The Value InvestorOP sTone83: $Wingstop (WING.US)$ is not a value stock. It is not even remotely close to being a value stock. In fact, I would consider shorting it because it is so grossly overvalued. Worst part is, shareholders have negative equity. Meaning, if you buy $Wingstop (WING.US)$, you are literally buying yourself into debt. The company’s balance sheet is terrible. Also, it has a $6b evaluation, but made like $53m last year. $6b / 60m = 100. As it currently stands unless this company has some hyper growth it would essentially take 100 years for it to make enough money to be able to pay for its current market cap with its current profits (or in other words to double your money). Obviously it would not take this long for real because revenue and profits are growing, but a 15-20% revenue growth on a restaurant business does not justify a P/E of 100. At least if I were to pay a premium for a company it should be something like $Apple (AAPL.US)$ or $Amazon (AMZN.US)$ but paying a large premium for a company that makes 1% or less of its market cap in earnings and/or free cash flow is a horrible idea. You may as well put your money into treasury notes, savings accounts, and bonds, at least you can get 5% risk free. I’m not even going to look at $Starbucks (SBUX.US)$, I don’t think there’s a need to.

The Value InvestorOP Mohamad Ghadafi: I am not currently holding the stock on any of my real portfolios. You can check my paperfolio, I don’t keep track of every stock’s performance because it’s too complicated to do so across all my different portfolios and trading apps. Every stock in my paperfolio is something I either have, or want to continue having for the next 5-10 years. There are stocks that I own that are not in my paperfolio, and the percentages don’t match my actual portfolios’ distribution, but overall its a good non weighted metric for gauging my stock picks over a long period of time. Paperfolio
I do not recommend copying what ever I buy or using my advice unless you are committed to value investing. I largely buy into undervalued stocks with negative sentiment, this can lead to negative performance for months, or years at a time. This historically tends to lead to outperformance, but value stocks tend to underperform for sometimes long periods of time before they ultimately outperform and make up for their losses. This requires investing with money you don’t immediately need, and it requires extreme patience and a masochistic mentality where you enjoy seeing markets down 50% in the red. It’s a very boring form of investing - unless the market is bleeding - in which case its really fun. You will 100% lose money if you simply try value investing or try buying “value” stocks without understanding value, or that it is a lifelong commitment that at times may not substantially reward you for years or even a decade.

The Value InvestorOP Doug Saddler: $2 dollar puts* I'm selling it today then MAYBE buying another position depending on the charts

The Value InvestorOP sTone83: I meant it as a joke, everyone claims that there is price manipulation when the stock is not 9999, but what makes them any more credible than when I say there is manipulation when the stock is not 0. If everyone is saying there is manipulation, maybe everyone is manipulating. And if everyone is manipulating and the price ends up where it is today, maybe that's the price it should be since the manipulation on both sides cancels out.
