  5. <<< STOCK OF THE MOMENT >>> YOU

    Air traffic must be a real drag on some companies. I wrote something down. I haven't traveled in a long time.. Since JUST before the Pandemic I was in LA... But there is that way of getting through faster at TSA & the irony that the line for that faster way is sometimes longer than the regular line especially these days... That's pre check. Apparently there is a faster way than pre check or regular check in and it's something called Clear You... and I believe--

    As Clear Secure Takes Off In $4.5 Billion IPO, CEO Caryn Seidman-Becker Eyes A ‘Frictionless’ Future

    • processing more than 2 million travelers in four out of the last eight days. But while Clear is best known for facial-scanning tools that let users bypass long TSA lines and sees its largest member acquisition channel through airports—which drove 72% of new subscriptions in 2020, and 62% in 2019— Seidman-Becker said Wednesday that she hopes that one day, aviation is her company’s smallest vertical.

      “We want Clear to become part of people's daily habit, to go from 12 times a year using it—which is how people on average were using it in airports—to 12 times a day,” she says. “We want to create frictionless, predictable experiences from the time you leave your house to when you get to your office or the theatre.”


      We started in the hardest place: aviation. If it was good enough to get on a plane, where identity and security are paramount, clearly—no pun intended—it's good enough that to check in at the doctor's office.

      Clear Secure cofounder CEO Caryn Seidman-Becker, speaking on her company’s future
      Clear has has a bit of a way to go to meet that vision, but it is scaling: it has secured 5.6 million total cumulative enrollments to its $179-per-year subscription service and a footprint that covers 38 airport locations (which comprises close to 60% of the total 2019 TSA departure volume) and 26 sports and entertainment venues. Some 67 organizations, including Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group and the San Antonio Spurs’ AT&T Center, have signed on to use Health Pass for employees and customers. In 2020, these initiatives drove $230.8 million in revenue, up 20% over 2019 (though the company did record a net loss of $9.3 million, an improvement over 2019’s $54.2 million loss).

      “What we realized quickly last March was that there was going to be another card in your wallet, and that was your vaccine card,” Seidman-Becker said, noting that she had to carry a yellow fever vaccine card when she visited Kenya a few years ago, so the idea was not an entirely foreign concept when Covid hit. The move towards a health-oriented product was not a pandemic pivot, either: Seidman-Becker says that before Covid lockdowns began, the company had started a pilot at a doctor’s office in Phoenix, Arizona that allowed patients to use their faces to check in for appointments.

      “We started in the hardest place: aviation. If it was good enough to get on a plane, where identity and security are paramount, clearly—no pun intended—it's good enough that to check in at the doctor's office,” she says. “We had a HIPAA-compliant back end and being so focused on being secure and scalable to the aviation business meant it was applicable to so many other businesses.”

      Seidman-Becker says that the plan to go beyond aviation has been baked into the company since she and business partner Ken Cornick bought it out of bankruptcy in 2010. “Through this roadshow, we've been sharing our pitch page from 2010,” she noted. “And it says that Clear’s aspiration was to be a biometric secure identity platform today in travel and tomorrow in verticals beyond.”

      Seidman-Becker believes that Covid has accelerated contactless technology trends and consumer comfort with these tools, but some public figures are expressing concern over the privacy considerations around the biometric and health data that Clear collects. Ina May letter to Clear, Senators Jeff Merkley and Cory Booker noted, “Though there are some potential benefits and expediencies, this technology can also be utilized widely and passively in such a way that eludes consumers’ awareness, permission, or the ability to opt out. If over or misused, facial recognition technology risks a state of undetectable, constant government surveillance that can track one’s movements and associations with organizations such as schools and places of worship.”

      Seidman-Becker replied in June by saying,in part, “We do not conduct passive monitoring and we do not collect images of non-members.” She reiterated toForbesthat Clear “will not sell or rent your data.”

    (Bloomberg) -- Online gambling company 888 Holdings Plc is buying the international operations of bookmaker William Hill after seeing off rival bids from private equity.

    The deal gives the businesses an enterprise value of 2.2 billion pounds ($3 billion), according to a statement. Las Vegas casino giant Caesars Entertainment Inc. bought William Hill in April to secure its U.S. assets and is selling the rest to pay down debt.

    The reverse takeover gives 888 more scale to capitalize on a surge in demand for digital gambling during the pandemic. The company’s stock price has doubled in the past year.

    The deal also represents a strategic shift for the digital-only company as it will add William Hill’s 1,400 betting shops, a familiar sight in British shopping districts.

    888 shares were down 1.3% as of 9:55 a.m. in London. William Hill’s 2026 bonds rose around 1.5 pence on the pound to 109.59 pounds, according to CBBT data tracked by Bloomberg, the highest since mid-June.

    U.K. betting companies have been closing many of their physical stores after a government crackdown to reduce problem gambling made them less profitable. 888 plans to keep the remaining William Hill shops open, Chief Executive Officer Itai Pazner said in an interview.

    “It’s a stable business, positive cash flow, profitable -- very profitable -- so I see no reason not to keep it, and keep investing in it,” he said by phone, referring to the brick-and-mortar stores. “It’s obviously not a significant growth business, but it is a very stable business.”

    The company will be able to use the William Hill brand everywhere except the U.S., where Caesars still owns it, Pazner said. The two businesses will work on creating a joint management team, he added.

    888 has been a relatively small player in a U.K. betting market dominated by the likes of Flutter Entertainment Plc and Entain Plc. Analysts at Peel Hunt estimate the William Hill deal will roughly quadruple its size. They say the new combined entity would have earned $664 million in the financial year to March 2021, compared to $164 million for 888 alone.

    888 had submitted the highest bid as it competed with private equity firms for the business, Bloomberg News reported previously. It was vying with Apollo Global Management Inc. after CVC Capital Partners, the owner of sports betting firm Tipico Co., dropped out of the bidding.

    The spread of smartphones alongside technical advances may drive the value of the global online gambling market to as much as $117 billion by 2025 from $74.5 billion today, according to research firm H2 Gambling Capital.

    That’s sparked a global race by casino operators, sports team owners, media companies and private equity firms to establish a strong position in the sector.

    “This is an attractive deal,” said Jefferies analyst James Wheatcroft in a note to clients, which highlighted the merits of scale, diversifying across products and geographies, and cost savings.

    888 will raise about 500 million pounds to help fund the transaction. It already has 2.1 billion pounds of debt financing fully committed from J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley and Mediobanca.

    Van So This trades in London obviously and my Pink sheet version is $5 so it's some fractional representation....
