(I am not. I'm on 50mg of sertraline and my ex is now a lesbian. But hear. Me. Out.) THE POSITION AND THE CONTEXT Alright you degenerates. I'm the Italian guy who is still holding 1200 JD.com shares, while you idiots keep asking me if I've sold yet. No. I haven't. Today I had the galaxy-brained idea to sell covered calls at $33 strike expiring Friday. This research started as a short thesis on Volkswagen. I wanted to find a reason to short $VOW3. What I found instead was a stock so cheap it made me question my entire understanding of markets, efficient pricing, and personal life choices - of which I've made several terrible ones. [PHARMACOLOGICAL DISCLOSURE: This research was conducted over approximately 3 weeks while on 50mg of sertraline and 3 grams of beta-Alanine daily, which means my risk appetite is chemically suppressed but still somehow includes covered calls on JD.] For those who don't know: Volkswagen makes cars. The Golf, the Tiguan, the Porsche, the Lamborghini, the Audi, the Skoda, the SEAT, the Bentley. Twelve brands. It is the largest automaker in Europe and one of the largest on earth by revenue. It is currently priced like a failing used car dealership in the suburbs of Dortmund… https://preview.redd.it/d9tgb2o2mfvg1.jpg?width=451&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e7c534207ffc92b3510d4773751f4649abe8618c THE BEAR CASE - WHAT VW ITSELF SAYS ABOUT WHY YOU'LL LOSE MONEY Let me ask the questions a real bear would ask. And let me answer them using VW's own words, because management is legally required to be honest in annual reports even when they'd really rather not be. What is the most likely way you lose money here? You lose money the boring way. Not a collapse. Not a Dieselgate 2.0. Just years of margin compression during a forced EV transition while you wait for a turnaround that always seems to be 'two years away.' "We operate in highly competitive global automotive markets and we anticipate that this competition will continue to intensify, resulting in sustained pricing pressure and an increased use of sales incentives by market participants." → Pricing power is eroding. If margins are 2.8% and stay there, every recession or product failure hits equity holders hard and fast. "On the other hand, the financial result is significantly weaker compared to the previous year. This is partly due to the ramp-up of lower-margin electric vehicles." → EVs are the future. EVs are also currently margin-dilutive. VW is in the middle of paying the transition tax. The question is whether it survives long enough to collect the reward. Operating margin in 2025: 2.8%. That's worse than the margin on a Footlong Sub. And Subway at least doesn't have to negotiate with IG Metall. Where is the business structurally weak? Three places. All painful. • Scale complexity. Too many brands, platforms, factories, and stakeholders. Change is slow and expensive. • Cyclicality. Autos are a macro product. When rates are high, financing costs rise and demand falls. • China exposure. The world's biggest auto market is now a warzone for VW. "[China's] fast-growing e-mobility market... is already dominated by high-volume domestic manufacturers... competitive pressure from local manufacturers will generally increase further." → BYD isn't competing with VW. BYD is eating VW's lunch, dinner, and is currently eyeing the breakfast leftovers. China went from VW's ATM to VW's biggest headache in about five years. [LIFESTYLE DISCLOSURE: LIFESTYLE DISCLOSURE: At this point in my research I had to pause because my Chinese consultant arrived. I find that high-quality primary research benefits from breaks. I resumed after approximately 7 minutes. She had thoughts on BYD. They were broadly bullish.] What assumptions need to go right.. and might not? The bull case requires ALL of the following simultaneously: • EV adoption grows fast enough to replace ICE profit pools before those pools evaporate. • Battery costs and supply chains stay stable. • VW executes software and electrification without multi-year delays. • The industry avoids a multi-year discount war in Europe AND China. "Research and development of our complex products, software and services entails considerable risk, including uncertainties regarding the widespread adoption by consumers and available infrastructure for such products." → VW is building expensive software-defined vehicles for an EV market that doesn't yet have the charging infrastructure in many of its most important markets. They're investing in the answer to a question the market hasn't fully asked yet. "more rapidly evolving customer requirements... swift introduction of legislative initiatives... and the market entry of new competitors... will require changed products at a faster pace of innovation as well as adjustments to business models and cost structures." → The bull case assumes VW can move like a tech startup. VW has 660,000 employees, three supervisory boards, a state government on the cap table, and a union that has been there since before your parents were born. What could permanently impair earnings? • A prolonged price war in Europe and China that permanently resets industry margins. • Geopolitics and trade barriers raising costs or blocking market access. • Dieselgate tail risk. This is still ongoing. "As a consequence of the diesel issue, numerous judicial and regulatory proceedings were initiated in various countries... In Germany, roughly 10 thousand individual lawsuits relating to various diesel engine types are currently pending." → Ten thousand lawsuits. Ten thousand. Ten fucking thousand. That's