I strongly recommend Koyfin as a tool for financial analysis, screening, watchlists, and portfolio analysis.

Sporadic portfolio update if anyone gives af.
Haven't touched the portfolio much in recent months.
I no longer own any gold or silver.
Also have some allocation to CS2 items.
I told a guy at a barbecue last weekend that I had been buying busted small-cap software stocks at 4x free cash flow, and he looked at me with the specific facial expression of a man who has just realized he is trapped in a conversation with someone who voluntarily reads 10-Ks on vacation. He asked, with great gentleness, if I had considered Nvidia. I said I had considered Nvidia in the way one considers jumping off a bridge: briefly, theoretically, and with a clear understanding of the outcome.
I told him I owned a company that sells dental practice management software to 11,000 orthodontists and that the CEO, a 64-year-old man named Greg who has not updated his LinkedIn since 2017, was, in my professional opinion, the single greatest capital allocator alive in North America today, and that I would, if legally permitted, have Gregβs name tattooed on my forearm.
He asked if Greg knew this. I said Greg did not know I existed, and that this was the foundation of our relationship and the source of its strength. He excused himself to go check on his children, who, I observed, were not present at the barbecue. I stood by the grill alone for the next 40 minutes, eating directly from a bag of buns, thinking about Greg, who at that exact moment was, somewhere in suburban Indianapolis, almost certainly buying back stock at prices that will, in 2031, be regarded as the single greatest gift any small-cap CEO has ever given his shareholders, and the hostβs wife came over and asked, with palpable concern, if I needed a ride home, and I said no, I needed nothing, I had Greg, and Greg was enough, and I have not been invited back to that house, and I do not care, because Greg loves me even though Greg does not know I am alive, and the math, as it has always been in every great deep value trade in history, is the only thing in this country that has not lied to me.
Seems like $DIN is executing well and they have bought back a truckload of shares. Dual-branded store development is going to be the bull case. I'm getting back in.
Also added to $NOW
Now I don't need to outsource that part of my job or even do it myself, almost eliminating my need for $ADBE photoshop.
I use Magix Vegas for video editing still, as I never learned to do my whole workflow in After Effects. But may as well have been using AE instead.
Spent my last liquid funds buying the dip in $TMV $TMV.DE
I don't trust the AI-kills-SaaS narrative and have been buying a few names, also $PAYC and $NOW.
You can't vibe code a sales force, distribution, compliance, corporate structure or B2B relationship.
Already seeing early signs of disruption in the office productivity software space, such as https://t.co/fNoExu4ad9, which is quite good at removing backgrounds from product images.
@chivarse Another potential driver of lower revenue and profitability could be further ringfencing outside of Europe, but that risk seems speculative at best.
I don't monitor it very closely, so as to not get caught up in narratives and negative sentiment. I focus on the numbers.
@chivarse A large sustained drop in revenue and profitability would be a deal breaker.
A potential driver of that could be regulators raising GGR taxes => lower channelization.
Europe no concern, as that has been fully ringfenced - all black market activity has been eliminated in Europe.
@chivarse If you mean Europe concerns in terms of Euro/SEK or geopolitical risk for foreign investors, then that is also no concern for me, as I am European.
@chivarse I forgot to add that they are also the leader in live casino, as evidenced by the established competitors actively attempting to copy their games.
Another point for operational excellence.
You get RNG for free. It's not performing that great and I don't pay much attention to it
@chivarse Not financial advice. DYOR. I may have made substantial errors. I, and/or others I advise, may hold substantial investments in the securities discussed. I am under no obligation to provide future disclosures in the event that I buy or sell shares.
