What's the bet on $PLTR. looks a bit pricey to me at 100x rev?

 

Without doing any boring research or reading or analysis that value investors do, my shoot from the hip prediction is that a bunch of know-it-alls pile into shorts screaming valuation and then get their asses handed to them as the stock rips higher in a squeeze

 

should be pretty funny to see, haha

it’s in wife’s basket. Wife has been right more than I do (ASTS, HOOD, ORCL for example). I get grilled everyday cuz she ask me to buy PLTR at 19 and I didn’t. So now i am buying it and hoping it goes down! The sooner the better!

 

On the other hand, I concluded PLTR is a very important company now. It’s selling a new type of software. It’s still very unique. It could be the early stage MSFT when nobody really understands it well.  it’s a small position for me, so i think i can participate a bit

Okay if you're hoping PLTR goes down, it probably means it's gonna rip higher

 

Boy your wife is never gonna let that one go, that PLTR at $19

TDOC

 

Great distribution strategy beats great product. TDOC has great distribution with 90M+ users annually plus hospital systems and is global. Have the data to apply tech. Using tech to help improve both healthcare efficiency and outcomes is low hanging fruit since it's already worked in other verticals, ie : finance, retail, entertainment etc...

What are your thoughts on HIMS vs. TDOC..both as an investor and doctor?

Not sure what the issue is here. I stated I bought ITM and don’t care about other owners as long as they don’t seem to interfere with the operation of this Holdco. Seems like the other owners like cash distributions and ITM seems to run a nice portfolio of companies. They also have shown that they sell at the right price, so it’s a bit like a private equity fund. They are very transparent about the operating performance about their Holdings too, way more so than most private equity companies I have seen. Why would I care too much who else owns this? I down expect a buyout here.

As far as being a dog, they paid a regular dividend of 80c and a special dividend of 2.2€ in May. The latter was from a sale of a holding above marks. Not too bad for a now 26€ stock, if you ask me,

 

First quarter results wee ho hum (due to their coffee business impacted by high coffee bean prices):

First time they announce a small buyback as far as I know :

Yes, @gfp,

 

From the trading calender at my Investment Bank [in Danish, 'Lukket' translates to 'Closed', and 'Halv dag' translates to 'Half Day'] :

Bought a few shares of BYDDY to study it and add slowly as I go.  Got a couple of small fills on POWWP (cumulative preferreds).  I have some resting bids on it, and it's not very liquid. One day I got a fill for ONE share  🤪 .Got a few shares of a nano-cap defense contractor that I am studying, but I don't want to name it because it's tiny.

Canadian stock market is closed.  But your Canadian broker will execute US trades...they just might not settle them until close tomorrow or Thursday.  Cheers!

BLDR

 

wife was driving by a new house being built yesterday and was surprised they got a top section of the house done in a couple of days. She says she saw them using a pre-built frame directly.. i thought this is exactly what BLDR had talked about they are doing in their earning calls about their value add products.

It is possible there was some broad analyst call that I missed.  I assumed some of it was deferred selling after end of quarter window dressing but it does see very widespread across the industry.  (AAME did hit a new 52 week high this morning, LOL)

 

The only insurance specific thing that I know of today is the Bermuda Monetary Authority finally releasing the year-end 2024 financial statements for all the Bermuda domiciled insurance subsidiaries.  December 31 2024 was a long time ago though...

Earnings estimates were cut for WRB at Truist and that supposedly weighed on the insurance sector

I typically don’t do much. But over the last 2 or so months I bought some more shares of my favorite company Simpson Strongtie. Today, price isn’t too high or too low, just about right. The market might keep playing games with share price as we search for the right long term interest rate. I think investing in SSD might be my hobby.

 

I also did a little gambling that paid off. Reading the last Scion 13F got me a little intrigues and followed Dr. Burry into EL using LEAPs. Already more than doubled - but  of course the lesson is - unless you really go all in on a position it won’t have an impact. 
 

Was also thinking about copying with POOL but then what am I doing? I would just be straying from the righteous path. Back to doing nothing.
