I bought ODD and ROOT, both are basically where I bought them yesterday morning and I still think both are cheap. So, fine I guess.
Did you exit your $ROOT position?
I sold ROOT. Made about $120k or so on it. Also shorted APP recently and made about $110k. Made a dumb trade shorting TSLA and lost some but overall up a good amount past few months. I have three separate portfolios with different brokers. This one is a single stock/high risk portfolio. I do large trades in single stocks with tight stop losses, but I let my winners ride. This portfolio started with $50k in 2020 and it’s at $1.27M now. I also have a low risk long term portfolio (never sell portfolio). It’s mostly ETFs but I have a few individual stocks in there, all safeish long hold stocks for me like NVDA and UNH. Then i have a dividend portfolio. It’s all high dividend plays. CLO funds and low-risk REITs mostly, but also have some bond funds and a few high dividend stocks. I get average 5% yield in that with minimal volatility. I use it mostly for income. Pretty low risk as well.
Did you make massive gains these last few months or so? Looks like you’re last thread was putting your whole portfolio of $1.1 million into ROOT but now $1.2 wont break the bank? Not accusing, just curious. Did you get out of ROOT?
look into $ROOT for the 1000x+. ROOT is building a network with the largest players in the auto industry including toyota & hyundai and multiple other players to come. ROOT also beats legacy insurers on key metrics all around. despite this, ROOT still trades at less than 1/100x the size of progressive
hey brother! always have to talk about ROOT you know
ROOT guy back again attempting to pump.
sorry, sticking with the story that the bear market doesn't end on a friday. it will gap down more monday. though, you're not going to be able to time to the bounce. so if its attractive enough, i would personally buy the dips. i'll be going something that is inflation & tariff proof in the worst case scenario but yet has the alpha of a tech/ai name like $ROOT with a potential 1000x+
ROOT for the 1000x in a DEFENSIVE industry but yet also has the tech alpha. ROOT is building networks with the largest players in the industry including Toyota & Hyundai. it is also beating legacy insurers in key metrics all around. despite this, it is trading at 1/100X the size of progressive.
look into $ROOT the next 1000x+. ROOT is building networks with the largest players in the auto industry including Hyundai and Toyota. it is beating legacy insurers in key metrics all around. despite this, it is still trading at less than 1/100x PGR.
Why didn’t I sell ROOT at 100… I was up bigly for a while and now down bigly lol
Remember when all those accounts randomly posted ROOT yolos last month. And then never posted again in this sub. Totally organic and normal
I can't see any of the meme garbage I bought that was pumped in wsb: ASST, LDI, RZLV, ROOT etc. Where are you getting your information from?
its going to take probably a decade to see real revenue from quantum. its just a massive short squeeze party over there right now. for long term, real growth & real earnings, look into ROOT with 1000x+ potential. ROOT is building a network with the largest players in auto including Toyota & Hyundai, & many others to come. It is also beating legacy on key metrics all around. despite this, it is trading at 1/100X the size of $PGR
lol, this happen? Some guys tried doing the same with ROOT like a month ago
Remember 2 months ago there were nonstop bot posts shilling ROOT with fake full port yolos and it didn’t work. Stock hasn’t moved at all
I posted this previously [Imgur: The magic of the Internet](https://imgur.com/a/UaPMVAo) Only changes since then are I got small positions in JXN, ROOT, RIG, and DLO and bought more FOA, CAAP, HTLD. Also sold a bunch of my IVV (S&P 500) which I feel bad about but gambling on more short term gains on more exciting stocks. May be starting a position in XPEL soon, stocks I am open to buying more of are FOA, ABL, CAAP, DLO, HTLD and ROOT, and I want to build back up my IVV.
They banned me for thinking I was a ROOT pump and dump bot, then told me to F off when I tried to get unbanned. ROOT my biggest holding, they banned a whole wave of us on ROOT lol
$ROOT tore my ass big wide open
I no longer sell 100% of my shares in a stock (unless I'm holding a miniscule amount.) I sold AXON way too early. And my method failed me with ROOT, which I gradually sold enough over multiple quarters.
look into ROOT. you'll do well with it. it sells auto insurance and is in a recession and inflation proof sector. ROOT is the most derisked 1000x play long term as it is building a network with the largest players in the auto industry including Toyota & Hyundai. It also beats legacy insurers on key metrics all around. despite that ROOT trades at 1/100x the market cap of progressive.
ROOT. Seriously. Sold below 4 and it shot up to 180 if memory serves
do you guys think ROOT is a buy rn?
