Is Airbnb Your Next Ten-Bagger?

Diary, Newsletter, Research

When the pandemic hit in February, I figured Airbnb was toast. Global travel had ground to a halt, and competitors like Wynn Resorts (WYNN) and Hyatt Hotels (H) saw their share prices plunge to near zero.

Instead, the opposite happened.

While the big hotels continue to roast in purgatory, Airbnb catapulted to a new golden age, and how they did it was amazing.

They turned all travel local. Instead of recommending that I visit Cairo, Tokyo, or Rio de Janeiro, they suggested Carmel, Monterey, or Mendocino, all destinations within driving distance. It worked, and the company is now moving from strength to strength.

My neighborhood in Incline Village, NV was almost always deserted outside of holidays. Now it is packed with Airbnbrs awkwardly moving in every Friday only to flee on Sunday.

How would you like to get a 90% discount on all of your luxury hotel accommodations?

During my most recent trip to Dubrovnik in Croatia, I rented an 800-square foot, two-bedroom, two-bath home inside the city walls for $300 a night.

A single, cramped 150 square foot room in the nearest five-star hotel was $600 night.

All that was missing was room service, a hand out for a big tip, and a surly attitude.

Sounds like a massive, game-changing disruption to me.

Thank you, Airbnb!

I was not surprised to hear that the home-sharing app, Airbnb, was given a $31 billion valuation in the latest venture capital funding round.

The big question for you and me is: Will the valuation soar tenfold to $300 billion, and how much of a piece of that will you and I be allowed to get?

To answer that question, I spent six weeks traveling around the world as an Airbnb customer. This enabled me to understand their business model, their strengths and weaknesses, and analyze their long-term potential.

As a customer, the value you receive is nothing less than amazing.

I have been a five-star hotel client for most of my life, with someone else picking up the tab much of the time (thank you, Morgan Stanley!), so I have a pretty good idea on the true value of accommodations.

What you get from Airbnb is nothing less than spectacular. You get three or four times the floor space for one-third the price. That’s a disruption factor of 7:1.

The standards are often five-star and at the top end depending on how much you spend. I found out I could often get an entire three-bedroom house for the price of a single hotel room, with a better location.

Or, I could get an excellent abode in rural settings, where none other was to be had, whatsoever.

That’s a big deal for someone like me who spends so much of the year on the road.

You also get a new best friend in every city you visit.

On most occasions, the host greeted me on the doorsteps with the keys, and then introduced me to the mysteries of European kitchen appliances, heating, and air conditioning.

Pre-stocking the refrigerator with fresh milk, coffee, tea, and jam seems to be a tradition the hosts pick up in their Airbnb orientation course.

One in Waterford, Ireland even left me a bottle of wine, plenty of beer, and a frozen pizza. She read my mind. She then took me on a one-hour tour of their city, divulging secrets about their favorite restaurants, city sights, and nightspots. Everyone proved golden. Thanks, Mary!

After you check out, Airbnb asks you to review the accommodation. These can be incredibly valuable in deciding your next pick.

I had one near miss with what I thought was a great deal in London, until I read, “The entire place reeks of Indian cooking.”

Similarly, the hosts rate you as a guest.

One hostess in Dingle, Ireland shared a story about picking up her clients from town after they got drunk and lost in the middle of the night. Then they threw up in the back of the car on the way home.

Guests forgetting to return keys are another common complaint.

Needless to say, I received top ratings from my hosts, as fixing their WIFI to boost performance became a regular and very popular habit of mine.

After my initial fabulous experience in London, I thought it might be a one-off, limited to only the largest cities. So, I started researching accommodations for my upcoming trips.

I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Just the Kona Coast on the big island of Hawaii had an incredible 50 offerings, including several bargain beachfront properties.

The center of Tokyo had over 300 listings. The historic district in Florence, Italy had a mind blowing 351 properties.

Fancy a retreat on the island of Bali in Indonesia and tune up your surfing? There are over 197 places to stay!

Airbnb has truly gone global.

Airbnb’s business model is almost too simple to be true, involving no more than a couple of popular applications. Call it an artful melding of Google Earth, email, text, and PayPal.

