yep. again, i just don't know how they grow. my guess is ads in the cars.


ETA: thinking about that Black Mirror episode where if you close you eyes, the ad stops playing and won't finish until you watch it. the lyft car comes to a stop if you try to mute or close your eyes while an add is playing!

i am not a sophisticated investor and have never claimed to be...but i just do not see how these companies (lyft, uber, waitr) will ever make money. i think lyft by itself lost almost $1B (with a B) last year

they are going to get into a wage fight with their drivers, the big cities they are most successful in are already fighting gridlock on the streets, and its straight up a liability nightmare

I don't claim to be an expert either but people have been making money off of the "taxi" concept since it began... Lyft/Uber can parlay their service in a number of different directions... whether that be marketing,data, delivery service etc. Now does that mean I believe in the company? Not necessarily but they have a ton of usage and could theoretically make or lose money a number of different ways.

SIAP but Lyft has the model that works best for partnerships for the trillions of dollars of public trans infrastructure retro that are coming in the next 10 years in the US.

That said, im too old to take risks with my money. But if I was 25, i would but that shite.

Looking like it's going to open around 69.

Does this thing get down to like 63? Maybe, its falling like a rock

So many people were saying off the cuff on friday, "If it gets to the 50s I'll play." Here we go. At some point this thing is going to redirect hard.