Was up $400 on ROOT 2 days ago now negative $50. Shoulda sold out, feelsbad. 15% drop on 3 days is diabolical
A part of me thinks that OPEN hits near 9$ mark and I am very unsure whether it will be another dump or a new beginning. Gold is slightly dipping, BTC & ETH seem to be slowly going up again. If I had the money and these dip a little: (Would buy just a bit) 1. Wendy's 2. RKLB 3. ONDS 4. VERI 5. ROOT 6. PLUG 7. BBAI
Remember when people here were randomly shilling ROOT for a day?
ROOT ROOT ROOT! I wanna see you close above 104.
it doesn't hurt to swap to buying defensive companies at high valuations. lots of value names in insurance right now. insurance is way overlooked as they compound in growth over time. it grows during recessions and it beats inflation. Though, if you want both alpha & defensive, i would look into $ROOT. when budgets are constraint, consumers will shop insurance more, which they'll lean toward ROOT for superior pricing. Also, ROOT is an AI/tech play, so you'll also get both the defensive and alpha with it. ROOT is doing wonderful things in their partnership channel partnering with the biggest names in auto, and also having better metrics than their legacy counterparts. despite that it still trades at 1/100 the size of progressive.
good job saving and investing! i'd say you need at least a high flyer in there that could 1000x. i would recommend $ROOT
Nice! I'm waiting for sofi to have a pullback but it doesn't seem like it will. Lmnd is good. Have you checked out their competitor ROOT? That one could also be a good one
Continuing to buy SWPPX for my long term plans, but my current gambling stock is ROOT.
ROOT broke through 102. Up next is 103.
My gut tells me HOOD still has more momentum than the market can keep up with and a lot of fire behind it, am bullish on crypto insanity and retail investors and I see HOOD fast becoming "the" trading app for newer invetors, a lot of risk too if you are bearish on the economy though. Also ROOT Inc. undervalued or at least overlooked for where I think it will go
net tangible is -62B. slow to zero growth & slow death of telecommunications. if you value it based on PEG, you actually get a PEG valuation of 2. forward PE- 7.016/3.44% growth =2.039 IMO its not bad. balance sheet will improve over time which has been happening, and Comcast is still a leader in many markets where ever you go. Its a fair stock, but not something where i get excited and say its going to 1000X during my lifetime. Instead look at ROOT with a forward PEG of .1. i can get excited with this knowing it could be a 1000X+ play in my lifetime.
Is ROOT still a play? I don't understand how it ties in with CVNA but ROOT does seem undervalued
ROOT making life worth living again
i hope you lose because this will be bad for my ROOT position.
It looks like cvna's q2 earnings report may have been pumped by ROOT last quarter too, but ROOT has taken a huge fall this quarter despite earnings being beat - this could potentially feed into a bad q3 earnings report for cvna, right?
Yea I’m probably gonna get back in after a week or two depending on how things go with this position. I have some calls on ROOT in another account for 3 and 6 months out.
That’s pretty intriguing, if he’s serious about replicating Buffett’s playbook, a P&C insurer does seem like the most logical move. The ability to reinvest underwriting float is what made Berkshire’s model so powerful, and Ackman definitely seems like the type who would want that compounding engine. I doubt he’d go near LMND or HIPO given their profitability issues, and health/life insurance feels off the table for the reasons you mentioned (capital intensity and his past criticism of UNH). ROOT could be interesting if he sees a turnaround path, but it’s risky and doesn’t really fit the “steady float + reinvestment” model yet. Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he goes after a smaller, boring but profitable P&C player under the radar and tries to scale it up over time
To answer your question -- I went to CHATGPT, I'm also a bag holder in LMND as disclaimer. I been following LMND for a long time and find their method to reducing expenses is a lot better than ROOT and also they sell direct to consumer meaning 15% discount to consumers or 15% increase revenue for LMND however you want to view it. https://preview.redd.it/fzrfroszjmpf1.png?width=779&format=png&auto=webp&s=9f7c0ced090c1a8b792d8f1206d97f7ed57894c5
why are you trying this on LMND, while ROOT has much better chance to go up. It is profitable, it is half the market cap , it is 1/10th the float of this. Why do you like this then ROOT ? curious
Why are you so confident for ROOT?
Yea almost $60 nowadays haha as for ROOT you think it will reach its 52 week highs again anytime soon? I believe $160ish, it's nearly 2x from current levels
It's a comparable to LMND... LMND has done well after doing their tech investments... I think ROOT will do similar. Currently valued at much lower multiple, and took a recent hit because they're investing more in AI / tech and spending more on cap-x than expected. I think it's a good investment and will eventually create shareholder value.
