âRobinhood out here doing God's work and saving people from themselves.â Jason
Hey there carnivores,
Markets bounced back to start the week, in hopes that the Fed will lower interest rates this month.
Today weâre talking a little financial stimulation.
Keep raging,
Jeff & Jason

Don't Call it a Comeback
The finance gods answered market participantâs prayers.
Stocks rebounded after their worst week since the financial crisis. The markets fired on all cylinders largely [due to rising expectations]( that the Federal Reserve would cut rates in its upcoming meeting and additional quantitative easing may occur around the globe.
The Dow had its largest one day point gain in history, rising nearly 1.3k, and had its largest percentage increase (5.1%) since â08. Sup Hank Paulson. The Nasdaq and S&P both rose at least 4.5% as well, having their best days since 2018.
China data
Manufacturing data came out of the Peopleâs Republic, where Chinaâs PMI, which measures economic trends in manufacturing, [came in at 40.3](. For reference⦠a score of 50 shows expansion, so justttt a bit outside.
Its PMI level even dropped as low as 35.7 in February, showing the economic impact that the coronavirus has had on the worldâs second-largest economy. Canât work with a little cold?
The negative economic data from across the Pacific actually had a positive impact on trading, as investors suspect that Chinaâs lowest PMI level ever will invoke some intervention from the Peopleâs Bank of China, and likely from other central banks around the globe. Looking at you, Jay Pow.
The bottom line...
FinTwit lost its collective sh*t yesterday ... and not because it bought the f*ckin dip on Friday. The Robinhood app that has captured the hearts of millennials [experienced a system-wide outage](, which took up most of the trading day and at the time of writing had still not been resolved.
Itâs likely that the higher than normal trading volumes were the cause for the crash, as some clients that used Fidelity, Charles Schwab, and TD Ameritrade reported issues last week during Tuesdayâs 800+ point drop of the Dow. Turns out free trades are only good when you can actually submit them.

âï¸Bailing. Heading my way? Waymo, Alphabetâs self-driving car project, got a little help from its friends for the first time in its 11-year history. Help came in the form of a [$2.25B investment]( from external investors. See what happens when you just ask? The round, announced Monday, was led by Silver Lake, who was joined by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Abu Dhabiâs Mubadala Investment Co.
Alphabet, the Google-parent, has kept its investments in Waymo to date close to the vest, and will still be the majority owner. Waymo has said it will use the investment to add positions to the firm, which already employs 1,500 people, and build out the delivery service, Waymo Via.
âï¸ In DAZN. John Skipperâs been busy since leaving ESPN. The Worldwide leadersâ former CEO is planning to take his new sports-streaming service, DAZN (pronounced âda zoneâ), on a world tour. The boxing focused service is [prepared]( to launch a global edition that will be available in more than 200 countries around the world. And will somehow still have its pay-per-view fights illegally streamed by poor college kids.
Skipper is making the first move to garner an international audience, something Disneyâs ESPN+ has yet to do, as itâs still primarily focused in the US. Currently, DAZN is available in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Japan, Brazil and Canada, much like coronavirus.
âï¸ Makinâ music. Spotify is ready to flex on the music industry. The streaming service is shaking down record labels and artists in order to have their songs advertised through Spotifyâs app. The selling point, if you ask Spotify, is that artists will be able to reach new fans and gain popularity. The downside, if you ask artists and labels, is that they barely make any money from Spotify, to begin with.
The new service, [called Marquee](, sends those sweet, sweet notifications to users when artists drop new music, and a number of artists have already taken the plunge. Justin Bieber and Lilâ Wayne have already tested the waters, and you can bet there will be more to come if they donât want their music buried at the bottom of Spotifyâs endless library.
âï¸ Shaking things up. Rajeev Suri is disconnecting, as the Nokia CEO announced heâd be [stepping down]( on Monday. Suri will hand the reins over to Pekka Lundmark on September 1st, and Lundmark will be tasked with righting the ship. Part of the exit package included unlimited lives in Snake.
Nokia has been in the trenches with Ericsson and Huawei as it races to support 5G technology. In November, it saw a 20% stock price drop after it told investors it would be halting dividends to put more resources into its 5G efforts. Those investors love their dividends, donât they?
