What are the means of privatizations?

  Elon Musk is bought Twitter for approximately $44 billion, but what does that actually mean? To start, public companies are those that can be traded on public stock exchanges, like the NASDAQ. In Twitter's case, companies go public, usually to raise capital, among a plethora of other reasons. But in the case of Twitter, they went public back in 2013 via an initial public offering or IPO. Now, nine years later, Elon Musk has swooped in and bought the company. But Why would you want to do this? And what happens when a company goes private in the first place?


 The process is known as privatization. The most notable change to Twitter will be that the company shares will no longer be listed on a Stock Exchange, meaning that the public will not be freely able to purchase any shares of ownership in the company. The company will still have shares, but they will be held privately, and sale or purchase of them would have to happen in a private transaction. The other major component of the privatization of Twitter is that the company will no longer be answerable to public shareholders or regulated as closely by the SEC or other government entities. Essentially, the private shareholders, in Twitter's case, mostly Elon Musk can do whatever they want with the company, and no one can really say anything. When Elon Musk offered to buy Twitter, the board of directors was legally obligated to consider the offer. Elon offered to buy the company at a premium over the share price on the day of his offer, a value of about $44 billion. Now that the board has accepted the offer. Every single shareholder will eventually have the option to be paid 5420 for each of their shares the per share buyout price, which was premium to the existing stock price at the time of the offer. 


But why? Why spend so much money buying the company? Well, in Twitter's case, likely because Elon wants to radically transform it. If the company was still public and Musk, for example, just had a seat on the board, he'd still have to deal with all of the other stakeholders in the company and would simply get an opinion. In the matter, not the ability to lead or decide on it. Since Elon has such significant plans to change Twitter for what he sees as the better, taking the company private was the most efficient and effective way to do it. 


So what happens next? Now that the board has accepted Elon's offer, the deal has to be closed over the course of a few weeks to months, and this involves legal and regulatory review, delisting from the NASDAQ, as well as the actual purchase or exchanging of money of the shares from Elon Musk's pocket to the thousands of shareholders of Twitter while company privatization is a fairly straightforward and standardized process, one thing is for sure, we're in for a wild ride with Elon at the helm of Twitter.

China really does not want war? Taiwan then whose? Why is Taiwan so important to America and China?

China is playing with peril. still, America will intermediate militarily to cover the island, If China invades Taiwan. This is what US President Joe Biden said during a meeting with the leaders of the Quintet in Tokyo on May 23. China is not sitting still. Beijing's Foreign Ministry prophet Wang Wenbin stressed that Taiwan is an integral part of mainland China. There is no room for concession or concession. Encouraging Taiwan's independence would be like playing with fire. This is what Chinese President Xi Jinping said in 2021. still, there would be nothing to worry about, If the issue was limited to such a war of words. The constitution also has a law on Taiwan called the Anti-Association Law, which states that if Taiwan does not unite with China, also China is naturally obliged to intermediate militarily in Taiwan. multitudinous international relations judges believe that if there is a war between China and the United States in the future, Taiwan will be the flash point of th...

Why the US government 30$ trillion owe?

  The United States is in a lot of debt. Currently the country owes $27.2 trillion. But who would even lend them that much money? Who does the US owe this massive sum?  Well, the answer to that is pretty simple. In large part, it owes itself that money, but there's also quite a few other countries it owes to. the US essentially owes two groups of people, the general public, which can be other countries or even investors in the US and itself. But before we get into who makes up those groups and what the percentages look like, first let's get some basics. Whenever the US government needs money, it raises that money through the issuing of savings bonds or treasury bonds. These bonds are basically pieces of paper that say the US will pay the person or agency that buys it back with a little bit of interest. Many people want to buy bonds because they're pretty solid investments, like banks, foreign governments, and maybe even you. The debt ceiling, which you may have heard about,...

What is infinite money glitch? How does work fractional reserve banking system ?

