Uber stock skyrockets after company says it has plenty of cash to get through coronavirus crisis
Damnit. Was considering doubling down on my Uber investment too.
Itâs still 68% down from all time highs, Iâm long Uber also (next 5-8 years) so anything under 25 I consider a buy for sure! âŚmy opinion obviously.
How do we think thisâll go?
Not well unfortunatelyâŚ
great news
I think the Judge has made the right call. If Uber is treating drivers like employees then they should have to meet the same standards that other employers do.
Fantastic ruling. Hopefully this runs the gig economy out of business or forces them to actually compete.
âMove fast and break thingsâ looking ironic nowâŚ
This court ruling is great for their new âemployeesâ but long term I donât see how they can make the sort of margins they predicted before.
So several months since the court ruling and drivers donât seem to be better off. Drivers are arguing that Uber give with one hand (through holiday pay, emoyee pension, etc) and take away with the other (increase in % fee) so pretty much in the same situation as before.
Parasite going to parasite.
Looked so positive but then hit hard after the trading halt!
The trading halt was Morgan Stanley declaring a 5.2% stake. It then sold off after the announcement/resumption.
This could generate some decent revenue. Interesting to dilute the brand however, letâs just wait and see before they get political ads targeting people based on where theyâre going.
Oops
Will this be more negative to Uber, or the relevant governments/politicians?
It should be explosive and ruin them but like sooo many Guardian exposes it seems people outside the echo chamber donât really care much.
If it is easier and cheaper most will simply carry on using and not much hope they will be hit hard enough by regulators.
