So, the last 6 months or so we've seen numerous names that had absolutely radioactive sentiment yet they've rebounded sharply on some pretty small or questionable catalysts.

NFLX - customer and price saturation in full effect, main "idea" is to call customers password thieves, launches desperate and poorly conceived ad tied but has to refund advertisers... up 120%.

NVIDIA - incredibly high multiple, caught as the poster person of high tech and semiconductor glut, reveals a large portion of earnings are from crypppto (they call "gaming") where demand has vanished, up 100+%.

Bi+coin - left for dead as scandal after scandal and no more greater fools exist, n.ft myth and basic premise becomes a household joke - but crypot related names already up 50-100% this month.

META - another poisonous company and product, became a global joke, clueless leader betting the company on legless animated puppets like an unfun version of second life. Up 60% on.... nothing?

TSLA - sociopathic owner, stale products that look like GM Saturns, slumping sales, aimless and corrupt leadership, finally facing real competition, having to absolutely slash prices to get rid of inventory, leader is off running a message board for authoritarians and their cultists, up 75% this month.

Any of these would have seemed like a terrible buy at their bottoms.


So, what's the current worst and irredeemable large junk pile that will have its 50-150% trash-to-cash rally? Some suggestions...

PYPL - nothing new, CEO still hasn't explained his hyperbolic optimism right before a straight 70% drop in value.

AMZN - gone from customer favorite to universally hated. Every announcement is more negativity, constantly degrading the value prop of Prime, getting rid of shipping incentive, doubling down on third party seller junk, untrustworthy reviews, delivery problems, no action on used and counterfeit merchandise, no leadership.

FSLY/NET - grew on the back of pandemic and social trends like WFH, Tiktok, remote schooling. World is opening up and content distribution more commoditized with slowing growth.

SOFI/RKT - alternative financials, Fintechs. The assumption is that mortgages and loans will be a stock market Death Valley for years to come thanks to fed inflation fighting panic moves. Their clients tend to be more vulnerable, younger, lower assets, lower credit, etc.

any of the EV juniors, suppliers, battery companies - things like Canoo, Rivian, Micro-Vast, Frey, QS. All were once valued on the premise of "what if they can just take 2% market share?" Now that feels like a pipe dream.

Which of these will have their 75% one-month bounce? Or what name do you think will?

>I agree that all of those companies are trash and will continue to go down in value. The only exception might be Tesla, which could rebound if they manage to increase production and deliver on their promises. However, I think the rest of those companies are doomed to fail.

Eh, the only issue with calling SOFI junk is Galileo. That is an innovative technology that allows fintech apps to access banking. It’s a best in class product. Plus all banks will suffer with the shift in mortgages from what they were to where they were going. SoFi only offers loans to “blue chip” borrowers with high credit scores, other banks are holding shit class B/C/D loans and they don’t have brick and mortar liabilities… I think they’re actually going to out perform. You’re off the pulse there. (This isn’t a pump, I do hold equity in SOFI)

I don’t like your analysis on AMZN either. Everyone still uses them, they have a competitive streaming service, AWS is their largest source of revenue and they’ve been crushing M&A with acquisitions such as Whole Foods… They ran a little hard and are over valued but they’re not a garbage pile stock.

TSLA is going to collapse from this recent run. Especially when they don’t deliver 2M new vehicles like Elons tongue and cheek comment. And talk about now hated, Musk? He is your Amazon description.

Just an alternative view.

Interesting topic. I guess I was thinking of things were the entire public and investing community have agreed something is radioactive, or "uninvestable". Things like DNA wouldn't have that broad retail sentiment, it would be more confined to followers of that niche.

Also interesting that I seemed to recall citron said he wasn't going to be public with his negatives after he was being attacked by followers of a certain video game retail stock.

> I think they are going to outperform

Can you clarify, who will outperform? SOFI? Or money center banks?

You say SOFI is blue chip clients but my impression is its young people, young graduates. Hence why they've been slammed every time there's a student loan related headline.

One theory is if the GOP succeeds in killing off the remaining parts of student loan forgiveness (most people don't realize there's already been a lot of beneficial student loan relief) that could be good for SOFI, who will basically be the go-to institution of choice for that braid demographic.

Several of these names (top half) when they bottomed I wonder if it was worth dumpster diving, but they just seemed too unloved.

All the things on the bottom have that same feeling: nothing good there, and only bad news on the horizon. Remember late Dec as Musk was self-immolating, inventories climbing, story after story of low quality and overpricing. Analysts were sure TSLA would "break the buck" (fall below $100)

Just reading your comments on Tesla, you seem to fancy yourself as some dark humorist with business savvy and knowledge of all things.... Psssst... You're 0-3

I'd say test your theory with the names you came up with and if you're right (don't talk yourself into it, make sure its sound) then give it a try with real money.

Always test strategies (then you can back up your hypothesis with some results and more people will listen)

I basically did with the top half ones. All of them I strongly considered buying at their recent lows, but the sentiment and fundamentals were mostly off-putting. I did go big into NFLX $165-185 And scaled out $235-285. For crpoto I do derivative names like miners/data centers so my commitment there was just to hold, and some say any day you don't sell is like the same as buying. They've rallied strongly this month so I've been scaling out.

But the post is inspired by how all of these backtested well.

I agree with RKT. It’s nothing but a call center with people pushing paperwork from person to person. Even realtors don’t like there clients working with them.

There is too much loose money around looking for things to pump. I've been loading up on penny stocks myself.

Probably true, plus there's apparently a strong trend where a huge portion of home buying is now being done by institutional real estate conglomerates. Rocket is where young and first time and less affluent go, so their market is shrinking. And the RE conglomerates would have no need as they get their own financing.

On the other hand, supposedly big banks including WFC are ceding the mortgage origination territory to outfits like Rocket, so whatever business there is coming available, they'd have a shot at. And it seems to me that other than advertising, rocket is set up to only make money on every deal. In other words, they only pay out the big commisions and costs when a deal closes and by definition they'd only close deals that work. Costs would be self correcting then. Ie: it's the unicorn business model that should have guaranteed break-even or better operations at any scale. (Again, leaving out advertising of course)

So even though logic says it's untouchable, so was TSLA a month ago, and META before that, and NVDA before that.

SoFi out performs. Banks perform well during high interest rate periods. Their risk is default but SOFI has discussed their selection process for lending and they want 750 credit scores and currently employed individuals to lend to.

And yes the GOP will try to kill off anything that benefits individuals and not corporations.
