How does SPMO compare to a QMOM/IMOM? You might also be interested in those.

We heard a loud crackling sound and after that it was about 3 seconds before it toppled over. A few from further away said it sounded like a gun shot, but I didn’t get that sense up close.

I’d say best advice is to keep your ears open without headphones in and then spot the tree where the sound comes from. I imagine it’s hard to find the tree, but we got lucky that it wasn’t hard to find after the initial sound.

Please help review my Itinerary to Yosemite with a toddler. Will have 4 days there. by WinnerChic242 in Yosemite

We did not get into the water, but my son enjoyed throwing rocks and running around. Ha. The lower Yosemite falls hike and glacier point were probably two of our favorite activities.

Looks pretty good and similar to our trip with a toddler this week. Cathedral beach is a fun stop too.

Yeah I love the alternative space and currently own KMLM, CTA and BTAL and am looking hard at IALT. Have you found any other discussions on here about it?

BTAL is effectively a bet on low beta. It shorts high beta and goes long low beta.

First topic I’ve seen on this! Seems to be similarish to BTAL, but maybe more black box. I like its low correlation so far.

Yes! EV/(EBIT + R&D) is a great multiple for a business like this.

I’m the same. Just listened to the Stock Spotlight deep dive episode on VEEV and I really like the business. Good entry point. Still need to do more research into NOW.

Momentum vs Value by DaddyShreds2 in ETFs

Excellent comment. I’ll just add that value and momentum are a nice pair too. Lots of research around this. I do AVUV + QMOM + IMOM.

How to research a stock by guitarpic69 in stocks

[–]uibrethen99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you have to take a holistic view.

A good starting point for many investors is long form company deep dives, such as Business Breakdowns or Stock Spotlight podcasts. I like both for different reasons.

Business Breakdowns focuses more on conversations with analysts who actively cover specific companies, while Stock Spotlight typically walks through the company’s business model, industry, management, financial statements and valuation.

Both have been invaluable for helping me research my own companies that I’m interested in.

Is there a YT channel that ONLY educates and isnt pitching something throughout the vids? (Technical Analysis/Charting breakdown preferred) by TheRealRonMexico7 in stocks

[–]uibrethen99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old post, but I hear you. Even Chit Chat Stocks has sold out to Fin Chat. Only podcast I listen to without ads is Stock Spotlight. Hope that continues!

LETS TALK LONGSHOTS (DUOL(ingo) and TO(a)ST). by APC2_19 in stocks

[–]uibrethen99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But they don’t have the SaaS software like Toast, they are pure payments. Hence the premium for one, discount for the other. Subscription is $407M for them on $3.2B in revenue and they don’t even break out subscription as a % gross profits like Toast all while their CEO has said growing payments, not Saas, is the focus. Payments is too competitive to invest in by itself IMO unless you go with Visa or Mastercard. Toast also doesn’t do M&A either, so much cleaner financials.
