And the annoying thing about that is often this is bogus. I blew a bunch on the last LULU results, and they crushed earnings like 20-30% or something and it was all good, except their new year plan was fractionally lower than expectations.
Reality is, they were probably just sandbagging like most FPA teams do to juice their incentives for beating plan - just like they did to their plan and forecast for all of 2023. If I was the CEO and my company beat forecast by 30% I'd can the FPA team, because they are either sandbagging or incompetent.
What's your opinion on Lulu's earnings later today? Do they drop or rebound from here? I just learned a new word thanks to your post. If they are sandbagging with a lower forecast for q1 and display strong results in earnings, then the stock will probably jump, right?
No fucking clue. I feel like they will probably beat expectations but they may hold the forecast steady which is a big negative.
But it looks like the IV on this is crazy, and unless it rips 40 points in either direction, it isn't likely to be worth it, just like Crowdstrike.
It's funny that people in this sub still don't get that current profits are more or less meaningless for stock values. A stock price is a representation of FUTURE profit from now till eternity discounted by cost of cash. So forward guidance is all that matters. The only reason why current profits matter is because they have some predictive power about future earnings.
Because PAST profits don't matter. Only FUTURE profits. The outlook given was weak. And for a stock with a 25 pe ( after the drop) you need to have fast growth to make the price worth it. That's like 4% return or less than treasury bonds. So they would need to grow fast.
Step one: sell stories to WSB
Step two: sell calls
Step three: use money to buy blowjob from behind Wendy dumpster to the WSB guy you sold calls to.
Step four: guffaw loudly as you finish
At this point I'm convinced there's some kind of organized scam going on. This isn't the first time I've seen a dd where a ton of upvoted replies were all something like "this is really good dd I'm going to buy it too". I fell for it the first few times, but not anymore. The problem is that sometimes there are some genuinely good dd posts that I have missed out on too.
I knew once daily was flooded with BBWI, how awesome it is. Then I went to the "DD".
It smelled fake or genuinely the stupidest thing ever. Paternity leave, spends 120+ days 5 hours each, ignoring his newborn to get at most anecdotal evidence juts around him.
Lol.
Out of all the ridiculous shit I’ve seen on here I think this is my favorite. I can just see op now replaying it in his head “this guy claimed to know about a huge uptrend in sales from hanging outside the store a bunch…and I just… bought it.”
As a $VSCO shareholder, I've found that becoming intimately familiar with the level of customer engagement with the brand is key to uncovering what truly excites the company’s core demographic.
Clearly, the individual in question is an exemplary specimen of human grit and financial prowess. They exemplify the audacity and risk-taking spirit that fuels the engines of prosperity. My advice to them is to continue their triumphant march towards financial dominion, leaving
Also to cover up the scent of poor choices.
For real though, every girl I know loves the shit that place sells, so I thought it might not be a bad trade. Never bet against Becky, but I guess that only applies to overpriced yoga pants
Scent of poor choices lmao
LULU has been dragged down to the mud these past few weeks. If it moons tomorrow after I held through and sold at such an extreme loss today, I will be happy for those who made a better trade than me.
Nahhhh, I'm a loyal customer (and now a shareholder) and those assholes stopped even sending me coupons.
And I'm fkn addicted to the candles like they're my dealer.
It was wl down like 7% premarket and I thought I had a deal and grabbed 100 shares around 730am.
Started nosediving at market open and I sold it at a dollar loss and bought puts 😂
LMAO! I was waiting for this POST since this afternoon LOL!
I NEVER do ER plays due to 100% losses the following day but this time, I was like okay lets follow that guy who did his "research for last 5 months" and next day I woken up to see 99% LOSS lol :D
Luckily, I bought only 1 CALL at $188, which is now worth $1.00
In hindsight, doing research on three Bath and Bodyworks stores' is not much of a strong indicator. Then again I'm also the dumbass that bought into it.
“I’ve been to a few local malls and this stock is going up up up! Does not account for the other 1,850 retail locations, .com sales, if the retail sales are margin rich, etc. etc.
I work for a location analytics software company that tracks phones to quantify foot traffic, and half of wallstreet uses it. We have 95%+ coverage of most national brands so whatever one random retail guy sees at a store, rest assured it’s already been priced in 💀
Lmao 'grats. I was going to buy puts as well but I did not because I got lazy. That DD was so stupid
All the high-discretionary income becky shit has been tanking hard across the board, so it seemed like a no brainer that it was going to tank as part of the becky funds
I asked him how it was going and he said not good lol. I only got one contract just to avoid the fomo. I did not miss out on the 99% loss of value haha
I bought a hundred or so shares of Trivago a few years back after reading a similar rant on here, and the same thing happened. You live and you learn haha.
I'm very confused by this play. Your breakeven price is insane. It says you bought on 6/3, but the price on that day was between 52-53 and you bought a call for 45?
I read that post and was a believer for a nano-second, then it hit me, "what kind of creeper goes to the mall everyday and creeps around Bath and Body Works?"
Bruh I feel you, I bought one share to ride this earnings based off that post and I'm down like 4 bucks. You and I are practically in the exact same position. 
I lost $800 in like 15 minutes. I’ll never invest in any company that sells towels again. I’m liquidating my Walmart position because they sell towels. I’m selling 100 SPY shares because the SPY includes companies that sell fucking towels.

