In this week's episode of Reformed Millennials, we're talking about what the vaccine means to stocks and investor sentiment. We also chat a bit about how to better understand probability and the polling system and the Supreme sale to Vans/North Face.If you’re at all interested in some market clarity around stock rotation out of tech and into value, I highly recommend you tune in for the first half of this one.Listen on Apple, Spotify, or Google Podcasts.If you aren’t in the Reformed Millennials Facebook Group join us for daily updates, discussions, and deep dives into the investable trends Millennials should be paying attention to.👉 For specific investment questions or advice contact Joel @ Gold Investment Management.🦠Did Pfizer Find a Cure?🦠Pfizer and BioNTech announced its COVID vaccine candidate is 90% effective.Pzifer is seeking an emergency distribution license ASAP. Vaccine trials will still continue through December, though.The pharmaceutical company has already begun manufacturing the vaccine and expects to provide 1.3B doses globally in 2021.Here’s Reuters with more.Notable physician and investor Michael Burry shared this:Pfizer's COVID vaccine is 90% effective, perhaps. Let's put that in perspective. Not only would it achieve "herd immunity" as defined by the pessimists, but it is far better than our annual flu vaccine. I'd take it in a second.$PFE popped 8%From the CNN Article:The Pfizer vaccine uses a never-before-approved technology called messenger RNA, or mRNA, to produce an immune response in people who are vaccinated."What we know right now -- it is with a very, very high level of confidence these are very highly effective vaccines. What we know so far, it means that we don't have any safety concerns, but we need to wait until the results are there," Bourla said."Who will get this vaccine? We have two separate manufacturing lines. One is in the US," Bourla said. "Those we prefer using mainly for Americans."Bourla added that the second line in Europe will be used to produce vaccines for the rest of the world. "We have already signed contracts with multiple governments in the world and they have placed orders," Bourla said.The vaccine will be free to all American citizens.🐣Alberta Oil and the Supply/Demand Problem🐥Trump's pro-fracking position is and always has been BAD for Alberta Oil.But Canada has already started to try and protect the Keystone XL deal groundwork laid by Trump and his administration.Wary Alberta eyes fate of Keystone XL - From RBCA Biden administration has pledged to re-enter the Paris climate agreement and take a more aggressive role in policies to curb greenhouse gas emissions. As part of his environmental plan, Biden has pledged to revoke permits for the U.S. portion of the long-delayed Keystone XL pipeline project. But the overall outlook for oil production looks a lot different than it did a few years ago, when President Trump approved the project. Canadian oil & gas investment has never recovered from the 2015 oil-price collapse, and was running 80% below 2014 levels as of Q2 2020. The Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion project (now owned by the federal government) and Enbridge’s Line 3 expansion are both moving ahead. Although all three pipelines are probably not needed in the near-term, further delays in building pipeline capacity would be yet another disappointment for Alberta – particularly given the provincial government’s significant financial stake in the Keystone XL. Biden has also signaled he will seek to re-enter the Iran nuclear deal, which could marginally lower the price of oil. But he’s likely to take a more hawkish regulatory approach to U.S. domestic oil & gas production, which at the margin could improve the relative attractiveness of investment in the Canadian energy sector.📃Misunderstanding Probability🌍By Morgan HouselThe idea that something can be likely and not happen, or unlikely and still happen, is one of the world’s most important tricks. But let me tell you about a common problem. I’m as guilty of it as anyone else.It’s that most people understand probability, but few actually believe in it.Most people get that certainties are rare, and the best you can do is make decisions where the odds are in your favor. They understand you can be smart and end up wrong, or dumb and end up right, because that’s how luck and risk work.But almost no one actually uses probability in the real world, especially when judging others’ success.Most of what people care about is, “Were you right or wrong?”Probability is about nuance and gradation. But in the real world people pay attention to black and white.If you said something will happen and it happens, you were right.If you said it will happen and it doesn’t, you’re wrong.That’s how people think, because it doesn’t take much effort to think about it?