The stock pulled back 25% AH, and I will buy 3 shares at market open. If the price continues to drop, I may add a couple more shares. Marlin Sandlin owns shares of The Trade Desk, Inc. (TTD).

CELH is undervalued, IMO. The biggest problem facing the company is an inventory problem that I believe will be a short—to medium-term problem. The stock may not do so well in the meantime, but I see this as an opportunity to add at a reduced valuation. $34 per share x 6 = $192 For those who want additional information about Celcius, you can see the summary by ChatGPT below. Celsius Holdings, Inc. is a company known for producing fitness drinks and energy beverages. Founded in 2004, Celsius markets its products as functional drinks that boost energy and metabolism, often targeting fitness enthusiasts and health-conscious consumers. Key Points: Product Line : Celsius offers a range of beverages, including sparkling and non-sparkling options. Their drinks often contain ingredients like caffeine from natural sources (like green tea and guarana), vitamins, and other performance-boosting components. Health Focus : The brand emphasizes health and wellness, positioning its products as free fr...

I sold CELH due to a double top formation and the thought that parabolic runs eventually correct. Now, the stock is down over 60%, and the valuation is much more reasonable. The reason for the CELH drop is, in my estimation, due to two factors.     1. Inventory problems at PEP. PEP had too much CELH on the shelves, so they are ordering fewer      CELH products. PEP buys CELH products directly from CELH, so when CELH products are  overstocked, PEP buys less from CELH, which means less revenue for CELH.     2. Overall slowdown in the energy drink sector. Combine these two, and you can see why the stock sold off. Sentiment toward CELH as an investment could remain negative for a while (until the inventory situation improves, one would hope). I am adding 15 shares of CELH at $33.07 for a total of $495.15. Marlin Sandlin owns shares of Celcius Holdings Inc. (CELH).

The big drop got my attention. The stock is up quite a bit, and selling preserves much of the profits. Another reason I chose to sell for now is the technical setup (double top) A lot of people would criticize my decision to sell. I could be wrong to sell now. But one can always buy back into a company (although timing when to buy back into a stock can be difficult). The price I sold was $81.88. The split-adjusted price of the first shares purchased is about $31.60. I need to calculate returns including all shares, but I believe it will be about a 100% return.

I am starting positions in DUOL and KNSL. Here is some information about the companies from ChatGPT. Duolingo -Duolingo is a language learning platform that offers free courses in multiple languages through a mobile app and website. The company utilizes a gamified approach to education, incorporating elements like points, levels, and rewards to make learning engaging and effective. Users can practice reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills, with lessons tailored to their proficiency levels. Duolingo also provides additional features such as a premium subscription for an ad-free experience and access to offline courses. It is the gamification that is at the top of my reasons for buying, in addition to their expanding into new topics like mathematics. The company is growing revenue at an impressive clip -- 44% YoY and 36% forward (an estimate they may beat, having beat estimates in 7 of the last 8 quarters). Duol offers a free service and I suggest anyone considering an investme...
