    Investing in TSX: $WELL OTC:WLYYF

    Posted: 03 May 2021 04:53 PM PDT

    Hey guys, I have been watching this Canadian Telehealth company WELL Health Technologies over the last few months and wanted to get some opinions from the rest of you. I first became aware of them when I saw Mr. Li Ka-Shing (the 29th richest man) invest $105M of a $305M round priced at a 25% premium to market. Since then I have seen 2 short reports come out against the company and I can't seem to figure out why. Having watched them do this raise, and complete the acquisition of CRH Medical and today ExecHealth which will bring their revenue to $300M with $50M in free cash flow with $0 debt and $80M left in the bank. I can't understand why not one but two short reports against them have been released…

    Some reasons I am looking at them:

    • - Founded by a successful Entrepreneur who sold his previous company to PayPal for $304M
    • - Seed investor is the 29th richest man in the world and he has invested in every round since
    • - Completed a $305M raise priced 25% above the market at the time which again was led by the 29th richest man with over $100m of his own money
    • - CRH acquisition means they will have close to or over $300M in revenue and over $50M in free cash flow
    • - $0 debt $80m in cash?
    • - Truly proving themselves to be a leader in what will be a $289B Telehealth market.
    • - Undervalued compared to any of the US names I have found

    What does everyone think of this name?

    WELL Health got the shorts sweating

    Posted: 03 May 2021 04:00 PM PDT

    Saw a post on Friday about the massive short interest in WELL. After their announcement of a new acquisition, today it's not looking too good for the shorts. Seems like WELL is the stronger sibling of CLOV which hasn't held up quite as well. Both companies are supposedly taking a new approach to healthcare but only one seems to be actually working. I may be biased in supporting a Canadian company but am curious to hear some impartial thoughts. Does anyone have a preference between the two?

    - ExecHealth, a provider of primary care and executive health services in the Ottawa region, is WELL's first acquisition of clinical assets in the Province of Ontario.

    - For the 12 months ended February 28, 2021, ExecHealth had unaudited revenues of approximately $3M, of which greater than two-thirds is considered recurring membership revenue with EBITDA(1) Margins exceeding 50%.

    - ExecHealth is expected to be a highly accretive acquisition and has organically grown both its revenues and EBITDA at growth rates of over 20% over the past three years.

    - ExecHealth represents WELL Health Clinic Network's continued expansion into the premium margin corporate and executive health services market.

    $KOPN DD: imo, the REAL AR/VR winner (e.g. vs. $MVIS)

    Posted: 03 May 2021 05:21 AM PDT

    $KOPN DD: imo, the REAL AR/VR winner (e.g. vs. $MVIS)

    Unknown AR/VR

    Everyone knows that companies like Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Facebook are turning to AR/VR. For instance, we have the Microsoft/MVIS "relationship", Apple smart glasses coming, Google glasses having already been out, and Zuck spending much of his $5B R&D on AR/VR. As the sector grows, these mega-companies can either develop their own tech—and many will, in part—or acquire / partner with smaller players. Many will do that too. So the question is: which of these smaller companies do you believe in?

    MVIS Craze

    Many of you have recently been burnt by MVIS. It certainly had an appealing storyline, full of speculation, intrigue, and the promise of a trip to the moon. Maybe things will turn around. But all I know is that I'm putting my money elsewhere. After the events of this past week, and after reading this, I wonder if you'll decide to join me...

    Because Kopin, $KOPN, is fucking underloved here. Why? Well, I think it's mostly because it's simply not as well known. But here's the thing: stocks tend to be unknown until they're not. And, ideally, you want to buy in before that large scale recognition occurs. See below for an illustration of this very point:

    https://preview.redd.it/7qmncpk8eww61.png?width=1456&format=png&auto=webp&s=3c0f849a53aef7e6a42859ad0178ba757f703f51

    So what is Kopin? Taken from another DD:

    "KOPN (Kopin Corporation) is best known for its display devices for mobile electronics. The company was founded by engineers from MIT and currently holds hundreds of patents that are applicable to [Virtual and] Augmented Reality. Some of the most promising patents involve wearable technology and voice recognition-based headsets.

