Oh hell no...

Back in the day I paid $10ish to see Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Yes, Kiss, ELO and a bunch others and that was just in high school.

How much is an ELO ticket on their latest tour now?

I sat 1st row to an ELO concert back in the day for a mere pittance.

Oh and my buddy waited overnight in line before massive computers, AI and oh this thing called corporate greed took over.

Imagine if Market.LIVE sold tickets?

hey red, you mean in the matrix or the real world?

There is actually a cult that believes none of this is real.

Everyone is plugged in. More on that in another episode.

I know what you are thinking. Whew, I thought I'd have some explaining to do to my better half. Thank goodness my losses aren't real.

Yeah, that's not fun but hopefully you've followed your stock advisor's wisdom to balance your portfolio in the real world or was it the simulated one?

So a base believes we are living in the Matrix.

For the record, I don't believe 'exactly' that.

Hell no red. You telling us we are in a MATRIX MFer!!!!

More on that in another episode and get your brain bucket ready.

But...who doesn't like the Matrix?

But maybe, just maybe Season 9 will get into more levels and dimensions.

Hell no red. You telling us we are in a MATRIX MFer!!!!

now that is funny!

I always find it amazing people invest or trade in stocks and have no clue about the stock / industry or do little DD.

Whatever. Generational memes in and out like burgers

Granted the majority of volume on microcaps is either next to nothing on most or off the carts and charts on meme favs like VERB.

Most of the market swung out of the tech sector a few years ago. Probably everyone could see it, but a big indications was any and all tech IPOs came to a screeching halt. Really tough stocks hunker down in those times but majority of small potatoes went out of business or got bought for pennies on the dollars.
Now they (tech stocks) are back in swing and hopefully some of you have road the AI train gravy dream weaver train

If you've been following headlines in 'our' space...

"Commerce Startup Flip Raises $144 Million to Challenge TikTok"

"Flip Raises $144M To Challenge Amazon And TikTok"

"What Is Flip Commerce and Should Your Brand Join It?
A potential competitor to TikTok Shop just raised $144 million in Series C funding. Here's what businesses should know. "

Hell no red. You telling us those MFers raised $144 million?

Hold on a sec...

Quote:
Social commerce startup Flip, known for its online marketplace featuring product review videos made by shoppers, has secured a whopping $144 million in fresh funding to strengthen its position in the market and take on the industry giants like Amazon and TikTok. The funding round, led by Streamlined Ventures, has significantly boosted Flip’s valuation to a substantial $1.05 billion . Notably, advertising software firm AppLovin Corp. has also displayed confidence in Flip's potential by making a $50 million investment in the company. This move reflects the growing competition in the social commerce landscape and the increasing interest of investors in innovative players like Flip, underscoring the potential disruption it could bring to the market's established players.


So what is Flip's model?

Quote:
Flip creators make product review videos, from which viewers can directly purchase products. Videos are entirely organic: Both creators and brands are banned from the platform if they produce paid content, founder and CEO Noor Agha told Pymnts in April


Worth noting valuation to amount raised.

Flip raised a total of $238.8 million, so valued at a multiple of 4-5 times what was raised

TikTok's respond was quick and on point to the news...

https://www.tiktok.com/@naomih0312/video/7345...3114754606

If you watch any Tok video, you'll get the joke...

Flip has a few problems

1.) I am 'super personally' familiar with 'review apps' and the inherent problems, downside, negative wammies. You probably are too but I am in spades.

2.) Microsoft bought Flip a ways back. Instant confusion.

Quote:
Flip (formerly Flipgrid) is a free web and mobile app from Microsoft that schools around the world have been using for more than a decade to record, edit and share video assignments. Flip your classroom today, and help every student find their voice!


There is more confusion...

Quote:
Flip is a fintech-based payment platform that hopes to help more people achieve their financial goals. Flip has more than 10 million users, who can transfer funds, buy mobile data packages and make a variety of transactions at low costs with its app.


3.) You want a piece of me? TikTok can out spend, out coupon, out you name it to any competitor. #(see Dog videos)

But wait there is more ...

This is real Matrix creepy shit...

Hell no red. You telling us those MFers have issues?

Do you have a friend worth $130? Inside the shopping app that puts a price tag on all your contacts
Quote:
Want to know how much your friends are worth? Meet Flip, the shopping app that will put a price tag on every single person in your phone’s contact list.

Cajole one of them into signing up for the app, and you get cash — up to $130 per person — to spend on Flip


Cajole? Hell no red. You telling us those MFers that raised $144 million want to Cajole me??