🌊 Hottest Links We Read Last Week 🌊Market definitions and tech monopolies. Does Amazon have 40% market share, or 10%? Does Apple have 15%, or 80%? Does Google worry more about Bing or Tiktok? It depends, and it's complicated, but this is a basic building block for all the coming antitrust cases. Link (Benedict Evans)Ants climbing trees. By far the biggest tech story this week: China halted/postponed/kyboshed the IPO of Ant Financial, the spin-off of Alibaba's Alipay mobile payment giant, which was due to list this week raising $37bn at a valuation of $316bn. It appears that the main reason was a speech by Jack Ma that was insufficiently respectful of regulators. Pour encourager les autres. LinkTwitter and Trump. Once it was 'the free speech wing of the free-speech party', but Twitter hid half of Trump's posts behind 'misinformation' labels this week. As I wrote last week, we are having to work out what we think about this very quickly. Part of Trump's model was to bypass the conventional media's enforcement of norms by going direct, but now those norms are spreading to social platforms as well. Meanwhile, Parler, which is essentialy 'Twitter for people banned from Twitter', went to the top of the US App Store chart. LinkGoogle VPN? Google is launching a VPN service on Android, as part of a subscription service. This does help security (on shared wifi), but also raises a privacy issue, since now Google sees your usage (remember Facebook's Onavo?). Google promises it won't analyse your data, but it's not clear if this still gives visibility into overall traffic flows. LinkApple Silicon. Apple has another product event Today (tuesday), almost certainly to launch the first Macs using its own custom-designed chips. As announced in the summer, Apple is moving from Intel to its own silicon on the same ARM architecture as iOS devices - a hugely impressive piece of engineering execution. Expect battery life and performance jumps, and perhaps new form factors and touch screens. Link Get on the email list at www.reformedmillennials.com
In this week's episode, we're talking about the upcoming US election and how the “k shaped recovery” is effecting voters’ expectations, the business of influencers/content creators, and why you need to understand them as the present, and future business owners. Lastly, we touch on the BOOMING IPO market and why it’s not 1999 all over again. This is a great episode if you want some hot takes on where to focus your efforts in regards to content creation and influencer marketing.Listen on Apple, Spotify, or Google Podcasts.If you aren’t in the Reformed Millennials Facebook Group join us for daily updates, discussions, and deep dives into the investable trends Millennials should be paying attention to.👉 For specific investment questions or advice contact Joel @ Gold Investment Management.💃 Influencers. Marketing. Creators. - Why They Matter And How They Make Money 🕺MORE THAN EVER, WE BUY THE PERSON, THEN THE PRODUCT. BUT WHAT PRODUCTS DO WE BUY?That depends on the focus of the creator/influencer, but also the model leveraged. As the creator economy develops, new approaches to monetization are emerging. The framework below outlines the three primary ways creators leverage their audience to build wealth:promoting other people’s products,selling their own products, andinvesting in their audience or alongside them1. PROMOTELike traditional media businesses, creators have profited from ad dollars. Platforms that solve distribution like Instagram and YouTube have made this viable, as creators are able to capture attention and monetize it in the same place.The straightforwardness of this model allows it to succeed across mediums. Newsletters like Morning Brew, The Hustle, and Not Boring ensure no cost is directly borne by consumers by making space for sponsors. Podcasts like Revisionist History and My Favorite Murder earn their millions plugging Casper mattresses, without requiring customer payment.2. SELLBetter infrastructure has enabled creators to sell their own products, both digital and physical. This changes how creators interact with the first wave platforms described above, using them as lead-generation to monetize elsewhere. It also allows for greater imagination — instead of spending time courting advertisers and pondering how to best sell a pair of jeans, creators can devote time to improving or expanding upon the content fans enjoy.Think of the following as facilitators:- Patreon,- Gumroad,- Substack,- OnlyFans,- ShopifyListen to the episode to hear us talk more in-depth on the topic… and to hear some examples of the 3rd prong.🐣IPO’s ARE BOOMING🐥IPO Fever is absolutely happening but the 1999 comparisons are inappropriate… for now.Below is a chart from Ari Wald at Oppenheimer to show the difference between today’s IPO market and 1999/2000.📃Politics🗞️“K” Shaped Recovery? and the Chris SNL monologue:What has developed is more like a K. On the upper arm of the K are well-educated and well-off people, businesses tied to the digital economy or supplying domestic necessities, and regions such as tech-forward Western cities. By and large, they are prospering.