what's the tickle?

where do you see it going

Uber will be worth 10x its IPO in 2030.
The big money for UBER is in freight
And how other freight companies will be able to use the platform for the movement of goods and materials as Amazon is being used for sales and retail..

freight is an interesting angle...can Uber compete with established haulers?

Of course...I also think that many established freight companies will use Uber to off load logistics infrastcture costs and to also work around trade unions.

I don’t know about UBER, I bought a couple hundred shares about a year ago and its been down about 30% since. Been tempted to sell on several occasions, but have so far resist pulling the trigger.

You need to have your reason for buying and your target buying and selling price before you buy..

I am not a trader.. am more an investor

You are so right – that is such good advice – I will have a stock that quadruples and watch it fall back into negative territory and end up losing money on it. I keep saying at 25% profit I am going to sell, then I fall in love watching it then losing everything – I should really set a goal. Right now I have 5 securities that are over 35% and I am still holding – stupid? I guess

Actually, I've made $thousands off of puts on BOTH Uber and Lyft all phrikken year. Agreed, long term, the freight business may be good for them but currently, their short term outlook is not good.

The company is mismanaged, they spend too much money, business processes are wack and they have a ways to go before turning the company around. Let's hope you are at least 1/2 right.
