As its IPO partner in 2012, Morgan Stanley has the most to lose from this company's inevitable crash and burn

And finally, we are to the dramatic conclusion of the multi-part SWOOP analysis.

Early on, I predicted it would take 5 articles to explain why I SWOOPed in here. And to make the proper accounting, there have technically been more than 5 articles in ~30 days detailing the situation. It may not be "the last time" we discuss the SWOOP topic, though suffice it to say that by the end of this column, we will have grazed upon all the SWOOP basics.  "Grazed" -- get it?  

Birds and cattle have been known to have somewhat of a symbiotic relationship, so it's not entirely unfeasible that moomoo herds with jipji'ju'gisutnat might just be able to ... take out more annoying bugs?  I've not yet received an offer letter from either MooMoo or Intel, though by the time these columns are complete, I am certain someone will agree I deserve a salary.  Salary PLUS influencer rewards... why not? It is not unfeasible that our relationship could indeed be symbiotic and improve all of our lives, provided we can agree on prioritizing some basic human values.  

I adopted a difficult and cranky, but artistic and soulful (human) survivor of the Indian Residential School system who -- like Intel Corporation -- was born during the 1960's.  He's a member of the Navajo Nation and a diabetic.  He worked very hard to win me over when we met, which was right before the scope of the pandemic was  becoming known in early 2020.  He worked harder than any man that has ever pursued me to win me over; today he is my rez husband.  His mother "Alice" (not her native name) is my good friend.  When I use the word "we", I am referring to all of us, to our family which includes his mom, siblings, his children birthed by women who are "not me" long ago, and his grandsons -- we have family and cats both "on rez" and "off rez".

Until early this year, our family included my primary cat, pictured below.

We lost mósí in the early part of this year, when he would have turned 24 this autumn.  Early this year, I had been under brutal and continual financial attack for (at least) the previous 12 months, watching baffled, as Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLP's brokers (how they ID'd themselves on my E*TRADE screen until very recently)  performed unauthorized actions on my account and siphoned away tens of thousands of dollars from each of my savings values.  MS inflated fossil-fuel oriented businesses and "luxury" vacation middlemen while my Intel equity was devalued.  What MS funded made no sense to me because as a caregiver of a cranky Residential School Survivor -- I have not had an actual vacation or a paycheck in over 4 years.  

The open line of communication I'd started long ago with E*TRADE suddenly stopped working. The mental note I'd filed away at some point in the past that E*TRADE and Morgan Stanley were separate publicly traded companies never got updated after the merger.   Distraught about aging mósí and still mourning the tragic death (homicide ruled overdose) of my younger sibling, Scott, who passed away 16 months ago, it also became impossible for me to prioritize veterinarian bills when I had no income. That specific and often mislabeled "cause of death" is astoundingly common among native peoples everywhere.  IMHO, all overdoses are homicides -- by the drug dealer / profit seeker selling the temporary fix.

It's hard to deal with financial attacks while you're mourning the loss of family and companions and friends.  

Now ... a number of months since Scott's gone and mósí passed, and I'm seeing what happened so clearly.  The SWOOP spells everything out and cannot lie. Indeed, the clarity with which I understand "what happened" is so stark and obvious that I want to be mad at myself for not seeing it sooner.  

I'm not mad at myself, but gracious day, thank goodness for hindsight!

So today's column is going to discuss the "dramatic conclusion" I have reached after studying all the data, numbers, charts and trends very carefully.  

As information in this column shows, Morgan Stanley was the company that led Facebook's IPO in 2012; ergo, Morgan Stanley has the most to lose from Facebook/Meta's inevitable crash and burn. Like many large "institutionally" affiliated entities, it has also had more than one CEO since 2012. Unfortunately, its CEOs today is (in my opinion) still an an extremely incompetent CEO. A company like Morgan Stanley that has uploads of my researched data and analysis should have filled my margin account UP, not done hostile margin calls.  

