SoftBank + ARM = PickPocket

I'm pretty happy. I made a tiny bit of cash buying ARM shares.

Yeah I would really have preferred them to be a hard bank.

britcucks now are totally irrelevant

Somehow someone's gonna blame brexit.

I'm gonna blame brexit.

For now Softbank is a relatively neutral company in the mobile device industry so its good, but they have big plans for the internet of things and I wonder if the competitor's are going to stay at ARM or shift over to alternatives.

Glorious Nippon microarchitecture folded over 1000 times will beat everything.
But seriously, it's good that ARM is now owned by a company not based in a Five Eyes country.

But it's scary how many companies Softbank is buying up.

Seems like they are preparing for something big.

Who cares

No. Masayoshi Son is a (Korean) Japanese version of Marissa Mayer, assuming Mayer once had accomplishments. Softbank rose to prominence by buying and renovating a crap-tier Japanese wireless telecom. Son then invested in Alibaba, which has served as collateral while he apparently tries to create the world's largest debt load for a corporate entity.

Softbank is more or less a pyramid scheme of debt at this point. Sprint will never pay off and neither will ARM.
