Valuation

No one knows much about valuation these days. If experts really knew about valuation Netflix would not have been valued at $300B seven months ago to be valued about $80B today. 

We think that Netflix was overvalued then, and is undervalued today. Do yourself a favor. Buy some Netflix stock today. Check back with us a year from now.

Smoking Boredom

Bet on boredom. People are bored and will continue watching TV. Netflix is the best form of TV today. Netflix is down because it lost subscribers. However, you can bet that Netflix will find a way of gaining subscribers back. Netflix can add short ads like YouTube and no one will give a fudge. 

We think that Netflix will be higher a year from now. We bought at $250 and re-bought at $195. We are down and waiting for it to go back up.

If you want to consider other investments and don't mind evil companies, the tobacco companies are good stocks for you. Economic "losers" will continue smoking. A recession will bring more economic "losers", and thus more smokers. 

Hedge

Don't spend every day worrying about inflation, gas prices, baby formula, Ukraine, Trump, Putin, Biden, Musk, and the global circus or the fake crisis of the day. The news will always find that the sky is falling. Politics shifts left and right. The economy swings up and down. 

Winners win. Successful leaders and successful companies will find ways to thrive and profit in any political and economic environment. Find the winners. Bet on them. We think Netflix is a winner. Apple is a winner. There are many other winners. Not sure about Tesla under Elon Musk because he seems to be losing his mental health. 

You will be burned in some purchasers, but you will hopefully make money on others. Hedge your investments by investing in well diversified ETFs that track index funds. Investing is easy. Diversify and look for value (quality) that appreciates over time. Don't try to get rich quick. You have plenty of time. 

Buy 

Buy and let buy. Buy low, sell high. The stock market is down and discounted today because investors are forecasting a recession. Stocks may continue going down, but eventually they will go up again. This is the time to buy stocks at discounted prices. The time to sell will come later when everything gets back to record highs. 

Only pick individual stocks for fun. That is what we did with Netflix just to see if we are right or wrong. Of course, we invested an amount of money that we are willing to lose. Netflix does not represent more than 1% of our portfolio. It will simply be fun to see the stock gain some momentum by the winter when people are bored and binge watching TV during long nights at home. 

Food for thought. What do you think?

Is Putin white?

                                                             [This post was updated on May 6, 2020.] Is Putin white?  Conservatives and white supremacists are having a Putin problem these days. The standard convention is that the white race is good unless it is trash or mentally ill. Browns are terrorists, illegal immigrants, or both. Blacks are thugs. Asians are too many. Putin became a war criminal and is turning into Hitler. Conservatives and white supremacists don't know what to do about their secret love for the white boy. Some conservatives are dumb enough to blame Ukraine, or even imply that the war is fake. The only recourse for white supremacists is to expel Putin from the sacred white race.

Fortune

Can you make a fortune with the "in-formation" business model? This is where you begin selling information until you can move into the formation of other goods (products and services) for sale.  Slap is food for thought. Philanthropy in writing. Take more at  TakeSlap.com Using the in -formation approach you begin producing information formed from free information found around. You do not plagiarize, but rather create your own spinoff or completely derivative work. You begin selling information until you can make some money, amass some capital, and move into a "formation" phase where you can produce other goods (products and services) for sale.  From the information phase, you move into the formation phase if you want to grow and diversify. Otherwise, you can stay raking in profits selling information. After all, we are still in the information age and will stay there for a long while.  If you decide to move into the formation phase, you begin to develop products an

Return to office: a blessing for mediocre employees

Post-COVID Return to Office: meritocracy of mediocrity  The post-COVID Return to Office (RTO) transition brings great employment opportunities for mediocre employees.  Many top performers want to keep the productive freedom discovered during the COVID pandemic.
