Lets do some math for retail companies and more
The margin for a healthy, **sustainable** EBITDA for a retail company needs to be around **10%**, because after the **gross margin**—which ideally is around **55%**—all other costs like rent, labor, storage, IT, corporate structure, etc., **consume** more than 45%. This **leaves approximately 10% EBITDA** for a well-run retail company. Now, …
Why rocketlab is so hard under-hyped?

Building a tool that tells you what 30 trading strategies say about any stock. Thoughts?
I’m building something super simple. You type in a stock, it runs 30 solid trading strategies on it like MACD, RSI, EMA crossover, mean reversion, etc., and just tells you what each one says. Buy, sell, hold. Where to enter. Where to place stop loss. Where to take profit. Not …
Don’t let your hatred for Trump cloud your judgment on the market and make you invest with your emotions
Reddit overwhelmingly hates Trump and with good reason. That being said you can't have that hatred of Trump cloud your judgment. Fundamentally, those who hate Trump believe that his policies and tariffs will tank the market. If the market doesn't tank or dip as much as Reddit expects, it causes …
This is a strange market

Thoughts on the opportunity cost of selling during the recent dip?
I'm just mulling over the recent market dip and its subsequent rebound. For those who sold off some positions when things got shaky, I’m curious: how are you feeling about the opportunity cost now that the market’s climbed back up? Did you nail the timing and jump back in, or …
It is odd that the tariff Executive Orders have not been subject to a Court order or injunction yet.
So many other significant EOs have been the subject of Court intervention trying to stop it. Yet the most damaging, and arguably unconstitutional EO, has not been subject to an injunction, or other device to stall it. Makes me think this is part of a plan to allow Potus to …
