Today, the Consumer Confidence Index report for the month was released and it was interesting. Due to the current climate. Not shocked. The Consumer Confidence Index is simply a survey, administered by The Conference Board, that measures how optimistic or pessimistic consumers are regarding their expected financial situation. Sentiments or feelings moreso than anything. Still good context. WelSee more

$MTTR Does anyone in the #PublicCommunity have any personal experience w/ using Matterport for their business? Would love to get your feedback as it is one that I am continuing to add to my position despite the many red days I've experienced. I have zero personal experience with their product or ease of use, but they seem to be well positioned to take advantage of a large part of the Total AddressabSee more

#consumersentiment sharing for your investment inspirations. A follow-up on my previous consumer sentiment post. So my ski shop called me and saying they finally build up a reasonable level of inventory and I can come in. I went to the shop and I immediately bought everything I need without comparing prices online or asking too many questions. It's binge shopping #supplychain clogging style. 🎿

Sharing my shopping behavior change for your investment inspiration. Online shopping is now really problematic because it does delay. Even $AMZN starts to refund me for things that are not immediately in stock. So the critical shopping mindset change is that now I am afraid of shopping online. I naturally turn to local brick and mortar, which again surprises me that they don't have enough inventorySee more

#IPO What new or upcoming IPO are you most excited about? And no I'm not putting Rivian ... because then this would be a rhetorical question. These were the 4 in the Robinhood Pre-IPO section. I got 15 shares of $BIRD in Pre-IPO so you know which one I am picking... #StrawPolls #ConsumerSentiment

#CoffeeWars So if you had $100 to invest in a ☕ company ... which one would it be? Think big pictures from company culture to branding/following and finally to the actual product and innovation. $BROS - Dutch Bros (new kid on the IPO block) $SBUX - Starbucks (dividends) $DNKN - Dunkin Donuts (great coffee from the grocery store) Other - Not publicly traded but wish it was #StrawPolls #ConsumerSentiment

#VideoConference As an eye doctor, I can't realistically work from home other than to tell you that you might have dry eyes and to use artificial tears. With that said, I am still curious what everyone elses personal experience has been with working from home! What services have you used and found to be the best? Is it Microsoft Teams or Zoom ... I think Skype has been left for dead (spoiler they are owned by $MSFT). If you were investing in the videoconference space in anticipation for heavy use this Fall/Winter and some form of hybrid work going forward ... which one would you invest in? P.S.: "Skype was acquired by Microsoft in May 2011 for $8.5 billion." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype_Technologies and thanks for the idea @BonesSkully #WorkFromHome #RemoteLife #StrawPolls #ConsumerSentiment

#CryptoMarkets So the stock markets are closed and the Fiat markets are the only things open at the moment. So I wanted to do two things w/ this poll. First, I wanted to prove that while there is no ability to buy Crypto on Public (at the moment) ... I wanted to show that there is still a huge demands, so please interact. Second, I wanted to know what alt coins you think are going to go off this year ... so I'm purposely leaving out BTC, ETH, and DOGE. P.S.: Obviously this isn't financial advice but if you could comment w/ your reasoning or relevant articles it would really help the rest of us that are stumbling around not knowing what we are doing!! Please and thank you 😁 #StrawPolls #ConsumerSentiment #ToTheMoon
