    So, what about the accusations Harry Markopolos made against GE?

    In light of the large amount of fraud and subsequent fall of Luckin, I'm interested what /r/SecurityAnalysis thinks of Harry Markopolos' accusations in a report against $GE being one recession away from bankruptcy. (Text, long video, short video)

    I just thought about his accusations -- which seem like a lifetime ago the way things are going -- but it was only seven months ago, and it seems this will be the time to test it.

    Since I have a lot of free time, I'm going to look into this and I eagerly await to track GE, read its 10-ks, etc. Without looking much into it, I feel as though GE has enough cash on hand to weather the storm for now. But in the longer term, I seriously wonder about how pensions will affect their business. I'm going to start reading his report by doing a ctrl+f of "pension" and then read from the beginning. :)

    I don't have any intention of putting any money into the company, but I'm very interested in seeing whether Markopolos is correct, or if not, if it will even come close.

    Does anyone understand why SHOP is still trading at a double digit revenue multiple?

    I mean the business is focused on SMB, very exposed to consumer discretionary spend and (unlike other SaaS companies) the revenues aren't even recurring - why should this business have such a premium multiple to everything else (if anything, this is closest to SQ at 7x EV/ Revenues )?

    Even with the stock down 40% from highs, you would think this has a long way to go down - Visa commentary on consumer spending was horrendous, half the revenues are from small businesses (not Shopify Plus), revenues dependent on $ spent, very transactional - what am I missing? Sounds too easy

    FYI - I am thinking of buying some puts with May expiry, $200 target.
