P/E is back. Funny how irrational exuberance is seen as a normal market and a return to fundamentals is a financial crisis.

You may want to go see what $COIN's P/E is and get back to me.

What’s the forward P/E? Nobody has any idea because their profits depend on so many fickle variables: crypto prices, crypto trader enthusiasm, and competing exchanges not entering a race to the bottom that would put pressure on their margins.

I’m particularly sad to see Cloudflare’s stock having plummeted. Out of all the tech companies that IPO’d in the past few years, Cloudflare is one that the most potential to excel long term. Developer sentiment towards Cloudflare is comparable to Apple fanboys of the previous decade, and their products are legitimately good, backed with tangible assets (datacenters). They also have consistent growth quarter over quar…

It’s across the board. Everything that isn’t completely entrenched is taking a beating.

Hoping to take advantage of the dip to buy into some other great companies that I missed and buy more Cloudflare too.

> Out of all the tech companies that IPO’d in the past few years, Cloudflare is one that the most potential to excel long term If you think this, you should be happy and buy more of the stock. I don't know enough to say if I think it's a good idea, but if you do, don't be sad, buy more of it.

Yes and no. You might not have cash to spare (especially in such a volatile period). Also, investing more might exceed your exposure limit to a single stock/industry.

Seems like most Ycombinator backed IPO would've have been bad bets. Once shares are floated in the public market, retailers are an after thought.

I think this is more of a beta issue than alpha.

You'd have to normalize of the giant tidal waves of financial flows to see of YC IPOs are good or bad thing in reality.

Is netflix really aiming to “replace basic cable”? Seems more like replace hbo and a couple of random other channels. The price is outrageous, but I feel like we are getting to the point where market penetration involves business deals where a fraction of the sub is covered by someone else (carrier, credit card, etc).

Look at the number of shows they produce compared to other services. On mobile so not going to link, but easy enough to find. Pretty clear to me that their strategy is to have a show for everyone’s favorite niche. Compare that to HBO where the strategy is to create shows that are actually good. 90% of Netflix is crap, and that’s not to say they don’t make good shows, they just make so many bad ones.

This is Apple TV+ strategy too. Though there have still been some expensive looking clunkers.

Yup. AirBNB's darling beat expectations but also lost 50% from ATH. Just this week it went down 30%.

I think this is baby out with the bath water situation. Its an expensive stock but for good reason. Network lock in, strong durable brand, sound business model, product oriented. In the right sector where travel demand picks up and work flexibility has opened more of the market.

Disclosure: i just loaded up on this today

Catchy phrase, but what is actually wrong with dollar cost averaging through a downturn? It seems to be the only effective way to invest for the long term.

Yea would like to know any cons in this strategy. I’m dca’ing a portion of my paycheck every month. In Canada we have tfsa’s which allow for a certain contribution per year that is tax free if you get gains. For the last few months my monthly contribution gets swallowed up by the losses and the balance hasn’t moved lol

Why would you want buy something at a higher price than a lower price? I only care about high prices when I am selling.

Cloudflare is down 71% in that same period. Zoom is down 60%. Speculative pandemic tech darlings are no longer darlings and are being hammered across the board. It's going to be a rough time for anyone who had high hopes for their equity compensation.

Good time to change jobs and lock in a strike price?