    In the past several years, Kopin has contracted with the U.S. Department of Defense to research wearable head-mounted computers for soldiers. They have supplied defense technology for several defense companies including Rockwell Collins, Raytheon, and BAE. But defense is just a fractional part of Kopin's growth potential."

    Essentially, Kopin competes in the same space as MVIS and VUZI. But they're not exactly playing the same game.

    Tech

    First, KOPN's tech and patents mentioned here are highly promising. I'll talk a bit more about them, but feel free to check out this cool series of webinars yourself. Another thing to do is read the linked article; Kopin recently shipped its first batch of OLED microdisplays. They have their own double-stack architecture which enhances battery life and image fidelity—two components that will be key for things like consumer electronics. I believe they will win in this space.

    They also have a chip for voice activation called Whisper, which they've filed over 20 patents for. They claim that "Whisper maintained an accuracy rate of 93 percent in a 95 dB noise environment, compared to competitive products, which maintained an accuracy rate of just 40 percent or less." Given how people will want to use their smart glasses hands-free, this will be key. And based on the above quote, they will win here too.

    Finally, it's worth mentioning the company's military connections. Many don't realize this, but Kopin is the largest supplier of microdisplays for the U.S. military. Think things like thermal weapon sights, night vision goggles and pilot helmet mounted displays for F-35 fighter jets. This is quite a testimonial in my opinion; the military doesn't play when it comes to technology…

    All of this tech is protected via over 200 wearables-related patents, and 20 patents related to OLED. Their tech advantage is also reflected by their blue-chip customer base, which really speaks for itself:

    https://preview.redd.it/x3eahi0aeww61.png?width=1712&format=png&auto=webp&s=04aca0376fa0226a2db864ef9cd8b30895763dee

    I'd encourage any technical people to delve more into Kopin and their customers to really understand the power of their patents and product offering. Maybe leave a comment below!

    Financials

    For every bet, including "informed bets" like the stock market, there are two key components: the cost of the ticket and the payout potential. What I like about $KOPN is that you are paying hugely "less" to bet on the future of AR/VR (at least relative to competitors). Essentially, $KOPN is in a highly appealing financial position, with the potential for "hype"—which hasn't really moved the stock as drastically—serving as a nice call option on the stock. First, check out the Kopin quarterly income statement:

    https://preview.redd.it/lgodi0yaeww61.png?width=1146&format=png&auto=webp&s=478c34aa29ca6398ffce3570102f6e606108c81f

    A few trends stick out. First, the company is steadily growing revenues, while maintaining a reasonable GPM. They are also increasing R&D spend, which is important for a company in a burgeoning and highly technological sector. But really, the most exciting trend is that of Operating Income margin, which has gone from negative to positive, along with EPS!

    The company also posted $34.9 million in LTM revenue as of the last quarter. Compare this to MVIS, with $3 million over the same time frame. Now, it's quite clear that this company presents at least an equally attractive financial situation as MVIS, by any standard definition.

    Further, if this trajectory continues and other things hold, the company would continue to post positive EPS—which is something that competitors like VUZI or MVIS simply cannot claim. After the last earnings report, where Kopin flipped EPS positive, the stock reacted extremely well, shooting up over 20%. What will happen if they improve even further?

    The company is also not likely, in my opinion, to undertake any significant dilutive actions, or to go bankrupt. This is because they have an attractive balance sheet with no debt. So let's put it like this: you are getting positive EPS, with a good balance sheet, at an $875 million market cap. Compare this to MVIS at a $3.3 billion market cap, with negative EPS, or VUZI at a $1.5 billion market cap—and also with negative EPS! In my view, you "pay" much less to bet on AR/VR with KOPN.

    So what do you get if you're "paying less?"

    Catalysts

    First, you get access to a market growing at a rather nice CAGR. Since Kopin will be a major player in this market, you can simply check this estimation from the KOPN corporate presentation. Assuming KOPIN gets a mere 1% of this spend, they will be shockingly undervalued here.

    https://preview.redd.it/dey6u3kieww61.png?width=1346&format=png&auto=webp&s=add762fbaf92cf4bb5cd9cf01fffa23f2ee1f43d

    But perhaps more excitingly, you get access to a near-term series of catalysts which could see the share price appreciate significantly. Here's a potential timeline, which doesn't include the potential for surprise events:

    • May 4th Earnings Call
    • May 12 Webinar II - Present AR / VR
    • May 26 Webinar III - Future AR / VR
    • June 6-7 Stifel Tech Conference
    • June 7-9 Apple WorldWide Developers Conference

    This presents numerous "shots on goal" for $KOPN.

