Opinion: One of Warren Buffet’s most famous lines is that he wants to invest in a business that any idiot can run because eventually, one will. When broken down even further, Quest and LabCorp cumulatively account for about 54% of the estimated $27 billion commercial markets. Similarly sized, Quest and LabCorp are by far the largest independent labs in the U.S. and operate with enormous scale advantages versus their much smaller peers. from Morningstar Oct 16, 2018 https://ratingagency.morningstar.com › PublicDocDi…
How can you not make money in a monopoly business? 3500 shares of $LH and nearly $1million is nothing to sneeze out. Neupert sees the catalyst. No analysts seem to identify it. Wouldn’t it be appropriate if we could all just Twitter bomb him and say Hey, Peter we noticed you bought 3550 shares of LH at $263.66 and this is your first open market purchase in history? Mind telling us what you see? I don’t One problem with that is I don’t think Peter has a Twitter account, at least not one I can access but I’m pretty sure he is on Facebook at Adaptive Biotechnologies. Companies come on the air and tout their stock all the time. It would be nice that when they actually have directors and officers that buy material amounts they could give more play to motives. I’m just left to speculate.
Lab Corp has been a truly disappointing stock even more so since the narrative fantasy of Elizabeth Holmes Theranos being completely and utterly debunked there is no one stick wonder. Apparently, it’s harder to operate a monopoly business than they must have thought at Wells Fargo. And at all places, Wells Fargo should have some idea of the difficulty seeing as how they bank one out of every 5 Americans. Someone does have to go in and turn the lights on, get packages moving from A to B and back to C. $LH was lowered to $320 from $340 at Well Fargo and then day’s letter getting his competitive spirits enflamed, Citi analyst Patrick Donnelly raised the firm’s price target on LabCorp to $350 from $340 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares post the Q4 results. This is a business that is s borderline monopoly and if they can anywhere close to the $350 per share target that’s a 34% return and I’ll be happy with that. No it’s not as good as Elizabeth Holmes magic stick business. If they keep postponing the sentencing date, maybe they will find a special cell roommate for Elizabeth Holmes-like Cathie Woods? Isn’t it kind of fraud to keep getting on TV making outlandish statements about gigantic TAM’s she is completely clueless or for that matter anyone is?
But wait! I’ve got it. The latest headline December 24th is the cliffhanger “Labcorp announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Personal Genome Diagnostics, PGDx. “Labcorp’s leadership and scale in diagnostic testing and drug development, coupled with PGDx’s innovative technology and suite of capabilities, will accelerate access to personalized treatments for cancer patients globally,” said Adam Schechter, chairman and CEO of Labcorp. “PGDx’s comprehensive portfolio of next-generation sequencing products will meaningfully add to our breadth of capabilities, in line with our strategic priority to lead in oncology. PGDx’s technology is well positioned in an important segment with strong growth prospects. We look forward to welcoming PGDx’s talented team and working together to bring world-class diagnostics, technology and treatments within reach for all.” Under the terms of the agreement, Labcorp will pay $450M in cash at closing and up to an additional $125M on achieving future performance milestones. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2022.

Opinion: People forget that Boeing world’s largest aerospace company and leading manufacturer of commercial jetliners, defense, space, and security systems, and service provider of aftermarket support.

Boeing products and tailored services include commercial and military aircraft, satellites, weapons, electronic and defense systems, launch systems, advanced information and communication systems, and performance-based logistics and training. My guess is this large buy-in stock has got an eye open in the battlefield in Ukraine. Should it get back to the $208 price in the next few days we will take a stab at the defense side. Unless I’m more myopic than usual, defense spending is going to see bipartisan support. Bombs, Bombs, Bombs.

