What we can trust is if it makes sense to buy, GTI will do it; if it makes sense not to buy - GTI won’t do it. These guys just get it right - selling more units while prices fall to offset, profitable, not over investing in FL and then amendment 3 didn’t go through, etc.

Seems like (apart from some posts on this board) the vibe on rescheduling is much better. The intoxicating hemp ban amendment also seems to be move thru which would be mso positive. Both industries should be united BUT the anti FL amendment 3 stuff the hemp industry did really left a bad taste in folks mouth me included.

If Trump's OBBB passes, all solar incentives go away This is not necessarily a bad thing for $FSLR in the long run because it will weed out quite a few competition At least in sunny places (CA, FL, TX), utility solar + battery combo is already cheaper than NG **without subsidies**. But I would not jump into $FSLR now because the uncertainty and volatility are just too great

When will the USA be UNITED again? I blame Obama for starting the downfall of our once great nation. My sanctuary city is $150 billion in debt, meaning every citizen now owes $40,000 each. Most of that debt is due to health care for immigrants. That money could've gone to you or your family. And I wouldn't have complained if you wanted to give all your money away. But when it's my money they're giving away i got problems. Thank a Democrat for the inflation on house prices that makes most unaffordable. And the No Kings protest was such a joke. Chicago, LA, NY are already ONE PARTY STATES! Is anyone bragging about how well those cities are run?? I'd rather live in FL.

Happy to share. I meal prep my own food, eat out less. Changed from my Premium Gas Lexus to an EV Tesla Model 3 vehicle since I live 8 min away from work lol. Forgot about gas pretty much and charge free at the office. Also split rent with others instead of having my own place. Canceled as much subscriptions as I could. only drink on Fridays and date 1 girl once in a while, they get expensive af. And yes have to watch ads on Youtube lmao. I live in Sarasota FL near downtown. Rent is hell here. I'm a part-time glass architect for a glass company, my main income is from managing a tile cleaning company.

\> Rescheduling would have the federal government getting less money from cannabis companies though, right? They're not currently getting any directly and things like 280E provide advantages to unregulated market options. The couple billion the federal government would lose in 280E advantages would be easily offset by a small federal tax at current retail sales volume. If it expands the existing market (by additional access and/or rolling the unregulated markets in), it's a net win for everyone other than those selling intoxicating hemp and the legacy market. \> Doing this would also disproportionately hurt blue states. Not really. 1. A number of blue states have hemp bans 2. Some of the biggest cannabis states are red or purple (MI, MO, FL)

It depends on the service. Here in FL we have an "autonomous" shuttle that still has a driver onboard. By my estimates, the driver manually operates it about 20% of the trip with a gamepad.

paper_plains

Yeah that’s not the full picture. Biden admin wasn’t showing up to construction sites, farms, factories, etc rounding ppl up for deportation. There is a shortage of farm labor in Florida now and just last week ICE showed up to a construction site at a FL university and scooped around 100 workers. Now the construction company is saying they can’t complete the new student housing before the start of the school year as planned. And these aren’t isolated incidents.

DeSantis and Trump hate EO lol. I dunno what kind of power you think an Ex pres had over his rival whos the GOV of FL. He made his opinion known. Dunno why you're holding if you predict a 4 year winter under Trump. Without banking reform, rescheduling we are dead in the water. He seems more enthusiastic than Biden. Biden must have been on too many edibles because he didn't do shit with his DA VP for 4 years.

As they get closer to when the plane leaves if they haven’t sold the charter that planes coming back regardless, they get cheaper and cheaper as it gets closer to time to leave.

At the same time it's a little crazy to think that "only taking home 400" is so awful. That puts you in the upper 2% percentile of earners. If you're anywhere but a couple CA markets, or maybe New York / coastal FL, that's a LOT of money. And I'm betting that if you live in one of those very high-cost areas, you'd probably be making more. You will eventually get out of your debt and be very rich by most people's standards. A lot of other professions work as hard, or harder, their entire lives, and will always be 12' underwater.

leomeng

I don’t care about realtors. But the bigger picture is the RE ecosystem is massive and employs a lot of different people and moves a lot of money around. FL AZ TX are looking very very bad. Lot of low interest or adjustable rate speculation is getting flushed. Combination of high rates, lack of tourism, return to office policies

Well, FL passed NY as the 3rd largest state and its kicking ass. GA and NC are now the 7th and 8th largest states. They'll be #5 and #6 in the next decade. South Carolina was the fastest growing state last year. Tennessee is full of California transplants. I'm pretty sure it still sucks in Mississippi, though. I wonder what it's like to live in one of the decaying Northeast states that quit growing a couple of decades ago. I know the West Coast is overran with homelessness and open-air drug markets.

