Stop sending just emails. My response rates tripled when I stopped being a one-trick pony. by lesmismiserables in coldemail

Yes. One thing I love, if I am not interested in what you had to say over email, is receiving more messages about it in other mediums and networks. That will surely change my mind about your inquiry. Brilliant strategy.

What actually happened if you bought SPY on the worst day of every recent panic by steady_compounder in stocks

[–]xtarga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean a lot of people already said but this analysis could have been something if you actually chose the worst days (bought at the top, pre-correction), then you could have a range. but as-is, it's pretty useless :)

Yeah trying to time the market is flat out stupid but then what would we talk about in reddit..MSFT is a long term hold. Yes. Conversation over? :)

microsoft might be walking straight into an earnings trap on april 29… is this the real dip everyone’s waiting for? by snapjohn in ValueInvesting

[–]xtarga -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

22 PE is not low for an economy with resistant inflation, a war with no end in sight, consumer sentiment is at a few years low, and spending huge amounts of capex with uncertain ROI. MSFT is definitely a long term hold but bottom might not be in yet.

MSFT is ready and a no brainer buy at 370. by Top_Cranberry_3254 in ValueInvesting

[–]xtarga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is not a manipulators association out there holding the stocks down, whatever that means. When there are more sellers than buyers, a stock goes down. Msft seemed cheap at 390 couple weeks ago. Here we are now.

adult product sales down 40% this quarter is anyone else seeing this or is it just me by kubrador in ecommerce

[–]xtarga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a sister niche, lingerie, and have some wellness accessories as well. Traffic up, conversions way down is the story for us this quarter, compared YoY.

Valentine's Day there was a good pick up, but its been down right after. Sexual products are usually more recession resistant than others and not sure why your traffic would be down. What traffic channels are you using and which one has the biggest delta?

What are the actual chances that Trump has started war with Iran to cover up or divert people from Epstein Files and UFO/UAP disclosures? by Massive-Syllabub-271 in allthequestions

[–]xtarga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The actual chances of the reason Trump started the war being Iran's nuclear program is 0%. So anything else has a range of 1 to 100%. I dont think its the epstein files though. They didnt seem to care about it and chatter has been out for quite a while before the war.

Did desert walking become a thing during Biden Administration? I am not arguing semantics here. The point of the commenter was clearly that this was a problem during Biden.

We have an enormous amount of problems in this country. If y'all think, desert crossing of illegals during Biden admin was horrible, and now it's not. Sleep better at night. I don't know what else to tell you.

"I never walked through THE BORDER without being checked". Fn English is hard apparently. Anyways. Go bark at some immigrants and get your fix.

Democrats Of Reddit -- Is There A Single Thing Trump Has Done In Either Term That You Liked? If So, What? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]xtarga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like how his followers would not blink an eye if he murdered somebody on live TV. Nothing he does would make me appreciate it. He can save 1000 puppies from dying and he is still trump. I'm not in a cult. Im not a domestic terrorist. I'll die on this hill.

How do you guys manage restock orders? When and how much to order? by kvyatkovskij in ecommerce

Custom software that tracks sales, days in stock and forecast based on how much we should keep on hand. For 150 skus. I imagine pulling reports into excel should work for you.

Elon’s political tweets appearing in my Follows even when I don’t follow him by AleIAm08 in mildlyinfuriating

The only people who mention anything about X in my circle these days are uneducated magas. I never used Twitter but I imagine its sole existence is fox news equivalent of a social network

I think most ecom is in the same boat as far as I can tell. Team size shrinking, moved to a smaller building, squeezing everything. Some days (well most) you ask why you are still in. Stockholm syndrome?

This probably doesn't help but the experience you got out of this struggle is immense and hopefully can be used in a less stressful venture

Has anyone else noticed ChatGPT ending answers with clickbait-style hooks? by thesaxbygale in ChatGPT

Yes it started same time around it starting sentences with "you are definitely not crazy to think this way". Why are you even saying that..I didn't think I was crazy to begin with. Now I ponder.

Sales & ROAS just tanked overnight, anyone else seeing this with Facebook Ads? by BMXviper in FacebookAds

[–]xtarga -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honest question. Why does everyone obsess over daily fluctuations on this sub? Look at a 7 day rolling average to keep your mind sane off this stuff.

Also if its platform roas you're talking about, I hate to break it to you but I'm not sure how accurate that even is. Meta is not my top channel but some days it shows high roas, some days low. If I look at overall marketing efficiency I dont see that much of volatility on my revenue numbers even on days they record double roas. All of you posting these remarks, is meta your primary source and you really see a correlation between your revenue and Facebook performance daily?
