I have no idea if I made money or not with this deal

I sadly couldn't find the video of my wife singing a Christmas song, so this general will just have to settle with her being cute and funny instead

Is SAVE still a good opportunity? Thinking about March calls as an anon suggested

i think footy is bad investment. manu has been shit for like 10 years on the field.

financially they are doing good but sporting wise not.

Remember that most these companies don’t need or even want your money in today’s world. They just want to get you into debt as quick and early as possible. Black people have no money and no long term planning capabilities. They are actually the best demographic for the modern lending techniques. I guess the risk that they will default on large loans outweighs the income stream from atm fees, service charges, OTL fees, and retarded interest rates.

It’s a shame how bad this show sucked. Jennifer Connelly was my fantasy girls for along time. Add that to investing and what’s not to like. Boy was I wrong.

Half of women in the US are obese. Put them on the shelf

The lower and upper class are in their own domain. Put them on the shelf

Various mental illnesses for others. Put them on the shelf

American men are competing for 20-30 percent of the female dating pool.

I've started hugging down the 2 year old jaegermeister bottle in my fridge because I'm hungry and forgot to buy food before the holidays
I'm starving

>>57081420
Thanks for reminding me I need to go to the grocery store. I hope you enjoy your anise liquor.

well smg have you received any worthwile mentioning gifts such as new laptop, gpu, cpu or a new phone? [christmas socks and pair of underwear pants dont count :) ]

>>57081420
breh why arent you mooching off your family for xmas?

Buy tupperware! TUP

>>57081491
I got some cheese, but I can't open it until tomorrow. At least I'll have something to snack on Tuesday while gambling on low volume days

>>57081491
i won 10$ off a scratch off.
the food is the biggest thing for me on christmas

>>57081498

When is the SAVE decision most likely to be announced? First week of January?

>>57081187
Spirit?
SAVE
P/E ratio as of December 2023 (TTM): -3.36

I only fly Alaska if I can but Spirit is big with the cheap and those flying to Vegas. Anyways.

Negative isn't great p/e isn't great. They are losing money.

How long are you willing to hold?

I won't draw lines, but looking at the graph. Maybe it will recover but why would they?

Uhhh so looks like there will be MAYBE a merger with Jetblue. Jesus. Also shitty airline but the DOJ are looking to block it. OH this is a coinflip.
Good find Anon. Spirit will go bankrupt if the merger is blocked by the judge.This is America so they may allow it but SAVE is in danger alone.

Looks like 6 months ago JetBlue offered to buy Spirit last year at $33.50. Judge wouldn’t allow it. but. JetBlue announced they are breaking up w American in be northeast so they can reposition to buy Spirit again.

Coinflip baby.(I am going to buy calls on Tuesday dude wtf good gamble here.)
but. It's the DOJ that sued to stop the merge. Coinflip.
also I am the offer to buy Spirit will be the same this year as it was last year but Interest rates generally have a impact on how much investors are willing to overpay for a company.

he Spirit/JetBlue trial is concluding, with the judge expected to rule at some point after December 13, 2023.Far as I can tell no decision has been made.

tldr: Bad Company, Good play. Buy puts/calls for this month depending on what you think.
>>57081095
I am also of thinking of buying Disney Leaps OTM
but its a huge gamble. like DIS@170 2025 Jan 17

100%. They will rack up ATM fees at strip clubs and buying drugs, and they will rack up overdraft fees because they can’t budget. That is free money for banks.

The big banks have literally thousands of white collar wagies sitting in cubicles at HQ thinking of ways to maximize revenue and minimize risk.

Be me:

To the HelloFresh anon. I am thinking of starting to build a position when markets open. I like your thesis and the stock is priced for catastrophe.

But you said that HelloFresh is going to lower prices to gain market share. Is there any proof of this?

NOT HIM BUT HOW DO I BUY HELLOFRESH AS A LEAF IN A TFSA
WEALTHSHIT WONT LET ME

do i go with IBKR or NBDB??

Merry christmas to all of my good friends on /smg/. I hope all of you alcoholics, options gamblers, namefags, muslims, 6 figure income LARPers, premarital sex havers, incels, and the occasional decent person have a wonderful holiday. God bless!

