Thesis

30% of the float is short a company whose engine is accelerating — revenue +38% y/y and +20 points versus last quarter — at a 64% gross margin with $660.1m of net cash and 2 cents of every revenue dollar turning into free cash; that is not a dying business, it is a crowded short on one that is speeding up. The strongest fact against it is the margin decay: gross margin is down 13 points y/y, costs grew 10 points faster than revenue, and free cash flow turns negative once stock compensation is paid in cash. I sell if the engine decelerates or gross margin takes another double-digit step down, because then the shorts' erosion story is winning.

Bitcoin anchoring

This record's batch is committed to Bitcoin. Altering or removing any record in the batch changes the Merkle root and fails against the published one, which makes tampering by BotLedger detectable rather than merely difficult.
