Space Launch is a Regulated EnterpriseThis was set up by the FAA prior to Trump leaving office. Note the review period immediately following the inaugaration of Biden.FAA Holding Public Scoping Period for SpaceX Boca Chica Environmental AssessmentSince the link is not secure I reproduced the text below on this secure platform.But first a discssion.New Sheriff In TownThe Biden administration has issued a lot of Executive Orders and Executive Actions and put people at the head of agencies which hs reversed the policies of the Trump administration this week. These are very broad and far reaching.There are insiders closely connected to the Biden Administration who benefit at the expense of outsiders who will not.With respect to Musk, the major aerospace and automotive companies are closely connected to Biden as insiders in this context. Small cap and private aerosapce firms like SpaceX, are not. TSLA is a special case, yet TSLA is not as closely associated with Biden as GM Ford Toyota and others.The Biden administration has worked quickly to put new people in charge of various agencies and has a different focus than the previous administration to reflect these changes in policies.Wall Street Stopped Trading YesterdaySo, for example, the Biden administration worked quickly to stop trading on Wall Street yesterday to protect Administration insider friends when those insiders lost major money. Insiders called on Biden and complained about Robin Hood traders who were attacking those friends who were thought to be guilty of front running the market by issuing naked shorts.Naked Shorting DefinitionNaked shorts is the practice of selling shares that don’t yet exist. Its a way of making money from nothing. That’s why its regulated and illegal generally.Yet, naked short selling has been blamed for a failure of the markets to do what they should.It appears always that big traders win at the expense of small traders which is impossible in a fair market. Is the market not fair?The big guys must be engaging in naked short selling somehow and driving prices up and down at will.So, this is the bane of traders for a long long time and blamed for everything from an over valued TSLA stock to an under valued silver futures market.Now, when legal action was threatened major players have said that’s just a conspiracy theory among a group of sore losers and generally won. When the media discussed it they came to the same conclusion.So, on Reddit a group of Robin Hood traders said well, if we can get a group of people to trade on this front runner theory, THEY will lose THEIR money if their conspiracy thory is WRONG. Here’s the kicker, the front runners will lose money if the conspiracy theory is right! This will highlight the action and draw attention to the bad guys and stop the practice.There were enough people who lost money this way to give it a try to move markets.Because it is not illegal for people to have a trading strategy even a wrong one… so, that’s what happened.Major hedge funds lost their shirt BECAUSE THE ROBIN HOOD TRADERS WERE CORRECT YESTERDAY IN THEIR SUPPOSITION THAT THE BIG GUYS WERE ENGAGING IN ILLEGAL ACTIVITY. haha. The most telling thing is how quickly the Biden Administration moved to protect the insiders NOT THE LITTLE GUYS but the big guys, the insiders. This is bad news for Musk and Spacex imho.Its important to get through what is being spun and what is not.Toxic put together this thread to explain what is going on with Robin Hood traders that I think is superior to anything in the financial press.Thread by @toxic on Thread Reader AppStep 0: Citadel pays Robinhood for order flow. Citadel gets to see RH's orders a few milliseconds before they're filled. Citadel may choose to front-run some of those trades.Step 1: RH's customers and WallStreetBets start manipulating $GME. This is happening in the open.Officially, they're manipulating $GME (and $BB and $KOSS) because these low-value stocks are being very heavily shorted, and if something moves the value of the stock up (like, tens of thousands of retail investors acting in near unison), those short-sellers may be forced to sell...to cover their borrowed shares. If most shares are held by retail investors who won't sell, the price will skyrocket (supply/demand) until someone does. The bear hedge funds and such will still have to buy to cover, which may cause a bit of a liquidity crisis for the funds.The concept of "Screw the hedge fund vampires who exist only to destroy companies like Gamestop" is a big part of /r/WallStreetBets's messaging. It's a compelling message, and a decent secondary reason for this.The primary reason to manipulate markets remains profit, though.Step 2: HFTs buy shares ahead of Robinhood users.Remember Citadel, the firm who can front-run robinhood trades, and got to see all of that RH data a little early because they paid for flow? Yeah. When do you think they started buying $GME in front of RH traders on momentum?Because the volume of shares exchanged suggests that the HFT folks were all over this, all the way to $150. The message on WSB might be "lots of little guys screwing big Wall Street", but the truth is that the HFT robots were screwing everyone, while paying RobinHood a kickback.Step 3: A hedge fund becomes insolvent. Today it was Melvin Capital Management. It very likely won't be the last.Melvin immediately sells