AdMaster5680

I appreciate this! I have friends there who are feeling this. The goal with an investment would also be to buy low, sell high. If you are seeing this first hand now, in 6 months housing prices will be up in flames. Eventually there will have to be a correction, or the state of FL will lose its ass permanently. In the next few years I also believe there will be a correction in the insurance industry for regions like this. If money is to be made, they will NEVER let that die. I learned how to "realtor" in the 2010 market but was too young to take the risk. This sorta makes me salivate at the opportunity. But maybe not yet.

the BCBS advantage plans seem to treat our patients well. Each state is totally different though, esp if you are in FL or CA. I would highly rec a broker bc the devil is in the details. Esp if you have diabetes or are on expensive meds, then part D coverage is going to be a huge factor.

Look at the fundamentals lol. $109M earnings,167M adj earnings, $700M+ FCF, $1.2B EBITDA, $5B-$10B CRE, and the list goes on on on dive into debt- $3.8B is options to extend leases in future. This removes more than half their debt on books. Compare FL vs KSS and get even better numbers. And short interest is greater than 50% currently with short costs finally going up. https://preview.redd.it/xeutk0vl722f1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=10e85ce28f9db1bb438315d25234d6e4eb8f1c75

And yet India has voter ID for all its citizens, but doesn't have toilets for half their country. But I'll meet you halfway. I'm more than happy with just showing existing ID to vote like they do in FL.

Foot Locker has almost an identical downward sales cycle. last 3 years negative sales with TTM under 2020. KSS owning 3x-5x underlying assets as FL, Gross margin \~40% while FLs was 30% and all over the place. Dive into the numbers and KSS is/was doing better than FL. KSS has a Wall Street narrative that you like. It's the next Sears/BBB/JC Penny. Narratives matter. The debt is very interesting at the rates and it being tied to CRE. I'm holding out judgment until earnings and the call next week. I personally think KSS moved so fast bc they bought back stock and need their books in same shape as before so they don't get really punished by the bond market but they already are so IDK

ClydeFrogsDrugDealer

Anyone who lives down here with a brain were not buying a house as prices went sky high. Massive influx of people during Covid due to less restrictions and comparatively lower housing costs at the time. Think Cali or NY or Jersey moving to FL. They kept buying up everything, and driving bidding wars between prospective buyers. Realtors were chomping at the bit…look how awesome my life is rn!! Building never stops and the big guys like Lennar and shit will keep pounding out supply (single family, multi and planned communities) until something changes. Those that bought at those ridiculous prices may not see those same valuations for 20 years. Tons of these people want to leave the state, or the residence they have here is a second or third - so they just leave. These are the majority of sellers. And like you said, they list, and delist constantly in like 5-10k increments of the desired high ass price. Until they cave…and reality sets in. I do socks down here, so I get to see a lot. People in 22-23 were selling corner water lots with a really nice and new 300k house with a big 60k dock and two boat lifts for 1.25m… I for one can’t wait to get a damn good deal on a big leap up for me, housing-wise. Thanks you degen options plays

Solid analysis! You’re right. Value is there and much more than FL but man do they want to make you think it’s a garbage company going bankrupt.