What's your thesis in ROOT? I saw it's a pretty big position you got.
All the usual stuff. GOOG UNH LDI OPEN NVDA ROOT SPY
You can see the closing trades in the history… sold it about 220 then got into ROOT and OPEN… recently sold open 50% of open after it 4x’d from 2.50 to 10 and opened other stuff
you need to look further than just the AI underwriting, & telematics. Although impressive, due to superior pricing and loss ratios, ROOT is doing much more incredible things elsewhere. ROOT built the FIRST embedded platform with a used car dealer and insurer. ROOT built the FIRST completely customizable embedded platform with an IA ROOT will soon build the first and ONLY exclusive embedded platform with an OEM(hyundai) & Insurer ROOT grew 3x YoY in the partnership channel, and now has over 20+ major partners strong. The auto insurance market is a 500b TAM, and two channels dominate the TAM, which is embedded & IAs. 55% of policies come from these two channels and ROOT's moat in embedded & IAs is allowing them to become a future leader in the space ROOT is dominating the IA channel due to their tailored platforms, better pricing, QTI in mins vs legacy that takes hours to days, digital first, where ROOTs platform is faster and more efficient. IAs are flocking to work with ROOT, and legacy doesn't have an answer to it. i can go on and on, but the more you know about ROOT, the more you realize why ROOT is going to be the #1 carrier.
some of them uses OBD devices, but root goes through completely off the app. the other thing is, even if a competitor is collecting data via driving, its another thing to figure out to analyze that data using AI. I.E, how they drive at night, weather, or how quickly they brake, etc. Also, some cars drive differently. there are so many variables if you really think it through, and based on those variables, how is risk calculated? Just tracking driving doesn't really mean legacy got their underwriting down. Its proof in the pudding where ROOT has superior pricing and loss ratios.
roots partnership channel does not utilize telematics, which has tripled in growth 3x YoY. ROOT has a hybrid strategy. though back to the point, that it doesn't matter because the apps on the phone are already tracking your daily moves.
If you want to get into the insurtech space, check HIPO and ROOT. They’re actually profitable.
Why ROOT but no HIPO or LMND?
10x bagger would make this a $42B company, even though currently it's still unprofitable, id recommend it's competitor ROOT, it's actually profitable and recently took a pummeling but it's recovering fast.
Im going with ROOT instead
Can someone explain whether aping into ROOT is the move
Needa find a stock like where $ROOT was at in ‘22
ROOT is gonna pop to $130 soon. idk if i wanna take a gamble tho
to be fair, he didn't even mention ROOT..
Can see why you think that lol but I only have handful of stocks and ROOT is one of them.
funny you say this because I have a position in $ROOT
Love it. this was great. Thanks for sharing. $ROOT comes up to mind here. **Industry-** IT ✔️ **Size**\- 1.5B ✔️ **Moat-** Leader in auto insurance metrics & dominating the two main channels that make up over 55% of auto insurance- embedded & IAs ✔️ **Growth-** ROOT will do 50%+ CAGR in 2026 **Reinvestment durability** \- Insurance stocks infinitely stack with inflation. Goes up during recessions & compounds growth as earnings are reinvested **Founder led-** ROOT is founder led with 12% owned by insiders **Discounted near lows-** ROOT is trading at 82% discount from 52 week high & nearly 55% discounted from 52 week high.
not really a negative tangible equity investor. RILY is unprofitable & has negative 1b in net tangible equity. i get they have made asset sales but there balance sheet still isn't healthy. it would have to be something really enticing for me to ever take take the risk to purchase something with a balance sheet like that. the risk/reward here isn't really here. if you really want to talk about good risk/reward, i would look into ROOT. 1.5B mcap. beats legacy key metrics all around but trades 1/100 the size of progressive. potential upside at 100-1000x.
Who else are in ROOT here?
Only 500 ROOT shares? Not nearly enough!!
Loving my highly diversified portfolio of various OTM calls on RZLV, ROOT and OPEN
Holy green dildo ROOT !!!
Long time KNSL owner.... we're entering a soft market for insurance and I expect a few years of mediocre to poor performance out of KNSL. Management has commented that they are seeing a lot of price competition (probably due to poor risk management by competitors). We're probably a big risk event away from good performance out of P&C names. We need to knock a few names out of the game. On top of that, lower rates actually hurt insurance as they earn less money on their float. That said, I haven't sold anything. I think the company is stellar and will be a long term winner. I'm just not eager to add to it for awhile. There are a few small names that are becoming extremely cheap though. ACIC is a name out of Florida that is really highly regarded among insurance people. KINS is one out of NYC that has almost no following due to its size. I like KINS more because NYC has been exited by a number of large players and KINS is sucking up market share in the resulting vacuum. Meanwhile the stock has been sold off with the broad sector as the company puts up 20%+ earnings growth. In lieu of PGR I've actually been buying ROOT. Much longer runway and some short term earnings occurrences have masked great growth by the company. The stock is starting to find some traction too. I bought a ton near $90.
