We firmly believe financial The Making of a Financial Flash Mob literacy helps people make better decisions. Who doesn’t love the story of David’s triumph over Goliath? This past week a group of “small” investors made tremendous amounts of money (on paper at least) by buying stocks that were heavily shorted by large, sophisticated hedge funds. We explore what happened, factors that spurred the market disruption, the subsequent fallout still unfolding, and finally, what it all means going forward. What Happened? First, it’s important to understand three concepts - short selling, call options, and a short squeeze. If an investor wants to profit from a stock declining in value, they can short the stock. Most understand the concept of buying stock, but shorting is more complicated. Shorting involves selling a stock that you don’t own. So, how do you sell something that you don’t own? The answer is - you borrow the stock through your brokerage firm, and you must put up money to do so. The broker requires that you maintain a balance large enough to repurchase the borrowed stock at any time. Therein lies the risk. If you buy a stock, the most you can lose is the amount you paid. In other words, the value of your investment can only go to zero. If you short a stock, however, there is no limit to the amount you can lose.

  • After the Storm: Unmasking Publicly-Traded, Private Equity Firms to Create Value Through Shareholder Democracy
    10 10 GOMBERG.DOCX 3/18/2010 5:03 PM AFTER THE STORM: UNMASKING PUBLICLY-TRADED, PRIVATE EQUITY FIRMS TO CREATE VALUE THROUGH SHAREHOLDER DEMOCRACY Trevor M. Gomberg* I. INTRODUCTION On June 21, 2007, The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”), a prominent private equity firm, conducted its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 133.3 million shares of “common units representing limited partner interests,” raising $4.133 billion from public investors.1 Within two weeks of Blackstone’s IPO, Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”), another reputable private equity firm, filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), intending to raise cash from the public markets.2 Investment banks and journalists reacted in an overwhelmingly positive way to Blackstone’s IPO. Wall Street analysts “positively gushed” over the prospect of Blackstone trading publicly; the strength of its portfolio holdings makes the firm a great investment.3 “Wall Street firms rushed in to advise investors to buy, buy, buy . [as] most of the underwriters came out with positive ratings.”4 Analysts in particular noted Blackstone’s ability to remain profitable even during down markets.5 With a stellar reputation and analyst praise, the IPO may have a far-reaching impact on an industry thrust in the spotlight. * J.D. 2009, cum laude, Albany Law School.

The Costs of Shareholder Activism: Evidence from a Sequential Decision Model Abstract Recent work on hedge fund activism documents substantial abnormal returns but fails to answer the question whether these returns cover the large costs of activist campaigns. This paper provides benchmarks for monitoring costs and evaluates the net returns to activism. I model activism as a sequential decision process consisting of demand negotiations, board representation and proxy contest and estimate the costs of each distinct stage. A campaign ending in a proxy fight has average costs of $10.71 million. The proxy contest is the most expensive stage, followed by demand negotiations. The estimated monitoring costs consume more than two-thirds of gross activist returns implying that the net returns to activism are significantly lower than previously thought. Even though the mean net return is close to zero, the top quartile of activists earn higher returns on their activist holdings than on their non- activist investments.

  • Cecilia Diaz Critical/Cultural Methods Dr. Bob Bednar 4/8//21
    Cecilia Diaz Critical/Cultural Methods Dr. Bob Bednar 4/8//21 Research Project Draft Protests in the name of social reform have recently undergone drastic transformations in how they are founded and manifested. The ascension of social media use in the early 2000s gave rise to streamlined instant communication between people that otherwise may have never communicated organically. History has proven that we gather together in times of hardship and join forces when those hardships necessitate change and reform. The internet eliminates the practical issue of distance and facilitates the possibility of an infinite number of formed communities. In the case of protest, it facilitates the ability to organize and gather to demand social and political change. Sebastián Valenzuela suggests that one explanation for use of social networks and political protest may be online expression as a foundation for action. It is stated, “In addition to cognitive preparation, the expression of opinions can be facilitators of political protest” (Valenzuela, 2014). Research has shown that when individuals talk about political subjects publicly, they are more likely to mobilize and engage in political activities. The expression “allows people to face their ideas, make arguments, and reflect on the information obtained” (Schmitt-Beck, 2008). Platforms like Twitter and Facebook have acted as multiplexes for the expression of political views and serve as the foundation for many modern protests such as the Black Lives Matter movement, #MeToo, Arab Spring, and the Sunflower Student Movement. The protest this study will focus on is unique in that it was not founded as a politically driven protest but became one, or perhaps more accurately, was received as one as it gained popularity in mainstream media publics.

  • Reddit Users Unite to Buy Gamestop Shares and Turn Stock Market World Upside Down
    Reddit Users Unite To Buy GameStop Shares and Turn Stock Market World Upside Down Pdf Published On January 30, 2021 06:19 AM Kyle Murphy | January 30, 2021 06:19:02 AM 0 What happens when an online chatroom convinces everyone in it to buy one stock simultaneously? Individual investors win and hedge funds lose big and people who have been trading stocks in suits rage at those trading stocks from their phones. The stock market saw just that with GameStop over the past few weeks. On Jan. 15, GameStop was valued at $35 but on Jan 28 it was valued at $469.42. This astronomical increase has been tied to a Reddit Forum, Wall Street Bets, whose users learned that Melvin Capital “shorted” GameStop, betting that the stock price would fall, and people in the forum decided that they would buy the stock so that Melvin Capital would lose their money. This initial reaction set off a chain of events that will most likely be remembered for a long time. The stock price of GameStop has since gone on a wild ride that has all media outlets glued to this constantly developing story. On Tuesday, the stock opened at $88.28 but closed the day at $145.96; by the closing bell on Wednesday it rose all the way to $345. The stock's peak on Thursday was $469.42 before trading companies like Robinhood took away the option to buy GameStop stock, causing the stock to temporarily plummet all the way down to $132 by 11:30 a.m on Thursday.