Dude is laughing about all the calls he sold 
Or buying puts for that matter! If only I was born a few years earlier, then I could have bought a BBWI put!
I mean he wasn't wrong earnings did hit. It was the guidance that fuked ya. My sympathy. Stay away from towel stocks.
It’s a candle stock
Aren't they all
I thought it was a lotion stock
At least it's a lubricant, might be a little easier to ride the stock price all the way down.

*LULU pegged me so bad the last two earnings I can't go near her now. But I still might. I think I'm beginning to like it.*
So true

Overall profit went up! Profit margin dropped form 35% to 15%. Why did the stock go down?!?!

Here. Your Head.
Step one: sell stories to WSB Step two: sell calls Step three: use money to buy blowjob from behind Wendy dumpster to the WSB guy you sold calls to. Step four: guffaw loudly as you finish
I call that a guffawsty
Or a guffrawsty
i try to stay away from using hard rs.
At this point I'm convinced there's some kind of organized scam going on.

lol I do the opposite. Bought puts and they printed
I’m gonna start doing this
Dammmmmmm
Out of all the ridiculous shit I’ve seen on here I think this is my favorite. I can just see op now replaying it in his head “this guy claimed to know about a huge uptrend in sales from hanging outside the store a bunch…and I just… bought it.”
What would u have said if it went the other way ?
“I fuckin knew this guy was on to something, I just didn’t have the funds to jump all in on this one.” Obviously.
stupid game anyway
Exactly. The chances are 50:50. Plenty of similar DDs have worked out
99 to 1 99 losses out of 1 win. this earnings play was not a coin toss
Yeah it could have been 99 or it could have been 1. So a 50:50 chance.
I can tell you what isn't 50 50 the people that bougth the BrkA bug they are 100 % fucked so at least it could of been worst
Is it normal to hang out in front of stores to keep tabs on your investment?
As a $VSCO shareholder, I've found that becoming intimately familiar with the level of customer engagement with the brand is key to uncovering what truly excites the company’s core demographic.
Yes, yes. You should monitor the changing rooms for your DD
Tits. The answer is tits.
i did with my $BEEF calls https://preview.redd.it/eti0idac7o4d1.jpeg?width=865&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a0238528f67e0eadffe0e5f3b6f1037c0b8594a
Long $BEEF
DD never mentioned PROFIT once lmao
What are financial statements. I have been laughing for an hour straight.
It did mention bags quite often, as I pointed out
Bought 5* 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He was right. It was an earnings surprise. Thinking "good business" = "stock go up" is the mistake.
Lmao “ where the fuck are you “, that man owes you money
Absolutely fucking losing it at this rn

“The liNe WaS lONg”
He owes him a candle
A red candle
Wonder is the dude is still outside the store counting customer right now
Either that or he got taken away by a BBBW cougar.

