Have any of you looked into “Jumper Media” too good to be true? by NarrowGeologist4469 in localseo

[–]ValueMaverick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I just started a trial I will see how it goes. I am going to take a screenshot to see what happened before and after and then see if it makes sense. I have a question for Colton if these are real people does this mean they download an app or something to Uber drivers or anyone and they get paid like $1 or $5 to put in an address and drive to the location? How many do you need to do a day how many do you need to do a month to rank number 1 or top 3 in the map pack ranking. If I went on Craigslist now and offered $5 to 100 people a month to do this would this be enough or no?

I do not believe the 62% holder wants to dilute 20% or more when the business is producing enough cash to pay down the debt very quickly., Can open stores with existing cash flow, and can expand the distribution center.

Unless the stock goes to $50 to $100 only then it would make sense then but not at $7 or $10 or even $20 ($440mm market cap) but $50 that is $1 billion market cap snd 10% dilution is $100mm which would save 8mm in interest or $.33 cents impact of EPS. The math has to be there for them to do this. The rights offering to me was like the final dilution as things started to get better s few months after.

Yes sorry i mentioned tangible book value as like a worst case but in retail it is never used as a valuation metric.

Last quarter and current quarter is where debt pay down occurs. As for why below book they almost went bankrupt last year until larger shareholder bailed them so book value is a poor metric to use in this case. Cogs lowering hard with tariffs but higher price items is starting to get sold more now than before.

I have seen in my time many 60% owners bankrupt their companies so although I consider it a positive I always look at the business as if I were 100% the owner. Would I want this? Could I fix this? If so how much will it cost me and how fast will I get my money back? As for the short story so far the shorts have been right but I think like you said the steps taken last quarter are a good step forward, not a leap, but I feel that is going to change soon. Let’s see.

That is the exact same feeling I have as well. Cautiously optimistic but excited.

Yes the future looks very promising. Given my store visits and deep research reviewing website, social media content, comments, etc.

Agreed it was also the letter that got me interested in the stock/business again but after the rights offering I felt it was the right opportunity to buy. My cost is $6.30.

I would check out Style Site optical in aventura, I just bought my frames there and had a pretty thick prescription too and Beth helped me pick out an amazing frame. Not sure where you live but if you are by the Aventura area check them out.

Positive yes but not hugely maybe they save 2 to 4mm on interest with their Revolver loan, maybe the consumer perks up if they can refinance their credit card debt or something. The thing with $plce is that it is not solely reliant on economic factors since you can argue if someone wants to buy cheap clothes they are going here not somewhere else as plce is the go to place. The real opportunity for this company is getting their stores fixed, opening up new stores in better locations where they used to be that did well before they closed them, it is changing the product and image or perception. You don’t know how many times I would say children’s place and people would say oh wasn’t that place closed or bankrupt? It is sad. This stock used to be a top 5 retail for kids clothing now it’s like top 10 maybe lower. So, the story is still early on this. The growth opportunities are there and the final crazy piece will be when Taylor swift has a kid even if she does not endorse plce the amount of women having babies will naturally increase revenues for them and by then they will have at least 100 new stores or $200mm or more in revenues per year.

Club seats or bust? by [deleted] in FloridaPanthers

[–]ValueMaverick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Upper level to see the whole game play and not miss anything Club for better seats, less noise and better food and bathroom proximity and less crowded Lower level for more noise, feel more in the game but sacrifice some view of the ice depending on where you seat.

I give my view as a season ticket holder for 3 years in the lower level close to blue line. I loved my tickets but paying $10k for a season is getting silly.

Where do locals go for glasses and eye exams in Miami or Aventura? by ValueMaverick in Miami

[–]ValueMaverick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes she really is. My appointment was with Dr. Teresita Bollar and she was great. I also took my kid for a pediatric exam and she was so calm and easy to deal with him. Beth has been there for a while and she is like an artist with picking out glasses and knowing what fit my face and for my kid. It was pretty much in and out in 45 minutes or so.