Microsoft’s chief visionary moving further away from day-to-day corporate work. For the first time did not offer a strategy outlook at this year’s financial analyst meeting. Instead, prefers to dive into innovative projects, foster collaboration among Microsoft’s many divisions. Microsoft aims to be omnipotent, selling software for PCs, servers, cell phones, television set-top boxes, gaming consoles, the Web. Fifteen product launches slated for the next year and a half, including a new version of Windows, called Vista, and gaming console Xbox 360. At the ripe (tech sector) age of 30, Gates’ company impressively beats rivals in profit margins, market capitalization, and R&D budget, but its sales growth is slowing to a (recently) single-digit percentage pace. Like elder statesman of computing, IBM has been investing heavily in its own stock ($8 billion worth so far). Diversifies methodically, selling 20 million shares every quarter, reinvesting through Cascade Investment. Big stakes in Canadian National Railway, Republic Services, Berkshire Hathaway.
Opinion: Did you know that Bill Gates loves trash? He is one of the largest owners of waste recycling businesses in the world? He can have it too. Have you ever been around one of these facilities? They don’t smell good. But maybe he has an even grimmer dystopian future than soylent green in mind? On my Netflix bing list.

Company: Crocs Inc (CROX)
Crocs, Inc., is a Colorado maker of unique clogs that became extremely popular in the early 2000s with both men and women. The inexpensive shoes rely on a proprietary closed-cell resin material called Croslite to produce a lightweight, slip-resistant, odor-resistant, non-marking sole. The material also softens with body heat, thus molding the shoe to the foot of the wearer and providing a comfortable fit. Originally intended for use on boats and in other outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, and gardening, Crocs has also found a market with working people who spend a lot of time in their feet, such as health care and restaurant workers. Moreover, Crocs, generally considered an ugly shoe, has attracted the attention of celebrities, thereby making them fashionable. The shoe features a removable back strap available in 20 colors. In some circles, essentially younger girls, these straps are traded among wearers to provide a different look. Because of their broad appeal, Crocs are available through numerous distribution channels: traditional footwear retailers, sporting goods and outdoor retailers, department stores, uniform suppliers, specialty food retailers, gift shops, health and beauty stores, and catalogs. The company also sells the shoes on its Web site and in kiosks located in places with heavy foot traffic. In addition to the United States, Crocs are sold in more than 40 countries. Beyond its signature clogs, Crocs has taken steps to extend its brand to include clothing, hats, sunglasses, gardening kneepads, and other products. The company maintains manufacturing facilities in Canada, Italy, Mexico, and China. Crocs is a public company listed on the NASDAQ.
Douglas J. Treff is on the board of Crocs, Inc.

Opinion: We just canceled our two-seat order in Asana. They are besides themselves. I really didn’t see the need for it when I just made Google the executor of my estate. I’m letting them take care of everything including my living will.

Opinion: Shareholders lost a lot of money here and I’m just glad I’m not one of them. I have a hard time understanding how higher natural gas prices in Europe impact LPG propane here. On February 2nd the company reporteded Q1 revenue of $2.67B, a consensus $2.23B. CEO Roger Perreault stated: “This quarter, we navigated the challenging macro-economic environment that provided rising cost inflation and a tight labor market. With this backdrop, UGI reported lower first-quarter 2022 adjusted results, which were impacted by unfavorable weather in the U.S. as the country experienced the warmest December on record. AmeriGas reported lower volumes due to weather, the impact of customer service challenges from the prior year after establishing the new operating business model, and the effect of higher commodity prices on customer usage. We also saw significantly higher and unprecedented volatility in commodity prices in Europe that had a negative impact on average LPG unit and energy marketing margins at UGI International. Our natural gas businesses delivered strong results, despite the warmer weather, due to incremental earnings from Mountaineer and higher margin from renewable energy marketing activities.” None of this makes any sense to me

The Government picked winners and losers when they forced local carry networks and made you give CBS away for ad support. It’s not a level playing ground. Just take this for an example.

