    [edit: I just checked this info, it is from 2011. So I'm not sure now what has changed]
    I think they did. Before their problem was sellers weren't making money because all buyers did was buy the discounted Groupon. But now it seems like Groupon is asking sellers for 50-90% discounts and is guaranteeing a minimum return on investment.
    If true, it sounds like they're going the Moviepass route to blowing a stock up: unsustainable deals based on the idea of getting a huge number of users.
    GRPN doubled the revenue estimates, in the middle of a pandemic.

    Looks like we'll get a token down day, after 7 straight days up in QQQ.

    31.85 here for CWH. I saw it at 31.12 and walked away for a moment. Came back 15 minutes later and it was 70 cents higher.

    It didn't work that way for me. My portfolio was in the green. Many times over the S&P. Financials.....banks, mortgage company, housing, REIT did pretty well. I had big losers today also. But that's part of a diverse collection of many different holdings. Teladoc made me abuse....... Statute of limitations. I'll talk about it in 10 years, when I get my money back out of Teladoc. SVC did great. Caused a little stirring from deep in my belly. Got so excited, I picked wild tomato and basil, and cooked pasta. Screenshot_20200807-140054_kindlephoto-1225870523.png

    Camping World will work out. It's profitable because they dominate the market. In the real world, they control the pricing, flow, and distribution of new & used RVs AND guns. Mom & Pop local shop selling ladder racks, lift kits, camper shells, and RVs down the block. All the RV stuff, and the RVs, they order through Camping World. When someone has a trade in, they send it to Camping World. There's no Kelly Blue Book. Pricing for used RV is determined by Camping World. My cousin's gun shop does the same. Camping World has the best distributor pricing on new & used guns, plus they will pay top dollar for trade in used guns.

    Everyone who made money, sold at $42. Today was panic selling, from people who thought that the ship was sinking. The price has leveled out. Guys like me who sold off at $42, will buy it all back up for the dividends and hold until it goes over $40 again.

    I own all the winners and losers. Somehow, I am in the green today.
