Contango has to do with the futures market and commodity prices. IBIT is an open ended ETF not a commodity.
BlackRock has created an open ended ETF that gives the public exposure to BTC without having to own BTC and the costs associated with that.
Do we expect BlackRock to run the fund for free?
IBIT is an "open ended fund" comprised of shares of BTC and cash. Investors understand they don't own shares of BTC and nobody that buys IBIT expects to own shares of BTC. At least I hope they understand that. $$ come in share count goes up, $$ go out share count goes down that's how open ended funds work. There is no need for reverse or forward splits.
Who is receiving the "transfer of wealth" from IBIT? BlackRock, shareowners, the government? Just curious
So roughly BTC performance minus management fee, correct?
Hartman states a lot of things but they're not specific. This is specific:
7/31/2020 302,721,539 shares outstanding
2/15/2024 635,874,842 shares outstanding

https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/HALB/security
The fact is Hartman has been saying since he took over this ticker that there would be "no toxic funding" but he diluted the share count by 333,153,303 more than doubling the o/s The majority of those shares were issued to Ryan Goulding not Randy Goulding.

We all have different opinions that's what makes markets work. My opinions of HALB are based on what I see in the financials not what Hartman says
Yes but the folks on shark tank aren't CEO of publicly traded companies.
The scheme is different but the end result is the same diluted share owners taking it in the shorts
Why has Ryan Goulding received hundreds of millions of shares issued by HALB since Hartman's taken over?
That's not toxic financing?
Didn't mean to rain on your parade 🤣
That's textbook dilutive funding
The next set of financials will drop in about a month it will show who received the shares and give clarity to the "revenue sharing arrangement"
Typically anyone that's works with Hartman is given shares of the company as incentive, like Carl Eller. Eller was given 1 million shares to sit on the board and "endorse" HALB. He was also given 1 million shares to endorse BIEI (Hartman's previous venture that he diluted out of business.
Sometimes it's not shares directly to the "research partner" but the JV is funded by shares.
ASU was given $50k/month to do research for HALB and that $50k/month was funded by a well thought scam that ended up adding around 275 million shares being issued.
So no one feels like their "wasting their time and funds" because they are being compensated or at the least incentivized
Bottom line Hartman dilutive financing is all Hartman's knows and when the shares run out he'll move along to the next venture.
It's all in the financials...
Just noticed share count is up 80 million shares since last I checked but Hartman's quick to tout non dilutive funding agreement. What a jack ass.
Can't wait to see the next round of financials.
Keep on rolling, rolling, rolling rolling 🤑
Be careful of how you interpret the PR's and what Hartman says and doesn't say in his interviews.
The next set of financials should reveal why Darrah and Athena are involved.
Darrah made a comment in the last interview that they needed to "clean up" the MSU research, listen carefully.
Hartman's PR group is very good at how they chose words and present content.
You nailed it Turbomonkey
Tough to listen to, with all this great news one would think there would be more than $500 worth of volume.
Nobody is buying this latest idea from the feeble think tank at HALB
They signed a revenue sharing agreement, where's the revenue going to come from?
Did you read the white paper, holy fawk that's some funny shit 🤣
HALB has no money, no way of raising money, no way of generating money, no current research partners. Read the financials:
https://www.otcmarkets.com/otcapi/company/financial-report/390218/content
The latest "joint venture" being touted is a "revenue sharing" agreement promoting "military contracts".
A research contract with the military does not generate revenue.
Don't believe everything you read on twitter, SEC regulatory filings are much more credible...
Milken\Saylor = pyrite\bitcoin
I didn't see that formula in the prospectus can you provide link 🤣
They have to accumulate coin if investors are buying their ETF, right?
can you provide link?
No, that's just the seed $$ to get the ETF started. IBIT is an open ended ETF that issues new shares in 40,000 blocks based on the flow of funds in and out of the fund.
The fund currently has 91 million shares outstanding

If HALB had the slightest hint of viability you don't think big pharma or biotech would buy out a company with $2 million market cap. Nobody shorting this POS everyone knows that. LMAO
Rational thoughts will not be tolerated on this board. LOL
Facts seemed to be viewed as negative posts I guess
Read the financials...
If over 90% of trades were short wouldn't it have moved the sp substantially lower???
"The daily short selling volume is misleading because market makers and principal trading firms report a large number of trades as short sales in positions that they quickly cover"

$3500 of volume and this company is going to cure PTSD with a nasal spray.
Amazed at the level of idiocy here:)
You still flipping this turd?
Only one that's made more $$ than you here is Goulding LMFAO!!
Massive shorting no, the share count has grown by 10mm though;)
This turd is about to be flushed.
Read the financials...
HALB is a turd, I'll agree with you there:)
Can't hide from the fine print in the regulatory filings, latest financials show it all:

I've been around longer than most and can tell you unequivocally that HALB is a scam....
I know what happened 10 yrs ago because at one point I was the largest shareholder in Premier and worked directly with Hartman and Felder. I owned 50 millions shares ($250,000), was responsible for getting the CBD products on Amazon (before Hatman blew that up) and had weekly conference calls with Hartman, Felder and Borza to help them market their products. Save your breath...
LOL! Can't believe anyone still buying his BS. Sounded like he was on a breathing machine...
Hartman needs to try the extra corporeal treatment on his senile old ass. What a boob, after listening to that interview how can anyone think this is a viable entity. LMAO!
It was a "research paper" by an undergrad for summer school. Most likely a freshman being bullied into writing it 😆

The gist of the video is if you stand next to cell tower with a pocket full of change your leg will get hot, that is the basis for the technology that will cure the world of all disease.
HALB issued 300 million shares to Ryan Goulding the past 3 yrs.(since Hartman has been CEO of HALB) anyone know why?
https://www.otcmarkets.com/otcapi/company/financial-report/311583/content
https://www.otcmarkets.com/otcapi/company/financial-report/362306/content
No joke, LMAO
The cheerleaders are pumpers my friend anyone with half a brain that does more than 30 mins of DD knows Hartman is an ass clown.
At least that's what Chat GPT told me:
So 54 million shares added in the last 9 months, interesting.
It's been suggested there's been no dilution in 2 yrs...
I read the article when it came out and decided to jump back into ETHE
The rationale of trading at a discount because Grayscale won't offer a redemption is ludicrous. Grayscale has never offered offered a redemption for ETHE and it's traded at a premium of 10X
The discount will go away when the lemmings decide its safe to go back in the water...
GL
Why is ETHE trading at such a huge discount, isn't par around 16$?
