Bakes’ Takes Podcast Show Notes Saturday

:27 1) Bitcoin-$500,000?
2) SPAC mania
3) FB breakup
:47 Why I do this—Bobby, Jack, discuss money and markets with my sons, please listen in.
2:07 Not investment advice. Please conduct, and share, your own due diligence.
Bakes’ Take—Fan Mail! Calls! Questions! Mike!
2:45 Jack—What are SPAC’s?
3:13 Why so popular?
Long Term Outlook?
5:42 Depends on sponsor, their incentives, skin in game
6:18 Chamath/SOFI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2qsvAgWnI8
6:40 Full disclosure, I have not studied financials, so investigate EBITDA multiples etc. I like Chamath, good reputation, agree with SOFI’s disrupting position
7:11 Nikola/NKLA fiasco, fumes
7:40 Bakes’ Take—study sponsor, their incentives, first, then wait for deal, examine numbers, invest if you like even after pop
8:00 Anonymous—FFEGX 2030, FFIZX 2040
9:29 Bakes’ Take-Great approach, stay the course, tax-deferred, max company match, like int’l exposure, decrease risk as 2030, 2040 approaches, add Bakes’ Takes on top
10:10 John—Facebook/FB
10:35 1/14/21 broke 200 dma 245.64 on 66% above avg volume, not huge but worrying, normally would sell 1/3, lock in big gain, will go through rest of email, then address how to sell stocks
approximately $56B in cash--$19.53/share, $274.50-19.53=254.97/10.48 ‘21=24.3 P/E. agree ok
11b LTD roughly equals FCF, agree ok
25% growth
12:43 Who’s incremental buyer?—1.42 short ratio, 79.77% institutional ownership

13:28 Scott Galloway thinks stock goes up if broken up, WhatsApp would already be making Zoom miserable etc. if not inside FB.
14:46 Bakes’ Take—Valuation ok, advertisers love them, many others hate them, breakup assumed? Sum of parts likely greater, IG, WhatsApp, hold for now, break of 250 on big volume, problem
16:00 How to SELL stocks
$111 close below $117 200 dma, $19 low -82%, $71 still down -36%
John, Tim Ferriss, hope this helps
Bakes’ Takes—My Themes/Groups
18:20 The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC ), the vehicle I use, has risen from the buy point of $15 or so in October of last year to $48, up 220%, in three months.
The pull back to this level is a 1/3 retracement, very standard. Taking profits in a new tax year makes a great deal of sense. Yellen noise. Many skeptics call this a bubble. I disagree.
19:35 My guess is we stop at around the 50-dma and support at $27. 59, if we get there.
19:50 Another thing to consider--Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, who famously invested half a billion dollars of corporate treasury cash in bitcoin, is teaching a course to his peers February 3-4. I will be astonished
If that doesn’t generate a wave of fresh buying.

20:30 URNM (Uranium)-40%+, 73%+ yoy
COPX-10%+, 65%+ yoy
21:15 Bakes’ Take— Bitcoin, uranium, cannabis, gaming and esports, copper, ag. Inflation will be an issue. Silver?
