As i'm sure you know its probably the worst IPO of all time. The company IPOed around $30-40 a share and did nothing but go down immediately after...to as low as $2.50. Thing is...revenue growth has been good even if the margins could be a lot better and they have a great amount of cash. At where it is sitting now its actually reasonably valued. Zero debt...the company is valued at $450M and $125M of that is cash :yeshrug:. cant go too wrong. I had been monitoring it for a very long time and around when it was at $3.50 they annouced that SAP had opened a 6-7% stake in the company and purchased warrants with a strike of $4.90 as well. Sent the stock flying and I decided it was time to go in. Essentially the companies have a strategic alliance going on as well.

I've held CSLT so long I forgot what they do

As an internet marketer I can tell you exactly whats going to happen brehs...

$FB used to let organic impressions flow like crazy, once they established a base they erased all organic reach for marketers to the point where if you want leads on $FB you have to pay...

I'm killing it on $twtr right now with great targeted leads for free, but eventually $twtr will close this out like $FB and maximize profit.

$twtr has a million things going for it, but just some insight from my perspective on the the IM side of things...

Can you give me an example? What do you mean by organic impressions?

lol when did you get in? i remember you doing some option spreads on it

VRX MS upgrade :blessed:
up 10% hopefully it isnt faded

shyt I think like $8.50 or something... cost basis down to like $7 after selling some puts and covered calls a long time ago. I've long since disregarded my philosophy of OK this isn't a bankrupt company and it has been decimated, how much further can it go down?

The answer is always a fukking lot

:mjlol:

The problem is the market for CSLT options is so thin that making any premium off of covered calls was next to impossible after it plummeted in price to the $2 to $4 range and you're fukked on the put bid-ask as well. Have to pay a put premium and hope there's a serious move (if your goal is protection).

I've never liked gold and I'm bullish stocks. I think it will take some big exogenous shock to take markets down. Which according to @Ill , soros is cooking up now.

He ran the gold price up by fear mongering that the pound would drop 20% right before the vote. Soros says pound fall after Brexit would be bigger, more disruptive than 'Black Wednesday'

Funny how quickly he got out of gold when the world showed they didn't fear Brexit as much as he had hoped.

IIRC, you also thought the doom and gloom scenario everyone was putting out there was bullshyt.

He lost on the pound trade - I read that he was actually long before the vote because he didn't think they'd leave.

He made a killing shorting Deutsche Bank, which had its own issues outside of Brexit, though Brexit helped fuel more gains.