While no one was looking, it became the world’s largest hotel at a tiny fraction of the capital cost.

The company has 4 million hosts in 100,000 cities worldwide, and 150 million users. That supply/demand imbalance shifts burden of the cost to the renters, who usually have to fork out a 12% fee, plus the cost of the cleaning service.

Hosts only pay 3% to process the credit card fees for the payment.

The tidal wave of revenues this has created has enabled Airbnb to become San Francisco’s largest privately owned “unicorn”,

To say that Airbnb has created controversy would be a huge understatement.

For a start, it has emerged as a major challenge to the hotel industry, which is still stuck with a 20th century business model. There’s no way hotels can compete on price.

One Airbnb “super host” in Manhattan at one point managed 200 apartments, essentially, creating out of scratch, a medium sized virtual “hotel” until the city caught on to them.

Taxes are another matter.

Some municipalities require hosts to pay levies of up to 20%, while others demand quarterly tax filings and withholding taxes. That is, if tax collectors can find them.

Airbnb may be the largest new source of tax evasion today.

In cities where housing is in short supply, Airbnb is seen as crowding out local residents. After all, an owner can make far more money subletting their residence nightly than with a long-term lease.

Several owners told me that Airbnb covered their entire mortgage and housing cost for the year, while paying off the mortgage at the same time.

Owners in the primest of areas, like mid-town Manhattan off of Central Park, or the old city center in Dubrovnik, rent their homes out as much as 180 days a year.

It is doing nothing less than changing lives.

That has forced local governments to clamp down.

San Francisco has severe, iron-clad planning and zoning restrictions that only allow 2,000 new residences a year to come on the market.

It is cracking down on Airbnb, as well has other home sharing apps like FlipKey, VRBO, and HomeAway, by forcing hosts to register with the city or face brutal $1,000 a day fine.

So far, only 1,675 out of 9,000 hosts have done so.

Ratting out your neighbor as an off the grid Airbnb member has become a new cottage industry in the City of the Bay.

Airbnb is fighting back with multiple lawsuits, citing the federal Communications Decency Act, the Stored Communications Act, and the First Amendment covering the freedom of speech.

It is a safe bet that a $31 billion company can spend more on legal fees than a city the size of San Francisco.

The company has also become the largest contributor in San Francisco’s local elections. In 2015, it fought a successful campaign against Proposition “F” meant to place severe restrictions on their services.

An Airbnb stay over is not without its problems.

The burden of truth in advertising is on the host, not the company, and inaccurate listings are withdrawn only after complaints.

A twenty-something-year-old guy’s idea of cleanliness may be a little lower than your own.

Long time users learn the unspoken “code”.

“Cozy” can mean tiny, “as is” can be a dump, and “lively” can bring the drunken screaming of four letter words all night long, especially if you are staying upstairs from a pub.

And that spectacular seaside view might come with relentlessly whining Vespa’s on the highway out front. Always bring earplugs and blindfolds as backups.

Researching complaints, it seems that the worst of the abuses occur in shared accommodations. Learning new foreign cultures can be fascinating. But your new roommate may want to get to know you better than you want, especially if you are female.

In one notorious incident, a Madrid guest was raped and had to call customer service in San Francisco to get the local police to rescue here. The best way to guard against such unpleasantries is to rent the entire residence for your use only, as I do.

Another problem arises when properties are rented out for illegal purposes, such as prostitution or drug dealing.

More than once, an unsuspecting resident woke up one morning to discover they were living next door to a new bordello.

Coming out of the pandemic, my conclusion is that the travel industry is entering a hyper growth phase. Blame the emerging middle-class Chinese, who seem to be everywhere.

The real shock came when I left Airbnb and stayed in a regular hotel. Include the fees and the cleaning charges, and the service is no longer competitive for a single night stay. Total costs now regularly run double the posted one night price posted on websites.

In any case, most hosts have two or three night minimums to minimize hassle.

When I checked in at a Basel, Switzerland Five Star hotel, all I got was a set of keys and a blank stare. No great restaurant tips, no local secrets, no new best friend.

I spent that night surfing www.airbnb.com , planning my next adventure.

