    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.

    Financials

    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...

    Quote

    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. 8)

    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?

    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.

    Local Overview

    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.

    Financials

    Cloudflare came across my radar on several occasions when surfing the internet (haaaa surfing).

    The company itself offers a lot. According to Yahoo...

    Quote

    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.

    Conclusion

    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.

    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.

    Something to make note of for the next major phase of the trade war... semiconductors are the new weapon of choice for governments. USD dropped to $25.13 low in 2025 so far only to return with a vengeance at $94.10. That would have been almost a 4x return if I had optics on this stock at the time.