PrecisionOutdoors

check out my analysis on KSS vs FL to make you even more bullish on KSS!! I tried to make a separate post but don't have the Karma?? Foot Locker being bought by Dicks Sporting Goods is big news this week so I thought I'd do a numbers comparison deep dive and see how our favorite ugly stepchild Kohls(KSS) compares to the beloved FootLocker(FL). https://preview.redd.it/glvst1jphn1f1.png?width=712&format=png&auto=webp&s=e8d201a960bf9e50c6cf77a3741dc3996baeae0b FL verse KSS Comps As you can see KSS is actually a MUCH better business than FL. How much better is up to you to decide but I know that we were using premium to book value as a rough gauge. If you look, KSS BV is real while FL's is has $1.123B in "intangibles" that takes it from a BV of $30+ to a tangible BV of \~$19. FL is being bought by Dicks for $2.4B. This comes out to ($2.4B/95M shares): \~$25.26/share(every publication says $24/share so I may be missing something). So if using tangible BV then Dicks is paying a 34.3% premium to tang BV. IF KSS sells for similar then **KSS should have a \~$46/share price tag** If using FCF/Price then FL is selling at 7x FCF, **KSS would be $4.536B value or $40.86/share** Using EBITDA: FL is 6.1xEBITDA; **KSS would be $7.57B or $68.20/share** Using Price/NI: FL is selling at an astonishing 200X... IF KSS is 200X NI then **$21.8B to $33.4B and a share price of $196.40 to $300.90** **GROSS MARGIN/Declining Sales:** I know someone is going to bring up KSS has worse prospects and declining sales than FL. In reality, when you look at numbers, not really. FL has declining sales last 3 years with TTM worse than 2020. GUESS WHAT?!? KSS is the same... Something KSS is MUCH better at is Gross Margins though. 2025 numbers KSS has a 40.4% GM, '24 39.9%, '23 36.7%(notice how KSS is improving??), while FL is 29%, '24 27.8%, and '23 32%(to be honest FL was all over when I was looking at them). **Summary:** I have already talked about this but Wall Street has a narrative that is 100% negative on KSS. Due to this, they have made it the ugly step child of the retail sector YET is better than alot of others and has a REAL BALANCE SHEET. Narratives matter and hopefully we can start changing the narrative on KSS. Looking at my numbers comparison KSS is DRAMATICALLY more solid and a better business the FL yet even before the buyout was selling for 75% more than KSS. Kohls is an excellent operator that is getting the snot beat out of it by the shorts. Let's change the narrative and SQUEEZE the shorts into capitulation! LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK but MAN!! Every, single, time I deep dive something I get wayyyy more bullish!! \*\*Disclaimer: I cut grass and build stuff and my hobby is investing. I just happen to be pretty good at my hobby(*up 300% YTD and a CAGR of 47% for the last 6 years so far.. I am* pretty *proud of this track record LOL*). When I do these numbers my goal is to be close not 100% accurate. Discount some of what I say by 10%-50% and we still get to amazingly better than where we are currently. Take what you read with a grain of salt BUT I show my math and due diligence on purpose. I think Main Street is way smarter than we give ourselves credit for and that we give way too much deference to Wall Street/financial industry "experts". Luckily, I have been blessed to see just how wrong "experts" generally are.\*\*

FL puts, shoe game is ded

Mihirp2413

This only works if the deal falls through, a deal, which is expected to take place in the 2nd half of 2025. Even if it fails it would fail after June/July, till then FL will stay around $24 which is what Dicks proposed to buy. Your gamble is a literal donation. Just $10 so no biggie but goodluck.

bladzalot

I am not OP, but made the same play just WAY further out…. Because markets over-react to acquisitions, FL went up $10 per share in like four seconds after being acquired, and Foot Locker has a hard time competing with the trillion other Brick and Mortar AND online retailers…

Saltlife_Junkie

Lol good luck! FL is a good put play though.

I live in FL like 40% of the year, is $3/Gallon there, am I missing something? Where is the gas cheap?

Classic_Show8837

Well sure but I live in FL in a HCOL area so my idea is minimum wage is way different than Kentucky. So I said I believe the federal minimum wage should definitely be higher, but ultimately the state should set what their citizens need in their state. Where I live the minimum wage is $15/hr but most places pay a minimum of $16 but realistically you can’t survive under $20. I can’t speak for the whole country. I do know how Walmart operates and treats people and it’s terrible. So while they may pay you a “decent” hourly wage they actually enforce low wages by cutting hours and limiting your ability to get paid and collect benefits. So effectively someone making $15hr at Walmart is really earning $10 because they’re only getting 20-30 hrs a week.

CT resident here and in a similar position. It’s nice our area seems to hold value well. On the downside it’s more challenging to buy up. I spend a fair amount of time in FL and you see developments being built as far as the eye can see. Here seeing 2-3 houses being built together is a rarity and is usually in bad lots on a busy road. We just don’t have the inventory in our region that others do. Personally I don’t see prices falling unless there are significant changes in macro factors. Best of luck

Yea I actually did a little bit. I do know about how markets work, candles, liquidity, market makers tactics and all that but never actually did stock options. I'm opening my first position today, a put on FL since it spiked so much I'm betting on a pull back, if I lose 30 bucks then so be it, we'll call it a learning experience 😂

DICKS is buying FL for $24 a share. The price won’t move from there absent news that the deal won’t go through. OP literally fucked by DICKS

FL puts ?

Shorting FL now is a very low probability bet, since the deal is a definitive agreement. The arbitrage is screwed because the terms of the deal are to offer either $24 cash or 0.1168 shares of DKS per FL share. If you take the stock with DKS currently at 179.05, that translates into the equivalent of $20.91 for FL. There is usually a cap for the # of shares that will be able to convert, so that means most people would like stock would get prorated stock and the balance in cash. No meat on the bone in this one.
