Well hopefully his investment works out better than the day he lost 70 billion dollars.

Has he made an investment yet? And why would he make investments based on who is elected to any office? The success of startups isn't typically linked much to politicians. Happy my money isn't in his fund, but I may send him my latest business plan. Although later stage investors fricking hate when you have dumb money in earlier rounds.

Did you watch the video? He said deregulation and an invigorated energy for business.

That's makes sense.

That seems too abstract to be actually meaningful when making billion dollar decisions, especially when the baseline is already high.

Has it been discussed that SofBank holds an 83% stake in Sprint, with speculation of a T-Mobile merger or perhaps a cable co. buy to compete with AT&T?

So a businessman passes up a solid win? What business people do you hang out with?

The removal of regulations does though.

Regulations were made to create a pay wall for small businesses that basically made them impossible to organically grow and appear. They were made so only large corporations could handle them thus creating monopolies for the rich and connected.

This guy sees that trump is going to create an environment that is business growth friendly from the bottom to the top.

This is also a main component of climate change. To create green energy monopolies and smother businesses in regulations.

Shrinking corporate tax rates certainly frees up capital investment from corporations.

SoftBank probably will stand to save Billions from Trump's corporate tax plan

Liberals will conjure a reason why this is bad. Just like they do with literally everything Trump does or says.

I'm saying that it makes sense to invest because of lower taxes; it doesn't make as much sense to invest billions because one thinks there is some broad excitement unless there are tangible benefits (like the taxes).

In other words, if Trump didn't/doesn't lower and deregulate taxes then the "excitement" would probably be irrelevant.
