SEC Says Tesla’s Musk Broke Securities Laws, Allows Him to Retain CEO Role
Image Source: SEC_News via Twitter. The SEC may have set a dangerous precedent in settling with Musk and allowing him to remain CEO. Musk and Tesla will also pay a monetary fine and add more independence to the boardroom as a result of the entrepreneur’s alleged market-manipulating behavior conducted through Twitter. We don’t think Tesla, a company with just $50 billion market capitalization and makes no money, is too big to fail. Musk’s settlement with the SEC is a sweetheart deal, and one that now has the stock soaring. Sep 28, 2018
In the News: Tesla’s Musk Charged with Securities Fraud; Facebook’s Security Issue
We continue to stay as far away from Tesla as possible. The company’s stock could still crater even more. It does not have a firm foundation at all. Facebook, despite being under continuous and tremendous scrutiny, is operating on a firm foundation, however. We continue to like shares of the social media giant, despite a recently-disclosed security problem. The more Facebook beefs up security and augments its platform, the bigger its competitive advantages become, as the entry costs for new entrants become even more insurmountable. Sep 26, 2018

Starbucks Facing New Era of Challenges?
There are core problems lurking at Starbucks, in our view, and the idea that the chain will triple the number of company-owned store closings in US markets in fiscal 2019, to 150 (from 50, on average, in prior years), is rather telling that something’s not quite right, regardless of whether it may be too-high of prices, changing consumer preferences (millennials), increasing competition (McDonald’s, Dunkin’ Donuts), oversaturation in densely-penetrated markets--or a combination of all of the above.
