Good morning allegedly squad, this is your friendly former senior financial analyst tom, currently a full-time youtuber, and in today's video we absolutely have to talk about the news that came out out of palantir, as well as some truths and explanations and facts to diffuse the fud about The whole michael berry put in the tesla story that mainstream video completely blew out of proportion completely fought. I'm gon na talk about this in a second, but before we do that we got ta. First, let you know not to click, nothing not to smash. Nothing! Don't subscribe to nothing, don't buy nothing.

In fact, i don't have anything to sell no courses. No! Nothing just give me your attention for the next five minutes and i'm going to give you some incredible news about palantir as well as some clarification, explanation and facts about the whole michael berry put option on tesla. There's a lot to talk about here. So you know it was just another day for me.

Just started kind of normal. I just woke up brushed my teeth. Did my 45 minutes screaming meditation? Then i met my grandpa for breakfast. We talked about all the american satellites that are spying on him.

In any case, and then i actually saw the news - and i literally fell off - my chair volunteer - is going berserk. In fact, we had some incredible news. So over the past few days we had a lot of 13 f's which are disclosures that have been filed. That reveal a lot of positions in palliative that you did not expect also yesterday and shout out to kathy wood for posting daily updates about her funds, kathy wood and the ark.

Invest funds publish their trades every single day, sales buys everything is published every single day. So you get to see what's going on in the archives funds, and yesterday we saw something incredible. Cathy wood and rk bought 750 000 shares of patentee again now i sound like dj khaled at this point, but this is nothing short of incredible. She bought 15 million dollars worth of palantir stock just yesterday, and that means that currently, the ark invest.

Funds who literally had zero pallent shares in october 2020. Seven months later, are sitting on 550 million worth of pallet issues, half a billion dollars of palliative. That makes it one of the top holdings in her funds and if you remember, she always said that if defeat hit the shin she's going to be consolidating to the companies she believes most in now, panettiere is currently ranked number 14 in rk and number 19 or 18 in the rw fund, which definitely indicates to me that palantir is one of those companies kathy was referring to that's one of her top companies and she's buying the dip like crazy, and obviously it wasn't a surprise for me. I personally think that this is a bargain sale at twenty dollars.

This company is going places, but again just my opinion might be inaccurate might be wrong, might be the remnants of madman. You got ta, do your own research, allegedly blah blah blah, but again, if you did any research on palantir, you could see this company at this price makes a lot of sense in my opinion, now check this out. Even if you just ignore that the whole biden legislation makes this into a very attractive option, because biden just recently came out with the whole cyber security plan. He's definitely been talking about securing a us-based logistics supply chain for various stuff like semiconductors and whatnot.

A lot of stuff that aligned with what palantir is doing are coming out out of the bite administration, so this campaign just makes a lot of sense. However, i'm not the only one who thinks that neither does kathy now you heard me say that kevin already bought six million dollars worth of parental shares, which was nice to hear, but nothing bombastic. No. Yesterday we heard something incredible so yesterday we saw this tweet from will mead, probably the greatest hedge fund manager, who ever lived stanley brooke miller, takes a brand new position in palantir, almost 6 million shares or 140 million dollars.

Now you can argue: if stanley is the greatest hedge fund manager who ever lived, i mean he managed a lot of money about 12 billion dollars. He then managed money for george soros and, by the way, george soros just left pilot here. This guy just bought in very interesting now for all of you with the pitchforks and everything chillax he's not a hedge fund manager anymore. He quit his stuff.

He actually shot it down years ago because he basically was burned out now he's actually just managing his own money. He has a family office, meaning it's his own actual money with about 4 billion of iom and that family office just bought 140 million of valencia shares out of the blue. That's how we know it because of the 13s, which i mentioned earlier, meaning now it's a four percent position, a brand new position coming in at four percent for this family office and again stanley druken miller. You can talk about the fact that he's the greatest or he's one of the greatest he's, definitely one of the best in the business and, as you can see on the screen.

This is the breakdown of the family office now with valentier, and, as you can see right here, planet is about 3.6. I was a little bit off now. This is a brand new position: 140 million another dude with a lot of accomplishments, with a lot of track record, basically telling you hey, i'm betting heavily on this gun. Now, for the second part of the video, we absolutely have to talk about the michael berry put option on tesla and the whole thought that went around it.

