Some thoughts on $FTCH
With Farfetch, we have a third leg to the story — China.

Here’s a snippet:

Farfetch officially debuted its digital store on Tmall Luxury Pavilion on Monday – a move that drastically expands the range of products available to millions of shoppers on the Alibaba-owned platform for luxury and designer brands.
This may be the largest thematic we cover, perhaps eclipsing the size of the genomics space.
In the future we believe that research shops and analysts will begin to use the word "engament" not as verb to describe activity on a platform but as a thematic.

(Virutally) every company in the in world, digital or otherwise, sews sales rise as engament rises.
First, some non obvious examples:
* More time in an aisle at a grocery story means more sales and loyalty.
* More time at an auto dealer means a more likely sale.

This is how negotiations work. It's game theory, specifically it's called "anchoring."
* Biden puts out a $2.7T infra proposal, knowing that won't fly, but in a hope to get lawmakers attached to the $2.7T number. The idea is "how much lower than $2.7T will it be."

* GOP knows this, ofc, so they try to re-anchor with a $550B infra proposal, to get lawmakers attached to that number. They too know that won't fly. The idea is to change it from "how much lower than $2.7T will it be," to "how much above $550B will it be."
