0:00

well what do you know Sam bankman fraud

0:02

who's been released on bail to spend

0:04

time with Mommy and Daddy in Northern

0:06

California

0:07

apparently wasn't the Jerome Powell that

0:11

people thought he was this should be

0:13

obvious now after the collapse of the

0:14

fraud FTX but Sam bankman freed was

0:18

considered a hero when he came and

0:21

bought Robin Hood stock back in May of

0:26

2022. now Robin Hood has frequently been

0:28

trading for near their cash balance as

0:31

investors actually look at Robinhood and

0:33

think oh my gosh it's possible Robin

0:35

Hood could light more money on fire even

0:38

though they're trading close to their

0:39

cash balance they could light more money

0:42

on fire and lose even more investor

0:43

capital and the stock has been through

0:46

some heck of a roller coaster moving

0:48

from somewhere around seven bucks to as

0:51

low as six dollars and 81 cents in July

0:55

trying to move all the way up to about

0:57

12 and then right back to 771 where it

1:00

trades today an insane roller coaster

1:03

for Robin Hood stock but one of the

1:05

reasons people thought Robin Hood was

1:07

quite fascinating was because Sam begman

1:10

freed bought a lot of Robin Hood shares

1:14

he bought over 500 million dollars worth

1:17

of Robin Hood in May of 2022 taking a

1:21

7.6 stake in Robin Hood yet

1:24

unfortunately for Mr Sam bankman freed

1:27

also known as sandbankment fraud it

1:29

seems like he wasn't much of a Jerome

1:32

Powell because see Jerome Powell can

1:34

print money without borrowing it and

1:36

getting margin called unfortunately Sam

1:38

bankman freed actually ended up

1:40

borrowing money from Alameda to finance

1:45

his purchase of Robin Hood shares and

1:49

now the bankrupt firm blackfied

1:53

is suing Sam bankman freed for his Robin

1:57

Hood shares alleging that block fight is

2:02

owed the shares that uh that that Sam

2:06

Beekman freed bought because those

2:08

shares were pledged to block Phi to

2:12

guarantee that Alameda would follow

2:15

through on the deal with block five now

2:17

this is a really interesting twist

2:19

because it could put substantial selling

2:21

pressure on Robinhood because obviously

2:23

if blockfi is going through bankruptcy

2:25

and they're trying to survive that

2:27

bankruptcy if they can claw Sam bankman

2:30

Freed's Robin Hood shares which is

2:32

probably the only net worth

2:34

sandbagmatfried has left if he could if

2:36

if a blockfi can take those shares it's

2:39

very likely that blockify would dump

2:41

those shares on the market probably not

2:44

through a Robin Hood kind of platform

2:46

probably through a wall street block

2:48

trade but the point is there'd be a

2:51

substantial increase in the amount of

2:52

share is available for sale for Robin

2:55

Hood and you can see a substantial shift

2:56

down in Robinhood share price now that

2:59

could be good news for Block fi as that

3:01

money would then go to try to help bail

3:04

block fight out but this is a very

3:06

interesting allegation that all of a

3:08

sudden you have

3:10

blockify suggesting that Sam bankman

3:12

freed borrowed the money from Alameda

3:16

via four personal promissory notes

3:20

in order for him to buy shares of Robin

3:24

Hood now when we look at the

3:26

fundamentals of Robin Hood they're the

3:29

biggest red flag that you have is that

3:31

Robin Hood makes money from Trading

3:33

right and when Robin Hood makes money

3:35

from Trading

3:37

it wants to see people trade more

3:40

problem is when you go into a recession

3:43

people tend to do one of two things they

3:46

capitulate sell out and sit on the

3:48

sidelines and usually they miss the

3:50

recovery

3:51

or they huddle stop trading altogether

3:55

because they're frustrated by the market

3:57

they stick their heads in the sand maybe

3:59

occasionally add by buying the dip

4:02

potentially by using Diversified

4:04

actively managed ETFs or index funds or

4:07

whatever and you don't actually see much

4:10

trading activity so you have some really

4:12

big red flags for trading for investing

4:16

in brokerages like Robinhood so from a

4:18

fundamental point of view that's a big

4:20

concern now some other things that you

4:22

have here is uh well and I do want to

4:24

see you or say here you could see

4:26

transactions plummeting right look at

4:28

this transactions down 22.1 percent or

4:31

transaction Revenue down 22.1 percent

4:34

from the three months ending September

4:36

30th 2021 to 2022. it's a big hit now

4:40

they are seeing a nice move up in

4:43

interest revenues however Robin Hood is

4:47

kind of playing a race to the top game

4:49

with to compete against companies like

4:51

Sofi and wealth front because Robin Hood

4:53

is now offering to pay somewhere over

4:56

3.7 I think it actually is 3.75 on your

5:00

cash that you have deposited with

5:01

Robinhood and I think wealthfront is now

5:03

a little over four percent so you've got

5:05

a lot of big yield opportunities you're

5:07

fighting with but that's going to in my

5:09

