Sell April 35 Puts. This stock has had a huge run. It is hard to look at much of a technical picture, because it hasn't been around that long. If he could buy it at $35, he thinks he would. He is going to get paid over $3 a share today for the right to somebody to sell it back to him at $35.

Is surprised with how well it's doing, but people watch content by streaming, which is Roku's wheelhouse. Shares are up 50% this month, up too much for him.

DON'T BUY
Had a strong beat today

The stock is trading back at levels not seen since summer 2018, but a year ago was over $500 ($70 today). Is now at lows of 2020. The bst days for Roku are behind them, and after the sell-off in recent years, Roku remains an expensive stock.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Beat handily today, but last October they guided to an 8% earnings decline, so the bar was set low. The chart is a disaster, so reporting anything less than a disaster would mean a rally.

DON'T BUY
It's still losing money. Nope.
DON'T BUY
Like Snap, when there's no growth or earnings, then you guide down, then miss on earnings and revenues, there's no place for this company in the market. No surprise it's down 25%. All the streamers have come down. Roku is actually a great company, but how do you value it?
DON'T BUY
It missed earnings badly and got downgraded. Share are getting hammered. He has traded this in the past, years ago, when momentum was strong. Never owned this for its fundamentals. It remains expensive on earnings that won't come for a few more years. Can flow is starting to appear. Roku is just too expensive. PE matters.
DON'T BUY
Wall Street has left certain "pandemic" stocks for dead. Flew from under $60 to $490 during Covd. Absurd. Now, it trades at a still-high 79x earnings. Today's 7% jump (because Roku extended their deal with Amazon) is a one-day increase.
DON'T BUY
Many have given up on this and it trades at 110x earnings. It's classed with Peloton and the lockdown stocks.
DON'T BUY
Roku reminds him of companies that thrived during the pandemic and thank heavens it's winding down. Roku is like Peloton.
DON'T BUY
Like Zoom, it's considered a stay-at-home stock, so it has negative sentiment.

COMMENT
They report Thursday. It was a fabulous lockdown stock. He thinks this can keep winning, BUT will this be reflected in a higher share price? It's one of the most expensive stocks in the entire market.
