DON'T BUY
A tech company that handle biometrics, like examining your eyes, face and fingerprints to verify your identity at the airport. They operate in 38 airports and now handle Covid health passes at offices, cinemas, casinos, restaurants and theme parks. They are first to do this--nobody else comes close to them in this business. Problem is, YOU doesn't reveal enough details in its reports, which he he doesn't like. Too many totals like 7 million cumulative enrollments (all sign-ups, up from last year's 5.25 million), and not enough break downs of services. Their net member retention came in at 80.6%, down 5% YOY, which means nearly 20% churn which is not good. However, business held up fine during Covid because it's a subscription services and jumped during the reopening. The valuation trades at 25x sales--not earnings. They aren't expected turn a profit until 2023 the earliest. Too rich for him. Pass.
BUY

He price targets $15 from the current $9.
RISKY
They offer a membership for private jets. Two-thirds of fligths use their own aircraft, though they plan to be asset-light in coming years. The average member spends $70K a year. UP has a big partnership with Delta, their major shareholder. The pandemic has been great for business. Membership is up 47% and total revenue is up 113% YOY. The stock has been hammered. UP is risky, but has good growth and the stock is cheap. A spec buy.
BUY
It came public at $15 and has rallied 700% in two years. They keep delivering super results. About 18% is powered by their platform and today announced they're growing their network by 25%, targeting 250 cities in more than 100 countries. There's still room to run.

The Apple-Epic ruling last Friday that Apple lost Wall Street was wrong: Epic didn't win. Apple came out ahead. Epic is appealing the ruling; Apple isn't. The judge said Apple is not a monopolist. Own Apple, don't trade it.
