Shopee Brazil looks not good. When you search the Portuguese word for “helmet” on their Brazilian website, top sales is around 400/month. If you search for the similar local word in their Thai/Taiwan/Indonesia/Malaysia/Vietnam websites, that’s easily more than 200/200/1k/800/1k per month. And Brazil has what 200m population. Population for Thai/Taiwan/Indonesia/Malaysia/Vietnam are 70/20/200/30/100 million. In comparison to MELI’s Brazilian site. MELI does not report monthly sales for individual stores. It does report the number of reviews. The top store for helmet has 5,000 reviews while that of Shopee Brazil is only 500. Prices at both sites are all around 75 BRL. Good luck competing with MELI and staying profitable. MELI is profiting. Shopee is incurring huge loss.
Seems the trend (with any stock) is to sell prior to earnings, then scoop 'em up a day later at a steep discount regardless of how awesome earnings are.$Etsy(ETSY)$
would Uber reduce drunk driving and traffic deaths
A study by two economists at the University of California, Berkeley examined the impact that Uber, specifically, has had on alcohol-related traffic deaths and total traffic deaths in the US. They sought to investigate a simple question. By providing people with a safe, convenient, and relatively inexpensive alternative means of transportation, would Uber reduce drunk driving and traffic deaths? According to their findings, the answer is a resounding yes. Uber has reduced alcohol-related traffic fatalities by 6.1 percent, the study finds, which equates to roughly 214 lives in 2019. Similarly, Uber reduced overall traffic deaths by 4 percent, likely by reducing other forms of dangerous driving such as driving while very tired. $Uber(UBER)$
Go to etsy seller forum, many lightweight sellers are complaining they have no or little sales for stuff like badges,patches ,pins.The average sales of etsy seller they said is $223 a month and that gross.many are stay at home so they don’t have much of an overhead.Etsy did well selling masks,but thats over,and the stock price has yet to reflect that,it is not AMZN,Ebay, it does not have AWS, it will drop like a rock when sales decline.Unlike Ebay,when someone wants something practical,like a used laptop,camera,printer or tool, they can find it on ebay, but not on Etsy.$Etsy(ETSY)$
If the Market resumes deteriorating, shares of TAL are likely to sell off drastically as investors flee from a stock that is extremely overvalued. All of my charting techniques---Stochastics, Elastics, Plastics, Gymnastics, Spastics and Bombastics--- are strongly indicating a steep plunge which could take shares quickly down to the $1.60 level. $TAL Education Group(TAL)$
I hope executives Walt Disney, understand the difference between us and them- When I pay $10.00 plus plus, per ticket to see a movie at the theater: I typically stay, so that I can talk about how bad I got ripped off the next day. Watching a movie online vs. watch the stream--- "Shutting off to do other/better things." --At least opening at a theater 1st then streaming, may get me laid. Saw Jungle cruise twice kinda, this weekend two ways- And again not worth 20 million "the Rock" was paid- sorry, I'm long. $Walt Disney(DIS)$
Greed. I can appreciate that Scarlett wanted more, but she's made $20.0 million to date on Black Widow, she earned some form of royalty on Disney+ sales, and let's face it, the movie was never going to make a billion dollars at the box office right now. Lastly, she wasn't very good in it! Florence deserves $20.0 million.$Walt Disney(DIS)$
