Bumble’s Billions And Tilray’s Finest
I don't remember when it was. A few months ago, maybe.
Sometime before I decided to all but stop tweeting (outside of links to articles), I idly mentioned on Twitter that I "don't know what a Bumble is."
Fast forward several weeks and while I still can't claim to understand exactly what Bumble does, I do know one thing: It was valued at some $14 billion after rising as much as 85% in its debut as a public company Thursday.

Such is the fodder for comparing nowaday to .com days. Bumblebubbles’ assuming that dating will not get back to normal is a bit absurd.

The Redditors need to pick their targets batter. GME was a brilliant pick because of the mega-short interest. But also because I doubt there were many “stranded longs” sitting with underwater positions they were hoping to sell “someday”. (Due to inertia, human nature, reluctance to book a loss etc.) For example, I punted part of a legacy Nokia holding and a friend pitched his Macy’s stock. We thanked the Redditors as we did so.
I would not be surprised to learn that there were many similar stories in TLRY.
ADHD is also a global pandemic in the realm of politics and fledgeling democracies btw.