So what do I buy when I sell $80k Bitfarms?

When are you making that /smg/ update? Or are you already too drunk?

>>57081827
Not HelloFresh anon, but you can see all of their cost reduction strategies in the 2023 capital markets day presentation. Factor is the brand that excites me the most from this company, I can definitely see the target consumer here. The fact that they have a 60% market share which is growing and they're probably the only profitable company in the sector is a huge plus. \

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZJFCmN6tbU
good analysis. just goes through probabilities and patterns in recent market moves.

>>57082437
no my logic is minimizing downside risk, i bought gme back then because it was at book value per share and >100% outstanding shares short so downside was hypothetically limited for a short-term swing
likewise if a company stays profitable at least and does not need to dilute shares to much, downside is limited unless you want to bring opportunity cost to the equation

i was a 4-fig poorfag then so i didnt get to fk u money after the pump, never mind selling too early like a dumb fuck

>thinks a financial asset that is priced "fairly" my market participants is somehow going increase by magnitudes without the story/numbers changing by magnitudes

if bank stocks trade at lower P/E ratios, and you compare this asset to a tech stock, it will always seem like banks are a screaming buy. but thats now how these companies are being priced. high p/e means high earnings momentum

>But you said that HelloFresh is going to lower prices to gain market share. Is there any proof of this?
yes, their entire business model is sharing their scale economies with the customer and while opening any serious IR material you will come across this idea multiple times.
https://youtu.be/RibPAaPqkyo?feature=shared&t=164 keep in mind that "lower prices" doesn't mean much by itself. The product value is the combination of price and quality. Simply decreasing the price won't do it or you end up with low nutritional value and bland food.

>>57081991
yes like image related

>>57082736
So true. They should have Mr. Chuddington from /smg/ go on and tell it how it really is. They probably don't even know that society is going to collapse in two more weeks.

Merry Christmas. I was not able to go to my parents house because I have covid, so I went to my aunt's house instead. My aunt and cousin work at the same business as me so we all had covid and just spent the day together watching the lions. My parents moved Christmas to next weekend. As far as the update goes I don't know. I have to work remotely tomorrow because we are completely bogged down with work. The sales staff printed 275 new job tickets this week and almost all of them go through the mail department. I'm probably going to be working 7 12's every week until the end of February.

I’m a former Factor customer that purchased it almost weekly in 2021 and 2022. Ultimately I had to stop because I just didn’t find their product to be cost competitive. It was about $14 per serving (delivered) for a 6 pack of Factor meals.

I live in a major east coast city walking distance to many fast casual options such as Chipotle, CAVA, Chopt, Sweetgreen, RASA, Five Guys, and Shake Shack. All of those places (except Five Guys, which is the biggest ripoff in the world), you can get a meal for $14 (picked up, with sales tax). Those fast casual options all have bigger portions and better taste (probably worse nutrition though) than Factor.

Factor would be incredible if they could get their prices down to to like $9 per, but at $14 they are not competitive with fast casual.

Futures are.... closed 0_o

>Ultimately I had to stop because I just didn’t find their product to be cost competitive.
This is a issue I saw myself while looking at the company.
>Factor would be incredible if they could get their prices down to to like $9 per
I think them lowering marketing substantially together with the price per serving, would itself market the company better imo. The 18 meals per week has a 10.99$ price per meal without any promotions if they reduce marketing expenses substantially and reduce costs, and end up selling the same service for $9, It would market the company better in itself just by word of mouth. Focusing on cost cutting across all segments (mainly marketing) while maintaining quality would market the company better than the actual marketing. Mind you they spend more than a $1B in marketing per annum. Also I think they target a different consumer compared to fast food chains although I won't argue they aren't in direct competition with fast food chains for some of that consumer base.

TL:DR it really comes down to cutting costs especially marketing costs, now that the consumer is aware of the brand.

This narrative is such an awful bullshit lie it's unbelievable. Wage increases do not contribute to inflation because wages have been made worthless over the past 30 years. People supplement wages with pseudo-wages like credit cards and loans which have become easier to come by. This means people who earn nothing have artificially high purchasing power which pumps prices regardless of waht they're being paid.

