Down 15 percent this morning
We are cooked

The main things you are investing in is the management team and the business model. More important is the management team. The report today highlights more than half of their staff works in china, whom need to comply with Chinese intelligence laws, where if the CCP asks for any of your data, they must provide it. hence why Congress is now involved again. Some people who hear about this will close their accounts.
Most importantly - MANAGEMENT FUCKED US SHAREHOLDERS by allowing this to happen. They already restructured as an American company. Why keep more than half of your engineering team in China and not be transparent about this? All while knowing how bad this would be for the company, knowing US regulations. Huge red flag, and fuck management.
Either way, even if they can address this, they will be losing western customers over this. Will re-enter after 2 more quarters of earnings.
This is not investment advice, just sharing my thoughts and taking my losses.
Happy Wednesday folks!

This is bad. Really really bad.
Down over $15,000 on this piece of shit.
I should have sold at a $6k loss a month ago.
It was recovering well. I hope they clear this mess up.
The reason why we're down over 10%
Webull took issue with the report, saying via a spokesperson, “It is deeply disappointing that the Select Committee published a report containing significant inaccuracies and unsupported conclusions without ever seeking clarification from Webull.”
“Webull’s U.S. business is conducted from its global headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida and its office in New York City, while U.S. customer data is stored in the U.S. and access to sensitive customer data is controlled by the U.S.,” the spokesperson said via email. “We remain prepared to address any questions directly and with the same transparency we bring to the SEC, FINRA, and regulators worldwide.”

FYI this same FUD already happened back in 2024: https://x.com/OddDiligence/status/2107815333985652946?s=20
I don’t understand why people blamed the management instead of US government
They have be very transparent in their [SEC filings.](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1866364/000121390026041653/ea0283691-20f_webull.htm?utm_source=chatgpt.com) This anti China committee asked for information in 2024. They responded immediately and received no further inquiry over a year. Today the spokesman also confirmed no contact in last 20 months.
Most important, they clearly stated in the filing that all their US customer data is stored in U.S. and cannot be transmitted overseas.
If US government wants to spread anti China propaganda, what is webull management supposed to do? Instead of blaming the management, maybe think of voting for someone less evil in the midterms.
I only did a quick trade in the morning instead of adding any long term position because this stock is full of emotional retails
Happy Tuesday folks!

The drop today is painful and made me check the position and check the files. That is what came up and I think that is mega interesting and might be more than a pure conincidence:
On Sept. 30, Webull CEO/founder Anquan Wang converted 25M Class B shares into 25M Class A shares (1:1, no consideration).
class b has 20 votes and class a 1 vote. and the transaction is large. it is 1/3 of his supervote class B stocks.
Amd this was not a sale. But it reduced his super-voting position from ~83.9M to ~58.9M Class B shares while giving him a large block of ordinary Class A shares.
The timing is interesting:
Sept. 28: Webull proxy/new M&AA
Sept. 30: Wang converts 25M B → A
Oct. 2: Form 4 disclosed
Oct. 7: House China/security report hits
No evidence proves Wang knew the report was coming. But the conversion gives him significant flexibility precisely as regulatory pressure is increasing.
He could potentially use those Class A shares for a strategic transaction with a U.S. institutional investor, U.S. bank, or even a high-profile U.S. investor such as Elon Musk, while retaining his remaining Class B voting control.
Alternatively, he could sell part of his remaining Class B. Under the proposed M&AA, a transfer of Class B to a non-affiliate would convert those shares to Class A, allowing Wang to reduce his voting control without giving the buyer 20x voting rights.
That creates an interesting possible path: less Wang control → more U.S. ownership → lower regulatory/China discount → higher BULL valuation → Wang potentially protects the value of his remaining stake.
Not saying this is what Wang is planning. But the 25M conversion just one week before the current controversy is certainly worth watching.
I am holding my position.
