Yep! It's not a great price (valuation-wise) - trading at 110x next year's earnings without considering cash. Wish I bought more at 40-50x earnings, maybe I'll have a chance again!

 

I have them at 129x EV/EBITDA (forward 12M). Is the 110x PE a CapIQ / Bloomberg estate? That looks cheap.

 

I didn't realize SE had earnings.

Not PE but rather owner’s earnings - how much cash flow can I sustainably take from the business over its lifetime?

 

Optically it has no earnings but looking at the business it seems they are under earning. They can actually generate a profit this year, but I believe that they chose to invest in their moat. Which is about right, as they mentioned they want to “break even” by 2020.

 

Here’s the unit economics.

 

It takes $6 to acquire a customer. Customer orders on average 3.6 times per month and average spend per order is $16. Hence, customer orders $60 per month and if we assume take rate is 10% - they’re being paid back customer acquisition cost in little over a month.

 

Why would you want to generate a profit now?

 

Once they make a profit - I think the huge returns are too late, as it becomes a mature company.

 

Only thing that destroys this is interest rates/deflation on a valuation basis, but I believe they can fund growth from their cash flow if they wanted, hence it’s a temporary problem.

 

It’s similar to Zozo and other e-com in Japan where they did relatively well considering the economy they were operating in where it had deflation or as some call it - the lost decade.

 

Since I always have more capital coming in - I can always average down whenever that happens.

A boat?  ;D

 

Highly recommended. I bought one in October of 2019.  It has been a godsend.  My wife and I spent just about all our free time out on Lake Winnipesaukee this spring, summer, and fall.  A boat is great for social distancing.  Also in case Biden gets any crazy gun control passed I lost all of my guns in a tragic boating incident this past summer.

There s a good saying, "if it drives, flies, floats, or fucks, rent it"... That said, I totally agree with rkbabang as a boat owner. Expensive, but totally worth it.

 

Apparently NBA, NFL, and MLB coaches will literally tell their athletes this.  It is probably the best advice one can give in that position.

Maybe from a money point of view, but the only thing on that list that I rent are things that fly.  Sometimes it's better to own.

Buddy of mine says that BOAT stands for Bust Out Another Thousand!

I doubt there isn't a boat owner that hasn't heard the old joke, "A boat is a hole in the water you try to fill up with money". Gotta say there is a lot of truth in that, especially in Canada where the season is short. After boating since I was a kid and four boats I am now a retired boater.

 

PS My next boat was going to be named "WOFTAM" *