>Mean returns: 10.5% [230% annualised]
>Volatility: 70% [243% annualised]

You don't have to be Claude Fucking Shannon to know that the position size is too high.

Worst of all, it's not even statistically significant [2.52 < 3]. Relative to what? The paper does not make that clear.

But the strategy which sells equal weighted basket of straddles on the SPX constituents IS statistically significant. But look at that skew and kurtosis!

Because to preserve the multigenerational wealth good family values are essential. The middle group got to their position by saving and investing pathologically as the middle class has-been decimated in recent decades so those dedicated totally are the last men standing. The lowest net worth has been fucked for the last 50 years and are itching for revolution. Torches and pitchforks are likely in the decade ahead. To redirect that energy port won't be enough, the man is going to get that 60% of young men not having sex killed off in WW3 with China. You are welcome, have a nice 2024.

because its financials are stronger than when it first pumped up to $1.4 in 2021, that was a shitshow that resulted from an unsolicited offer from a firm offering to buy shares for $1/share when the company was at 50 cents

it was shilled in smg before that and im the only one left who actually held through that peak lel because im too high on the ceo's projections who wants to cash out when the market cap is closer to a billion, and i mean he is quietly showing results to prove the company has a lot more to run than just a 40 million market cap considering the contracts theyre slowly gobbling up, plus their revenue becoming for consistent, margins also increasing with their platform as a service to each vehicle

the trading volume is so thin thats the biggest problem so institutions dont want anything to do with it
there are also competition lile hayden that they just lost bids on some LA customer, their bid was $10m and hayden was like $13m but then negotiated down to $10m to undercut them,
hayden is prob red on their bottom line given theyve received batches of financing to fund their own growth while my leaf pennyscam can grow on its own without sacrificing bottom line

>>57084835
>>57084943
1/2
forgot to add my source lol

here's some source on the LA contract they were trying to bid on against hayden

https://metro.legistar.com/ViewReport.ashx?M=R&N=TextL5&GID=557&ID=9536&GUID=LATEST&Title=Board+Report
https://metro.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=12372686&GUID=C29B785C-84C0-4492-8535-E0368185EF77

unfortunately i think there was obviously politics involved here, they had a much better bid (that would be profitable to them) but LA negotiated with Hayden to match the other vendors so must be some direct contacts prior relations between Hayden and LA already

doesnt help that Hayden is the typical US company that has had MULTIPLE funding rounds of $50 million
e.g.
https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20231018115406/en/Hayden-AI-Closes-on-53-Million-Series-B
so my 40 million market cap pennyscam cant compete with that kinda capital where Hayden is presumably just obtaining unprofitable contracts just to get their foot in the door
who knows whether that's sustainable, Hayden is a private company so their financials are not disclosed

to me i think it's funny how the company themselves are pretty hush about stuff like this on their own press releases, like they dont give a shit about pumping their stock price since they know it's not time to cash out on their company yet
like losing to hayden was bad and good but there was another piece of data here that was revealed that the company themselves never ever hinted to in any financials or releases

>>57084986

this part here is what im gambling on, that was revealed inadvertently on the bid for LA metro contract

this company has crabbed and suffered for a long time since it's been looked at as a one-trick pony with only 1 big contract to a major transit corporation (SEPTA), while massive and all, it scares everyone else since they're down bad if they lose that one contract
no one cares about the numerous smaller boring contracts with school buses everywhere
but here's the first concrete proof that the company has dealings with a 2nd major transit (TTC)
i fucking hate the TTC but they're huge regardless

ai dashcams sounds like a meme and a scam, and it may fucking well be, but they're siphoning government money if they're successful

Man. I sold my soxl at 30.55 and made 7k in overall profit, which was great since I'm not a huge presence in the market, but now I have 12k just sitting in my brokerage that I don't know what to do with. Can one of you tell me, in your perspective, what might be the play out of these ideas?
First one is the easiest, I just wait for SOXL to have like 3 red days in a row and reinvest and keep swinging. It seems like I could probably get back in when it drops to low 20s or so, and still it at about 30 again to keep getting the cream off of the milk. But I'm a bit concerned about the market. It feels like we're really due for a recession. Will that happen soon? Fuck if I know. Which brings me to my other idea.

