The 7investing Podcast Gaming, Stock-Based Comp, and Market Volatility with Chit Chat Money
There's no shortage of things going on right now in the investing world. Rapidly-rising interest rates, inflation at a forty-year high, and a broad market selloff are giving investors and the financial media plenty to talk about.
However, there are also other factors -- which aren't necessarily making headlines -- that will have deeper implications for long-term investors as well. Stock based compensation is one of those. SBC has traditionally been a great way for fast-growing companies to reward their high-performance employees and to encourage retention. When times are going well, everyone's getting paid and everything is good.
But will things change in the current state of the market, with stock prices falling and companies struggling? Will it manifest in the financial statements of Silicon Valley's high-flying tech companies? And will it impact the overall strategy of the executive teams of those companies?
We tackle those questions and many more in today's 7investing podcast. 7investing CEO Simon Erickson chits and chats with Ryan Henderson and Brett Schafer from Chit Chat Money, to discuss how several companies are handling stock-based compensation in today's era.
Ryan and Brett are also the portfolio managers of Arch Capital, which is a real-money fund that is actively investing in stock market opportunities. The two describe why they've taken several positions in the gaming industry -- including Nintendo, Electronic Arts, and Take-Two Interactive. And in the final segment, the group discusses a few things investors should be keeping an eye on in 2022.
Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this interview include Apple, DocuSign, Electronic Arts, Microsoft, Nintendo, Peloton, Take-Two Interactive, Tesla, Upstart Holdings, and Yext. 7investing’s advisors or its guests may have positions in the companies mentioned.
