Mark Zuckerberg started offloading $META stock on November 1 and made a sale every day between then and the end of the year, per a regulatory filing issued Tuesday. 📄 In total, Zuckerberg sold 1.28 million shares for about $428 million. It's the first time since November 2021 that the world's seventh-richest person has trimmed his position in the social-media giant. 💰  Meta is coming off a banner year where its stock soared 194% as Zuckerberg pressed ahead with its "Year of Efficiency" cost cuts and the AI craze encouraged investors to pile into mega-cap Big Tech stocks. 📈

It was the second best-performing S&P 500 stock last year, trailing only Nvidia, with shares now at $344 – just 10% below the record high hit in September 2021. 💸

Zuckerberg still owns about 13% of Meta, with his stake valued at just under $116 billion. 🔔 archive.ph/tP5a3

Wookies, the time has come to reflect on the journey of the past year; a rollercoaster of events, both uplifting and challenging.

The world of investing is dynamic; companies have either exceeded our expectations, leaving us pleasantly surprised, or have fallen short, humbling us. Yet, through it all, we've been kept on our toes, enlightened by the twists and turns of the market.

Crowdsourcing our research has proven to be a constant source of golden nuggets of knowledge, with something interesting always being discovered. However, the past year has posed unique challenges, marked by one of the fastest interest rate hiking cycles our country has witnessed. Investing is an art of navigating against the tide. Wook Capital firmly believes in the mantra of having little regard for how we march towards truth; we only care that we get there. 

We believe that collaborating with retail investors—tapping into their boundless passion, creativity, and expertise—provides an opportunity to uncover what that the market has missed and achieve alpha together.

We aim to be ready for whatever the future holds. Thank you, Wookies.

Tesla is recalling nearly all 2 million of its cars on US roads to limit the use of its Autopilot feature following a two-year probe by US safety regulators of roughly 1,000 crashes in which the feature was engaged. 🚗 The limitations on Autopilot serve as a blow to Tesla’s efforts to market its vehicles to buyers willing to pay extra to have their cars do the driving for them. 🛞 The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the Autopilot system can give drivers a false sense of security and be easily misused in certain dangerous situations when a Tesla’s technology may be unable to safely navigate the road. ⚠️ The over-the-air software update will give Tesla drivers more warnings when they are not paying attention to the road while the Autopilot’s “Autosteer” function is turned on. 🔔 After the recall, Teslas with Autosteer turned on will more routinely check on the driver’s attention level – and may disengage the feature – when the software determines the driver isn’t paying attention. 👀 static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/202…

GameStop narrowly beat their expected EPS and is giving its CEO and chair Ryan Cohen even more control, including the ability to use company cash to buy other stocks. 🚀 In its quarterly report released Wednesday night, GameStop announced two changes to its corporate investment plan: company cash can now be used to buy equities instead of just short-term debt, and that Cohen is in charge of the investments. 📈 “Mr. Cohen directs the investment activity of the Company in public and private markets pursuant to authority granted by the Board of Directors. Depending on certain market conditions and various risk factors, Mr. Cohen, in his personal capacity or through affiliated investment vehicles, may at times invest in the same companies in which the Company invests,” the filing said. 💬 $GME shares were trading up 10.24% as of the close on Thursday. 🎮
$GME is now RC Ventures. What will Cohen do with $1.2b in cash?

The long-delayed electric truck has finally arrived — sort of. 🧐 Ten trucks are slated for delivery, but Tesla’s problems extend far beyond this first batch. 💭 Tesla's long-delayed Cybertruck will be priced starting at $60,990, over 50% more than what CEO Elon Musk had touted in 2019 and a cost analysts have said will draw select, affluent buyers. 💰 But Musk, who has priced the vehicle's three variants between $60,990 and $99,990, said on Thursday the Cybertruck has "more utility than a truck" and is "faster than a sports car." 🛻 “Finally, the future will look like the future," Elon said about the truck's design, showing a video of the Cybertruck towing a Porsche 911 and beating another gasoline-powered 911 in a quarter mile. 💨 Tesla shares fell 2% in extended trading after closing off 1.6% at $240.08. 📉
Tesla Cybertruck is notably the first time that Tesla is straight up not delivering on some of the key specs they promised Promised specs: 500+ mile range $70,000 Delivered: 340 mile range $100,000 Tesla (and others) have taken the stance that the thousands of pounds of extra battery required to deliver 500 miles of range with today's battery technology is not worth the hit to driving dynamics. At this point I can't be surprised if Roadster 2.0 has nowhere near 600 miles of range either

Nvidia investors gave a cool reaction to its latest quarterly report, which blew past average analysts’ estimates but failed to satisfy the loftier expectations of shareholders who have bet heavily on an artificial intelligence boom. 💥 Revenue in the current period will be about $20 billion, the world’s most valuable chipmaker said Tuesday in a statement. 💸 Though that topped the average Wall Street prediction of $17.9 billion, some projections reached as high as $21 billion. 💰 After sliding as much as 6.3% in late trading, the shares settled down to a decline of about 1%. 💸 While Nvidia posted another quarter of impressive growth, some investors were clearly anticipating more. 🫤 They have poured money into the stock this year — sending it up 242% — on the hopes that the AI industry will continue to bring explosive sales gains for Nvidia. 🚀 That means Nvidia shares were priced at a level that required an absolutely perfect outcome, analysts have said. 💬 archive.ph/jrLHt

Saudi Arabia invested heavily in Lucid Group, expecting a successful venture into electric vehicles. However, Lucid has faced challenges, with its value dropping from over $55 billion to $5.4 billion. 🇸🇦 Lucid's shares have plummeted over 90%, and it struggles with negative gross margins, limited production, and low demand for its luxury sedan. 📉 Despite advanced technology, Lucid lacks brand awareness and sales. Its main customer is the Saudi government, supporting the company as it faces financial difficulties. 🚗 Lucid's $9 billion valuation, compared to modest sales, has allowed fundraising but has led to significant losses for retail investors. 💰 Speculation about a private takeover hasn't materialized, leaving minority investors potentially impatient as Saudi Arabia navigates the evolving energy transition. ⚡️ bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

The Little Book That Builds Wealth by Pat Dorsey shares the power of economic moats. Economic moats can protect companies from competition, helping them earn more money for a long time, and therefore making them more valuable to an investor. 📖 Here’s 8 ways to identify economic moats: 1. A company can have intangible assets, like brands, patents, or regulatory licenses that allow it to sell products or services that can’t be matched by competitors. 💭 2. The four sources of structural competitive advantage are intangible assets, customer switching costs, the network effect, and cost advantages. If you can find a company with solid returns on capital and one of these characteristics, you’ve likely found a company with a moat. 💱 3. The most common “mistaken moats” are great products, strong market share, great execution, and great management. 📉 4. If a company can charge more for the same product than its peers just by selling it under a brand, that brand very likely constitutes a formidable economic moat. 🤑 5. If you can find a company that can price like a monopoly without being regulated like one, you’ve probably found a company with a wide economic moat. 💰 6. The best kind of regulatory moat is one created by a number of small-scale rules, rather than one big rule that could be changed. 📜 7. It is very hard for retailers and restaurants to create moats around their businesses. 🍴 8. To see if a company has an economic moat, first check its historical track record of generating returns on capital. Strong returns indicate that the company may have a moat, while poor returns point to a lack of competitive advantage. 💡 For more, tune into the Wook Book Club discussion on Pat Dorsey's The Little Book That Builds Wealth at 8:00 PM EST tonight! 🔖 Sign up here: discord.com/invite/HJUMXxJTk…
