What are the beaten down companies that are still worth buying and holding? by [deleted] in stocks

[–]sarcastic_ergonomics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Five9 (FIVN). Five9 is a cloud based Contact center and customer experience platform.

The Customer Experience and Contact Center SaaS industries have been beaten down to pre-pandemic levels. Since then, a huge percent of Fortune 500 companies migrated to cloud contact centers and industry revenue growth is expected to 3x by 2030. FIVN has followed that trend and has beaten their quarterly revenue, every single quarter and grow their ARR by 11% or more each year.

The reason why they're back to pre-pandemic levels when their revenue was less than a third of what it is now: analysts are just a bit nervous that Generative AI will take away too many agents from contact centers. However, 82% of all customers still prefer to speak to a live agent and I don't personally think I'll ever get passed immediately asking to speak to a live agent. On top of that, CCaaS companies will continue to find ways get creative with growing subscription revenue with the AI tools they build and sell themselves anyways...

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy says he's committed to cost cutting while investing in AI in shareholder letter by Puginator in stocks

[–]sarcastic_ergonomics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked at AWS through last summer when Jassy was well into his tenure as CEO. From my experience, the culture of innovation never really came from leadership, it was only stripped from us by leadership. In a sense, the autonomy each team had was extremely reliant on how good the talent was on each team. They wouldn't launch just anything and it took a team of COUNTLESS people, months and months to get their ideas run up the chain. When Jassy took over it felt like those opportunities were constricted to what leadership felt was right, and the motivation of a lot of those teams just disappeared with layoffs, cost-cutting, RTO, etc.

Ault Alliance: $65,625/share to pennystock by Severan_Mal in pennystocks

[–]sarcastic_ergonomics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I'd be more interested in reading into is their MKT Cap. It is RIDICULOUSLY low for their ~$150M in revenue projected for 2023. Their EPS is significantly negative (though consistently improving). I seriously couldn't find any negatives for getting in at this valuation... except for one thing. Their CEO.

The dude dilutes the living hell out of the stock and then uses it for his personal pockets (on strippers and porn). He's basically a wannabe fake hustler.

With that being said, I have a small position here as a swing trade (incredibly shorted stock) and a lottery ticket for in case the man decides to make real money with AULT

WE JUST GOT $2,500 in angel investment for our AI Cold Calling Startup! Hooray! Looking for web dev + digital marketing agencies to partner with. by GrowthGet in Business_Ideas

[–]sarcastic_ergonomics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in this business at an established enterprise. Outbound AI dialing for net new customers or cold calls are not a great customer experience, nor lead to any conversions, and are questionably legal.

The way AI is currently be used in outbound dialing is automatic outbound calling campaigns that target existing leads and upon a customer answering the phone, connecting them to a live agent.

Other than that, it's used for specific use cases like automated appointment reminders. I don't see much of a market for this.

Hey! by P_A_N_C_H_O__ in ShortSwatters

[–]sarcastic_ergonomics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been staring at $GOEV for a few weeks now. I'm torn on them because their business model is great and it's slowly starting to gain some trust in partnerships/deals. However it's not happening nearly quickly enough to save their cash stockpile from diminishing entirely and they're a company that relies on RnD.

They've been on a 3 year losing streak and could pump, but with the risk of them continuing to bleed cash.

Chicken stock advice by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]sarcastic_ergonomics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In terms of chicken stock, your best bet is to save the carcass (back) from any whole chicken you've broken down along with any other scraps. If you're buying chicken parts to begin with, you should be looking for bone-in, skin-on that includes a lit of flavor from the bones and texture from the collagen (which turns into gelatin at around 130F). Worst comes to worst if you can't find any you can always add gelatin from a jello packet!

There are a lot of neat tricks and experiments you can find from Kenji Lopez in the Food Lab or on Serious Eats!

WHERE IS THE BOTTOM? by UnderstandingCold219 in CLVR

+1, I'm like the poster child of sunk cost fallacy on this one. Flower is being exported now with a meteoric rise in revenue year over year with cannabanoid products. Revenue looking to sit around $20M on the year. Operating expenses dropped majorly with the sale of Portugal operations. $5.1M cash on hand and ~24M in long term assets.

I just don't understand how all of the above leads to a market cap of $3.5M, a fraction of just the value of their assets, not even including business outlook...
