$CVNA looks like it's sacrificing loan monetization to drive units. This is a very slippery slope my friends. We've been short this, and 100% wrong, to be transparent and accountable. But the fundamental story looks like its starting to show signs of erosion on the margin.
whoops $NOW $FTNT,........ guess that run up in software names past few weeks was fundamentally driven huh? Flows mean nothing in this market anymore, it's liquidity AI on or off. Do your own work if a narrative is actually working or not and take a timeline beyond 3 days
@essential6t7 @ChopraUSA Buyside more focused on $WU taken over by now. Was said they launched sale process post-bid. Think market still underestimating buyout odds, add to that high SI.
@mario_cibelli Not for $WU: decline comes from price cuts & higher commissions, which flow straight to profit. If future losses come from vol instead, much of hit offset by lower variable commissions. Plus H2 cost cuts puts break-even beyond 8–9%. write-down unlikely, bc GW tested with digital.