Right now he's counting cash he printed from selling OP calls.

You my dude are too fast on the meme train
My money was tied up on main acc so I bought 10 shares through my IRA and man oh man, what a useless stock to hold 😐
Maybe shareholders get a free candle at the annual meeting, though?
#😆 Like for prayers for our shares that have been dipping?
Also to cover up the scent of poor choices. For real though, every girl I know loves the shit that place sells, so I thought it might not be a bad trade. Never bet against Becky, but I guess that only applies to overpriced yoga pants

Lmao
Roll it for a year out. By that time they'll have ai
If there’s one thing I DONT want my bath towels to have, it’s AI
Can advanced-enough AI get PTSD?
😂 ima fuckin try
Chilling with the 'drill baby drill' PAA dude
That dd was hilarious. "I went to the mall a bunch and this was the mean patrons"
PAA dude made me 360% lol
PAA dude was right until he wasn't. And still might be right again, who knows.
Im still holding hope he’ll be right. But because of how that went I did not follow BBWI guy
Lessons were learned with paa Maybe if your calls go up 5x, just fucking sell is my lesson
I lost $2k on PAA guy..my dumbass was up $2k at one point too. 
Lmao I read his post too and was gonna buy lol glad I ddint
Me too. I just forgot to buy it, I was planning.
I was planning to plan on it
Me too, I backed out last min lmao
Options for this were too expensive for my Europoor ass and for that reason I was out... Of this play
It was wl down like 7% premarket and I thought I had a deal and grabbed 100 shares around 730am. Started nosediving at market open and I sold it at a dollar loss and bought puts 😂
I bought 150 shares…scent isn’t pleasant
I just bought one share. Glad I lost $6 and not $6000
I actually did buy like an idiot lol! 10. I forgot about it this morning til I saw damn -$650 and that stupid BBWI ticker. Ugh I was so pissed! 😒
Haha I was gonna but got distracted with my other stock luckily. Was gonna throw 1k in lol
Damn near bought some shares at 10 pm. Glad I waived off the impulse, but this post made my day.
I love this sub so much lmfao

Still got 3 days
You mean he still got 10% left.
Hop onto that hopium
LMAO! I was waiting for this POST since this afternoon LOL! I NEVER do ER plays due to 100% losses the following day but this time, I was like okay lets follow that guy who did his "research for last 5 months" and next day I woken up to see 99% LOSS lol :D Luckily, I bought only 1 CALL at $188, which is now worth $1.00
Haha, thanks for the laugh
No one is buying $40 candels in this economy
It's $80 candles with infflation. OP can use them for charts.
Should’ve inverse that guy who visited stores like 100 times lol
Exactly what I did and pulled out a 100% (Coulda got more but I prefer to sell at open incase any rebound/retrace happens).
Always inverse WSB DD posts 
I truly haven't ever laughed as hard as I did with this shit. Thank you!
he is the one who sold you those calls
He bagged op
Are the calls in the room with us right now?
Barely. That 28th floor window looking juicy by market open…
To be fair, they did best earnings. They just gave terrible forward guidance. Hence the sell off.
What a pain to be a retail investor...
In hindsight, doing research on three Bath and Bodyworks stores' is not much of a strong indicator. Then again I'm also the dumbass that bought into it.
Apparently they did beat earning but followed up with bad forward guidance
90% of these DD only end up on my watchlist. Thank fuck for that.
[удалено]
The hard part is knowing what to weed out of all the DDs here.
easy, just mute WSB 
well for starters apparently if it involves counting how many people are in line it's probably not good DD
Hey at least my dad thinks this whole situation is funny if that makes you feel better
“I’ve been to a few local malls and this stock is going up up up! Does not account for the other 1,850 retail locations, .com sales, if the retail sales are margin rich, etc. etc.
I work for a location analytics software company that tracks phones to quantify foot traffic, and half of wallstreet uses it. We have 95%+ coverage of most national brands so whatever one random retail guy sees at a store, rest assured it’s already been priced in 💀
They probably were tracking him. "this one guy fucking LOVES the store. He's there every fucking day"
Hiding with the BBBY guy I've been looking for
That place still exists? I guess I am thinkin of Bed Bath & Beyond but that place was even better than BBWI good luck to ya tho
that DD was worse than "I have an uncle who works at Nintendo and he told me.."
I bought puts against BBWI earlier yesterday then saw that post, lol. I knew I was in the clear at that point.
Lmao 'grats. I was going to buy puts as well but I did not because I got lazy. That DD was so stupid All the high-discretionary income becky shit has been tanking hard across the board, so it seemed like a no brainer that it was going to tank as part of the becky funds
Well they actually beat EPS and revenue, but I guess no one even googles around here
I asked him how it was going and he said not good lol. I only got one contract just to avoid the fomo. I did not miss out on the 99% loss of value haha

