Poison Pill Explained: Why Elon Wants to Buy TwitterIn this post, I'll explain the ongoing situation with Twitter; how they're preventing Elon from buying the company out, and my thoughts on why Elon wants Twitter so badly. Twitter's Strategy - Twitter is using a strategy known as the 'poison pill'. - This is one of many defensive strategies that boardrooms can take when they're trying to prevent hostile takeovers. - While the method may vary depending on the deal, the essence of the strategy is simple: make the stock less appealing to the hostile acquirer, and allow opportunities for other shareholders to acquire the stock at a discounted price through the use of call options. - Netflix (NFLX) successfully used this strategy against Carl Icahn in 2012, when he attempted a hostile acquisition of the company, making it difficult for Icahn to acquire more than 10% of the company without approval from the Netflix board. - Luckily for Icahn, he made 20x returns on his investment simply from holding Netflix shares for the three years that he attempted a takeover. - In the case of Elon's acquisition of Twitter, the terms are slightly different. - Elon offered to buy the entire company for $43B, which is a generous offer of $54.20 per share. - Twitter's board however, having seen prices once hover above $70, were not happy with Elon's offer, and asked him to join the board with a 14.9% stake limit - Elon refused. - Twitter emphasized that their poison pill strategy will activate if Elon tries to acquire more than 15% stake in the company, and will remain effective until April 14, 2023. Twitter Shareholders by Size - The Vanguard Group, Inc. 10.3% - Elon Musk 9.2% - Morgan Stanley Investment Management 8.4% - BlackRock Fund Advisors 6.5% - State Street Corp. 4.5% Why Elon Wants to Buy Twitter - My thoughts on why Elon is looking to acquire Twitter is as follows: - The narrative that Elon is pushing as his justification for the purchase is "free speech". - He has been vocal about Twitter's decision to shut down former US president Donald Trump's account. - However, I personally believe that there are deeper layers to this matter than just 'free speech', and 'twitter's untapped potential'. - Tesla currently does not spend a single dime on marketing and advertisement costs. - Elon dissolved the PR department in 2020, and stated that the capital that was previously used for marketing, will now be reinvested back for R&D. - Instead, Elon has been using his twitter account as a channel to promote his businesses - not only Tesla, but also SpaceX, SolarCity, and the Boring Company. - The last time Tesla had a PR department, it spent $70m in marketing and advertisement costs. - So taking that into account, and considering the value that was created by those costs being reinvested back into R&D, Elon has singlehandedly managed to create hundreds of millions of dollars in value through his twitter account. - And the risk of him having his twitter account shut down, due to his potential violation of one of their many policies, is huge. - His acquisition of the company's stake, and taking the company private eliminates this risk for him. - Put into context, it makes more sense: Elon's $43B offer to buy Twitter is equivalent to someone with a net worth of $1m purchasing a G-wagon for their rental car business. Conclusion On one hand, we have Twitter, a company willing to use the poison pill strategy to prevent a hostile acquisition from taking place, and on the other hand, we have Elon Musk, who's trying to take the company private for $43B. I think there are bigger implications to his offer, as we've seen how he was able to connect seemingly unrelated businesses to form a virtuous cycle that would become the pillar of his entire empire. We use electricity generated from SolarCity to power our Tesla cars using solar energy. With the satellites that SpaceX launches, our Tesla cars undergo software updates in real time, and the Boring Company solves traffic jam issues by taking our Teslas through underground tunnels. I'm sure there's room for Twitter to fit into this equation, but I'm not completely sure as to what Elon has on his mind. One thing is for sure: it has more to do with Elon's personal philosophy.

$BTC the royal flush 👁‍🗨*This is not financial advice, so trade at your own risks* *My team digs deep and finds stocks that are expected to perform well based off multiple confluences* *Experienced traders understand the uphill battle in timing the market, so instead my team focuses mainly on risk management !! This chart analysis is for reference purposes only !! PSA: Get one thing straight with us, we are not rookies. Lately we have been on the receiving end of some haters who do not agree with our chart ideas and trades. We are here today to say, "keep the hate coming." Every single one of these guys so far have been proven wrong so it's pretty amusing. Anyways, our thoughts on Bitcoin $BTC have not changed since our last Bitcoin post. It is still in a bearish trend, and things could get much uglier if earnings this week are a bust. Tesla $TSLA and Netflix $NFLX are to report earnings this week which could impact the price of $BTC drastically. $TSLA, Apple $AAPL, and the S&P500 $SPY are mirror images of each other right now. None of them look bullish. Global economic shifts due to the Russian x Ukraine war are likely to dent the share prices of the companies that make up the majority of $SPY this season. Must we also mention that there is supposedly a high-rate hike coming in May? Or that Russia will likely use tactical nukes in Ukraine soon? If Russia does use tactical nukes, we expect markets to fall-out temporarily. World War III talks will be the buzz that drives the markets down for the proceeding days or weeks until a resolution is found. Afterwards, the market will be on the receiving end of a relief rally. These are simply our current thoughts and opinions, and they are subject to change... Happy investing! If you want to see more, please like and follow us @SimplyShowMeTheMoney

$TSLA: Conservative ApproachLots of attention with Elon Musk regarding TWTR; therefore, TSLA is also reacting. I'd say be a little conservative on TSLA and keep in mind how the broader markets are behaving -- not just on a small time frame like 1-5 minutes. Yes, it may be a fantastic company with a great product, brilliant leader, etc.; however, as technicians we need to focus on 'what is happening' in the now without the human biased emotions of thinking what the company 'could be' or 'could not be' in the future. Does it fall today? That is up to the markets. Keep focused on what the broader markets are doing so you don't get stuck holding the bag due to 'thoughts and theories' forecasted 5-15 years from now. Never know, we could see that retail trader/investor spike at the open (FOMO chasing the price up) and trend lower the rest of the day. This doesn't go for just TSLA, but broader implications. Trade Smart; Live to Trade Another Day!

