I wouldn't have bought it if it weren't for this thread. When I thought of Roku I thought of a stick that would be killed by Amazon.
I looked at it closer and it's much much more

By the way, @hedgemind is where I got the SE idea from, I would recommend following their account as they go through all the fund's filings. Always a good idea to see what the successful hedge funds are adding/keeping/decreasing positions on.
Also, I think it's been brought up on here, but KEYS is making new highs.

Sold my puts too early on OSTK, bottom falling out now
I'm usually bearish on this one, but it caught my attention on Cheddar. Someone did this one and I followed it with a small position. When something is this unusual, someone usually knows something. I got in at .35

Up 27% over the past 3 months, any chance it fills back that gap from when they announced the write downs? Wrote the name off as well after that, interesting.

ROKU was born from Netflix where Wood was an employee. Wood essentially bought the IP and employees from Netflix and set up a stand alone company.Talon2DSO said:WestTexAg12 said:Talon2DSO said:Ragoo said:

TSN missed earnings but is up today
Quote:
Bank of America Merrill Lynch pulls a nugget out of Tyson's (TSN +3.2%) guidance update.
"We note that TSN's FY20 segment outlook for its Beef, Pork and Chicken segments does not include potential benefits from African Swine Fever which could provide meaningful upside to estimates," notes the firm.
BAML keeps a Buy rating and price objective of $97 on Tyson (14.6X the 2020 EPS estimate).

It's funny, people want to point and laugh at Disney plus having difficulties handling the traffic.
From an investor standpoint, it's crazy. This could mean the demand exceeded what they were predicting

Disney Streaming Service Debuts With Technical Issues Amid High Demand
Today 10:30 AM ET (Dow Jones)Print
By Erich Schwartzel
Walt Disney Co.'s big streaming debut arrived with technical glitches that the company blamed on unexpectedly high demand.
The company's new flagship service, called Disney+, launched Tuesday and immediately caused technical issues for some users, many of whom took to social media to complain about long wait times and error messages.
"The consumer demand for Disney+ has exceeded our high expectations," a Disney spokeswoman said. "We are pleased by this incredible response and are working to quickly resolve the current user issue. We appreciate your patience."
An attempt to watch the Star Wars spinoff "The Mandalorian" on Tuesday was met with a loading page that lasted for more than 40 minutes and still never resulted in the show starting. Other users said online that their attempts to watch a movie or TV show were met with error messages that said, "There seems to be an issue connecting to the Disney+ service." The error messages appeared with animated Disney characters like Pluto.
DownDetector.com, a web service that monitors technical issues on websites, at one point had more than 8,000 reports of issues on Disney+ on Tuesday morning. The majority of the issues reported had to do with video-streaming capabilities, with a smaller number reporting problems with logging into the service.
Disney has been under intense pressure to get this launch right. The company acquired BamTech, a streaming-technology company, to build the technical infrastructure of the app.
Disney+ has been marketed to users for months, and many of those trying to watch today bought three-year subscriptions to the service at a significant discount. Users signing up today can either pay $6.99 a month or an annual rate of $69.99 after a seven-day trial.
He has to be the richest Ag at this point right? Are there any bma's in O&G that would be above that?

RIP Mr. McFerrin. I got to play a round of golf with him back in 2007 or so.IrishTxAggie said:

Wood and his wife were at dinner, sushi, and he was telling her his next business idea. He didn't have a name yet, so they asked the waiter what "6" was in Japanese, hence ROKU was born.
Now you're ready for Jeopardy.

Never had a chance to meet him, but I heard he was one of the nicest guys in the world and very humble. The type that you would never guess he was as loaded as he was.Ragoo said:RIP Mr. McFerrin. I got to play a round of golf with him back in 2007 or so.IrishTxAggie said:

I doubled down after I signed up and got the ESPN+ and HULU package with it. Been having 30 for 30s going on in the background all morning while I'm "working".hypeiv said:tailgatetimer10 said:

I agree.. do the ones pointing and laughing think people will cancel the service and never give it a second chance because a little lag on day one?

I was watching Fox Business earlier and it was announced he wouldn't be commenting on China or the EU auto tariffs.
He's behaving so far besides throwing the fed under the bus.
