@Jay Talents Don't blame the system. Nobody force you to get a loan from the bank. In any case the banks is still better than the authority/govt of the other system. At least the bank won't send a murder squad after you, or send you to some labor camp.
G.W., laughed so hard I almost passed out...E.Holmes is not sitting on a high horse anymore with Thanose yet is riding very happy on a different horse i heard...
I actually wondered about that. Did Saudi Arabia give SoftBank $45 million dollars and the voiceover was wrong? Or did Saudi Arabia give SoftBank $45 billion dollars and the words on the screen were wrong? Either way, they didn’t match...
The deal is mixture of cash and stock. If the deal goes through SoftBank will become the largest shareholder in Nvidia. The pace that Nvidia is growing it probably will become Vision Funds most successful investment in a few year's if they keep the shares that is.
Just having $100 Billion to invest is not the problem. Renaissance and Blackstone have more than this, and they are not being criticized in the same way. Ask instead whether Softbank is investing well or badly? Are they overvaluing companies? Are they underestimating risks? Maybe they are not smart enough to invest this money well, but the size of the fund by itself is not the measure to be concerned with. Measure their cleverness.
Masayoshi is an inventor from early days in college. He knew the needs of inventor @ technology entrepreneur. Softbank or vision fund funds the technology projects of the technology entrepreneurs. The world needs technology entrepreneurs and technology funders.
SoftBank has also invested in India's hospitality unicorn OYO rooms and are the biggest shareholder. After pandemic, OYO has been facing difficulty and facing massive loses. SoftBank is on another level when investing with high risk
Hey great content as usual! Could you make a video on the employees working in your company? Which ones are necessary from the start, at what point should an entrepreneur hire an additional employee, what they do (25+ employees seem a lot for a tech company!). I think it would deliver quite a deal of value. Thank you!
The worst part is they're going to sell ARM's stakes to Nvidia. A real bad move considering how big ARM is going to be soon (from the whole Apple's M1 fiasco to every new RISC technology that is in ARM's control)
As a very conservative person I find Softbank's approach insane and yet I wouldn't be being honest if I didn't say I also admire them in that when these investments pay off, they pay off big. He's a very much go big or go home kind of CEO. A visionary like Steve Jobs and we need these type of people. True it's not my cup of tea, as it's too risky it's still impressive.
SoftBank has lost touch towards the world, they’re all in on Ai now but I believe next big thing will be digital monetary system and decentralized network. Ai will get their chance but next 10~15yrs will be years for economy decoupling from fiat and central banks.
I absolutely luv the work that you and your team does!!! Please keep the content coming. I noticed an error regarding the dollar amount that the Saudis invested... You said initially $45B, but when you repeated it, you illustrated $45M (@ 8:15).
When you play this big, it is thinkable that even WeWork will succeed. I whish they do. I mean, beyond the eccentric CEO, the concept was interesting and appealing.
I got acquainted with SoftBank when Nikesh Arora (currently CEO of PANW) joined as a successor to Masayoshi Son at a massive salary of US$100m a year. Bought the stock. Sold the stock in December 2019 when it tripled and I was dismayed by the SoftBank and Vision Fund investment in WeWork and UBER. In hindsight it was a poor decision as the SoftBank stock has surged about 60%.
Masayoshi is definitely planning for something very huge and to rule the globe for the next 500 years. The way he has funded each ride hailing giants in all parts of globe clearly depicts how softbank is the real owner of ride hailing business on this planet.
I think this just goes to show that no matter how big you get, risk is still risk and has to be respected. Softbank seems to be doing it right by investing in a number of diversified potential homeruns, if its current all time high stock price is any indicator.
Love your videos. In this video, you should have talked about some of SoftBanks indian investments which were costly bets. And I certainly feel they are on the way to being their worst bets. Indian market is highly cost sensitive and these costly bets are litetally bleeding over the past few years. You should look into this fascinating world of Indian startups... Keep up the good work! ❤️
The most horrifying thing for me was casually looking up who "OneWeb" are and finding my (UK) government spent half a billion buying 45% of this turkey!
I was wondering why they sold stakes in Arm, Now I understand. But I still think it was a stupid move as Arm investment will hold good for another 25 years at-least.
amazing video, thank you very much. I personally am very skeptical concerning such "investment strategies", they seem to be highly irrational (and therefore distorting the market). This is a quite general problem: if a financial institution grows too big, its' risk-taking strategies can become obscure (think for example of the "too big to fail banks" - how can there be rational credit-giving without the associated risk of loss (and more drastically bankruptcy)?.
These million or billion $ "Valuations" are just a vague number in virtual reality, no serious investor should look at valuation before investing. This has backfired so many times.
I don't think the commenters watched the video in its entirety. He says at the end that Softbank's investments paid off and made $12 BN in the latest trimester 😂😂
This is quite interesting and informative, After earning thousands USD on investing with a reliable company, I dare not doubt the trade market, with the right skill you'll be making a fortune off the market.
Having a very good investment plan that ensures steady incomes without any doubts you can prepare for a well organized future, even in retirement. I made over $16,000 investing in Bitcoin/ Forex market. Mr. Briggs Donald is the expert who assists me. We met at a trading conference and he accepted to trade for me.
Nothing to worry when trading with Briggs Donald Trading , I'm so glad to see different people who are his students here it gives me joy . still short of words to thanks you sir
I think SoftBank is brilliant ima just say it hear 2-3years again everyone was saying Tesla was gonna fail I think everyone is trying to say the same thing about SoftBank but watch in like the next 5years soft bank share will grow little by little but in the next 10 it’ll be one of the most high growing stocks in the world so do what u want say what u want I’m buying now
“A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain.”