    Of course, ultimately the company's fate depends on performance, because the ticker has traded largely without hype, at least when compared to MVIS or VUZI. Consider the following comparison of the three companies to get an idea how little followed and undervalued KOPN is. First, the MVIS financial "highlights":

    https://preview.redd.it/ll5yanrceww61.png?width=2210&format=png&auto=webp&s=1332365538f72d4032f63ad5cc06112d577b89aa

    Now, VUZI:

    https://preview.redd.it/o7qop3hdeww61.png?width=1838&format=png&auto=webp&s=ce7c45622355639fe57d46c131c39c4b45539b12

    A bit better than MVIS, but still…

    And, finally, KOPN:

    https://preview.redd.it/6c9f78ceeww61.png?width=1978&format=png&auto=webp&s=00bea97b3e6438e79fcfecfc4529168df40f4bc3

    Now, I'm sure I'll have a million of you reeeing out, telling me how I just don't understand the tech, and tHat MVIS wIlL gO tO tHe mOOn. That's fine. I'm not here to convince anyone. All I'm doing is suggesting that you, rubbing together your two brain cells, look through the above and play spot the trend. Then ask yourself: as this market grows, which of these companies do you believe in?

    Personally, I believe in the recently newly profitable technology leader partnered with Lockheed Martin, FLIR, and Google.

    TL;DR:

    Long $KOPN.

    Disclaimer: Long KOPN. May change position at any time without disclosure. Not financial advice, purely informational. Do your own DD. All investments have risk.

    Here is a Market Recap for today Monday, May 3, 2021

    Posted: 03 May 2021 01:53 PM PDT

    PsychoMarket Recap - Monday, May 3, 2021

    Stocks traded mixed, with the S&P 500 (SPY) and Dow Jones (DIA) ticking higher while the tech-Nasdaq (QQQ) declined. The SPY rose 5% in April, for the best performance since November of last year. Following a rotation into cyclical and reopening stocks at the beginning of the year, April saw the communication services and consumer discretionary sectors lead gains in the SPY, returning to the leadership position. Growth stocks continued underperforming, paring recent gains after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said some sectors of the market appeared "frothy". Looking ahead, market participants continue to monitor corporate earnings and wait for more economic data, particularly the April jobs report that will be released May 7th.

    A wave of stronger-than-expected earnings, especially in banks and mega-caps like Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), and Microsoft (MSFT), have fueled the latest rally in the market. In the US, effective distribution of the vaccine and the gradual reopening of the economy have led to a surge in consumer spending, driving corporate profits way past analyst estimates. As of Friday, 86% of S&P 500 companies had beaten first-quarter earnings expectations, according to FactSet data. This would mark the highest proportion since at least 2008, if the current rate holds through the end of first-quarter earnings season.

    The Labor Department will release its April jobs report on Friday, which is expected to show a staggering nearly 1 million payrolls came back last month, accelerating March's gain. As a reminder, in March, the Department of Labor reported nonfarm payrolls increased by 916,000 for the month while the unemployment rate fell to 6% (unemployment rate was 14.6% in April 2020). Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for an increase of 675,000 and an unemployment rate of 6%.

    Last week, President Biden addressed a joint session of Congress, during which he said "America was back on the move again" following the coronavirus pandemic.. In his address, President Biden touted his $2 trillion infrastructure plan and unveiled a new $1.8 trillion proposal aimed at supporting children, students, and families. This proposal, called the American Families Plan, would be funded in part with the newly proposed tax increases on the wealthy. Read the details of the proposal here.

