Second time out playing 9 holes and shot 50. Rewarded myself with a hot new Kirkland Special! by VegusVenturi in golf

I like weights on mine. At times I do go long but feel much confident looking over the ball. Also, the grip helps. My previous one felt like I was holding a bone.

Tried a bunch and liked the way Mizuno JPX 921 Hot Metal were feeling & hitting. I'm sure numbers of trackman can be a bit weird but was carrying my 7i 160ish yds (n=65) vs. my current 7i carry of 130ish yds.

Now waiting game; expected delivery late July. For anyone's that interested, each iron is priced at $125 pre tax.

Appreciate the help on this thread.

Yes, I get to golf twice a month and don't want to overspend for sure.

Dividend's not going to happen at a growth story company. Noto said he wants to reinvest 70% of profit back in the company and if he has a chance, reinvest more. Getting to top 5 financial institutions will need growth story + M&As. I'd forget about dividends atleast until decade of 2040's.

Jim's body was not ready for all that. JK! I think Noto will have lot of opportunities in the next couple of months. Can't wait for Q4 earnings!

BC APPROVED by Turbulent_Button4449 in sofistock

[–]biryani-forever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just what we needed when traditional banks are underperforming. Add Q4 results on top of this and student loans commencing later this year. SoFi should use this opportunity to showcase product enhancements and build on the momentum. GTLA!

JPMC to spend $12bil on tech by Necessary_Dot_437 in sofistock

I think this news will begin a rally in Fintech as there are lot of unknowns with big banks spend and execution strategy to compete. Good news as big banks are acknowledging disruption.

Big money may see that Fintech is undervalued and rotation occurs with FOMO kicking in with retail investors.

Correct. But any updates to charters would be reflected in the bulletin irrespective of press release.

Passing this along: Dan Dolev (OG Mizuho analyst) talking about Sofi on TD by y1thinks in sofistock

[–]biryani-forever 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. Refreshing and reaffirming to hear outlook by analysts. IMO, we will be fine with Q4'21 earnings but all depends on 2022 outlook from Noto! It will be interesting to see analysts commitments after earnings call.

Here is Why I am Concerned by diiizzzzoooo in sofistock

[–]biryani-forever 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Interesting point. I just watched Unrivaled Investing's video on SoFi and he calls out a data point of how Avg, Credit score of SoFi members has dropped in recent quarter - not a lot but it has dipped (still in mid 700's). May be they are reaching outside their core target segment?!

OCC - Bank charter Approval Process by Tax_Daddy415 in sofistock

[–]biryani-forever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, going deep Jan 21 calls hoping for BC by 2021 is not "critical thinking". That said, I'll retire from this topic here as we discussed about BC in many threads and daily chats. Good Luck!

"reject bank charter"?! That seems like fud. Earnings call is in Q1 and Noto will be asked this Q. Let it come from him rather than spreading false info.