The New AI Book that Investors are Scrambling For

Diary, Newsletter, Research

A better headline for this piece would be “The Future of You,” as artificial intelligence is about to become so integral to your work, your investment portfolio, and even your very existence that you won’t be able to live without it, quite literally.

Well, do I have some great news for you. A blockbuster book about the state of play on all things AI will be released on September 25, and I managed to obtain and read an advanced copy. It is entitled: AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order by Dr. Kai-Fu Lee.

The bottom line: The future is even more unbelievable than you remotely imagined. We are at the very early days of this giant megatrend, and the investment opportunities will be nothing less than spectacular.

And here is a barn burner. The price of AI is dropping fast as hundreds of thousands of new programmers pour into the field. Those $10 million signing bonuses are about to become a thing of the past.

Dr. Lee is certainly someone to take seriously. He obtained one of the first Ph.D.’s in AI from Carnegie Mellon University. He was the president of Google (GOOG) China and put in stints at Microsoft (MSFT) and Apple (AAPL). Today, he is the CEO of Sinovation Ventures, the largest AI venture capital firm in China, and is a board director of Alibaba (BABA).

AI is nothing more than deep learning, or super pattern recognition. Dr. Lee dates the onset of artificial intelligence to 1952, when an IBM mainframe computer learned to play checkers and beat human opponents. By 1955, it learned to develop strategies on its own.

Dr. Lee sees the AI field ultimately divided into two spheres of dominance, the U.S. and China. No one else is devoting a fraction of the resources needed to become a serious player. The good news is that Russia and Iran are nowhere in the game.

While the U.S. dominates in the original theory and algorithms that founded AI, China is about to take the lead in applications. It can do this because it has access to mountains of data that dwarf those available in America. China processes three times more mobile phones, five times more Internet customers, 10 times more eat-out orders, and 50 times more mobile transactions. In a future where data is currency, this is huge.

The wake-up call for China in applications took place two years ago when U.S. and Korean AI programs beat grandmasters in the traditional Chinese game of Go. Long a goal of AI programmers, this great leap forward took place 20 years earlier than had been anticipated. This created an AI stampede in the Middle Kingdom that led to the current bubble.

The result has been applications that are still in the realm of science fiction in the U.S. The Chinese equivalent of eBay (EBAY), Taobao, doesn’t charge fees because its customer base is so big it can remain profitable on ad revenues only. Want to be more beautiful in your selfies sent to friends? A Chinese app will do that for you, Beauty Plus.

The Chinese equivalent of Yelp, Dianping, has 600,000 deliverymen on mopeds. The number of takeout meals is so vast that it has been able to drop delivery costs from $6 a meal to 60 cents. As a result, traditional restaurants are dying out in China.

Teachers in Chinese schools no longer take attendance. Students are checked off when they enter the classroom by facial recognition software. And heaven help you if you jaywalk in a Chinese city. Similar software will automatically issue you a citation with a fine and send it to your home.

Credit card fraud is actually on the decline in China as dubious transactions are blocked by facial matching software. The bank simply calls you, asks you to look into your phone, takes your picture, and then matches it with the image they have on file.

Dr. Lee sees AI unfolding in four waves, and there are currently companies operating in every one of these (see graph below):

1) Internet AI

The creation of black boxes and specialized algorithms opened the door to monetizing code. This was the path for today’s giants that dominate online commerce today, Google (GOOG), Amazon (AMZN), JD.com (JD), and Facebook (FB). Alibaba (BABA), Baidu (BIDU), and Tencent followed.

2) Business AI

Think big data. This is the era we just entered, where massive data from online customers, financial transactions, and health care led to the writing of new algorithms that maximize profitability. Suddenly, companies can turn magic knobs to achieve desired goals, such as stepping up penetration or monetization.

3) Perception AI

Using trillions of sensors worldwide, analog data on any movement, facial expression, sound, and image are converted into digital data, and then mined for conclusions by more advanced algorithms. Cameras are suddenly everywhere. Amazon’s Alexa is the first step in this process, where your conversations are recorded and then mined for keywords about your every want and desire.

Think of autonomous fast food where you walk in your local joint and it immediately recognizes you, offers you your preferred dishes, and then auto bills your online account for your purchase. Amazon has already done this with a Whole Foods store in Seattle.