As weird as it sounds, I don't hold a grudge against my former employer; the CEO who sabotaged my entire business group is gone. Intel is nothing like Facebook's Platforms in that it DOES have the employee-owned shareholder power to (and consistently DOES) remove CEOs who "power trip" and renege on those company values we printed on our badge.  This is why Intel has survived more than 55 years, and why its competitors have not.  

Always take the long view.

I mentioned elsewhere on the Internet that one of the reasons I never liked or trusted Facebook's Meta Platforms is that... its CEO has never worked for anybody but himself. Work history and IRS audit trails are important; I know this because my undergraduate degree is in Accountancy. (Yes, "degree" and "Accountancy" rhyme (go SUU THUNDERBIRDS!).)

Since the college dropout CEO has never worked for anybody but himself, we have no idea what his accounting ethics really are, except where it is clear that he "trusts himself more than anybody else". Most people are not like him. When you slave thru college and make slave wages of money and pay taxes and meet people from similar backgrounds as yourself in socioeconomic status, you learn about how the world works. I don't think college dropout CEO ever learned very basic lessons -- evidenced by the fact that he set up his company to prioritize himself and entities that include himself, where he is #1 in charge.

It didn't because? ... Well, I found this paper from 2017 (RCT) that explains why.

Notice that the list of "executive officers and directors" greatly lacks the diversity in gender and ethnicity. I remember reading about this IPO and being "not interested" in it when I saw it.  Not only did I dislike the look and feel of Facebook as a website (I never installed any of its apps on my phone or any mobile device), I especially did not like how it made people into performance clowns.  It just wasn't my thing.

Ergo, if you don't like or believe in Facebook, Morgan Stanley always was and still is a bad place to store your money.

Why do these guys never have enough?

Such fascist-leaning personas always want their victims to believe that he, the CEO is too "big and powerful" to fight back against ... but this is a lie.  Morgan Stanley did and still does have the most to lose from Facebook/Meta's inevitable crash and burn; and I think there are enough intelligent people left over from the E*TRADE merger who innately understand "intermediate" fantasy stock valuations are not sustainable; in fact, they are fraudulent liabilities.  Too much climate disaster, too many homicides, suicides, and mass-shootings of marginalized peoples.  Microaggressions of fear-based algorithms to keep people scrolling do more net harm than good.

I built my network without Facebook Platforms, and know how to distribute my research and work throughout both public and private sectors.  I like writing for people who understand and appreciate logic. While I'm not particularly into money, property, or prestige, this does not mean I'm keen on donating any equity or  authored work, art, or photographs to pad the bank account of the CEO who is building Doomsday compound number 16.

"Outsiders cannot be fooled by Insiders" is very important.  Note how "insiders" are usually blind to things outsiders can see clearly; 12 years later -- the unpopular college dropout CEO has clearly hurt a lot of people in his quest to appear popular.  We old-time Internet peoples familiar with the actual history of the Internet are much harder to fool than people chasing a quick trade or real estate flip.  Insiders cannot fool outsiders.

Why Facebook shareholders are "okay" with college dropout CEO bulldozing one mansion that has not yet depreciated to make another one  --  when he already has over 20 acres and a bunker in what some maps call "Hawai'i"?  Fascist CEOs are what make me ashamed of the "American" description inherent in half of my Native American ancestry.  I'm not alone.

 (uhh.  there is no up arrow, so I'll use the watermelon)  Above video is a friend of my rez husband from the Standing Rock camp who at the time of this video lived in Olympia, WA.  In 2016, a bunch of natives opposed to a nearby fossil fuel pipeline gathered on sacred native land to fight small-town fascism and "cops who were bought"  to harass and harm the natives protecting their ancestral sites and burial places.

Fortunately, the one thing that AI has failed at over and over is making a compelling, truthful story.  Delusional AI is often described in the literature ... the official description is "hallucinating".  Hallucinating AI will never make a compelling, truthful story -- and this is why writers and talented data analysts will never actually be replaceable.   Pep talk #3 for the ladies:  the dudes are not smarter or better than YOU! Do not fall victim to the head games, and do not trust those fear-based algorithms spewed by adversarial AI.