    Highlights

    • As of Sunday, more than 104 million Americans were fully vaccinated, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly ⅓ of the entire population.
    • Legendary investor Warren Buffet spoke at Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting. There were a lot of takeaways, we encourage everyone to check it out.
    • Shares of Uber, Lyft and Doordash (DASH) fell sharply after Reuters reported that Labor Secretary Marty Walsh supported reclassifying gig workers as employees. This change would give workers additional benefits at a large cost to companies. Recall the battle last year over Proposition 22 in California, which eventually passed in favor of companies in the gig-economy.
    • New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said that NYC would open with full capacity beginning July 1. "Our plan is to fully reopen on July 1. We are ready for stores to open, for businesses to open, offices, theaters, full strength," de Blasio said.
    • Twitter (TWTR)said on Monday it will introduce a new feature to let users charge admission to their live audio chat rooms in its "Spaces" feature, as the social media company seeks to court more content creators. Starting on Monday, any user with at least 600 followers can be a host, the company added.
    • Cathie Wood's Ark Investment Management bought about 1.3 million shares of Twitter Inc worth $71 million last week after the stock fell on disappointing earnings results compared to peers.
    • Penn National Gaming (PENN) announced it is launching Penn Game Studios, which will create exclusive iCasino content for its customers with an in-house development team.

    Investment Advice

    Posted: 03 May 2021 06:26 PM PDT

    Hey everyone, I am in a middle of a contemplation period right now in deciding what could be my best decision for my portfolio. So it would be great if you guys can give me some advice for the upcoming periods.

    My plan is to close out all of my positions regardless of long or short by middle of August (personal reasons) and I have been in a deep loss around 30~40% loss due to the small cap sell off for hyper-growth stocks (bngo, gevo, nio, chpt, etc.).

    So, I was planning to close out all of them by this week and move onto new ventures (swing trades, momentum trades, etc.) to recoup my losses, do you guys think that it would be a good thing to do? What course of action will you do to minimize the losses before I close out my account in August?

    Thank you in advance!

    CLEU EDUCATIONAL SERVICES RESEARCH (FUNDAMENTALS AND TECHINICALS)

    Posted: 03 May 2021 02:16 PM PDT

    CLEU EDUCATIONAL SERVICES RESEARCH (FUNDAMENTALS AND TECHINICALS)

    Hi guys, look at this stock

    CLEU ( China Liberal Education Holdings Limited) is a company who provides educational online services on China.

    Strictly " China Liberal Education Holdings Limited provides educational services and products under the China Liberal brand name in China. The company offers Sino-foreign jointly managed and delivered academic programs, including undergraduate and postgraduate education, as well as diploma and non-degree higher education, and senior secondary education programs in the areas of languages, liberal arts, and businesses. It also provides overseas study consulting and technological consulting services for Chinese universities to enhance their campus information and data management system, as well as to optimize their teaching, operating, and management environment. The company's consulting services include campus intranet solution buildout, school management software customization, smart devices, installation and testing, and school management data collection and analysis. In addition, it develops and provides textbooks and other course materials to students enrolled under the Sino-foreign Jointly Managed Academic Programs, as well as offers job readiness training to graduating students. China Liberal Education Holdings Limited was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Beijing, China"

    The first thing that got my attention is the EXTREMELY low float of this company. There are just 5,37M outstanding shares from which 2,71M are floating. Market Cap is 5,37x3,8 = USD 20M and short interest is around 10%. (exactly 9,95%)

    The first that came to my mind when I saw it was "Meehh, this kind of features/patterns are tipical from a cash burning company (a company that lost money every quarter and allways need debt or that dilutes its shareholders every now and then in order to survive)"... But surprisingly it's not...

    The company not only has an excellent revenue (taking into account the size of the company), also has positive EBITDA, Operating Income and POSITIVE NET INCOME!!!

    Below you'll find some highlights of the earning call which had place last friday

    Gross profit +51,2% 2019 -> 2020

    Gross margin +21% 2019 -> (actually has a 57% GROSS MARGIN!)

    Net income +176%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    EPS is 0,21... So, PER is 3,8/0,21 = x18... (EPS is +133% YoY)

    Do you know wich is the median PER of the SP500? 44,54 (you can see at macrotrends.net or Wall Street Journal Market Data)

    In fact, it is ridiculous, specially if you consider that CLEU is a growth company, not a value company (growth company often has higher PER)

    And it's being more ridiculous if I told you that company has 5M on cash... At this point you are thinking "Where is the trick? Maybe has a lot of debt"... But not, it only has 1,67M on debt.