4) Autonomous AI

Think every kind of motion. AI will get applied to autonomous driving, local shuttles, factory forklifts, assembly lines, and inspections of every kind. Again, data and processing demand take an enormous leap upward. Tesla (TSLA), Waymo (GOOG), and Uber are already very active in this field.

The book focuses a lot on the future of work. Dr. Lee creates a four-part scatter chart predicting the viability of several types of skills based on optimization, compassion, creativity, and strategy (see below).

If you are a truck driver, in customer support, or a dishwasher, or engage in any other repetitive and redundant profession your outlook is grim. If you can supplement AI, such as a CEO, economist, or marketing head you’ll do fine. People who can do what AI can’t, such as teachers and artists, will prosper.

The Investment Angle

There have been only two ways to invest in AI until now. You can buy shares in any of the seven giants above, whose shares have already risen for 100- or 1,000-fold.

You can invest in the nets and bolts parts providers, such as NVIDIA (NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Micron Technology (MU), and Lam Research (LRCX), which provide the basic building blocks for the Internet infrastructure.

Fortunately for our paid subscribers, the Mad Hedge Trade Alert Service caught all of these very early.

What’s missing is the “in-between companies,” which are out of your reach because they are locked up in university labs or venture capital funds. Many of these never see the light of day as public companies because they get taken over by the tech giants above. It’s effectively a closed club that won’t let outsiders in. It’s a dilemma that vexes any serious technology investor.

When quantum computing arrives in a decade, you can take all the functionality above and multiply it by a trillion-fold, while costs drop a similar amount. That’s when things really get interesting. But then, I’ve seen trillion-fold increases in technology before.

I hope I live to see another.

 

 

 

 

 

Personally, I Prefer the Original

Ten Tech Trends Defining Your Future, or The Best Tech Piece I have Ever Written

Diary, Newsletter

Not a day goes by without a reader asking me what is the next stock ten, hundred, or thousand bagger. After all, I nailed the 295X move in Tesla (TSLA) starting in 2010.

Can’t I do better?

Well actually, I can, which is the purpose of the Diary of a Mad Hedge Fund Trader. There are many potentially Google (GOOG), Amazon (AMZN), and Apple (AAPL)-sized opportunities out there today. It’s just a matter of time before they become public and investable.

One thing I will tell you today is that they will have some or all of the following gale-force tailwinds below. These will turbocharge the value of everything you own now, as well as anything new you might pick up going forward.

The future is happening fast!

1) People are Getting Richer, as the middle-income population continues to rise worldwide. That means more customers for everything and astronomically greater earnings for the companies inventing and selling them. Everyday goods and services (finance, insurance, education, and entertainment) are being digitized and becoming fully demonetized, available to the rising billion on mobile devices. Thank the convergence of high-bandwidth and low-cost communication, ubiquitous AI on the cloud, growing access to AI-aided education, and AI-driven healthcare.

2) And they are Communicating with Each Other More. The deployment of both licensed and unlicensed 5G, plus the launch of a multitude of global satellite networks (Starlink, OneWeb, Viasat, etc.), allow for ubiquitous, low-cost communications for everyone, everywhere, all the time––not to mention the connection of trillions of devices. And today’s skyrocketing connectivity is bringing online an additional 3 billion individuals, driving tens of trillions of dollars into the global economy and into the pockets of shareholders. Thank the convergence of low-cost space launches (Space-X), hardware advancements, 5G networks, artificial intelligence, a new generation of materials science, and exponentially surging computing power. 

3) Your Lifespan Will Increase by at Least Ten Years. A dozen game-changing biotech and pharmaceutical solutions (currently in Phase 1, 2, or 3 clinical trials) will reach consumers this decade as covered by the Mad Hedge Biotech & Healthcare Letter (click here for the link). Technologies include stem cell supply restoration, senolytic or age-related medicines, a new generation of Endo-Vaccines, GDF-11, and supplementation of NMD/NAD+, among several others. And as machine learning continues to mature, AI is set to unleash countless new drug candidates, ready for clinical trials. Thank the convergence of genome sequencing, CRISPR technologies (CRSP), AI, quantum computing, and cellular medicine. 

