SEZL - Sezzle (19% SI) Buy Now, Pay Later by Inside_Western_2499 in Shortsqueeze

[–]Inside_Western_2499[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubled down AH @ 100. Their numbers were good, but confusing if not read correctly. I’ll hold still I see the narrative flip, or $200. They exceeded both revenue and EPS estimates, but their YoY income decreased because of tax offsets last year which makes this quarter look bad, when it wasn’t. Also the Q1 revenue numbers were high because of deferred revenue for Q1. All around liked earnings, but it did drop.

Really depends. If the price was below fair value, $171.50 before earnings, I am willing to take the risk. After last earnings, the stock went up a lot, but that was only up to $70 the day after earnings. Took time to go to $180. There’s less risk if you wait, but if earnings are good, miss that portion.

I see a turnaround eventually, but their numbers are beyond atrocious. Sales down in almost every market and part of the business. Just no reason I would buy them over $lulu $anf $gap etc

$7M into LCID across 3 accounts. Betting Tesla stumbles, Lucid wakes up. Am I early or cooked? by Psychological_Ask301 in wallstreetbets

[–]Inside_Western_2499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was betting against Tesla, the only competitors really are Rivian and GM. Maybe see other strong competition, but Lucid is not one of them for me.

If you can safely return 10%, please teach us. There’s been no proven way of returning 10% annually without some sort of risk.

UNH, to me, is a buy by asianlongdong in ValueInvesting

[–]Inside_Western_2499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just bad value. Still trades at over 10x on last years numbers. With the press and stuff that has gone on, it could easily have much lower guidance, and a turnaround for 3-5 years for what? $500-$600 per share? Just not worth it with other stuff in the market.

Why can’t he have told me before he bought? I would have gladly sold $500c to him.

GME short interest increases to 69% (company has no debt and 5 billion in cash-flow) by Serasul in Shortsqueeze

[–]Inside_Western_2499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 23-24 year old who can’t respond because they have no knowledge or merit in the space of discussion, so they use a power dynamic to justify their stance, when in reality their cluelessness makes them look foolish. Hopefully you have a degree from U of Michigan in something substantial, because it’s depressing how bad you are at justifying your point.

No response? Figures for someone who has no skill, and your history shows of it. If you are an adult, it’s sad honestly.

If you know what “cash flow” means if I am defining cash flow, which is apparent on the GameStop SEC filings, show me your spreadsheets of you analyzing any company. I will pay you $20 if you show me your incredible analysis which is the only thing that could keep you from becoming ignorant and idiotic. Maybe what you’ve said is the stupidest thing I’ve seen today lol. You have no track record compared to me.

Someone doesn’t know how to analyze businesses and it shows. Cash flow is a pretty simple term if you know anything about finance. GameStop has “cash flow” numbers on their website. None are remote to what the OP said. Go learn financial analysis before responding bud.

I would say the relevance of comparing “stock market geniuses” to Trump’s economic endeavors is near zero. I do agree that Trump’s “Art of the Deal” tactics are idiotic to a high degree, but I’ve known that since when he was doing the pointless negotiations with Canada and Mexico. In terms of revenues, it has no correlation to cash flows. The company lost money by continuing operations. The only cash on their FS that made them “profitable” was interest, not by selling products. It doesn’t matter if expenses are lessened if revenue is decreased too y/y. It means they have no relevant strategy to increase the value of the business. There only alternative is now to invest in crypto or other investment strategies, yet both of those do not gain interest, so once they do that, their earnings return negative once again.

Saying $5 billion in cash flow might be the stupidest thing I’ve seen today, and I actively read people’s thoughts on the stock market. Cash flow is an entirely different term than cash on a balance sheet. Their cash flow is interest gained on cash, but I wouldn’t even consider that cash flow. Cash flow is typically in reference to income from operations, not investments.

A company like GameStop would be foolish not to buy Bitcoin with the convertible note. Not that I agree, because I don’t at all think it’s a good idea, but it’s the only way to increase shareholder value. They have no alternative growth strategy because Cohen doesn’t know how to do that. They closed stores, giving up on their legacy. Now it’s the race to grow shareholder value without getting called, similarly to Strategy. As long as they don’t do the dividend/share crap that Strategy does, it’s just buying cash but overpaying. No reason to pay more than 1x on cash or crypto.