    Taking into account all what I told you: Enterprise Value = Market Cap + Debt - Cash = 16,67M

    EV/REV = 3,17 that in fact is extremely low for a growth company and for the market average

    I'm not going to elaborate a text about the future of this bussines sector. We already know that online education is the future, specially in China. (Off course traditional lessons will never disappear, but think in the private lessons). You can think about the future of this alone. It's not usual find this kind of growth companys who already earn money (think about the spacs, how many of the new companies has EBITDA>0 or even more, NET INCOME >0?)

    And what about technical analysis? Let me share the chart with you

    ​

    As you can see, allways bounced on 3,65 (it did it today too)

    For me, this a steal and I bought a bounch of shares, and looking to add more on dips

    Baby investor here, thoughts on ADVM?

    Posted: 03 May 2021 04:43 PM PDT

    Just last week I invested $250 into ADVM after its collapse, but its been on a downward spiral ever since. Apparently something went awry with their latest trial and an individual lost sight in one eye— so its really hurt the stock. I assume I'm bound to make a profit at some point based on their history and upcoming plans dating as late as 2024; but when do you think the rise will happen? Is this a good stock to stick with in the long term? (This is my first investment, trying to learn :) )

    Also thinking of investing a ton of money into bitcoin via coinbase once I set up my direct deposit, but thats more of an aside. Any tips there, and do I have to worry about security or seeking an outside wallet? :)

    Thanks everyone!

    Thoughts about Cowen inc (COWN) stock

    Posted: 03 May 2021 01:49 PM PDT

    So last week found this stock by accident and started to look at its numbers and it I can't wrap my head around it why it has such low multiples. Copied from their company biography: " Cowen Inc., together with its subsidiaries, provides investment banking, research, sales and trading, prime brokerage, global clearing, securities financing, commission management, and investment management services in the United States and internationally.". (data got form simply wall st and seeking alpha) For example, Cowen's p/e is 3, it's return on equity is 37% and it has insiders owning little over 4% of the stock. Cowen also has cash & short term investments of 4.8B, Debt of 3B so with a market cap of 1.1B for every stock, you get 60$ of debt free cash. It has just started to pay dividend last year but they have raise it from 0,04$/q to 0,1$/q. I know it still isn't a significant amount of dividends, but I think they will raise it quite a bid during next couple of years. They have also increased their buyback program from 20M to 50M and they stated in their earnings transcript that they might return money to shareholders even more in upcoming year/years.

    So does anyone else have ideas about why this stock seems such a bargain, but it's obvious that I have missed some big value trap or something. I own little over 5K in it. Any thoughts about the stock?

    I analyze mentions and sentiment of stocks across Reddit and Twitter. Last month's most discussed stocks and retail trader's obsession with volatile stocks!

    This post is in continuation of a series of posts I made in the previous weeks. The response I received was amazing and a lot of you were asking for continued updates. So here goes!

    https://preview.redd.it/v5m5t4zzuww61.png?width=624&format=png&auto=webp&s=8253293316a29c3b81d5b8e32c246f8007412ff5

    Even though Microvision overtook GME in mentions during the last week of April, overall GME was much more talked about in April. Newcomers to the list were Coinbase due to their IPO and Clover health due to its massive short interest.

    The above graphs show how retail traders love to discuss only high-volatility stocks. The average Beta value across the top 10 most discussed stocks last month was 3.14!

    In case you are not well versed with Beta, the following is its explanation from Investopedia.

    Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility in relation to the overall market. By definition, the market, such as the S&P 500 Index, has a beta of 1.0, and individual stocks are ranked according to how much they deviate from the market.

    This was one of the most requested information in my posts. Above are the returns you would have got if you invested in the trending stocks last month. 5/9 stocks (ignoring SPY) gave a positive return last month but only 2 of them beat SPY. This is important considering the amount of risk (beta shown above) you are taking with the individual stock. The returns are benchmarked using March 31st closing price and April 30th closing price.
