Abie From Brooklyn Chimes in On Market Structure

Dougie, Not often I feel I can point out something to you about markets’ structure that I did NOT see in your email re SKHynix posted on X last week:

At this moment, SKHYNIX ADRs are trading at $168 or $1680 per full SKHynix share. On http://trade.xyz, that same share is trading at $1281, a $400/share discount – the most likely reason being heavy selling by Wall St pros and their best clients who bought before IPO hype. Don’t be a sap $SKHY.

The amount of the “gap” between insiders and the public could not have been more clearly visible with the “real” SKHynix market nearly 25% below the ADR hyped AND manipulated (legally as IPO market stabilization to facilitate exit of the guys who make a living off FIFO in domestic IPO markets…they trade at the sucker IPO price but sell to the “stabilized price” profitably.) one. NOT to mention the underwriters shorting in the immediate aftermarket to more suckers…. there ought to be a Netflix series on this …

Subscriber Comment of the Day

ajfox777

I enjoy Doug’s diary and the comments. This is the first time posting for me.

The SPCX prospectus addresses the risk of a satellite to satellite collision and the ramifications but it does not appear to address another significant risk of micro-collisions. With the future value of SPCX tied to hundreds of thousands of satellites with large solar arrays put into low earth orbit it appears there is a foreseeable risk of micro debris hitting the solar panels producing more micro debris that grows logarithmically threatening all the satellites in low earth orbit (the Kessler affect). This appears to be something that should have been in the prospectus and something that is being ignored by the financial media. I have a few SPCX leap puts.

P.S. Thanks for making your first contribution to the Comments Section Foxy!

Boockvar on Waller, Treasury Yields

From Peter Boockvar

Chris Waller gives some forward guidance

Fed Governor Chris Waller is still ok with forward guidance. In a prepared speech just released he said “If we get another hot reading on core inflation this week, then the FOMC will need to consider tightening monetary policy in the near term.” The next meeting is in 2 weeks and is that ‘near term’? Sounds like it. As of this writing, the fed funds futures is now pricing in a 50% chance of a hike in a few weeks.

Treasury yields are at the highs of the day and see below the 2 yr yield response in particular intraday.