Lol. Not his fault that you can't stand the heat.

@Jay Talents Seems like you can't stand the heat. But sure, let's just agree to disagree.
Why would you borrow an umbrella when the sun is shining ?
@Jay Talents oh i see ! Thank you for explaining . That makes perfect sense .
How did Softbank miss out on Theranos
Probably because holmes wanted full control for herself and Softbank wants control when they invest
Savage
damm! they really missed out
Lol
and Nikola 😂
This happens when you give millions to anyone with a black turtleneck.
Lmao brilliant
Haha... I'm going out to buy a black turtle neck

G.W., laughed so hard I almost passed out...E.Holmes is not sitting on a high horse anymore with Thanose yet is riding very happy on a different horse i heard...
Typo at 8:16 - should be $45 billion not million
I actually wondered about that. Did Saudi Arabia give SoftBank $45 million dollars and the voiceover was wrong? Or did Saudi Arabia give SoftBank $45 billion dollars and the words on the screen were wrong?
Either way, they didn’t match...
@@HavaWM 45M would be nothing in the face of the 100B fund. So I’d assume the voiceover is right
WeWork was a huge mistake for SoftBank. I think they're making another huge mistake by selling ARM to Nvidia.
I think it's ripple effect. SoftBank has to meet up (expectation) in an account book, So ARM has to go...
The deal is mixture of cash and stock. If the deal goes through SoftBank will become the largest shareholder in Nvidia. The pace that Nvidia is growing it probably will become Vision Funds most successful investment in a few year's if they keep the shares that is.
I think they didn't have too much options, because of cash
@James Franko do you have a video on TH-cam to share about that. That sounds interesting and I want to know more please
@James Franko I notice a lot of Japanese companies doing that
There is a Hydrogen truck company they might be interested on
Hahahaha
That earns you both a thumbs up and a copyright strike
Nah there's probably a company that sells rain water
@@warriorz9451 How about raw water?
@@stephenwest2 I think they're investing in a company that washes toy cars for kids that also owns a raw water factory

I gues Softbank is _ARMless_ now
lol good one 😂
nice one
Edwin Gan bravo
lol
They just got disARMed. *rimshot*
8:13 45 Billion or 45 Million ?
the sum is so large that the editor can't even type that properly
Yeah I was about to say
I was about to comment
@Pnoy Pnay lol
Caya you sir are a legend! Always pumping out amazing content💯🙌🏾
We really appreciate your comment!
SoftBank to Investors: we are going to make money for you.
Wework: Hold my beer 🍻
Uber: am I a joke to you?
AdD Rappi
The selling of ARM will cause a huge effect. Good or bad the ripples will be felt.
He lives up to his name as a "Soft Bank"
So soft that he's willing to invest in almost anything and everything
Hey most of those customer monies are from the saudis so lets hope son keeps betting and losing
2:08 So Mayasoshi was worth around 110B before the techdotcom bubble 🤔
Yup. That's how net worth works. It's not the money they have. It's the valuation of their assets.
Masayoshi is an inventor from early days in college.
He knew the needs of inventor @ technology entrepreneur.
Softbank or vision fund funds the technology projects of the technology entrepreneurs.
The world needs technology entrepreneurs and technology funders.
It requires money to make money. this is the best secret I have ever discovered we don't make money, we EARn and MULTIPLY money
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be estactic with the decision you made today.

