Michael thank you for taking the time to write this insightful comment. I am not betting on one good looking quarter, however you may be surprised due to the short termism of Wall Street that could be all it takes to move the stock massively. I am not familiar with Hinge's new user experience, I do think $BMBL altering user experience will be good or at least eventually due to them constantly iterating and Whitney doing her best to keep her finger on the pulse of her audience. After listening to interveiws I am glad she is back

Fundamental issue with $HHH is there is no return of capital to shareholders and no consistent base of earnings either. I strongly preferred the company as a real estate only situation. He massively overpaid for Vantage too. Will trade cheap to NAV until it’s truly shareholder friendly.

I think that is part of the opportunity so many people see the decline in paying users and click run write off $BMBL. management claims this is controlled and part of a quality over quantity reset. I am inclined to believe them but the thesis doesn’t require it due to a margin of safety. Also ask yourself how much the stock would re rate if say renewed marketing spend, new user experience and a focus on quality grew paying subscribers one Q. To me it’s asymmetric
