Sure Chili, although I'm weary of stock splits. Last time Amazon stock split they collapsed like 33% in value. I'm surprised Netflix didn't announce it in their quarterly meeting.
Our family has a tradition to watch or participate along with the HEB Thanksgiving Day Parade going back to 2009. It's always a great time and I'm excited to see it happen again. Parade is Thursday, November 27th, 2025, at 9:00 am Turkey Day!

When I was pulled into the internet everyone was journaling on Xanga and giving each other kudos. Social media sites were in their infancy but breaking out across the internet.
High school was over 15 years ago and Myspace was highly relevant at the time. Little did I know that a new contender was vying for our attention. Facebook was gaining traction and people had started abandoning Tom.
Meta Platforms, Inc. engages in the development of products that enable people to connect and share with friends and family through mobile devices, personal computers, virtual reality and mixed reality headsets, augmented reality, and wearables worldwide.
Facebook went public in May of 2012 and since then has become a member of the S&P500 index. Initially FB, the stock ticker has been changed to META in October 2021. The stock sits at $666 @TOP which is funny because today is Halloween. The price to earnings ratio is 29.50 and 22.59 EPS. Beta is 1.2 showing some maturity with Meta in regards to its volititly compared to other tech stocks today. YTD earnings are a mellow 13.83% but across the past 5 years Meta is up 153%. Current price targets sit between $616 to $1,117 @TOP with an average of 848 for next year and is expected to outperform the stockmarket.
During 2025 there appears to be a large number of insider trades selling the stock. This could be an indicator of something to come or just the general volitility of tech stocks.
The stock is down $100 dollars today after the Q3 reporting didn't shine. I would argue that the entry point is coming in the next month given the previous drop of the stock a few months back. I'll bet the dip will hit the $500s in two weeks.
While a super senior in tech, the stock could be considered available at discount at this time and is not immune to the volatility of the tech sector. The promise of outperforming next year is possible and should provide at least a 15% gain for shareholders if the year is not as drama ridden as this year in politics.
I don't see the boomers getting off Facebook anytime soon and the platform has a generation of middle-age adults with an account. Marks been fighting to create the metaverse and expanding into any new territory that comes about (sorry Snapchat) this ruthless business leadership sets META up to be relevant within the coming decade at least until Mark decides to retire.
Go all in boys!
Looks like the battle continues...
too good to not share
Here's your write up
The most recent Reddit craze over BYND has pushed me to evaluate the next up-and-coming meme stock (supposedly) ASST. I've never heard of it so let's take a look.
Things feel a little hollow here given the company itself has only been around since 2022 so I don't anticipate much data to be available in regard to success or failure.
The company itself doesn't stand out very much. According to Yahoo...
Strive Asset Management, LLC is a privately owned investment manager. It primarily provides its services to investment companies. The firm is a large advisory firm, an investment adviser to an investment company which provides portfolio management for investment companies.
EPS is in the negative actually at -0.040 @TOP, and the stock has dropped from $15 dollars down to $1 dollar. This isn't to say the stock is at it's worst, given the past YOY performance has pumped from $0.50 to $8.11 $12.80 approx..., today it trades as low as a single dollar. The stock has lost 96.25% of it's value since IPO and price targets are MIA, but according to the interwebs and overnight gains, the stock is up 50%. For more information, check out Yahoo Finance.
The insider selling shows a lot of yellow and red all year, so not much hope for here for long term gains as far as I can tell, but with the power of the internet, this stock appears prime for pump and dump. 
Currently tracking at $2.11. Let the news cycle do it's thang, and you'll see the spike.
Beyond Meat made a big splash in 2012 when it introduced plant-based "meat" products to stores in the USA. Their competitor Impossible Foods even made a deal with Burger King to introduce the Impossible Whopper so the meat alternative section has been slowly permeating into the American psyche for at least 10 years now.
Historically, since IPO the stock hasn't done so well. Having launched at $105 and now recently existing as low as $1.47. The EPS is @TOP is -2.1400 with a 1 year estimate of $2.33. One could argue that the stock itself is not very enticing... that is, until Reddit joined the picture.
Most recently, the subreddit /r/10xPennyStocks/ noticed a couple of executive leadership positions accessing millions in shares, the CEO acquiring 4 million on his own. While a drop in the bucket of their issued 76.75 million outstanding shares, it's a big statement in the retail community. The hashtag #bullsarevegan is starting to generate some attention and I would believe that given its success on Monday, the stock has the week to run wild. The amount of short shares available is dwindling having gone from 8.1 mil to 2.5 mil (edit: as of 7:20 that number has surged back up to 10 mil) Similar to GME and AMC, the retail investors have been searching for a way to trigger the bullrun of GME from a few years back, and I don't blame them. To quote Randy Marsh "We have them by the balls Sharon, you wouldn't understand."
By scale, the community has 111,000 members, where mainly only 10% are actively posting. There are always lurkers. Say the community buys 10 shares a piece, that's 1,110,000 shares. Say the community buys 100 shares a piece, that's 11,100,000 which is almost 14% of total outstanding shares. Shit, some people are throwing a couple grand at the stock just to see what happens (allegedly).
This will be exciting to watch this week. Given the recent pattern of meme stocks, I don't believe the attitude towards this type of investing will go away anytime soon. Although remember this type of investing isn't for the faint of heart, within internet lore we call this type of investing with grit and determination... diamond hands.
Are you ready for the pump?
There's been a consensus that the premium on these is pretty high.
I like my websites fast with a hint of geolocal databases. My first computer was a bulky HP laptop running an AMD Semperon processor and if memory serves 512MBs of RAM. It ran Windows XP like dog shit.
It might just be me, but my belief is that technology needs to be fast and responsive to be adopted by the masses. That laptop was a crime against nature however modern websites don't need to run slow. They can run pretty fast if you have local versions of a website readily available in your area... enter Cloudflare.
Cloudflare came across my radar on several occasions when surfing the internet (haaaa surfing).
The company itself offers a lot. According to Yahoo...
Cloudflare, Inc. operates as a cloud services provider that delivers a range of services to businesses worldwide. The company provides an integrated cloud-based security solution to secure a range of combination of platforms, including public cloud, private cloud, on-premises, software-as-a-service applications, and Internet of things (IoT) devices; and website and application security products comprising web application firewall, bot management, distributed denial of service protection, API security, SSL/TLS encryption, script management, security center, and rate limiting products
EPS is in the negative actually at -0.35 @TOP but the stock has grown 107% YTD. This isn't surprising given the beta is a 1.99. Price targets range from 90 to 255 so again, this may just be something the internet is going crazy about (AI) so analysts are uncertain. For more information, check out Yahoo Finance.
The insider selling shows a lot of yellow and red all year, so this could be a sign of people cashing out before the impending crash. This is AI, after all.
I'm going to hold off on buying this stock till I can get a small dip to crash. Internet infrastructure is important, and while this is digital, there will be a physical world consequences and impact on the locations that house these servers. Maybe we should all buy high CPU efficiency low power raspberry pies and create a new internet, like some company recently did... then we could all create a sustainable world of AI together.
Cloudflare has been bullish all year, but has any noticed the recent plateau within the stock chart. They might be due for a correction. EPS Targets are pretty high for Q3 compared to Q2 and I don't believe NET will hit them.
52 today...
Consistency is not sexy. Consistency is the most boring advantage you could have. Everyone wants to be great, but nobody wants to do the same thing every single day for 5 years straight.
If you cancel netflix how are you going to catch stranger things 5?
Not sure how I was caught sleeping on this but 885.32% in 5 years... that's insane!
RGTI $34 & climbing
