And so on this day of Thanks, I pay it forward to you for making my life wonderful.
1,167,895 readers in five years on the blog. To each and everyone since my debut --
I humbly declare, that I write not for me, but for you.
So the sun rises once more --
With scattered strength and shattered roar.
Lightly punishing blows --
And humility in groves.
Leave sounds of pounding piano opening the hidden door.
Another day of cannot and will not to follow --
Another day of unimaginable pain to swallow.
Pouring rain and whet appetites fall --
Satisfied in whole, empty in all.
Let us feel that which we cannot touch
Let us touch that which we cannot see;
Let us see that which we cannot hear.
And let us hear the music as such.
Let us walk in the wonder and find quiet on the other side;
Let us shake with fury; let us tremble in love;
And let us conquer the great divide.
Let us raise our hands to the sky --
Let us give everything and defy.
Let us not see anyone else so that we may touch the rest --
Let us walk over the step and pass this test.
Let us walk in Marc’s blue suede shoes --
Let us walk in the land of the Delta Blues.
Let Reverend Green welcome our badly worn hand --
Let fury and rage fall quiet in this our last stand.
Let us rise without fear and pain --
Let us lift all else in this passion’s reign.
Let us believe; not one time nor the second --
Let us believe not for want but to reckon.
Let us always find the strength to move --
Let us not search for answers to life prove.
Let us fly higher than death --
Let us fight with every last breath.
Let us make today one --
and nine hundred ninety nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine will be done.
Let us win; and let us never forget that it is inside of us, because we are inside of it.
So the sun rises once more; with scattered strength and shattered roar.
Lightly punishing blows and humility in groves;
Leave sounds of pounding piano opening the hidden door.
Thank you.

* TrueCar (TRUE) - An Introduction in 4 Charts; Unprecedented Gross Margin %
| Tweet | Follow @OphirGottlieb | | |
Provided by Capital Market Laboratories
Do this analysis yourself with the click of mouse button: Capital Market Laboratories
TRUE closed trading at $19.00, up 5.8% with IV30™ down 2.3%. The Symbol Summary is included below.
Provided by Livevol
TrueCar, Inc. (TrueCar) is a data-driven online platform operating a technology infrastructure, powered by data and analytics. The Company operates its company-branded platform on its TrueCar.com Website.
Conclusion
This is the first day I have heard of this company, so I decided we could do a quick intro.
The Charts Tab stock return is include below.
Provided by Livevol
We can see the stock is up 90%.
Now, let's introduce ourselves to the firm through some visualizations.
Revenue (TTM) and Gross Margin %
We can see revenue (blue bars) has risen from ~$115M in revenue to now ~$170M, while gross margin % has remained steady and extraordinarily high.
Provided by Capital Market Laboratories
Gross Margin % vs. Peers
When taking North American Internet Software & Services firms with market caps [$500M, $3B], we can see TRUE has gross margin 5 higher than everybody else... we're talking over 90%.
Provided by Capital Market Laboratories
Book Value vs. Total Assets
As assets have risen (red line), so has book value (blue bars). Good early trend.
Provided by Capital Market Laboratories
Net Income (TTM)
So this is a young firm and it hasn't created a profit for a full year yet. Net Income in the trailing twelve months (TTM) is a loss of ~ $38M.
