I’m out of the office today with my daughter who needs some testing on her eyes done. No big deal, hopefully — but I’ll be out most of the day.
Early going I see just one of my stocks is sharply higher — SAGE — based on insider buying reports. Software stocks are getting the business, sharply lower, just because.
It’s important to note this sector has been leadership for half a decade and is struggling to regain its footing. I suspect if the market tops out, you will first see it in SAAS.
Other than that, nothing going on.
More later.

SaaS was a bubble. Every institution and Robinhooder was piling into those stocks. They don’t deserve to trade above historic software multiples of 10x EV/S ratios. In fact, their seemingly high “gross margins” and potential for uber profitability are a chimera. The minute their growth starts to slow, they go out and hire even more Sales schleps, invest more in R&D to expand their product lines, make acquisitions, and sometimes restructure/lower prices–they don’t deserve to trade above the historic software multiples of 10x EV/S ratios.
Schoolboys in Disgrace by The Kinks is a fucking masterpiece.
Some of those UK bands did great stuff indeed. Have you heard Odessey and Oracle by the Zombies? This Will Be Our Year is a fine tune that stands the test of time.
Indeed.