I made a video explaining to you why i don't think it was a play against tesla and a lot of you have been banging on my door, basically commenting well if he put a put on tesla. Essentially that means he's betting. It's a company, not necessarily. Let me explain in detail what i meant, because i want you to understand this.

It's not about fud or saying mikey. Berry is a hero or a villain. It's just about facts. So michael berry did a play here.

That has to do everything with the inflationary effects of the economy. Now i know that sounds complicated, but let me explain because a lot of you have been saying well, if this is a play against inflation, why tesla? That's because he thinks tesla is trash right, not necessarily. Now i don't know what michael berry really thinks of tesla. I don't live in his brain, unlike some other people.

However, i do know that this specific put option doesn't indicate one way or the other if he hates or likes tesla, just on a standalone basis, because the thing is he needed to pick one company to put that bet on and he picked tesla for a good Reason not because the company's trash, because it has all the characteristics of meeting that term. What does this mean? Let me explain when you fear higher inflation rates. Essentially, what you're fearing is higher interest rates, because the only way for the fed to battle inflation is to increase interest rates and what happens when you increase the interest rates? The discounted cash flow evaluation models actually take a massive hit because their discount rate actually has to go up along with that interest. Now, the further your gains are the more you're affected by an increase in the discount rate, because you bring it back more years into the present.

That's why you saw all the tech companies that are not google or facebook that have a lot of upside in the future. Take a massive hit right now. What he needed to do is to find the best candidate, the best company, to represent that, and he needed a company with a lot of upside in the future, but also a lot of this upside actually priced in today, which means a discrepancy. A high share price.

Today, with the actual upside way way way in the future, so essentially in that case, you'd create the biggest amount of delta between the present value and the future value. If the interest rates or the discount rates will jump higher. I hope that makes sense, so he could have picked palantir for that example as well, because they meet the same criteria. However, i think he doesn't really know enough about valentine to make that call, and obviously he knows enough about tesla to know where the price is and where the future is so he made a play on the economical or the rather microeconomical effects of inflation.

That has nothing to do with tesla. He may hate it, he may like it. I don't know, but this specific put option means nothing about tesla as far as what he thinks the company is, in fact, he thinks that he has a lot of upside. Otherwise, this bet doesn't make any sense and there's one more thing.

We absolutely have to clarify and, of course, mainstream media made a mess out of it because they absolutely love the number 500 million and i've used it as well. However, when you say 500 million bet, what they represented to their public is that he put cash money, 500 million against tesla, which means his conviction rate - must be abde wazoo right, however, and that needs to be clarified and if you can share this video with people Who need to hear this because the 500 million by the 540 is the total value of the 800 000 shares his pudding or is rather option? Putting whatever you want to call it option? Pudding sounds so tasty. I wish i had some options putting i'm hungry and since i don't really know what the strike price is and what the premium is, i can only guess that the actual cash is risking if this put doesn't pan out or didn't pan out, because we also don't Know how long this thing is, which is still a lot of money, but it's definitely not 500 million cash money that he actually risked now. You're gon na hear a lot of people speculate and throw out numbers.

Well, we think it's 20. 24. 20. 25.

300. 200. 150, whoever based on the action there's no way to know. What's the strike price, there's no way to know the date, there's no way to know the premium other than calling michael himself and asking him, which i can do right now check it out.

Hey mike. Can you tell us what the strike price was on that hello, hello, mother lover? I guess it's busy right now. Anyways, jokes aside, nobody really knows now there's a lot of other comments in my comment, section, which i absolutely find amusing people saying. Well, let's short, squeeze michael berry, mother lover, you can short squeeze put option.

It's a put option. It's not too short and just to clarify how serious i am and that i'm not joking. There is no way to short squeeze a put option: don't do it you're gon na lose a lot of money. In fact, you have a higher probability to short squeeze and options, putting the one you eat rather than sure, squeezing this option don't do it don't buy into this hype beyond the fact that i think that michael berry probably knows what he's doing and if i had To guess he's probably out of this option, even though i don't know i'm just guessing, they probably made a few seconds.

Why not, i think, he's a smart dude, but it has nothing to do with what tesla is and will be in the future. So all you tesla haters, i know you're salty. You lost 40 billion dollars on the most shorted company in 2020. However, factually speaking, this thing is nothing but a blimp on tesla's radar again shout out to all the channel members and the patrons.

Thank you so much for staying with us. So far i'll see you guys in the next video.
