Your thesis is supported by their financial statements. Their costs are indicative of a company focused on growth. As revenues continue to grow the can scale back marketing and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue to make profits potential. This company has a lot of potential based on the numbers alone... the real problem is the uncertainty in the market for ride and the tech

Trying overly hard to make something seem more objective is in a sense an obfuscation of what you really think. Sometimes you need to cut the BS and tell people what's actually on your mind.

In my experience there are two types of coworkers: those that respond well to BS (read: couched language) and those that don't. You just have to recognize who is who.

Inflation is MV = PQ... you are commenting only on the M which is money supply. You have to factor in the other variables, notably V or the rate of spending. If V remains low, then M can increase without significant inflation.

I've eaten the same meal for lunch almost everyday for the last two months: https://www.reddit.com/r/GifRecipes/comments/8trml3/one_pan_...

I did it for health and weight loss reasons but it's also very tasty, easy to prepare and cheap! Highly recommend!

Depends how you define "sales staff". They need to sell their product in order to make money and they certainly have employees who provide a conduit for customers to buy JIRA.

Their sales costs are low, but maybe not having more sale people is negatively affecting revenue growth?
