1/3/25 - $s - Back in sub $23, but small1/3/25 :: VROCKSTAR :: NYSE:S
Back in sub $23, but small
- previous entry was so good at $17 that I sold too quickly (tends to be something I do - working on it in '25 - but i also cut losers too so that's good)
- i like the inflecting margins here, profitable inflecting and mid 20s growth for a unique 7 bn EV (smallish/ M&A -able), for only 6x this year's sales (almost the same growth and GM as everyone's favorite meme - PLTR - but for 90% cheaper on multiple lol). yeah i get they're not the same.
- semis r playing well here in the tape, but in '25 cyber i believe will be an important sector to keep a close eye on and not penny pinch. i think there are more winners than other sectors bc each have interesting attributes. NASDAQ:PANW is the NASDAQ:NVDA and continues to win but is expensive so i'm waiting for mkt to one-more-risk-off to re-enter. NASDAQ:ZS is ownable at 10x sales also compounding sales >20%. and you have stuff like NYSE:S that's more of a high risk play b/c of the inflecting profitability ? marks. also like NASDAQ:OKTA as i've written about which is the top dog in access mgmt (though my sights are on OMXSTO:YUBICO too - but the foreign txn fee probably keeps me wanting a better entry here too).
right now i have a pile of shares and have fwd sold covered calls at $25 for dec at $3.8 which gives a nice high teens capture (return) and i'm playing some shorter-dated C's into jan 17 2025 expiry so i don't need to neck out b/c they're trading slightly more than spot and give me 10-1 leverage.
what do u think?
