In the News: Gold, Auto Sales, General Electric
We don’t think gold makes much sense outside perhaps a very diversified portfolio. Auto sales weren’t all that great in September, and some are calling for a bottom in General Electric.

SEC Says Tesla’s Musk Broke Securities Laws, Allows Him to Retain CEO Role
Image Source: SEC_News via Twitter. The SEC may have set a dangerous precedent in settling with Musk and allowing him to remain CEO. Musk and Tesla will also pay a monetary fine and add more independence to the boardroom as a result of the entrepreneur’s alleged market-manipulating behavior conducted through Twitter. We don’t think Tesla, a company with just $50 billion market capitalization and makes no money, is too big to fail. Musk’s settlement with the SEC is a sweetheart deal, and one that now has the stock soaring.

In the News: Tesla’s Musk Charged with Securities Fraud; Facebook’s Security Issue
We continue to stay as far away from Tesla as possible. The company’s stock could still crater even more. It does not have a firm foundation at all. Facebook, despite being under continuous and tremendous scrutiny, is operating on a firm foundation, however. We continue to like shares of the social media giant, despite a recently-disclosed security problem. The more Facebook beefs up security and augments its platform, the bigger its competitive advantages become, as the entry costs for new entrants become even more insurmountable.

Midstreams Going C-Corp, Should SEC Disallow the Measure Distributable Cash Flow?
It’s important to differentiate the concept of enterprise free cash flow valuation and the idea of capital-market dependence. The uncertainty of the MLP business model remains, as it is clear operators are shunning the MLP business model preferring C-Corps instead. According to work from Global X Funds, now 40% of the energy infrastructure market cap consists of C-Corps, up considerably from just 15% at the end of 2014. Though many simplifications have come with implied distribution cuts, the primary reason for the rise in C-Corps across the midstream space has been the rationalizing of excess MLP valuations to enterprise free cash flow assessments. We encourage the SEC to consider disallowing the use of distributable cash flow, as it is confusing to investors.
