EUCALYPTUS TREE, Jan 3, 2022 (Newswire) 7:00 AM:
The koala is an unrestricted free agent
There is no pre-contract or handshake on a max deal to be signed on a certain date
What will come in '22, let's see, but until then no compliance regime
Let the mayhem begin...

Put in 2 orders, one an order magnitude bigger than the other to test this
The smaller COTP >10%
The larger COTP <5%
So they are scaling which is bullish in the koala opinion because UHNW/HNW will need to buy on market to “get to their target portfolio weight” as hypothesized here
The Koala agrees completely with this take and yet, couldn't help submitting at COTP just to see how important a client the marsupial is to its broker
Vividly recall the last time attempted to participate in a IPO like this was Facebook in 2012, got ~30% fill if memory serves correct
And we saw how that went on the day
If retail allocators smart, would think right move is to make sure "everyone gets at least 1 share" is applied up to 100 share orders.
Forces everyone in the HNW/UHNW bucket to then buy on market if they want to say, get to 2% portfolio allocation to "front run index inclusion" even if its several quarters away
Because that is the clear bull case here, if all non-Elon shares are considered float, this is a ~2% S&P 500 weight?
Compared to 2012, even fundamental investors understand the power of index flows, so not going to get death stares to pitching the index arbitrage trade
Now watch the Koala get proven very very wrong talking about something outside natural resources

Dan Dreyfus keeps an incredibly low profile but also is maybe one of the most amazing self made success stories in finance
While the track record is legendary, what is so rare in this industry is what such a good authentic person he is
Never worked for him, but it would be the most obvious job offer to accept if ever given

This SpaceX IPO sucks and it hasn’t even happened yet. It’s been a massive waste of my time, it’s going to be a giant liquidity suck in the whole mkt, everyone is going to get filled at max allocations, and after the greenshoe it’s going to absolutely bomb and retail is the bagholder. I hate everything about it except my new SpaceX hoodie that I ordered.

Lithium Phosphate is 18% lithium by content versus spodumene 5.5-6%
It’s solid not aqueous (important from a transport perspective)
This is just a pilot plant but the ramifications here are noteworthy for projects/deposits where the cost of transport mine to port is what skeptics talk about

The article in the Australian regarding Elliott / Northern Star has some interesting comments from former BHP Chair Ken McKenzie for when an activist calls up saying “we can do this the easy way or the hard way”
Maybe some good advice for any CEO and board facing an activist these days whether it’s Elliott or a Koala:
“Lesson number one is when the activist rings, they are already on the register”
“Number two, they will have done a lot of homework. They will have done the research and they will have also gone and talked to your shareholders. So when they come to you with issues, they are real…”
“You need to spend time with them and to do that in a very collaborative, co-operative sort of way. It is hard because they are throwing hand grenades at you in the press but you just need to take the higher moral ground and continue to engage with them in a very professional manner.”

Ken and the team gearing up to go the distance at Shaaki
PMET has received a non-binding Letter of Interest from Société Générale for potential debt financing for Phase 1 of Shaakichiuwaanaan.

This builds on recently announced engagement from EDC, KfW IPEX-Bank and another major Canadian financial institution, as PMET advances lender due diligence ahead of the updated Feasibility Study targeted for Q4 2026.
PMET is assembling a high-quality financing syndicate for Shaakichiuwaanaan Phase 1.

$10 billion into Alphabet $GOOG from Berskhire Hathaway $BRK.A $BRK.B
For AI infrastructure capex, it's not $100 billion into a private but, it's not nothing
Totally random thought the Koala was discussing yesterday with @milken_cookies was on the Berkshire $BRK.A $BRK.B cash pile
If Greg Abel threw $100 billion into Anthropic at $900 billion on a "maybe AI devours the white collar world, maybe it doesn't, but I still got $282 billion of cash on hand so whatever, portfolio hedge"
Do markets love it or hate it?

In light of recent engagement on this post sadly the Koala must disclose it is not affiliated with Gillon Capital in any way shape or form
But, it sorta wish it was
Today we learned the answer to a question the Koala never bothered to ask in over a decade because never seemed necessary to do so
It turns out you cannot buy Sherritt $S.TO at American brokerages as an individual
Now we know
