Most of my buying was at sub $10 level. When it popped to $25 I held on thinking it might go higher. When it started to drop I set my sell level at $21. Double your money is hard to turn down! So glad I did. I have a feeling this stock is going... — read more 

With cuts happening everywhere, on a scale 1-10 with 10 feeling safest, how safe do you feel with your current role going into 2023?

I've seen it happen more than once. When a good employee gets stuck through no fault of their own while much less knowledgeable and less competent employees continue to advance, they stop giving a damn. They stop going the extra mile, they start... — read more

Headed towards sub $11. Let's start a guessing game, what level will it get to in order to get Farley canned? When it hits $7.99 Farley gets the boot. And Doug too. Clearly data and subscriptions are a total failure.