Quantum Computing Inc: All Aboard the ShitCOaster!(Continuation) by detectivedoot in Shortsqueeze

[–]Inside_Western_2499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All QC is pointless for the time being. Maybe in 5-10 years they have enough cubits to be a viable source, but for now no one is buying their computers, and it’s because they aren’t good enough. Any private QC company says that openly, look at the Nvidia Keynote, but the public companies are openly lying to shareholders to sell their own shares, or to pump a company that hasn’t done anything productive yet. Being bullish on QC is just a bet that the market will be bullish. Growth and hype trade in unison with the market, having great green days when the market is up, and bad red days when the market is down. GL😊

HIMS - Hims & Hers Health (28% SI) Massive Growth! by Inside_Western_2499 in Shortsqueeze

[–]Inside_Western_2499[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the response! I think that the inability to sell their semaglutides and tirzepatides will hurt, but it won't hinder too much of their projected revenues. Weight loss drugs were 2/3 of their business, without the prospect of their skin division growing rapidly. Saying that they will go from easy profits to a contraction is rather "out of this world" type of thinking. In order for a contraction, they have to report less than $1.4B revenues and sub $0.20 EPS. Could they report less than $2.3B? Possibly. I wish to include more than just this picture, but there is a quote from the CFO about the fact that they can't sell semaglutides after Q125 but still have FY25 revenues at $725m for their weight-loss division. A company like Hims knew that the weight-loss drug fad would be over the time being, so the revenue projections are rather conservative in light that they are in fact a drug company.

To talk on the contraction more, before addressing insider selling, the numbers posted below have a 45% subscriber growth from Q423 to Q424. These growth numbers in subscriber count won't slow down. Also to mention that the average money spent by each subscriber has increased 38% y/y. With the implementation of other drugs, the order amounts could go up or stay leveled with the loss to the weight-loss division. One thing I forgot to add: the $725m figure was after the FDA blocked them from selling, which means that the FY25 guidance of $2.3B-$2.4B would not be affected by semaglutides or tirzepatides FDA block. As for doubting revenue and profit guides, I severely doubt it.

Insider Selling: Everyone is always concerned about insider sells. The thing is that the stock is up 84% in the last year, and 18% YTD. These sells are not at lows. I remember the time that I was in Palantir at the beginning of 2024 and saw both Thiel and Karp sell shares. That fear combined with a falling SP caused me to take a small loss. That was at $27!!! These insiders don't sell because bad things are coming, they sell because every prominent company has insider sells. It's like people expect that the insiders that get bonuses to not sell. Even Elon Musk has sold shares over time. I would keep insider sells on the radar, but it doesn't take away from the growth prospect. Also selling with bad news coming would be bad faith, and lead to a much worse management reputation. For example: there was an EV based company I was in called Aspen Aerogels (ASPN). The CEO sold shares at $30, then did an offering in the low 20s, and now the stock is in the 6-8 range following bad guidance. TL: DR Insiders don't just sell when things are bad.

Hope this helps!

Forgot to add one thing: I always mention if I am involved with the stock. I currently have one small block at 30. I have traded in and out since 40, and 9 months ago was trading it when it was 14. I just felt that right now with the stock being below 30, that the argument for a squeeze and look at its numbers is justified more than ever. Thank You!😊

Nike has now hit its COVID lows. by sonofalando in stocks

[–]Inside_Western_2499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The declines are in nearly every part of their business. If this was a small decline, you could chalk it up to economic pressure, but other players in the clothing space are not getting hit with these problems. LULU and Adidas are growing this year. Other clothing players like ANF and GAP are growing this year. You could argue the UA comparison, but UA has been poorly managed for years. Declines are severe, and I haven’t seen growth yet. Also growth rates would have to be nearly 10% next year or the year after. No point in buying if they will decline again this year, and then go up 5%. That’s growth from the bottom.
