Still makes more sense than WeWork's "community adjusted ebitda"

Precisely why everyone that got burnt on that doomed IPO, had it coming.

WeWork never went public. It was in trouble last Fall and was withdrawn.

OK - misunderstood your post.

Why the dislike of Masayoshi Son and/or the Vision Fund?

No worries Paul.

I believe that their due diligence process is a joke, and they’re making dubious investment decisions.

Look at the amounts he’s thrown into some really questionable and frankly ridiculous ventures like the robot pizza thing or the dog walking guys - and there’s more. Plus I’ve seen what they’re doing with Oyo and that’s going to be another WeWork if it’s not already. And stories from the previous CEO’s circle, who exited a few years ago after a falling out with Son and Mishra.

You’re probably right about the due diligence part.

I did startups within my corporate employer - even with the best vetting we batted .250 on new ventures. Emerging tech and Gig economy will prolly bat beneath that. Maybe 1 in 20 will be Babe Ruth.

So you just spread the investment pool around and see which green shoots grow and which wither away.

I do agree that WeWork was a bet that didn’t play out.

Well said.

I missed buying the dip on the SoftBank stock, that hurts LOL