Opinion:I’ve seen some inaugural 1st quarters as a public company but Fluence was about as bad as it gets. This was all the more disappointing as in order to achieve a net zero carbon world, batteries are essential and a spinoff from a major utility company like AES and Siemmes renewables would be a good spot to give the world some positive news. Unfortunately you’re just finding doublespeak.
There was a lot of growth, new business orders and ventures and more business losses. For all the progress in the following paragraphs, the company split off at $35 per share and we’re back to $12. This is not the way to grow enthusiasm for a net zero carbon world. Maybe it gets better from here. From a stockholder’s perspective, it’s hard to imagine it worse.

Executive Summary
Commenting on the quarter, Manuel Perez Dubuc, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said “I’m pleased to report that we exceeded expectations for new customer orders of our energy storage products during the first fiscal quarter despite short-term headwinds. We take comfort in our $1.9 billion backlog that continues to grow and provide additional visibility to future cash flow. Operationally, we now have 4.2 GWs of energy storage products deployed or contracted worldwide and have strong visibility to future cash flows through our backlog. More importantly, we continue to see strong growth in our digital business providing us with confirmation of our strategy and execution.
I am most excited about the progress we’ve made in our digital business, first with our Pexapark partnership and more recently with our 1.1 GW Fluence IQ contract with AES. This contract is the largest digital award ever and enables us to meet our 2022 annual recurring revenue target for Fluence IQ, seven months ahead of schedule.
We are still seeing some headwinds associated with supply chain disruptions from COVID-19 as well as project cost overruns from our first Gen 6 product installations and commissioning. We’ve taken swift action to mitigate these challenges that provide us the confidence to reaffirm our fiscal year 2022 guidance. This guidance assumes that ongoing energy storage supply chain disruptions and temporary closures of customer constructions sites will be resolved during 2022.
We also positioned ourselves for continued long-term success through several key initiatives executed in January 2022. First, we signed a term sheet with ReNew Power, India’s leading renewable company, to form a 50:50 joint venture in India. By partnering with ReNew, a well-respected, established, and pure renewables player in India, Fluence has the first mover advantage to quickly capture Indian market share. This independent joint venture will license and sell our products and services to anyone in India, including ReNew. We are pleased this announcement is accompanied by the announcement of the joint venture’s first contract, which will consist of a 150 MWh order.
Second, we expanded our digital ecosystem by adding Pexapark and its four applications to our Fluence IQ platform. This is a significant milestone that corroborates our vision for Fluence IQ and provides us with additional upside through revenue sharing.
And finally, we signed a strategic agreement with QuantumScape, to collaborate and test QuantumScape’s solid-state technology in Fluence’s proprietary products. We are excited to partner with them as we strive to increase our ability to develop higher density and lower cost products, while also increasing total safety features.
Looking forward, we continue to see record levels of demand and we believe our recent strategic actions bolster our ability to capitalize on these opportunities and deliver value to our shareholders as we transform the way we power our world for a more sustainable future.”
Commenting on the company’s financial results, Dennis Fehr, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, said “During the first fiscal quarter, we made progress towards completing several key orders. Like the prior quarter, the recent COVID-19 surge resulted in product-related revenues being delayed, thereby shifting the timing of revenue recognition. However, in spite of the compounding effects of COVID-19, based on our corrective measures, we expect to catch up on these orders in the short-term. As we focus on delivering against our backlog, we are also continuing to experience strong demand for our products and services, providing us solid visibility for future growth.”
Fiscal Year 2022 Total Revenue Guidance and Annual Seasonality
The Company reaffirmed its fiscal year 2022 total revenue guidance of $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion. This guidance assumes that ongoing energy storage product shipping delays and temporary closures of customer constructions sites will be resolved during 2022.
Fluence’s business has historically been subject to seasonality due to the timing of many projects coming online around the northern hemisphere summer peak season. As a result, revenue recognition as a percentage of annual revenue has historically been approximately 15% during Q1, approximately 15% during Q2, approximately 40% during Q3, and approximately 30% during Q4 of the Company’s fiscal year ending September 30.

