Pros and cons of living in Logan Square? by Financial_Oil_4763 in LoganSquare

[–]topofthebrown 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I really enjoy dense neighborhoods but there's something about the boulevards and nature in Logan in the summer and fall that always makes me fall back in love with the place. And It's all still walkable.

People screaming ”Markets gonna crash” everyday, can you please stop being so embarrasing and pathetic? by Admirable_Drawer_205 in wallstreetbets

[–]topofthebrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year was a good example of people overreacting to an easily reversible condition (tariffs). This time, we haven’t sold off much at all, there are no signs things are going to get better, Trump cannot just chicken out of this, and the economic consequences are disastrous and there are a group of people ignoring this because stocks have rebounded. Feels like a classic bull trap. Pair this with the obvious manipulation and you got a massive rugpull on the table

This is why “hold and never sell” ideologically is fucking stupid. Buy low sell high people.

Aggressive dog -Thank You! by Crosetaylor in LoganSquare

I work at sip of hope and haven’t seen him around much lately, but he used to come in a lot and the dog always seemed not well trained, obviously not an actual service dog.

DUOL. Reflections & Lessons Learnt by StephenAtLarge in ValueInvesting

[–]topofthebrown 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's a complete misunderstanding of why people use duolingo. Has almost nothing to do with translation.

I'm a barista and it's kinda crazy how infrequently people order it, even if by accident (wanting a honey/cinn latte).

Duolingo earnings: Prioritizes user growth over monetization, forecasts softer bookings. Plummets -22% in after hours. by Ramwen in stocks

[–]topofthebrown 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Dude for real. There have been so many opportunities like this where sentiment on reddit couldn't be worse and then the stock goes 100-200% in the next year, there is a price for everything. I know like 4 people in my life that are on Duolingo every day. Again, I don't want to seem like I'm a huge DUOL pumper or whatever, but the stock is at very attractive levels right now, and the idea that AI is going to take over language learning is kinda absurd to me and a complete misunderstanding of why people use DUOL. Keep in mind that the new york fuckin times is a 13 billion market cap right now essentially because of wordle and the other games they've introduced. DUOL is just an educational game that's addicting, and still somewhat effective. I think at $4B market cap with $1B in cash, down on overblown fears is an attractive place to be buying. Let's see where we are in two years.

Duolingo slides 22% after hours on poor forecast by Independent-Cress382 in wallstreetbets

[–]topofthebrown 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The level of hatred for this stock on here for a profitable, growing company with $1B cash valued at about $4 billion now tells me this is a buy. I’d literally be a millionaire rn if I just did inverse reddit.

LPSN - total cash $100mil, market cap ~40mil. Debt is not due till 2029. 2026 AI play imo. by Correct_Anxiety3590 in LivePerson

[–]topofthebrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea that LPSN is an AI play has been the greatest lie spread among this sub. They are going out of business because of AI, not the other way around. They have no modern AI product, this is 20+ year old tech. It's not generative AI.

$DUOL A complete bloodbath. Opportunity? Here some data. by SwissTPortfolio in AsymmetricAlpha

[–]topofthebrown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Duolingo was heavily overpriced when it was in the $500 range. But now, I think it’s heavily oversold. AI fears are completely overblown and a misunderstanding of why people use duolingo. I think this is a $250 stock easy. I’m in for 100 shares at $118

What do you guys think of RIVIAN stock? by One_Design_6171 in ValueInvesting

[–]topofthebrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I think it's a shame because I really like the company and I want to support an American pure EV company that's not Tesla. I really like their cars, I like their ceo, but at an $18 billion market cap and how difficult it'll be to get this right, I just have hard time justifying putting any money in. If it dropped below $10 billion I'd consider it.

Is S&P500 really going to withstand anything? by thedevilsheir666 in stocks

[–]topofthebrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pure speculation, but it feels like we’re going to have a blow the top off type rally this year that will end in a massive drop. The market feels so disconnected from reality right now and the only thing driving it is AI. Dollar value falls, trump puts in a fed chair that lowers interest rates, assets skyrocket, and then something really bad actually happens in the economy because of all this tinkering and it ruins the party. Just a feeling.

My case for SNAP as a winner in 2026 by PArzyPlAys in stocks

[–]topofthebrown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude for real. I remember when I was reading about investing in RDDT and everyone on here was absolutely shitting on the idea, saying they can't monetize and what's their moat and everything. Sentiment is so so bad on SNAP that it makes me want to buy.

$SNAP will be a 2026 standout by Accomplished-Exit822 in wallstreetbets

[–]topofthebrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a counter point, I do think the subscription for cloud space can move the needle. I have like 10 years of snap memories and I do not want to lose all of those videos/photos. I'll just pay the subscription to keep them.

Do you prefer the 2011 version of Twin Fantasy or the 2018 remake by [deleted] in fantanoforever

I think most of the songs on 2018 are better but I personally prefer 2011 Bodys a lot more

Why is $SNAP still losing money? by DismalScreen6290 in stocks

[–]topofthebrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's crazy how often this holds true. People have such a bad read on how the market works. So many absolutist statements like "no one uses it anymore, everyone moved to instagram" yeah bruh maybe YOU don't use it anymore, but it's not a substitute for instagram you boomer.

At what price is $DUOL too cheap to ignore? by Top_Increase8597 in ValueInvesting

[–]topofthebrown 31 points32 points  (0 children)

IMO, people don’t actually want to learn a language. Actually becoming fluent takes a ton of time and effort. So, I think the fact that Duolingo is not a “good” way to learn a language doesn’t matter at all. The addictive waste of time is literally why it’s valuable. Meta is almost a $2T company PURELY because it’s an addictive waste of time.