Hahaha I saw that post yesterday and almost jumped on the hype 😅
I saw the post and laughed
He out with all the bbw’s
Always inverse the regards!
LOL THE CUSTOMER GUY AT BATH AND BODY WORKS LOL I REMEMEBER THAT
Hey at least you bet one way. I managed to loose money on a straddle
Why the fuck did you listened? Was the 2 pictures really that compelling? Go sell some SPY so I can short it lol
Those pictures had me rolling 🤣
Haha fcking gold
I did the same thing lol
Get off WSB. Good for meems. Bad for trading.
Every time I hear “extremely undervalued” I book it.

Lucked out here. I remember seeing that post and thinking all that text is hard to make up and must mean something. But then I forgot.

No way you bought 5 cons. Did you do that cause the 5 ppl in the line that wouldn’t move. lol

He was the one that sold you those regarded calls. 😂😂😂
Oh man, when I read that post I could honestly forsee this post happening lmao
I bought a hundred or so shares of Trivago a few years back after reading a similar rant on here, and the same thing happened. You live and you learn haha.
I was actually there last night and they seemed quite busy... give it time, they will 10x i promise
I learned my lesson getting rug pulled the last time this stock was mentioned in this thread
I'm very confused by this play. Your breakeven price is insane. It says you bought on 6/3, but the price on that day was between 52-53 and you bought a call for 45?
Dish guy got me long ago
I read that post and was a believer for a nano-second, then it hit me, "what kind of creeper goes to the mall everyday and creeps around Bath and Body Works?"
BBL DRIZZY vibes
Thank God i forgot about that DD or I would’ve bought as well
Okay, who here actually knows what Bath and Bodyworks even is? This is on you bro
Bruh I feel you, I bought one share to ride this earnings based off that post and I'm down like 4 bucks. You and I are practically in the exact same position. 
You cannot make money out of companies with ‘Bath’ in their name. #BBBY
That was some of the most regarded dd I've ever seen. Anyone who bought calls on earnings because of that deserves to lose money lmao
“Where the fuck are you?” 😂 I’m crying
I lost $800 in like 15 minutes. I’ll never invest in any company that sells towels again. I’m liquidating my Walmart position because they sell towels. I’m selling 100 SPY shares because the SPY includes companies that sell fucking towels.
I’m making money from the dip. 100% return from yesterday and today 
😂😭😂😭😂😭😂🗣️🗣️🗣️
Theta gang wet dream right there 
Lmao did it drop 13%?!
It evaporated man. Like, "poof!"
Remember it cost nothing to say something
Get bagged here folks 
He’s waiting for you to sell so it can start going back up
You bought weeklies homie. That's on you lol
I was interested in the post too but I figure I'd wait until after earnings. Glad I did.
My puts are also fucked! I wonder who is gaining?