off a portion of itself, because it needs the influx of cash or it will vanish in a poof of smoke, vaporizing ~$15 Billion in the process.Step 4: Who's the lead investor, picking up part of a usually successful fund at fire-sale prices?Right. Citadel, probably with some of the cash they made by repeatedly profiting in the milliseconds before filling the trades that collapsed this fund.WSJ News Exclusive | Citadel, Point72 to Invest $2.75 Billion Into Melvin Capital ManagementHedge fund Melvin Capital has been hit hard by a series of short bets to start the year, down nearly 30% for 2021 through Friday, people familiar with the firm said.https://www.wsj.com/articles/citadel-point72-to-invest-2-75-billion-into-melvin-capital-management-11611604340Step 5: Citadel still has access to RH order flows, is still allowed to front-run them and/or pocket the spread, and can use that and other information to determine the next over-leveraged fund that's going to get squeezed.They might even be able to accelerate the squeeze.So, the next time you discount the impact of "4chan with a bloomberg terminal", remember that they are not the only ones who stand to benefit from intentionally screwing exposed short-sellers.The professionals are all too happy to amplify the efforts of the amateurs for profit.Because if amateurs manipulate the market, uh, truthfully, then nobody loses their license."I (retail investor) bought because I hate Citron & hedge funds, and we're going to screw them for profit. Join us, but do your own due diligence. YOLO!" might just be legal. IANAL.If a licensed broker/dealer did this, they'd lose their license, and probably go to jail. Martha Stewart did time for less.But Citadel, by paying for order flow and sitting in the middle, gets to legally ride-along, printing money the whole way.So, when you ask yourself, "who pays for no-commission trades, and why?" or "what's the harm of RobinHood's business model?", take a look at what happens behind the scenes, in the milliseconds after you press buy, but before you own those shares.It's vampires all the way down.buy. buy to cover. My kingdom for an edit button.SpaceX & the FAAThis is important in this context because it shows how the Biden Administration works to help their friends at the expense of their opponents. Which is bad news for SpaceX.What’s ahead under Joe Biden, industry by industryThe FAA is holding a public scoping period to assist the FAA in determining the scope of issues for analysis in the draft environmental assessment (EA). As a part of the public scoping period, the FAA requests public comments. More information about providing public comments can be found at the end of this email.SpaceX ActivitiesSpaceX proposes to conduct Starship/Super Heavy launch operations from the Boca Chica Launch Site. SpaceX’s proposed launch operations include suborbital launches (flight tests) and orbital launches. The proposed action also includes pre-flight operations (tank tests, mission rehearsals, and static fire engine tests) and construction activities associated with launch activities, including: expanding the solar farm, adding infrastructure and facilities at the vertical launch area (VLA), a liquid natural gas pretreatment system, and a liquefier. At the VLA, SpaceX is proposing to construct a redundant launch pad and commodities, a redundant landing pad, two integration towers, tank structural test stands and a desalination plant. More information about the project can be found on the FAA project site located here.Environmental AssessmentThe draft EA will be prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA; 42 United States Code 4321 et seq.), the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of NEPA (40 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 1500–1508 [2020]), and FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures. The FAA is considering the preparation of a Programmatic EA for this effort.Concurrent with the NEPA process, the FAA will be initiating consultation required by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act to determine the potential effects of the FAA’s undertaking on historic properties. The FAA will also be consulting with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act regarding potential effects to threatened and endangered species and critical habitat. Pursuant to the U.S. Department of Transportation Act of 1966, the environmental review will comply with the requirements of Section 4(f) of the Act.The alternatives under consideration include the proposed action and the no action alternative. Under the no action alternative, the FAA would not issue new licenses to SpaceX for any test or launch operations at the Boca Chica Launch Site. SpaceX could conduct missions of the Starship prototype launch vehicle as authorized by the current license (LRLO 20-119A). The license expires on May 27, 2022.Public CommentsThe FAA requests public comments on potential alternatives and impacts, and identification of any relevant information, studies, or analyses of any kind concerning impacts affecting the quality of the human environment. The FAA is considering the preparation of a Programmatic EA for this effort. Please include any comments on the preparation of a Programmatic EA. Please submit comments by January 22, 2020 to the following email address: [email protected].
