$RDFN Earnings look stellar.

Total Revenue up 40% but recall iBuying impacts revenue due to whole home price accounted as revenue, so look closer:

Brokerage revenue up 55%
Other Revenue (mortgage and title) up 120% (!)
RedfinNow/iBuying up 17% Monthly average visitors +30% to 46 million.

U.S. Market share 1.14% up from 1.04% in Q4 and 0.93% in 1Q2020

Average revenue per first-party transaction at record high $10,927

Brokerage transactions up 38% - this is an important KPI as rev growth is partly due to rev per tx

$FSLY Call

CEO: Despite reopening comps we expect continued growth in Q2.

Typically Q2 is flat from Q1 followed by growth into the second half of the year.

It is now possible to buy Fastly and SS in one contract reducing sales cycles.

(reuploaded, bad typo) Highlights privacy as a focus of efforts, separate from security. Edge compute + security + privacy is the focus.

Several wins across different verticals fin services, a cryptocurrency platform, insurance technology company, etc. [didn't catch them all]

Bought $Z and $PINS so far. $PINS 60-62 is in the perfect zone for me if we aren't entering a bear market. Its just off the 200day pysch level where everyone wants to buy. So if it doesn't get much worse, those people will all miss their buy orders and panic buy if it reverses.

Starting a thread to collect some insights on $RDFN.

First: Redfin's Brokerage Market Share since 2015. Chugging along up and to the right, broke 1% recently. Image Second: $RDFN's brokerage transaction over time, by source.

Three thoughts.
1) Immense seasonality.
2) Use of partnered agents hasn't really moved except during the last two quarters.
3) First party transactions are up and to the right. Image

Minutes per day from 62 to 60 mins - estimated by 4 minutes per tournament. I.e. Average games per day went from 15.5 to 15.

Makes sense as they have doubled the # of paying users in 2020 but not going to try and dissect 0.5 games per day as these are all rounded anyway.

Curious to see how the market values $RBLX over the next year.

Bookings are what we would consider revenue for other firms as they defer revenue from currency sales over the average customer lifecycle.

Bookings projected to decline sequentially every quarter in 2021. Am I reading this wrong or does $RBLX have 6.6% Gross Margins for first 9 months 2020 (excluding R&D, G&A, S&M)?

Wolfpack, before slandering a company by insinuating they faked a partnership with the NFL, consider looking at the NFL's own communications site.

Clowns.

nflcommunications.com/Pages/NFL-and-… $SKLZ - Wolfpack, do you know people can look this stuff up? The largest existing shareholders sold less than 2% of their holdings in the offering. If I own 100 shares of $AAPL and sell 2 shares, that doesn't make me bearish on the company.

After some thought, my mistake with #Bitcoin was taking its stated purpose(s) at face value.

Some $BTC proponents say it will be a global currency alternative to the dollar.

Some say its is simply an alternative to gold, aka an inflation hedge. 2/
I accepted that it could be both. A currency and a "gold" / inflation hedge.

Neither of those make $BTC interesting to me as a growth investor.

I have no interest in hedging inflation as I don't carry any cash. Stocks themselves are a hedge against inflation.