Short-term bearish reversal in play for TWTRAfter the monster 25% rally in pre-market earlier today, TWTR has now reached a key resistance zone around $49 per share. We are seeing strong selling pressure occurring on above-average volume, which apart from profit taking from the Longs, also comes from the VWAP resistance line anchored all the way back to the huge downside gap for the stock on April,30th 2021. This is the first test of that level since the current bearish trend for the stock began back in late October last year. Thus, we believe that there is a high volume of pending SELL orders around that VWAP line, which will put heavy pressure on the price. In addition to that, we also expect to see a substantial pick up in the VIX in the coming sessions, which will put further pressure on stocks that have overextended themselves to the upside in recent sessions. Since the market opened today we've had a pin bar forming on the 45 min chart followed by an inside bar after that. This is a typical and reliable bearish reversal signal, that we believe could send the price sub $45 in the near term. We will keep our Stop Losses tight at $51.18, in case the stock makes another push higher, even though that from what we are seeing this is unlikely to happen. Good luck! Kind regards, Dow Experts Finance

Long Tesla after Musk's speachTesla, before reaching next highs at around 1190$, can retrace until the first area, that we can visualize in the green rectangle, that covers the price range of 940-1000$. In addition, the bearish divergence upon the CCI oscillator can accelerate the price retracement. The 200 average shows how the long term is still bullish and Tesla could be above it for the next days confirming its strength. From a fundamental point of view, the company estimates to sell more cars than the previous quarter although the electric cars industry has faced a serious issue in supplying chain.

Next Shiba InuLast year, Shiba Inu ( SHIB -1.71% ) became an sensation in the crypto community. The meme token went viral in early October after Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk tweeted a picture of Floki, his adorable Shiba Inu puppy. In doing so, Musk inadvertently helped send the token's price soaring. In fact, despite falling sharply from its late-October high, Shiba Inu still generated a return of over 42,000,000% in 2021. However, the meme token is now down 75% from its peak, so many investors are hunting for the next Shiba Inu. Unfortunately, very few (if any) assets produce such extraordinary returns in a century, let alone a single year. But there are still plenty of compelling investment ideas in the crypto market. For instance, the Internet Computer ( ICP -0.66% ) is a blockchain project that seeks to decentralize the internet and disrupt the cloud computing industry. And with the ICP coin down 98% from its high, this crypto could generate tremendous wealth over the next 20 years.

First Bullish signs on Daily Bitcoin charthellllo everybody, hope your doing very well x After a really good rally late last week and more buying this week we finally have some closing candles above $40k Our lovely indicators are now showing bullish sentiment and bitcoin looks ready to make some solid gains over the month, expect a bit of divergence to pull down the price but if $40k holds I'm pretty confident were back in the bulltard ring fibs are there as a guide and I prefer them upside down on a BTC retracement, no big calls/longs going on which is also good to see, and health for the price to move up further once/if we get to the ATH then ill make another chart with revised levels for some good exit strategies/prices, I'm seeing a downturn before April possible so we might have a few months to run up against inflating fiat nightmare were being led into - i'd like to see $46k broken and held to make things even more certain, this market can go up as fast as it goes down, let's hope its an exciting ride after some shitty few years regarding tyrant bent politicians - lots of fundamentals going towards the effort here too but can always turn and mess up our profit party x remember, nothing happens by chance x don't stay lucky, take the right opportunities instead

$COIN this trains about to depart 👁‍🗨*This is not financial advice, so trade at your own risks* *My team digs deep and finds stocks that are expected to perform well based off multiple confluences* *Experienced traders understand the uphill battle in timing the market, so instead my team focuses mainly on risk management* The market overall has reached its next buy zone. My team is loading up shares of companies that we believe will surely benefit within a small interval of 34 trading days. Some of these trades will be swing, others will be held long-term. Crypto exchange company Coinbase $COINBASE is looking to be a safe bet despite the ongoing crypto space controversy. The company is still fresh out the womb, and there are obviously risks involved with newly traded companies, but $COIN is already displaying stronger than usual fundamentals, and we believe that gives its huge potential. My team entered $COIN Friday afternoon at $230 per share. Our first take profit is $250 BUY ORDER: $230 TAKE PROFIT 1: $250 TAKE PROFIT 2: $277 TAKE PROFIT 3: $299 If you want to see more, please like and follow us @SimplyShowMeTheMoney

If $BTC remains in this state before Tuesday, then we will change our sentiment to bearish. What we WANT to see happen within the next 48 hours is Bitcoin retesting support at $40,500. A bounce off $40,500 and we will remain bullish for the week ahead. The candle for the week of Jan 10th needs to end in the red for the weekly candle of Jan 17th to be green.

Elon Musk Pauses Holiday To MARS?How would you feel if Tesla crashed 60-80% in 2022? Shocked. Denial. Resistance. Anger. Panic. Something BIG is coming, it has been building for a while but NOW it is time. This quarter begins one of the biggest stock market crashes in history! What will cause this? Military takeover perhaps? Ignore me, I'm just a crazy autist trader. I do have some advice for Elon however, cancel your trip to mars, all the money you are spending on rockets will be needed to save Tesla soon enough. Stop smoking the wacky backy, talking DOGE and get back to work helping change the world. Do you think Tesla will crash over 60% this year? I read every reply. - Ninja