*On the bottom arm are lower-wage workers with fewer credentials, old-line businesses and regions tied to tourism and public gatherings. They can expect to bear years-long scars from the crisis*If the K-shaped recovery continues on its present course, the next Democratic nominee will basically be the ideological descendent of Che Guevara.** And the reaction on the right will be who knows what – but certainly something of an extreme in order to counter-balance.What’s going on right now in terms of economic inequality is so utterly unsustainable that it’s a miracle that every major city in America isn’t experiencing what Portland is.In Chris Rocks SNL skit he made the point that we may need to rethink the entire relationship Americans have with their government, in light of the fact that government seems not to be able to function anymore. Rock’s joke premise about how we have a Constitution instead of having a king – but that we’ve inadvertently created a class of Dukes and Dutchesses in Congress to represent poor people – is more reality than it is the setup for a joke. Especially when you consider how completely voiceless the working poor have become as a result of the current economic recovery leaving them even further behind.Black and Hispanic women held many of the restaurant, retail and hospitality jobs that were badly hit by lockdowns. Black women held 11.9% fewer jobs in September than in February, and Hispanic women held 12.9% fewer, according to the Labor Department. White men have been the group least affected, with 5.4% fewer jobs…By September, workers with bachelor’s degrees or higher had nearly fully recovered jobs lost in early spring. But those with just a high-school diploma held 11.7% fewer jobs in September than in February, according to Labor Department data, and high-school dropouts had 18.3% fewer. The two groups combined were down by 4.4 million jobs—amounting to around 40% of the employment that remains lost since the pandemic began—although they are only 27% of the labor force…Nearly 30% of white employees held jobs they could do from home in 2017 and 2018, according to the department, compared to 19.7% of Black workers and 16.2% of Hispanic workers did.The same Labor Department report found that 61.5% of the upper quarter of earners could work from home, compared with 9.2% of the bottom quarter.🌊 Interesting things and Hot Links From the Week 🌊Windows 95 launched 25 years ago this week.

Series - How to escape the $1-3 Million 'Nightmare Zone' to reclaim your business and personal life. Part Three - Profitability. Get your financial house in order. Guest - Rob Kropp From - Pravar Group Web - www.PravarGroup.com Rob and the team at Pravar Group run some seriously good business programs for trade businesses. Their speciality is taking businesses that are turning $2-3 million and taking them to the next stage. Over recent months, I've been getting to know Rob and Pravar Group and I love their complete dedication to helping businesses stay focused on the important metrics. Their attention to detail when it comes to understanding numbers is amazing. There are few businesses on earth that wouldn't benefit from the principles they teach and luckily for us, in this series, Rob goes above and beyond in helping us better understand three of the major obstacles that he says causes businesses to get stuck in what he calls, 'the $1-3 million nightmare zone'. Part One - Productivity. Be a master of it, not a slave to it Part Two - Performance. Leverage through effective people power Part Three - Profitability. Get your financial house in order If you love this podcast and live training, you'll certainly love these, also. Finance 101 for tradies - [LINK] Lack of focus on gross profit margin - [LINK] Get a grip on your financials - [LINK] About part three: Profitability. Get your financial house in order I don't know if you can relate to this, but I remember a number of years ago when I was starting out in business, I was so afraid of looking at my accounts that I simply wouldn't. It terrified the heck out of me. To the point where I'd just rather stick my head in the sand and forget about it. Over the years, I've learned how important it is to get a grip on your numbers. It's not always peachy, but that's business. We just need to take the good with the bad and make sure that we're putting enough away that we can make it through the 'flatter' periods. Rob is a finance guru. Coming from an accounting background, there is no one I know that is better qualified to educate on the topic of getting your finances in order. It makes up a huge part of the program that Rob teaches to his clients over at Pravar Group and I know if you get half as much out of this podcast as I did, it will make a HUGE difference to your business. Sadly, this episode marks the end of this epic series, however you can be sure that Rob will be involved with The Site Shed again.
