Show notes
The show opens with a look at Opendoor now that it's merger with Chamath Palihapitiya's Social Capital Hedosophia II. Next, Alex looks back at the past couple weeks wild IPOs and non-IPOs (in Roblox's case) breaking down why he's hesitant to be a bull with current market conditions. Also covered here, the non-stop growth seen from PLAT, WisdomTree's platform business ETF. Alex then moves into the private sector discussing StockX, an online sneaker marketplace, and their new $275 million series E fund raise. The second half of the show highlights some current alternatives to tech monopolies, an online freedom of speech bill introduced by Poland's Justice Minister, and the U.S. passing The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, an act that will force publicly traded foreign companies to comply with U.S. Public Accounting Oversight Board audits.