opinion decrease the net interest

5:11

revenues for Robinhood as they start

5:13

coming out with these new products

5:14

pitching hey we're gonna offer you a

5:17

larger uh interest rate on your savings

5:21

with Robinhood now remember Vlad tennev

5:24

actually came on the channel here to

5:26

pitch that they were going to offer a

5:28

higher yield on their interest bearing

5:32

accounts so their checking accounts over

5:33

at Robinhood basically uh and uh they

5:36

announced this on September 23rd which

5:40

you'll notice September 23rd is actually

5:42

a week before the end of this quarter so

5:45

in my opinion the net interest revenues

5:47

for Robinhood are probably going to go

5:49

down because they went from paying

5:52

virtually nothing to paying

5:54

3.75 percent so I would not be surprised

5:57

to see their transaction revenues

5:59

plummet and their net interest revenues

6:01

plummet now the good news for Robinhood

6:04

is they are trying to cut spending look

6:06

at this their technology and development

6:08

sector they used they spent 679 million

6:11

in 2021 in the third quarter only 185

6:14

here in the third quarter they're still

6:17

losing money but only 20 cents could you

6:19

imagine Robin Hood At profitability I

6:22

don't know when that net interest

6:23

Revenue goes down probably not but

6:25

otherwise they almost got close to

6:26

profitability here and that's why I

6:28

wrote imagine Robin Hood At

6:29

profitability but again this is a big

6:31

red flag because of those net interest

6:33

revenues I think there are going to come

6:35

plummeting down so uh again you'd have

6:38

to cut substantially here and you'd

6:41

still be sitting in in a negative

6:43

situation unfortunately these are some

6:45

notes that I took in my course member

6:47

live stream with course members we often

6:49

do fundamental analysis if you want to

6:51

join in those fun fundamental analysis

6:52

check out the programs on building your

6:53

wealth link down below there's a coupon

6:55

code expiring on the 27th of December

6:57

including the shadow Kevin for a Day

6:59

Option but anyway initially I believe

7:02

that in terms of user growth and I still

7:05

believe this the 3.75 will help a lot

7:08

it's kind of like free marketing but

7:10

unfortunately that free marketing is

7:12

going to come with the downside that

7:14

their net interest revenue is going to

7:16

decline so even if you were able to cut

7:18

a little bit more expenses over here and

7:20

you were able to bring them to

7:22

profitability which you're not exactly

7:24

close to that right now right you have

7:26

174 million dollars of cuts you have to

7:28

do that's like even if you had zero net

7:31

interest Revenue you you'd still be in a

7:34

or I'm sorry let me put it this way if

7:35

you doubled your net interest Revenue

7:37

you would still be at a loss at Revenue

7:40

so I I don't think you're gonna or you

7:42

know a loss of income so I don't think

7:44

you're going to be at profitability

7:45

anytime soon for Robinhood so

7:48

unfortunately when it comes to Robinhood

7:49

stock I think you have quite a few

7:51

negative cash fabulous ahead of you a I

7:53

think that Sam bakeman fraud Shares are

7:55

probably going to get Plum pummeled onto

7:57

the market through bankruptcy hearings

7:59

and you could see Robin Hood go to three

8:02

dollars and fifty cents or potentially

8:04

even less I hate to say it but but that

8:06

selling pressure is going to be huge on

8:08

top of that in the next earnings report

8:09

you're probably going to see net

8:11

interest revenues plummet potentially as

8:14

low as uh I I would guess

8:17

a lower level than what we had over here

8:19

when they were at 63 million I hate to

8:21

say but it could probably go below that

8:23

it would be odd for it to go up because

8:25

I don't know how they would be paying

8:26

out while still farming these these high

8:29

yields it would really be dependent on

8:32

users just for some reason not signing

8:34

up for those higher yields of course

8:36

that's Robin Hood's play is that more

8:37

people sign up for those higher yields

8:39

they pay five bucks a month and then

8:41

maybe they'll start making money off of

8:43

the five bucks a month but let's be real

8:45

the five bucks a month belongs over here

8:48

in the other section of Revenue and the

8:51

other section of Revenue is on a

8:53

downtrend they were at 35 mil in other

8:56

rev now they're sitting at 25. so it's

8:59

just looking a little gloomy for Tesla

9:01

or not Tesla Tesla's looking really

9:02

gloomy today that sucker's down like 11

9:04

it's just looking really gloomy for

9:06

Robin Hood from a fundamental point of

9:08

view whereas things are actually

9:10

fundamentally looking great for Tesla

9:12

it's just going through

9:14

hell that's all I that's that's all I

9:17

could describe that is it is the most

9:19

amount of paper handing ever anyway

9:22

luck out there hope you appreciate some

9:24

fundamentals because one day they'll

9:27

come true

9:28

#not guaranteed my opinion only thanks

9:30

bye
