$MA Thread

1/ Let's talk about one of my favorite companies, Mastercard $MA. It reported earnings yesterday and was up 1% today, but it's up approximately a gazillion percent over the past decade, so seems like a good time to review... pic.twitter.com/eUu0VpCjc7

$QUAD Thread

$QUAD - The reason they are "selling" the $200 mm segment is that it lost -$15 mm of EBITDA in H1-19... by moving this loss to discontinued operations, it buys them room on their covenants. That's how bad the situation is, they have to manufacture EBITDA to maintain compliance...

$CVNA Thread

Pull up a chair. $CVNA is an opaque subprime origination machine attached to a management compensation scheme. When investors let the fox guard the hen house, they shouldn't be surprised at the result. It escapes me completely how institutions will put https://t.co/8V1101qybO

$FB Thread

To follow up from our conversation last week, I ended up selling 75% of my Facebook position for around $190 per share.

This was a difficult decision, since $FB was my third-largest position (behind $MELI and $OLED) and one that I’ve held for more than 7 years. https://t.co/znjqndqo9Y

Always fun read by Tren

Whenever you read or hear the phrase "losing money" you should ask yourself: what does this person mean?

1. GAAP earnings?
2. Cash flow?
3. Unit economics?

The phrase is so unspecific that it should not be used unless money in physical form is lost.https://t.co/r13Nabl3vd