The company bought several small production facilities and distributors, starting with Montreal-based Cinépix Film Properties Vancouver, British Columbia. Completing its first year of operation, Lionsgate had revenue of $42.2 million with a loss of $397,000. The company share price dropped to a low of $1.40. it limited the corporation’s ability to make acquisitions via stock swaps. Lionsgate instead made its subsequent acquisition of Termite Art Productions, a reality-based television production company, for $2.75 million by issuing three convertible promissory notes. Giustra had the shareholders vote to move the company’s public listing from the Toronto Stock Exchange to the American Stock Exchange, along with a two-for-one stock consolidation to qualify for greater exposure that might boost share value.

Opinion: I’d take a hard look at buying stock in this company but the CEO and his team have to go. They don’t know how to run a business. It doesn’t get any simpler than that.
Follow us on Twitter for real-time insider buying alerts at https://twitter.com/theinsidersfund
Insiders sell the stock for many reasons, but they generally buy for just one – to make money. You’ve always heard the best information is inside information. Everyone who has any experience at all in the stock market pays close attention to what insiders are doing. After all, who knows a business better than the people running it? Officers, directors, and 10% owners are required to inform the public through a Form 4 Filing any transaction, buy, sell, exercise, or any other with 48 hours of doing so. This info is available for free from the SEC’s Web site, Edgar, although we subscribe to SECForm4 as they provide a way to manage and make sense of the vast realms of data. I’ve tried a lot of vendors. SECForm4 is one of the smaller ones but I like supporting Frank. He is not arrogant. He’s helpful and has great prices. He also trades on his own data so I like people that eat what they kill.
We publish a subscription newsletter called The Insiders Report. We offer a free 30-day trial so you have nothing to lose by trying it out. Be sure to carefully read the TERMS OF SERVICE.
Another source for insider buying and selling and much more is FinViz Elite. FinViz stands for financial visualization and they do an amazing job of providing reams of data and the tools to help you get to the bottom of it, the information that helps me make informed decisions and probable outcomes. I’ve been using their site for years and it only gets better over time.
This is as close to “insider information” that an ordinary investor is likely to see- and it’s entirely legal.
BEWARE– Following insiders can be hazardous to your financial health. It’s just one piece of the investor’s due diligence. The Insiders Fund blog informs you of the purchases that count. As a rule, we only look at material amounts of money as anything less could just be window dressing.
The bar is different from selling because the natural state of management is to be sellers. This is because most companies provide significant amounts of management compensation packages as stock and options. Therefore, with selling, we analyze for unusual patterns, such as insiders selling 25 percent or more of their holdings or multiple insiders selling near 52-week lows. Another red flag is large planned sale programs that start without warning. Unfortunately, the public information disclosure requirements about these programs referred to as Rule 10b5-1 is horrendously poor. Also planned sales that just pop up out of nowhere are basically sales and are seeking cover under the Sarbanes Oxley corporate welfare clause. I also generally ignore 10 percent shareholders as they tend to be OPM (other people’s money) and perhaps not the smart money we are trying to read the tea leaves on.
Of course, insiders can also be wrong about their Company’s prospects. Don’t let anyone fool you into believing they never make mistakes. Do your own analysis. They can easily be wrong about, and in many cases, maybe most cases have no more idea what the future may hold than you or me. In short, you can lose money following them. We have and we curse aloud, what were they thinking!
We like Fly on the Wall for keeping up with what events might be happening, analysts comment, and whatever else could be moving the stock. Dow Jones news service is an essential tool but many services pick up their feed like they do Bloomberg. For quick financial analysis, it’s hard to beat Old School Value.
No one tracks and understands insider behavior better than us. We’ve been doing it religiously since 2001 when I quit being an insider myself and devoted myself full time to managing my personal investments. Needless to say, past good fortune is no guarantee of future success. We may own positions, long or short, in any of these names and are under no obligation to disclose that. We welcome your comments on our analysis.
