GBA Presents: THE BARE ESSENTIALS

[stonedinvestor]

Regarding buying the stocks... some I do some I don't.
Did you buy any Bumblebee the other day?
If you say yes you certainly didn't state that fact.

Know why we had 100K views on the other threads? trust me, it wasn't because of you.
Go back and look at the views on your old threads. The ones before I decided to chime in.
About 1/10th.

So yes, you are being rude.
You're welcome.


Van trying less is more is not rude. We can have other speculative threads but we are in a different and more serious market now.

I am only reacting to the readers here at ET. Several heavy hitters have privately asked me to slow the recommendations down and flush the ideas out more. This comes from a place of respect as they realize I am the best that has ever toiled here for free. And now more than ever they need me.

1,500 DOUG BEING PICKED OFF THE BID AS WE SPEAK....

I was thinking at the gym I kind of stumbled into a genius thread for the times-
I use Elite Trader as a motivator for myself. I figure if I care enough to write about it and put my reputation on the line not to mention my hard won funds-- then I have done well. But too much of a good thing is also a problem in a market filled with down 20% stocks.

We need to start think further out and thinking what is being discounted. >

And Bare Essentials is a place to start.-

What is an Bare Essential? - A home, oil, air, water, food, drugs, entertainment, lemonade,
pet food, prescription drugs, clothing & shoes, farm equipment & SEEDS <------

I just placed my annual flower order and it's a good feeling knowing that you are planning for a beautiful future. We sure are going to have to raise a lot of wheat... and that has me thinking about a small SEED company that I lost some money on.. S&W.

Description

S&W Seed Company, an agricultural company, engages in breeding, growing, processing, and selling alfalfa and sorghum seeds. It also offers sunflower, wheat germplasm, wheat, and pasture seeds. The company sells its seeds to distributors and dealers in 40 countries. S&W Seed Company was founded in 1980 and is headquartered in Longmont, Colorado.

Seed Company (SANW) Looks Like A Buy!

$2.4700+0.1400(+6.01%)<-------up 6% downmarket.....

Look at Vol 2.7 mil today on NO news...

Warrior Met Coal, Inc. (HCC)-- I'm going to push this one into this thread. It was one of my last purchases in THE GREEN GARDEN - Is Coal a Bare Essential? in 2022-- YES-!

This is the dude who parks his yacht in my line of site in Nevis.

--> Roman Abramovich suspended
Russian oligarch, who has 29% stake in Evraz, faces sanctions in UK over links to Kremlin

This morning I was half awake but there was a mention of a US Investment house that handles This guys stocks.. and what happens if they are frozen... A short here somewhere... And Banks that have exposure to Russia debt this is going to be the unfortunate ripple here. Behind the scenes the US is probably and ironically applying pressure NOT to downgrade Russia to junk...

Ebay has had an interesting time of it as of late.- They missed earn and has a MASS downgrade day maybe eight houses! It was the old CNBC days with the penguins.

2/23 eBay drops 11% to $48.59 after Q1, FY22 guidance misses estimates

That of course was the bottom.>

- guided lower / Prob the worst part- eBay reports annual active buyers down 9% to $147M

Any good news?- eBay raises quarterly dividend 22%, announces additional $4B share buyback plan 02/23 EBAY Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of 22c per share, a 22% increase from the prior quarterly dividend, and expanded share repurchase authorization by an additional $4B. The dividend is payable on March 18 to stockholders of record as of March 10..

Ebay is an interesting idea now. They have a Virtual Investor day today at 11:00 am. There
is considerable pressure I think on management to say or do or hint at something.

$53 now.

I gave you guys a nice trade today look at the time of the move right as conf kicks off--

eBay Inc. (EBAY)<------- This is buyable right here lets try and get some verbiage....

54.26+1.20(+2.26%)
As of 12:29PM EST.

I can't find anything on Ebay yet. I've asked my brother-in-law to keep an eye out on his email in case his firm upgrades from what they hear. So much cash and a need to excite investors...

If I was CEO I'd take a swipe at fansided that huge sports collectables company that recently bought Mitchell & Ness...

Alright I may want to try something tricky here... Solar is not a bad place to be when the world is short oil -

SUNW
Sunworks BUYING 2,000
$3.36
-0.11(-3.17%)

Sunworks options imply 22.6% move in share price post-earnings 13:04 SUNW Pre-earnings options volume in Sunworks is normal with calls leading puts 15:2. Implied volatility suggests the market is anticipating a move near 22.6%, or 77c, after results are released. Median move over the past eight quarters is 11.4%.

Description

Sunworks, Inc., through its subsidiaries, provides photovoltaic based power systems for the agricultural, commercial, industrial, public works, and residential markets in California, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, New Jersey, and Hawaii. The company also designs, finances, integrates, installs, and manages systems ranging in size from 2 kilowatt for residential loads to multi megawatt systems for larger projects. In addition, it offers a range of installation services, including design, system engineering, procurement, permitting, construction, grid connection, warranty, system monitoring, and maintenance services to its solar energy customers. The company was formerly known as Solar3D, Inc. and changed its name to Sunworks, Inc. in March 2016. Sunworks, Inc. was incorporated in 2002 and is headquartered in Roseville, California.

What is a Bare essential? SUNW may be one such company. The firm has earnings coming up and events are shaping up quite nicely for their report.

That is because Sunworks is seeing favorable earnings estimate revision activity as of late, which is generally a precursor to an earnings beat. After all, analysts raising estimates right before earnings — with the most up-to-date information possible — is a pretty good indicator of some favorable trends underneath the surface for SUNW in this report.

In fact, the Most Accurate Estimate for the current quarter is currently at a loss of 18 cents per share for SUNW, compared to a broader Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 21 cents per share. This suggests that analysts have very recently bumped up their estimates for SUNW.

Sunworks, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise

Second best. But whatever.

Hey I hope you took the "1 year and I finally broke even holding onto this go nowhere dog stock" pop on Funko btw.

Remember in the last thread (last Friday!) how savant you were about that earnings report? Jesus christ, the way you went on, you made Ted's pet rooster blush the way you were taking credit for the sunrise.

One of my scanners went off today and I looked at that thing...
Its been dwelling in the sweet $16's all week.
$20>>> $16>>> 25% loser.
Last Friday it hit $20.50 and boy did we hear about it.
Cock-a doodle-do.

>>>By Tuesday it was $16.

Stick with VZ Stoney. I'll make you money.
These flash in the pan plays, you might as well be trading ES.

NKE and ULTA.
Especially Nike.
And remember, I caveated both picks.

 

[Overnight]

I gave two ideas. NKE and ULTA.
NKE's solid, ULTA has a slight degree of risk with an earnings report on what could be a big down day. China is getting more vocal about siding with Russia.

If it makes you feel any better (which I am sure it won't), Cramer was all over Ulta last week, banging on about their customer engagement. I don't trade stock, but I do know one thing that helps a company, and that is retaining customer count. If ULTA is as good as is presented by the likes of Cramer, it's a safe play, even through a market-wide drawdown. And if memory serves, he would choose Ulta over Estee Lauder, because Ulta has less exposure in China.
