Introduction
SoftBank (SFTBY) (SOBKY) is not an easy company to understand. It has operating businesses, it has a stake, and manages, the notorious $100 billion Vision Fund. Recently, it announced the launch of a new Vision Fund (Vision Fund II), even while facing scrutiny from the WeWork IPO disaster and poor returns from high-profile IPO's like Uber (UBER), Slack (WORK) or VIR Technology.
I suggest readers not familiar with SoftBank to take their time and Google around for more information. Soon, you will find the founder and CEO Masayoshi Son to be quite the character.
