As I stated, how he opines is immaterial (despite the fact that he’s on record for liking the company, which is why he had Perry on twice and talked about liking the product many times thereafter). But that was a long time ago. Though positive sentiment never hurts, his “OPINEion” is largely immaterial in the scheme of the facts: FDA approvals, broadening scope, increasing sales, plenty of cash, halo product, and a path to profitability, to mention a few.
And, yes, he does do quite intensive research. He may be wacky, but he’s extremely thorough and highly intelligent. Both he and CNBC have extensive resources and staff that do serious due diligence. I assure you he will see what we ALL see. And he will like A LOT. Maybe all of it. But yes, in the final analysis, he may hedge because of the market cap. Or because they’re not yet profitable though that’s not an intransigent sentiment with him. He mainly holds that position in a risk-off environment with recessionary risk or looming rate hikes as we’ve been in the last couple years.
But these days are different. Have you seen Bitcoin lately? Upcoming IPOs? Anticipated rate cuts? We’re in a very different market than a few months ago and he may change his tune, especially when this company will be profitable by next year. Or he may not. Doesn’t really matter.
No — this is ALL about visibility. Institutions are very well aware of this stock with a couple having taken deep bites, but the retail investor by and a large? I don’t know. This stock is/was mostly held by retail last I checked, but that doesn’t necessarily indicate plurality. Many may have it off their radars these days. Many may just need a couple of positive comments that piques their interest and jives with their risk tolerance. This is who I would expect to come looking. Thousands will look. Some will buy. Maybe small fish. Maybe big fish. There’s no way to know. All I’m saying is “hold on tight.” TiGETTY-tight.
PS: relying “on the new executives executing what seems like a very workable strategy” is in no way shape or form mutually exclusive to gaining massive visibility. Both can be had.
