I shorted this with the Vince McMahon choreography leading into his stepping down.
Long term I LOVE this stock. As a long-standing Jui-Jitsu practitioner the sport is physical-chess in real-time/action & the MMA version is simply EXPLODING globally with their International Performance Institutes being built world-wide (Mexico, etc., with many more coming as we speak): TKO has the making of a LONG TERM Buy & Hold. At least FOR ME! Everyone to do as their finances, goals, financial objectives, needs, timeline, etc., dictate!
I'm back ACCUMULATING & feeling fortunate to have gotten sub-$75 shares (to GO LONG ON) after REPORTING (HERE on this very board) to covering my short position in the $74 to $77 range.... Anyone can CHECK my posting history & verify!
The timing was PERFECT & I expect these shares to provide A TON of upside as Dana builds this thing out. The women's side of MMA is EXPLODING. Just step into ANY dojo & see for yourself. MMA is a wonderful (albeit brutal, ESPECIALLY as one gets older -- if they don't follow certain RULES & work with thoughtful training partners) SPORT with life-long benefits to mind & body!!
I have my Mom, wife, kids, EVERYONE in my family is on-board & has been training (cousins, nephews, nieces, etc.) & go 5x/wk..
If you've never tried it... You should! My best friends Mom just started (in her mid-70's) & after 6mos she looks 20yrs younger! No joke! Love it. Was waiting A LONG TIME for this investment opportunity... But even though I was LONG the sport, etc., Vince shenanigans were NOT going to fly with insiders I had been checking in with.... The REAL Jui-Jitsu community, coaches, etc., is a SMALL TIGHT KNIT group... But the art is expanding daily. And Dana is going to take this to long-term heights. Check in by 2030 & we'll see if I was RIGHT or wrong!! Already GREEN BIGGLY on the short & on my BUYS since closing out my short position!
Now just continue to accumulate, patiently BUY the dips & watch my money GROW along with the sport!

PS: When I was on the East Coast I used to go to Maxfit (Philly), then owned & run by Professor Steve Maxwell... Only Jui-Jitsu place (at the time that EXISTED) & it was a brutally-long drive, brutal training, etc.. (early in the morning; while it was still dark early). Steve Maxwell is highly-regarded, still teaches, & travels THE WORLD teaching fitness & BJJ skills TO THIS DAY! And he's in NUMEROUS NY Times Bestselling books BY NAME!! Long association with BJJ/MMA & so I'm glad to be accumulating this. I see it as a long-term winner! Do your own DD, etc.. folks... Just saying!
