@majgeoinvesting $ACFN is Acorn Energy not Acorn Financial.

$FOA has lost about 50% in the past 2 months. I have not followed closely since selling (at a loss) a while ago. Any good writeups on the current situation? https://t.co/af4l42xmfd

Well, I guess $MG won’t be buying $ACFN. $MG gets acquired by H.I.G. Capital (investment firm). Next step, let HIG know about this little unknown company called Acorn Financial… and that it didn’t show up on their screens because it’s not a bank, as the name would imply🥹 https://t.co/zgmKJt0EiN

$BTC has been consolidating for about five weeks. Is a weekend breakout/breakdown on deck? I am long for that possibility. It could move either way out of the consolidation but because the last violent move was up and it has coiled tightly at the top of the prior move, a breakout seems more likely to me.

In the $INMD example i posted recently, it has a P/E of 8x or so, and sure it's earnings seem to be collapsing, but what if it stabalizes and then recovers after a few years? In this shape, 8x is not quite the bargain you thought it was. https://t.co/FaIWBcgOsR

$INMD has 8.5/sh of cash, a 14.5/sh stock price, and around my estimate of .7/sh of eps after accounting for capital requirements and excluding interest income. If this is right, that means it's trading around 8x p/e (6/.7) for just the operating business. Even if you thought it should only be 4x p/e (3/.7), that's 3$ of downside (20%) on a 14.5/sh stock. Vice versa, if you thought it should be 12x p/e (8.4/.7), that's 2.4$ of upside (16%) on a 14.5/sh stock. Suppose a rational stock market investor requires a 9% return, and if he valued a stock at 8x p/e, that multiple would be consistent with a perpetual earnings decline around 3% annually. For a 4x p/e that rate would be closer to 13%. Should we value INMD's future cash stream at an 8x NTM P/E, above, or below? INMD's earnings seems to be declining much faster than 3% annually, even faster than 11% annually. There seems to be a lot of competition, a lot of issues with their strategy, constnat negative revisions, constant missed promises and dissapointments. Wonder what's going on underneath
