BREAKING: Robinhood announces that they have filed with the SEC to launch Robinhood Ventures Fund I (RVI), a concentrated portfolio of innovative private companies leading their industries.

It looks like Robinhood is going to IPO a fund that allows retail to invest in the best private companies... “For decades, wealthy people and institutions have invested in private companies while retail investors have been unfairly locked out. With Robinhood Ventures, everyday people will be able to invest in opportunities once reserved for the elite,” said Robinhood Chairman and CEO Vlad Tenev. Source: amit @amitisinvesting

Donald Trump has called for US companies to stop reporting quarterly results

He added that a shift to publishing figures twice a year will save them cash and allow executives to focus on their businesses. The US president issued his call in a post on his Truth Social network on Monday, contrasting standard practice in the US with what he depicted as China’s more long-term approach. Most publicly listed US companies are required to file quarterly and annual financial filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, known respectively as 10-Q and 10-K disclosures. “Subject to SEC Approval, Companies and Corporations should no longer be forced to ‘Report’ on a quarterly basis . . . but rather to Report on a ‘Six (6) Month Basis’,” Trump said. “This will save money, and allow managers to focus on properly running their companies.” Source: FT

Markets Up, Morale Down: A Summer of Disbelief by JC Parets, CMT

Throughout the summer, investors were wrong about stocks. And it was one of the greatest summers in stock market history. Below is the futures positioning among asset managers and hedge funds: the blue line represents the S&P 500, and the lighter green line shows you how underinvested they've been. They sold into the hole and never got the chance to get back in. This was a textbook V-bottom, and they're still not back in. This is one of those things that can help keep a bid underneath the market. Source: J-C Parets