4) More Capital for Everything Will Become Abundant. Over the past few years, humanity hit all-time highs in the global flow of seed capital, venture capital, and sovereign wealth fund investments. It is expected to continue its overall upward trajectory. Capital abundance leads to the funding and testing of "crazy" entrepreneurial ideas, which in turn accelerate innovation. Already, $300B in crowdfunding is anticipated by 2025, democratizing capital access for entrepreneurs worldwide. And even during a pandemic (2020), the world deployed more venture capital than ever before, handily beating out the last high-water mark in 2019. Thank global connectivity, dematerialization, demonetization, and democratization.

5) Distribution is Becoming Vastly Easier. The combination of Augmented Reality (yielding Web 3.0, or the Spatial Web) and 5G networks (offering lighting fast 100Mb/s - 10Gb/s connection speeds) will transform how we live our everyday lives, impacting every industry from retail and advertising, to education and entertainment. Consumers will play, learn and shop throughout the day in a new intelligent, virtually overlaid world. This is where technologies like SpatialWeb.net, Vatoms (new digital connections between products and customers), and Apple’s (AAPL) next generation AR & VR headsets will shine. Thank hardware advancements, 5G networks, artificial intelligence, materials science, and surging computing power. 

(6) Everything is Getting Smarter: The price of specialized machine learning chips is dropping rapidly with a rise in global demand. Imagine a specialized $5 chip that enables AI for a toy, a shoe, a kitchen cabinet? Combined with the explosion of low-cost microscopic sensors and the deployment of high-bandwidth networks, we’re heading into a decade wherein every device becomes intelligent. Your child’s toy remembers her face and name. Your kid's drone safely and diligently follows and videos all the children at the birthday party. Appliances respond to voice commands and anticipate your needs. Thank AI, 5G networks, and more advanced sensors. 

(7) Artificial Intelligence is Getting Smarter than We are. Artificial intelligence will reach human-level performance this decade (by 2030). Through the 2020s, AI algorithms and machine learning tools will be increasingly made open source, available on the cloud, allowing any individual with an internet connection to supplement their cognitive ability, augment their problem-solving capacity, and build new ventures at a fraction of the current cost. Thank global high-bandwidth connectivity, neural networks, and cloud computing. Every industry, spanning industrial design, healthcare, education, and entertainment, will be impacted. 

(8) AI is Becoming a Service: The rise of “AI as a Service” (AIaaS) platforms will enable humans to partner with AI in every aspect of their work, at every level, in every industry. AI will become entrenched in everyday business operations, serving as cognitive collaborators to employees—supporting creative tasks, generating new ideas, and tackling previously unattainable innovations. In some fields, partnership with AI will even become a requirement. For example: in the future, making certain diagnoses without the consultation of AI may be deemed malpractice. And try trading stocks today without AI behind you. Thank increasingly intelligent AI, global high-bandwidth connectivity, neural networks, and cloud computing.

(9) Software Will Become an Integrated Part of Our Lives. As services like Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Homepod expand in functionality, such services will eventually travel beyond the home and become your cognitive prosthetic 24/7. Imagine a secure software shell that you give permission to listen to all your conversations, read your email, monitor your blood chemistry, etc. With access to such data, these AI-enabled software shells will learn your preferences, anticipate your needs and behavior, shop for you, monitor your health, and help you problem-solve in support of your mid- and long-term goals. Thank increasingly intelligent AI, neural networks, and cloud computing.

(10) Energy Will Become Effectively Free when compared to today’s all-in costs. Continued advancements in solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, small nuclear, and localized grids will drive humanity towards cheap, abundant, and ubiquitous renewable energy. The price per kilowatt-hour will drop below 1 cent for renewables, just as storage drops below a mere 3 cents per kilowatt-hour, resulting in the elimination of fossil fuels globally. And as the world’s poorest countries are also the world’s sunniest, the democratization of both new and traditional storage technologies will grant energy abundance to those already bathed in sunlight. We are also on the cusp of many breakthroughs in fusion power at nearby Lawrence Livermore Labs as capital, new materials, and entrepreneurs pour in this arena. Thank materials science, hardware advancements, AI/algorithms, and improved battery technologies.

I just thought you’d like to know.