not a legal department, that's a law firm with its own law firm. Is the balance sheet a hidden risk? Not hidden. Just uncomfortable. "There is an inherent risk that existing capital needs may not be met if the Company cannot obtain funding or if financing is only available under unfavorable conditions." "There is a potential liquidity risk that we will be unable to cover existing capital requirements by raising funds or unable to finance the Group on reasonable terms, which in turn can have a substantially negative impact on Volkswagen's business position, earnings, financial position and net assets." → In a credit shock or downgrade cycle, VW faces higher refinancing costs right when it needs massive EV capex. The timing risk is real and underappreciated. Key balance sheet facts: • Total debt (consolidated): €264.7B (mostly financial services, but still) • Auto division net debt: ~€13.2B • Pension provisions: €23B - mandatory, non-negotiable cash drain • S&P credit rating: BBB+ - one bad year from pressure territory Where could management hurt shareholders? This is my favorite section. Pay attention because this is where VW is like my ex. [PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES DISCLOSURE: My ex-girlfriend is now a lesbian. She says that after me, she was never able to date a man again. I didn't fully understand this until I read about VW's governance structure. VOW3 preferred shareholders have no voting rights. Like me in that relationship, you get the economic exposure but zero say in any of the decisions. The Porsche-Piëch family makes all the choices. The State of Lower Saxony has a blocking minority. IG Metall has half the supervisory board. You have shares and a sad emoji.] "The distribution of voting rights... Porsche Automobil Holding SE... held 53.3% of the voting rights... the State of Lower Saxony... 20.0%... Qatar Holding LLC... 17.0%." → Control is concentrated. Minority shareholders cannot force hard decisions. You are along for the ride, not driving the car - ironic, given the company. "preferred shares... do not carry voting rights." → VOW3 holders have no vote. If governance choices dilute value, your only option is to exit. Voice? Never heard of her. Why might investors be fooling themselves? Because the 'cheap legacy champion' story feels good. Investors anchor to ICE-era profits and assume they come back. But pricing power is structurally weaker. The cost base is heavier. Competition is sharper. 'It will normalize' is not a plan. "Competitive pressures are also likely to remain high in the future." → Investors may assume 'cycle mean-reversion.' VW is telling you it could be persistent. The question is whether you're buying a cyclical trough or a structural step-down.

I have had this plant for several years, and although he is sprouting new babies at the base, he just never seems to look particularly happy or healthy. His leaves are always curled like this. Thoughts and tips would be greatly appreciated submitted by /u/caaaaaaaaakes to r/plants [link] [comments]

There was a thread the other day about Sriracha going to shit. A lot of the commenters knew that Huy Fong, Sriracha's producer, screwed over their supplier, but the details were all over the place; some blamed an MBA daughter, some didn't know the degree to which Huy Fong screwed over their partner, etc. So, I figured I'd just summarize what actually happened. Details are taken directly from the court judgment where this stuff was all recorded. Anyway, here's what went down: Huy Fong was founded in the 1980s by David Tran. Since 1988, he got his peppers from a local farmer, Underwood Ranches. Over time as Huy Fong grew, they started buying more and more peppers, almost entirely from Underwood. Eventually the parties grow so close that they start just kind of making handshake deals as opposed to using formal written agreements. Huy Fong also wants Underwood Ranches to specialize in peppers (they previously had a pretty diversified farm), and so, to assume some of the risk in case there's a bad pepper harvest or w/e, they start paying Underwood by acres of peppers under cultivation (as opposed to paying them for the peppers they produce). Underwood duly begins specializing in peppers. Everything goes extremely well. Huy Fong keeps encouraging Underwood Ranches to expand. They do so. Underwood leases enormous amounts of land, some of which were very long leases, for millions of dollars. Huy Fong by this point also accounts for the vast majority of Underwood Ranches' revenue. Huy Fong says, don't worry about the investments, the leases, the rental fees etc., we'll be buying your peppers, so keep growing. They assured the owner of Underwood that Huy Fong would buy his entire pepper crop no matter what. Due to Underwood's specialization, Underwood starts developing special machinery and techniques to maximize their pepper harvest. So, the year is now 2015. Underwood and Huy Fong have had this mutually beneficial business relationship for over 25 years. They've prospered together, and Sriracha has become one of the most well-known hot sauce brands out there. This is also where things start going south. At some point Huy Fong's founder David Tran starts up another company, Chilico, to source peppers for Sriracha. Hmmm. In May 2015, David Tran also tries to poach Underwood's COO, who had developed the special machinery; the COO turned Tran down and chalked up the job offer to some wires getting crossed somewhere. HMMMM. Fast forward a bit. The year is now 2016. Underwood Ranches has massively expanded and has entered into a bunch of leases