Portnoy Pounded On BUZZ Blitz

Update ( 1500 ET): Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy and his “suit” buddies at VanEck Vectors had a terrible first day in launching their new VanEck Vectors Social Sentiment ETF (ticker BUZZ), down more than 4% in the late afternoon session. 

Portnoy said he “bought 2 million of $buzz at the bell this morning.” We’re assuming he means two million dollars worth. 

He tweets:

“As I said on #ddtg this morning today’s launch of $buzz should be the best thing that’s ever happened to $penn It is an undeniable show of strength in the @barstoolsports brand.”

However, PENN is down nearly 9% today. 

With both BUZZ and PENN waterfalling into the late afternoon, Portnoy gets angry at discount brokerages for not letting people buy his new ETF.

“Hey @MerrillLynch Im considering my options if you don’t let people buy $buzz soon.”

After Portnoy loses more than one million dollars on paper (see tweet here), he said:

“Announcement: I am officially retiring from ringing all bells on the stock exchange.” 

Maybe stocks don’t always go up – considering the Nasdaq just entered correction territory

To bee or not to bee, that is the question… 

For days Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy pumped VanEck Vectors Social Sentiment ETF (ticker BUZZ) to his 2.4 million followers. Telling everyone how he’s putting his “face behind,” his “reputation behind,” and everything he represents behind this new ETF. 

Well, on opening day, VanEck Vectors Social Sentiment ETF (ticker BUZZ) plunged 3% in early trading, rebounding slightly after 1015 ET. 

The ETF (something we previewed to readers weeks ago) searches online sources such as social media, news articles, and blogs for highly spoken about stocks to trade. It then uses AI to identify patterns, trends, and changing sentiment, affecting market-based outcomes. It trades 75 US large-cap stocks with the highest degree of positive investor sentiment and bullish perception from the portfolio, which is rebalanced monthly.

Here’s a partial list of BUZZ’s basket. 

With a dismal start to trading, Portnoy starts the pump. 

Portnoy and the “suits” at VanEck Vectors ring the NYSE opening bell.

On Mar. 2, Portnoy posted an “emergency press conference” video on his Twitter telling everyone the great news about his new ETF venture. 

The internet has gone incredibly crazy about BUZZ:

However, there are skeptics…
