I worked at $PODD in 2007

Our year-end financials:
▪️Revenue: $13.3 MM (+300%)
▪️Gross Margin: -95%
▪️Net loss: -$54 MM
▪️Cash: $94 MM / Debt: $26 MM

Price-to-sales ratio: 49

Would you invest?
It worked out if you did
Double-digit revenue growth for 10+ years is the primary reason why
Companies that can grow their top-line rapidly for 10+ years are rare

But, if you found one, you can pay a big multiple at the start and still do quite well

My 2021 financial review is complete

Here's how I did ⬇️
Overall, 2021 was a rough year for my investing style

After peaking in Feb 2021, it was all downhill

My portfolio ended the year up 2%

That's FAR behind the 27% gain in the S&P 500

Hats off to everyone that outperformed in 2021!
My 5 biggest winners (on a dollar-basis):
$TSLA
$EPAM
$GOOGL
$ESTY
$FB

My 5 biggest losers (on a dollar-basis):
$MELI
$NVCR
$DOCU
$SQ
$AYX

Don't just buy and hold.

Buy and continually verify.

Here are 9 red flags that indicate that your thesis might be busted:
1: Sudden slowdown in revenue growth

Revenue growth drives profits growth.

Profit growth drives shareholder return.

It's a yellow/red flag when a company's growth rate takes an unexpected turn for the worse (without a really good reason)
2: Big downward guidance revision

Most CEOs give conservative guidance

A sudden negative guidance revision -- or elimination of guidance altogether -- indicates that the company is struggling big time with execution