for farmland. As I said, Huy Fong tells them to keep going. Curiously, Huy Fong also asks to take drone footage of the 2016 pepper harvest, where all that special machinery is being used. They had never asked this before, but they're good partners, so Underwood lets them do it. Underwood says Huy Fong can only use the footage for their own personal use. Unbeknownst to Underwood, Huy Fong also enters into a contract with their spin-off company, Chilico, to buy all of their peppers from Chilico. Afterwards, on 1 November 2016, Huy Fong meets with Underwood, and they agree that Underwood would cultivate a few thousand acres of peppers. Huy Fong agrees to give them about $18 million in pre-payments to offset costs while they cultivate the peppers. You may ask how Huy Fong could buy peppers from Underwood if they had designated Chilico as their new exclusive supplier. Well... The date is now 9 November 2016. This is when shit starts hitting the fan. Huy Fong, including founder David Tran, invites Underwood's COO to their factory to pick up some equipment. Huy Fong does this when they know Underwood's owner is out on vacation, and so won't be attending. When the COO gets there, they tell him that he's now working for Chilico. COO tells them to fuck off. David Tran gets pissed and says, Underwood has to sell chillis to them for $500/ton, because Huy Fong can get Chinese pepper mash for $300/ton - he wants Underwood to compete on price. Underwood can't. Underwood's costs alone average $610/ton. They'd be selling at a loss. Huy Fong then says, well, we don't care. Also, we want you, Underwood, to sell your peppers to Chilico rather than directly to Huy Fong. Huy Fong refuses to guarantee any contracts with Chilico, so if Chilico defaults on the contract, Underwood would be screwed b/c Chilico is basically a shell company with no assets. Also, Huy Fong tells Underwood that if they don't agree, Huy Fong weren't going to provide that $18 million in advance payments. Huy Fong then tries one more time to hire Underwood's COO. The COO tells them to fuck off once again. However, at this point, Underwood is now facing imminent financial catastrophe - they've already been induced to enter into all these leases, they've entered into commitments with others, in short, they're on the hook for a LOT of money. Fast forward to January 2017. Underwood's founder emails Tran, saying that they had an agreement, but Huy Fong subsequently changed it, and they couldn't agree to the new terms. Underwood advises them that the start date for planting had passed, there were no plants in the nursery, and they wouldn't be able to supply Huy Fong with peppers. Huy Fong responds by contracting with other farmers to get their peppers, and the kicker? They used that confidential video of Underwood's harvest to show those other farmers how to maximize their own pepper harvests for Huy Fong's gain. Subsequently, Underwood failed to get out of many of its leases, and also lost a lot of production. They had to fire 40 people and took something like $8.5 million in losses for 2017, and another $6 million in losses for 2018. Underwood's founder says, if they had just had a few years' advance notice, they could have found new customers and wouldn't have lost anything. It was the rug-pulling which screwed them over. Later, obviously, there's a lawsuit. Funnily enough, it wasn't actually Underwood who sued Huy Fong. It was Huy Fong who sued Underwood, seeking refunds for payments it had made earlier under their contracts. Underwood turned around and counterclaimed for breach of contract and fraud and a bunch of other shit. Underwood succeeded - there was a unanimous jury verdict in their favor - and got awarded about $13 million in compensatory damages, and another $10 million in punitive damages (these are only awarded where you've done something so outrageous that it's quasi-criminal; it's to deter other people from doing similar things). Now, Underwood Ranches makes their own Sriracha sauce using their own peppers, and Huy Fong is presumably using some of their cheap low-quality pepper mash or w/e, which is probably why it now tastes like shit. So there you have it, that's what happened. submitted by /u/Barakahzai to r/KitchenConfidential [link] [comments]

As the title suggests, I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with my money plant. The lower leaves get crispy and develop little spots on the back of them, and then eventually yellow/brown and fall off. Is this part of the normal growth process? It just feels like the plant itself is very sparse and I want it to be more full. I had it in my greenhouse for a while, but I thought maybe it was getting too much light so I moved it to a shelf next to the greenhouse instead. But the crunchy leaves persist. I recently repotted it as well, thinking that the pot was too small and it wasn’t retaining water, the soil moisture meter says that the soil is moist in its new pot though so I don’t wanna overwater either. Any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated! submitted by /u/Best_Ad9478 to r/houseplants [link] [comments]

My MIL has a Chinese Money plant that she propagated from someone else plant years ago. Poor thing is in a tiny pot and clearly needs to be repotted, but it also has a very tall center stalk which seems like it needs separate handling. I want to help her with this as she has been hosting our family has our own house is being renovated. Any suggestions on where to start would be appreciated! I have 0 house plant knowledge. submitted by /u/jaxacnh to r/houseplants [link] [comments]