Find someone who loves you as much as Softbank loves burn money

Just a heads up "Mired" is pronounced like tired.
Not if you're talking about a space station.
soft bank will probably make a comeback
24 Billion down the drain? Jesus, sounds like the last time I went out before the Corona Pandemic :D
In the middle of the video, it should be 45 B in the text. It is by mistake shows 45m.
SoftBank has lost touch towards the world, they’re all in on Ai now but I believe next big thing will be digital monetary system and decentralized network. Ai will get their chance but next 10~15yrs will be years for economy decoupling from fiat and central banks.
Also, sale of ARM gave Softbank a 10billion profit, which contributed to their net profit
24 Billion is INSANE losses.
That's SEC jail time losses.
I absolutely luv the work that you and your team does!!! Please keep the content coming.
I noticed an error regarding the dollar amount that the Saudis invested... You said initially $45B, but when you repeated it, you illustrated $45M (@ 8:15).
So basically the Soft Bank vision fund is like how shark tank investors work only with companies that have a few more zeroes on their valuations.
When you play this big, it is thinkable that even WeWork will succeed. I whish they do. I mean, beyond the eccentric CEO, the concept was interesting and appealing.
8:15 - 45M or 45B ?
Such an interesting story. Hard to pull off getting an ROI with a fund that large.
All it takes is 1 winner like his alibaba investment ....
Basically, Softbank is an example of a stock market in hyper-scaled funds. They've had the ups and downs in their way.
Investing in future companies is high reward high af risk
Your videos are amazing.
where do you get your reserach material from
Son is a respectable person.
His story is inspirational and his character really shows in his investments

I got acquainted with SoftBank when Nikesh Arora (currently CEO of PANW) joined as a successor to Masayoshi Son at a massive salary of US$100m a year. Bought the stock.

I know this is totally unrelated but could you do a video about your organisational chart? Super interested how you keep Slidebean light and agile.
Damn, SoftBank just pulled a Wirecard
An update on Softbank seems to be needed
Boston dynamic should be a big pay off in the future.
There is no way that ARM deal is going to go through.
Nice one
Not going to lie when I heard softbank my brain goes to those weird ads with the dog.
Masayoshi Son is a regular poster is Wallstreet bets.
Masayoshi is definitely planning for something very huge and to rule the globe for the next 500 years. The way he has funded each ride hailing giants in all parts of globe clearly depicts how softbank is the real owner of ride hailing business on this planet.
Anyone who think wework was a failure , ask yourself one thing , which company comes to mind when you think about coworking spaces
Regus.
Hackerspace.
Hackerlab
Nextspace.
Heck even your Starbucks and local Library.
It says 45M instead of 45Billion at 8:20
Softbank is the classic example of mistaking leverage for genius
Mistake in the video at 8:17.. says Saudi Arabia gave 45M.. should be 45B
I think this just goes to show that no matter how big you get, risk is still risk and has to be respected. Softbank seems to be doing it right by investing in a number of diversified potential homeruns, if its current all time high stock price is any indicator.
"WeTank"
Shut up and take my money.
At 8:18 you wrote 45 million dollars but said 45 billion, great video as always doe
Love your videos. In this video, you should have talked about some of SoftBanks indian investments which were costly bets. And I certainly feel they are on the way to being their worst bets.

You didn't mention ARM ITS ONE OF SOFTBANK COMPANIES
Please do Quibi forensics next!
The most horrifying thing for me was casually looking up who "OneWeb" are and finding my (UK) government spent half a billion buying 45% of this turkey!
talk about the other 5Billion Softbank vision fund for Latin America, how is it doing?
8:08 45B not 45m
The only important company Softbank bought was ARM. So I was waiting when you would mention them. Seems to me like ARK is the new Softbank.
It just takes few companies to grow and all loss will be paid off by 200%+
Yep
how does a share buyback reduce debt?
Wework was my favorite. Nobody in their right mind didn’t see the handwriting on the wall
Imagine being those two workers that quit
I was wondering why they sold stakes in Arm, Now I understand. But I still think it was a stupid move as Arm investment will hold good for another 25 years at-least.
I think they are going to make lots of money in future, they are way ahead of the game.

8:16 Billion dollors not million 45B not 45M

Too much investment kills the startup.
When a bank gets a bad case of FOMO
Hey 8:18 ; 45B *. Not 45M
Money doesn't always solves the problem for startups its the business always the business.
Softbank is more like an call option not a vanilla stock
what's so surprising? the man has a go-big-or-go-home style, so of course he will have big loss like Wework, big payday like Alibaba.

Love the way you present and share important high level data.
So the Japanese and US government bailed them out
Just imagine if we work with its new ceo bounces back
8:16 should read 45billion instead of 45million.
Lol i read it in description. 😊
300 year game plan? When we can't tell what is going to happen in 10 years?
This video didn't discuss where he got his initial capital??
softbank revenue is at $58T so. i say they are still good
It could be yen not dollar
Only 6 companies in the world are worth 1 trillion dollars so i doubt the are MAKING 58 trillion in revenue
Son: Go BIG or go home.
Raises 45Bn from Saudi, therefore spends money like Saudi kings.