I bought it in the low $90s. There's actually some really good write ups on Substack and X about the name. Value degens and growth chasers are both showing interest in the company. For your questions: 1) people already let their phone track them endlessly. They don't care. 2) possibly. ROOT has a first mover advantage in that they have the most data, but other companies are playing catch up. It's possible ROOT just gets bought by a bigger player.
Anyone following ROOT? It's a car insurance company that uses telematics to track your driving behaviour to tailor personalized insurance rates. I guess what I'm wondering/trying to research is 1. Will people get on board/be comfortable or incentivized to use this kind of technology and 2. How big is the moat, where are other car insurance companies at in terms of doing the same telematics I've seen some stirring as well on this stock on subs like WSB, I think it could be a "meme hype" stock for better or worse but I like the idea behind it.
ROOT is going to be better than ORCL. It is the most derisked 100X+ here's why: ROOT is significantly undervalued with a forward PE in the 4’s & a forward PEG less than .1. If ROOT 10X today, it would still be trading cheaper than its peers who trade at 1-3+ PEG ROOT is projected to do a billion+ in NI by 2029 end. at 6B rev & 1.5billion NI at a 40X multiple, that would put ROOT at a 60B mcap or $4000 PPS(45x). discount that to today’s value and that puts the current value at $2034+ here's a quick elevator pitch: \-all 50 states by 2026 end. currently in 35 now \-Onboarding of embedded partners that has yet to be implemented technologically with over 20 major partners in the early stages including CVNA, Toyota, GSHD, Experian, Hyundai, First connect, etc. Should see growth from these partners later in the year going into 2026 \- New major partners that have yet to be announced that are larger than CVNA \- Agressive onboarding of subagencies since public launch in Q4 with now over 7k+ subagency partners and soon half of the agency market in a few yrs. Growth will be exponential on this part of the equation as the qts go along, with expectations of it adding billions in rev growth annually over the long run \- economy of scale kicking in as time goes on with a 75% CR long term due to ROOT's ai tech stack efficiency making them 2X more profit efficient than their legacy counterparts \-New products that would double rev growth due to cross-sell, increasing stickiness by 27% & customer pool by 33% due to bundling Buying ROOT is like buying PGR at 5 cents, a 5000X+ return except ROOT will grow exponentially faster due to AI, automation & the internet. ROOT to 2034+
Judging by the number of ROOT posts. I think it's more than half.
idk. seems expensive right now. UNH has a forward PEG of 4.45. versus ROOT with forward P/E in the 5's, and with growth levers hit, it will grow at 50%+ CAGR, or a forward PEG of .1. ROOT would need to 44X in size to have the same PEG values as UNH. Let that sink in. Plus ROOT doesn't have to deal with healthcare cuts, regulatory caps of 80%, keeping UNH margins tight at <5%, which means one ROOT policy would equal multiple UNH policies.
ROOT i feel like doesn't get enough love, because its a "small cap", but in the reality its beating legacy insurers left and right on key metrics all around. its a pretty easy 100x-1000x+ play in the long term, and still only trades at 1/100 the size of progressive.
ROOT has incredible call premiums. solid long term stock either way. i wouldn't recommend covered calls, cause you'll lose your shares, but just to give you an idea to work on
$ROOT still going up AH. Get it girl
Anyone know why my ROOT is up nicely today? Just bought it cos of some guy’s DD made with AI 🤠 Up 12 % already
Haha literally me today with ROOT
HOOD has been great the last few weeks I cashed out my 95s and 93s and sold more 105s today. Other than that... I sell CCs and CSPs on SOFI as well. I think I sold a ROOT CSP. AMZN is decent in my mind as well and has nowhere to go but up for now. GOOG could be good just depends on the premium. OSCR is in play as well.
Up $16K today on ROOT and holding because I'm a ROOTarded pig
Scam ROOT gone up without any cause.
ROOT my ass saved me today
Waiting for $ROOT to flip $LMND
ROOT going up bigly today
ROOT rangers are winning big
Sold on this rip. I know there's more upside, but I wanted to add to some higher conviction positions that were down. Bought CAAP, KFS, and ROOT.