  What if I told you that the entire modern financial system functioned on an infinite money glitch where billions, no trillions of dollars were created out of thin air day after day, and at any point the whole system could collapse? Oh, you. You wouldn't be surprised.    But what I just said was the truth, and it's something called fractional reserve banking, otherwise known as the Infinite Money glitch. Here's how it works.  When someone deposits $1000 in the bank, the bank does not hold on to all of that money. Rather, the bank will just keep 10% a $100 as reserves and then loan out the rest or $900 to other people or companies charging interest on the loan. Making additional money for the bank, the Lendy, or the person that took out the $900 loan then goes on to spend that money. To simplify the scenario, we'll say that that person with a $900 loan immediately paid someone else that $900. At this point, when looking at this small financial system, there's a tota...

Who controls of our whole economic money?

  I'm gonna start this article with a quote. Henry Ford once said it is well enough that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system. For if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning. I quote this because it encapsulates the fact that the contents of this article may be unsettling compared to the articles that I normally make.  I still feel compelled to make this article because I've been exploring the financial world for the last four years and it's definitely given me a more complete view of the world I want to share some of what I've come across with you guys. I'm also going to do a article about cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin in the future and to understand why Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies may continue to rise. It's critical that you understand the contents of this article. I hope that you find this topic interesting and that inspires you to do your own research afterwards.  Now, with that sai...

The End of Doller empire !

The End of Doller empire!  Saudi Arabia is in discussions with China to price some of its oil sales in yuan, but as ties with Washington continue to be strained. Beijing and Moscow are diversifying. China and Russia have taken another step closer towards dumping the dollar and agreed to trade in their respective national currencies, the Russian ruble and the Chinese yuan. The End of Doller empire Hi everybody. the US dollar has been the most powerful currency in the world for 80 long years.  This reserve currency status gives the United States such unprecedented power over the world economy that can cripple the economy of any country within a fortnight. And because of this power, it has even dominated giant players like Russia and China. But you know what guys? This is where China and Russia have actually come up with a master plan to kill the dollar dominance in the world. And if you look at the past 10 years data, you will see that it's actually working out quite well. In 19...

What is a stock split?

When you enjoy stock in a company, you enjoy a portion of the company itself. When that company makes further plutocrats and the stock price goes up, you can make plutocrats by buying and dealing with the stock.  But what happens when the company decides to do a stock split? And why would a company indeed want to resolve their stock in the first place?  Stock splits are when a company divides the share of its stock into a multiple of generally two or three, but it can go as high as 100 or indeed 1000. So if a company had 1000 shares on the request, a stock split would turn those shares into 2000 or 3000 shares generally. And if you possessed one share at the time of A2 for one stock split, you'd all of an unforeseen own 2 shares of the company but the price would also be cut in half. unyoking a stock does not add any value innately. It's not a way for companies to just double their request cap. So why would companies do this just for fun? Well, unyoking a stock and therefore p...

What is Algorithmic trading as well Arbitrage trading? How does it works?

This stock request can be, if Coracias, beast to those that do not understand it, but currently you do not indeed need to understand it to make a plutocrat. The rise of the digital information age and AI has brought about a new way of stock trading called algorithmic trading. occasionally appertained to as automated trading or black box trading. This is basically a program that can trade stocks at high pets and frequency impeccably in line with the request. These programs are given constraints and instructions like timing, price, quantum, et cetera. And a stoner can OK tune how exactly they work. So how does it work also? Let's take a look. Take for illustration an average dealer. They buy 50 shares of a company. When the 50-day moving average goes above the 200-day moving normal. This is basically a specialized index that the stock is due to rise in the short term. also the same dealer would vend that stock when the 50-day moving average goes below the 200-day moving normal. Or th...

Why money worth anything ?

  Money is arguably one of the most important things in the world. While happiness and joy might outrank it at least on your uplifting Instagram feed, money does seem to make things easier. When you actually stop and think about paper money, though, we're left with a perplexing conundrum. There's nothing inherently valuable about these banknotes, at least today. So why does money have any value at all? Over time? How paper money is valued has actually changed, so to understand how modern money is worth anything. First, we have to look back to the early days of paper money. In the early days of governmental currency, money wasn't paper. Rather, it was usually a coin made of a precious metal like gold or silver. The value of that money was intrinsic as the value of the metal that made it up. If you melted a gold coin down, you'd have the same amount of gold as the coin was worth. As this system of money became impractical, governments decided to come up with a new way of ...
