Diamond Hands SoftBank Isnt Leaving Arm Holdings Keep As Much As Possible As Long As Possible By Ben



Arm Holdings PLC (NASDAQ: ARM), the company behind the CPUs essential for Nvidia Corp.'s (NASDAQ: NVDA) GPUs in artificial intelligence (AI) operations, debuted in the market Thursday.

The company recorded the largest IPO of 2023 with a valuation of $54.5 billion. The shares, initially priced at $51, within an IPO range of $47-$52, are currently trading near the $61 level.

The IPO is a significant event, not just for the industry but also for SoftBank Group Corp (OTCMKTS: SFTBY), which acquired Arm Holdings in 2016 for $32 billion.

The Japanese conglomerate is retaining 90% of Arm Holdings and sold 10% of its position to investors.

Ninety percent is a lot -- does SoftBank plan on selling any more of it? Probably not.

During a Thursday interview with CNBC, Masayoshi Son, founder of SoftBank, gave some insights regarding SoftBank's future stake in Arm Holdings.

The SoftBank founder said he wanted to "keep as much as possible, as long as possible," noting his long-term belief in the company. He pointed out the primary reason for the IPO and the sale of shares was to offer investors a chance to benefit from Arm Holding's potential growth and to increase the company's transparency.

"Arm is such an important company for the industry. I wanted to give investors the opportunity to participate on the upside of Arm," Son said, adding "It used to be a public company. So [it's] back into a public company's position so that people will have more transparency of the operation of the companies and also give the engineers and employees stock options to realize."

Rene Haas, Arm Holding's CEO, commented on the firm's transition to a public entity and the associated responsibilities. Haas said one of his goals is to maintain a positive relationship with his primary shareholder -- Son -- and indicated alignment with the SoftBank founder regarding Arm's long-term vision.

Haas said, "The world runs on Arm. It's hard to find an end device that doesn't run on Arm." He also noted that more than 70% of the global population uses Arm-based devices. Expressing optimism about Arm's trajectory, Haas added, "I believe the best is ahead, and I'm excited about the next five to 10 years for the company."

ARM Price action: Shares of Arm Holdings were trading up 24.69% at $63.59 at market close Thursday, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Osho on Spontaneity

Osho on Spontaneity – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity Osho – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity. The spontaneous person is innocent. He has a quality that only children have, and that is the meaning of purity, innocence. He has the quality that animals have and the trees have and which man has lost. To be spontaneous means not to act out of the past, because out of the past is all cunningness, cleverness, calculation, arithmetic. When you act in the moment and it has no reference to your past, the action has a beauty, a purity – the same as a small child’s act. Whether he laughs or cries or goes into a tantrum or becomes angry, all his acts have purity – it is uncalculated. His anger is hot and not cold. The calculated anger is cold. His anger is natural, a responsiveness. He has not brooded over it, he has not planned it. He is just in the hands of nature – hence the beauty. He is surrendered to his nature; he is not trying to cont...

British victory in Falklands War might spur Argentina to build nukes CIA feared

Agency worried that Argentina's political isolation following defeat could play a role in a decision to advance its nuclear program The CIA feared that British victory in the 1982 Falklands conflict would encourage Argentina's ruling military junta to step up its efforts to construct nuclear weapons, according to a newly uncovered report. Intelligence analysts at the spy agency examining the issue of nuclear proliferation wrote in a secret report that "the Falkland Islands crisis is raising security issues for Buenos Aires that could influence Argentine attitudes towards the development of nuclear technology." The report, dated 24 April 1982, said: "A humiliation in the Falklands probably would encourage the conclusion that the possession of nuclear weapons - or merely the foreign belief that Argentina had such weapons - might have made the UK more accommodating. A major reverse for Argentina in the dispute could persuade it to proceed to build nuclear weapons....
