Why is $GTLB up ah? Expense dollar growth far outstripped revenue dollar growth? and 117 NR at this valuation is not impressive, let alone the 50% increase in SBC yoy.....

$QXO finally in my valuation zone, acquired shares this afternoon. Rates present a challenge, soft commodities surging and geopolitical could further stress inflation/yields but you usually do not get deal when everything is firing on all cylinders

@reddy67874 @Jerry19880 @piques15 only stock i added to today was $AMZN. like the risk/reward probabilities here on $TTWO, but there’s more downside if player sentiment and engagement data start moving the wrong way.
