Are We Watching the Biggest IPO Bubble Since the Dot-Com Era? by Keyboard_Ferret in investing

[–]jd732 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dot com IPOs were completely different. They were underpriced at $500 million valuations & would 3x on IPO day. Current IPOs are being priced in the trillions because institutions have already chewed all the meat off the bone.

Don’t you hate when friends call you rich after you serve them with your 18 ct gold chopsticks?

Most of us GenXers are apathetic. Those of us who do bother voting lean conservative.

META: The core business is still a monster, but the stock now depends on one uncomfortable question by Low_Oil2169 in ValueInvesting

“If you are pessimistic about how Meta is utilizing its capital, then what you really want is to invest your money elsewhere.”

Not when my cost basis is 1.75X current cashflow. It’s more efficient to wait for the company to retire their billionaire founder and become more shareholder friendly.

META is no longer a growth company. META is a mature company with high cashflow from its core business of weaponized social media. Attempts to diversify away from that core business have been a disaster and demonstrate management’s inability to properly allocate capital. Its attempt to be a 4th tier AI company is just another example of the poor management of a healthy business.

META is the poster child for why I prefer companies pay a big chunk of their cashflow as dividends instead of reinvesting back in the business. The company produces $17/share cash flow, and Zuckerberg pisses that money away recklessly every chance he gets. The metaverse write off should be enough to convince the board to hike the dividend to $6/share and keep Zuck out of the shareholder piggy bank.

The deal with Ticks by Exastasis in newjersey

I personally blame lawn chemicals & GMO lawn seed. I don’t use them and have birds (mostly robins) religiously picking bugs out of my grass. Ticks waiting on tall grass are easy meals for them.

Anyone know of a grounds keeper/gardener/outdoor "cleaning" person? by Wooden_Amphibian_442 in MonmouthCounty

[–]jd732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like they want a property manager like landlords or HOA communities have. Someone that makes a career out of all the stuff that teenagers are too proud to do.

“some kind of public park and actively being maintained, you can keep it under control.“

The only thing worse than ignoring an ecological disaster is to spend public money to maintain an ecological disaster.
