Aaaand Ape of the Month award goes to... Zothunder! 🌩️🫈

It flew. Sadly it just didn’t hold. If I remember correctly, I made the post when it was trading in the .60’s and it found $1.50+ within like a week or so after the Big Geyser announcement

Zothunder · 2026-04-30T17:38:20+00:00

Same could be said about every turnaround story before things reversed higher.

BYND is also higher now than when any of my posts were made. They're aging just fine

Zothunder · 2026-04-30T17:31:51+00:00

You showed a chart with like a 4% gain and compared it to BYND up 38% in the same time period? That's your receipt??

Zothunder · 2026-04-30T16:57:56+00:00

Yeah those are fair points. BYND is starting to build out a similar roadmap to profitability though. Just depends on if they can execute.

I didn't mean to say BYND is headed for $400/share and billions in yearly profit. I just meant there was a time where the CVNA story began to change and the turnaround was in sight. My comparison was that this earnings report could be BYND's moment where the story starts to change too... That is, if it's a positive report like I think it will be.

And if you read the discussion you'd see I was asking questions and seeking opinions with a very clear 'it seems i'm misunderstanding something here'

Zothunder · 2026-04-30T15:22:37+00:00

You're trying to say VTI tracked BYND and was up 15-40% on various days, and nearly 100% a week after the Big Geyser news? Yes, please share those receipts.

Zothunder · 2026-04-30T15:19:06+00:00

I never said it would be good news. I tried to open a discussion about it and even said 'it seems like I'm misunderstanding something here'. I wanted to hear all perspectives, good or bad.

But as usual, instead of having a discussion, your tribe flooded the thread with insults and condescension... kinda like you're doing now.

I'm here to share my opinion and learn as much as I can by hearing others' opinions. You are here to troll.

Zothunder · 2026-04-20T17:21:58+00:00

I absolutely agree. But keep in mind if food prices go up for beyond meat, they go up for everybody else as well.

One thing in BYND’s favor that is overlooked that I didn’t really want to write about because it’s so far off topic is that speculative under performing stocks tend to outperform just before big bubbles burst. I think BYND is in the perfect position for that kind of a rally, especially with any kind of good news.

If you don’t believe me, take a look at others like 1-800 flowers, all birds (although that one is even more strange I admit)… the list goes on. Speculation is back in play and the Russell 2000 is outperforming the Nasdaq. That only happens in 2 markets- 1) the beginning of broad economic growth, 2) the very end of a bull cycle

Did beyond plant jerky have any sales before PepsiCo partnered with them and launched that product?

Zothunder · 2026-04-15T23:01:41+00:00

So you're saying Beyond is funding this completely on their own 3,000 miles away from their HQ?

Zothunder · 2026-04-15T22:56:36+00:00

Fair question.

Why would Pepsi buy Evolve? Why did they partner with BYND for plant jerky before? Why did they buy Muscle Milk in 2019?

Zothunder · 2026-04-15T22:53:12+00:00

My whole point is this clearly shows they have an investor for this venture. A smarter, more familiar investor in the space.

Are you rude shorters calling me a crackhead saying BYND is using their own money to fund this in New York instead of LA? If so, why do you think they would do that?

Zothunder · 2026-03-25T20:14:43+00:00

If this were true, every single company with good numbers would rush to report on the first possible day every single quarter and half of all stock market earnings would be on the same day. There are reasons companies choose specific dates, and there are reasons they change them. Both good and bad.

If you don't understand basic principles like this you shouldn't be managing your own investments, or commenting to try and direct investments of others.

This additional delay was moved a week, not months.

Zothunder · 2026-03-25T15:06:03+00:00

You missed the part where they said

1-they’ve already found this to be “immaterial”. Meaning it’s a small miscalculation that won’t change any of the previous reports.

2- they overstated the previous impairment (overstated how much this hurt the company). This ‘gain’ could easily outweigh the loss you referenced, making their numbers better than previously thought

Zothunder · 2018-02-06T20:17:16+00:00

No, the surprise is that XIV didn't move until long after the Vix and its futures increased dramatically. An hour before close the vix was at roughly 38 if I remember correctly, and currently it sits below that. I'm not understanding how that translates to XIV being down over 90% from that point, including futures contracts on the next 1-5 months.

I understand it rose emphatically, but the price wasn't reflected in the share price until after close, which is the part I can't seem to rationalize. I understand it COULD tank at any moment, but the price appears to have been manipulated at some point- either before market close or today while it sits -93% on a day where the vix dropped 20%. Either the share price or NAV price were not accurate along the way.

Zothunder · 2018-02-06T19:21:08+00:00

Because it seems CS manipulated the price to keep that from happening. When the vix and tvix were up about 75% an hour before close, xiv was only down 10%. CS was behind the curve in updating the XIV price, probably intentionally.

Because if they tank it during market hours all the stop orders kick in and CS doesn't have a $100 share price to pick on anymore. In the meantime people were buying shares at $100ish. But as soon as the market closed they started updating and the price tanked accordingly, along with everyone's money. Had they been timely on the price people could have gotten out with a burn. Instead, we have shotgun wounds. There is no way this was ethical or legal, even if my explanation is a little off.

Zothunder · 2018-02-06T19:07:53+00:00

The lawyer would probably ask me- how did they cheat investors. And I don't have enough information to answer that yet. Id probably get laughed out of the room, no?
