"CVNA at the bottom was a bit under $1b market cap. To hit $100b would likely require taking up a double digit % of the US used car market. A levered near bankrupt turnaround to monopoly MIGHT qualify if we look at just market cap and not EV. 1b-100b doesnt happen in pub mkts I want to write a lot more deep dives this year. Whats one company currently worth less than $1B that you think has the best shot of being worth $100B+ I want to write a lot more deep dives this year.

"$CDLX being a great example of why market transactions by companies can be totally nonsense signals. ATM offering was way too early and unnecessarily dilutive. Thankfully if they execute on product a few % dilution is immaterial but silly nonetheless"

"You also had insider sales months before an earnings report that popped the stock 80%. Just seems like a management team that doesn't understand the value of their own company. Ones that do (such as the Garcia's with $CVNA) are quite rare actually. Similar to $METa buybacks in 22"

"I was using Robinhood for IRA match prior to income making me ineligible to contribute. A 3% cash back general use card however just seems strictly better than my other cards. IBKR still a lock for my non-US shenanigans and Fidelity for large accounts but worth watching $HOOD"