JEPI I've heard is a great dividend stock and with it more or less bring reliant on blue-chip stocks, it's a bit more recession resistant than a lot of other things, and if I'm parking 10k in there, the monthly dividend could be neat to either increase my shares over time, or knock off a bill or two every month.

My last idea was just doing the fire and forget method of VOO and trusting that this fake and gay market is going to somehow ignore our stagflation and continue to climb to all time highs. I don't check on stocks often due to my work being kind of hands on, so something that I wouldn't have to baby world be nice.

If I could get some perspective on just what might be the best play here, I'd really appreciate anyone helping my retarded ass out.
And a merry Christmas to you all as well

>>57085230
>has any substantial amount of money to make a difference in the stock price
it's a pennyscam
it's not hard to hold a bigger position than the average volume lel

the fact i even feel ok mentioning the ticker now is precisely because i already had my fills and the coinflip this week might rekt me back to silence for a couple years again so i want to at least let some ppl know i was still here for a few moments

i mean fuck, look at this wick that causes the sp to momentarily go up +10% just because someone wants to buy a big 5-fig position at once, then immediately dumps back down -10% because of tiny nibbles

thats why no institution want or can even enter this pennyshit
even a dead pennyscam like bayhorse silver has a larger volume than this, and whatever the garbage don pennyscam was again

1) pretty sure warren doesn't run most of the money anymore. the ideas coming out of there don't sync up anymore. OXY is the only recent thing that definitely has warren's signature, but ted and greg would have done it the same.
2) B is fully priced, maybe overpriced, at $350. start a position if you absolutely have to, but it was $240-260 just 5-6 months ago and BRK stopped repurchasing itself above $260.
okay pure speculative part now
i think todd, ted, greg and ajit are in control of the vast majority of the portfolio now. greg runs BHE and oversees non-insurance, and ajit of course runs the geico book, albeit indirectly, because he oversees all the insurance. todd and ted are the capital allocators that you will see on tv for years to come. ajit won't do that stuff and i doubt greg likes it much.
i called this too early: i think i said greg and ajit would be at the table for 2023, maybe i said it for 2022 too. regardless, i still think all four of them will be sitting next to warren in 2024 at the annual meeting. even more sure of it now. just put yourself in his shoes. could you bear to be up there alone without charlie?
at a minimum, greg should be up there. and really they all need to start answering audience questions. maybe todd gets a pass because he still counts as a manager and the managers all sit down front. maybe he doesn't like the attention.

>>57088268
I finally got passed the part. I really like these remakes. Capcom actually knows their audience.

>>57088167
It depends.
I don't think I'm becoming any worse at games I've already played at some point in the past when I come back to them.
I could still destroy any zoomer in a match of HoMM3 and get a confident-ish win in Quake 3 any day of the week. I'd be relatively confident in a team fortress 1v1 on most of the classes too.
I cleared Sekiro recently and had an absolute blast while doing it, despite S oY s bitching about it being too hard.
We play Darktide or Vermintide 2 when me and the boys can get a 4 stack going and do just fine on the highest available challenge levels.

On the other hand, trying anything outside my comfort zone like gook-click style RTS games or battle royales just doesn't end well. I tried something called Ring of Elysium a couple years back and I'd die without even knowing what shot me.

I think games/genres might work sort of like languages - it gets harder and harder to introduce yourself to something new the older you get. But it's not like you're going to completely forget one once you learn it to a decent level at a younger age.

I haven't the slightest idea how one gets addicted to gambling. The odds are stacked against you, something something the house always wins.

Do shares, options are to expensive. Buyout price in total is 33.5, a part of that 2.5 was paid out in Q1 2023 or before, then a 0.1 per share every month of 2023 totaling 1.2. The max price is now 29.8. Look at https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/66962142/united-states-of-america-v-jetblue-airways-corporation/?page=3.. Look at document 450 and 451 the end trial brief for both DOJ and JetBlue. You can also see proposed conclusion to law and finding of facts of each submitted 12/13/23. At 17 a share the market is still calling this a coin flip, and the rise from 15.5-17 has only been after Powell triggering risk on in the markets. I see this as passing 90%.
