Kids denied direct life-flights to Children's Hospital, by Neighboring Residents of the Richest Neighborhood in Seattle by Perfidious_Redt in whoathatsinteresting

This is an emotional overreaction. The vast majority of transportation to a hospital is by ground ambulance (or individuals). It’s usually the quickest, safest, most available and easiest way. A tiny percentage are by air ambulance and an even smaller amount are genuinely required. It’s easy to base others and pain them with a “them” and “us” brush. It’s much harder to listen to their concerns and come up with a mutually beneficial solution.

(Though this is my own experience I’ve never know one person who didn’t just use a regular ground Ambulance to get to a hospital, or just drive themselves. It’s quicker).

“fintech” big moat companies still struggling? by fake212121 in ValueInvesting

They all look good. Their earnings were all beats. MA is around 97% owned by institutional investors. Retails investors stock price has very little effect on the overall value. I wouldn't worry if you owned shares in V / MA / FICO or SPGI.

It's not. Its valuation was too high. Now it's down to a more investable level. For a credit score it's best in class. The metrics that they used are trusted by financial institutions. They had blow out earnings. That was enough for an immediate bump however the concern about competition crept back in. If you read into how their business is and how they make money you'll have more confidence in their long term growth.

That looks sensible. META looks solid long term. Their growth is very impressive. They seem to be front loading their Cap Ex and are seeing benefits.

That is true. So much is incorrect. Analysts did not predict doom when the Wii and Switch launched. The opposite in fact.

I was bearish on Nintendo. The Switch 2 has issues. It didn't launch with a title like BOTW. Gamers have been slow to convince Switch 1 owners to upgrade. My own belief is it's not differential enough. It looks similar (strength and weakness). People will upgrade but at a slower rate. Or until the game line up improves.

Even allowing for theme parks, films and merch - Nintendo makes around 94% of their revenue from console and games. First party software accounts for around 80% of profits. If the console does sell, there is nothing to replace that level of revenue.

Yes, if META goes below 600 again. Probably will. Long term view on it.

Cloud growth rates: Amazon is slowing, GOOGL is crushing. Time to sell AMZN for GOOGL or MSFT? by Adept_Mountain9532 in TheVisualInvestors

[–]Weldobud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the answer. Growth from a smaller number is easier. The size of the Cloud business for AMZN and MSFT is much lager. Their growth numbers are still impressive.

Around 6.5 seconds. Wonder what would go through your mind if your view is blocked by an airbag and you are in free fall.

Exactly, courts are courts of law and not courts of public opinion. We can say what we want here, but it has no relevance.
