too (like Nestle and itsSweet Earth subsidiary). But as competition mounts and pricing on plant-based protein products falls, Beyond Meat has done a pretty good job holding on to some profit margin. Increasing retail and foodservice distribution will help this cause over time now that it's built out its manufacturing capabilities. Given the multiple dynamics behind the plant-based protein movement, Beyond Meat is looking increasingly less like a fad (hard seltzer, anyone?) and more like a potential long-term trend.\nHere's another case in point: It's rare for restaurants to name their supplier in marketing campaigns. But there are exceptions. Think Coca-Cola products with fiercely loyal fans of its drinks,PepsiCo and its drinks and snack foods, or the \"Certified Angus Beef\" trademark. To pique diner interest, a restaurant might name drop a key food supplier if it has brand power. It's early in the game, but Beyond Meat is exhibiting this kind of consumer awareness and brand loyalty. When's the last time you saw a fast-food company tout carrying Sweet Earth burger patties? Beyond Meat, by contrast, often gets mentioned. And it continues to forge relationships within foodservice -- most recently inking new deals with two of world's largest chains,McDonald's and Yum! Brands.\nI'm not saying to go out and load up on Beyond Meat stock as the economy (and consumer spending) starts to normalize. A lot is riding on the plant-based food company returning to rapid growth, and with the effects of the pandemic still ongoing, those efforts could be derailed. However, if it does recapture some double-digit percentage expansion, 2021 could be the year Beyond Meat stock shines once more.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"BYND":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":622,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":359457526,"gmtCreate":1616421651165,"gmtModify":1634525918505,"author":{"id":"3575521865901442","authorId":"3575521865901442","name":"Lemon8z","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3feb58fb3ebe8a057b516d61f1f3171c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575521865901442","authorIdStr":"3575521865901442"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/359457526","repostId":"1196983012","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":525,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":108438916,"gmtCreate":1620048410235,"gmtModify":1634208256245,"author":{"id":"3575521865901442","authorId":"3575521865901442","name":"Lemon8z","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3feb58fb3ebe8a057b516d61f1f3171c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575521865901442","authorIdStr":"3575521865901442"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/108438916","repostId":"1158766759","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1272,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":345493346,"gmtCreate":1618327517385,"gmtModify":1634293670773,"author":{"id":"3575521865901442","authorId":"3575521865901442","name":"Lemon8z","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3feb58fb3ebe8a057b516d61f1f3171c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575521865901442","authorIdStr":"3575521865901442"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/345493346","repostId":"1194635432","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1342,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":354785755,"gmtCreate":1617201512077,"gmtModify":1634522082789,"author":{"id":"3575521865901442","authorId":"3575521865901442","name":"Lemon8z","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3feb58fb3ebe8a057b516d61f1f3171c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575521865901442","authorIdStr":"3575521865901442"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/354785755","repostId":"1196818239","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1187,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":327612296,"gmtCreate":1616079851315,"gmtModify":1634527328641,"author":{"id":"3575521865901442","authorId":"3575521865901442","name":"Lemon8z","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3feb58fb3ebe8a057b516d61f1f3171c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575521865901442","authorIdStr":"3575521865901442"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/327612296","repostId":"1142444897","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":296,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":326634798,"gmtCreate":1615629293314,"gmtModify":1703491758061,"author":{"id":"3575521865901442","authorId":"3575521865901442","name":"Lemon8z","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3feb58fb3ebe8a057b516d61f1f3171c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575521865901442","authorIdStr":"3575521865901442"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/326634798","repostId":"1100128328","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1100128328","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1615563404,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1100128328?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-12 23:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Stock Is Down.
