Almost every multiplayer game these days has a Battle Pass or something similar. Destiny is no exception.

However, compared to other games, Destiny’s Battle Pass is incredibly weak. You get a bunch of random garbage—some materials, some glimmer, a couple weapon rolls you’ll instantly dismantle, a single skin aka an ornament set, and one exotic ornament at level 100.

The usual suspects are there, too; like finishers and emotes, but nothing too crazy usually.

In addition, you get these pointless boosts to various things…usually after you’ve already played the season a ton. “Extra drops maybe if I play Crucible?” Not really useful at rank 85 when I’m already burnt out for the season.

Other games (that are actually F2P) offer premium currency not just in the premium track of the battle pass, but also in the FREE track as well.

In addition, if you buy a battle pass, and you complete the battle pass to its max rank for the season, you will earn enough currency to buy the next season, using the currency you earned.

Full disclosure, I hate Battle Passes and all of the monetization/microtransaction hell we have found ourselves in.

BUT, if this is our reality, the least Bungie could do is make their Battle Pass on par with the rest of the industry.

Dedicated players could earn enough Silver to maybe buy one Silver ornament per season, or more casual players would be able to buy every season using the currency they’ve earned from reaching Rank 100.

Players get more skins, “free” seasons, and engagement stays super high—seems like a win/win-ish for everyone if Eververse is here to stay, which come on, it is).

Because as it stands…if Bungie doesn’t add Silver to the Season Pass…what’s the point? Dungeons are some of the best content in the game—if you take them out of a season, why would I want to buy that season?

Because it seems like with this change the season value proposition continues to go down. Take Season of the Lost for example—the only thing really worth it out of the entire season (that costs money to get, you can get Lorentz free) is Ager’s Scepter.

Astral Alingment isn’t fun really, and all of the loot is pretty garbage. The Shattered Realm is cool the first time you go through, then it’s just tedious and its loot is also bad. Every season is a 6 player horde mode that you can’t fail, with recycled mechanics and enemies (Astral is just heavy ball dunking, with Last Wish Eye of Riven, and the Riflemen as a boss).

There is story and lore conten

ZIM tends to pull back after touching new ATHs. Just keep this in mind for the coming trading days.

After speaking with an ex-colleague of mine I can confidently say shipping rates have not fallen from their December highs. On the contrary, rates have gone up a few thousand per 40’ container from China Base Ports to US west coast ports. $24k-$26k/40’ (through EOM)

My math gets me at 19.36. Started to nibble again today 100 at $14.70 brings me to 1200

Travis Kelce. What are you doing with him? Buy or sell?

Travis Kelce. In the off season, would you be willing to buy him? If you own him, are you pivoting?

Curious to see the general consensus on Kelce. He has been the goat for the TE position for the last 6 years. He was still pretty dominant this year but the guy is turning 33 next year. Would you cash out or buy? If so, what would be your offer?

Market Mechanics and Clov stock

The price drop since squeeze was due to many factors.

1. The price at peak of squeeze and valuation was out of whack and way too early for this company. Those who helped caused squeeze took profits and shorted.

2. Green Oaks who was an early investor converted all of their 100 million class b shares to class a which in turn increased the float by 100 million shares since the conversion they have preceded to sell 75 million of those shares on market (they may have sold the remaining 25 million share but haven’t filed yet), which caused steep price drop.

3. Dilution. Yes it sucked. Was it an absolute necessity at the time maybe yes maybe no but it happened. there is the saying prepare for the worst hope for the best. This is what they were doing by rating the capital now. Who knows what worldly problem might be thrown at the world and United States. Inflation, recession, interest rate hikes, covid variant number 25 and so on. They now have the tools to the tune of $859 million cash and equivalents on hand to weather any storm thrown at them in 2022 .  So hindsight I am glad they diluted as it only makes them a stronger company in 2022   and moving forward. Now that is behind us I have averaged down massively and now hold a $3.74 average. My long bull case has not changed but has only gotten stronger.

4. Currently analyst hold a price target range between $7-$10. The most recent analyst to update price target was done after the dilution and set a PT of $7. They justify this by using 2022   projected revenue of 2.5 billion at a 1.3x multiple. $7 is the low end and even at $7 this projects an 87% upside from todays trading price. Additionally 3 new analyst are starting coverage in 2022 .

5. Clov in 2021 has garnered many partnerships with Thyme care, Walmart, Walgreens, and Cricket Health. They have patent applications in for tele medicine increasing the synergies of clover assistant and lowering costs.

6. With no more dilution needed, an abundance of cash on hand, no more B shares (outside of CEO’s Bshares) that are able to convert to A, green oaks almost out, cms star upgrade, footprint more than doubling in 2022  now is the time to average down.

7. Clover Healths nexus point is nearing where they will turn profitable. Once that happens the stock will move only one direction and that is up.

8. Pnc financial services now holds 6,611,767 shares. Increasing their holding by 367,000%.

EDIT - within 50 minutes this community provided enough input that I can run with it from here. I sincerely appreciate everyone who helped. To those that doubted me or my project - I understand your concerns - this is an intense situation and there many bad actors involved. If / when this project comes to fruition, I will be sure to let you know - even better - I hope that you will see it for yourselves.

I wish you all the best.

I have the opportunity to get verified, cited and comprehensive DD into the hands of people that can get it into the public arena in big way. I've messaged the MODS, CRIAND and others for help, but have not heard back. I can verify this opportunity with the MODS easily.

Ok so the biggest post of this weekend (or even month) by u/thabat is truly amazing but one part is very wrong and I think it needs some clarification (in case someone doesn't know what post I'm taking about: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/pmj9yk/i_found_the_entire_naked_shorting_game_plan/ )

u/thabat is speculating that the number "6347.00" might be the result of dividing $31,735 by 5. Well, it's not. It's just $190.41 (current price) divided by 0.03 (EPS estimate that yahoo is using).

Don't believe me? Check this out:

https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/gme/price-earnings-peg-ratios

Nasdaq is saying that the P/E estimate for 2022 is 9520.5. I got hyped as fuck when I saw this but then I asked myself (same as u/thabat) how the fuck did they come up with this? And then I saw in the other section that the EPS estimate for 2022 is 0.02

https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/gme/earnings

190.41/0.02 = 9520.5

190.41/0.03 = 6347.0

So as for the rest of things in the post (especially float of 249mm and obviously cellar boxing post) I'm really hyped, but this is not one of them. This just means that Yahoo is using the value of 0.03 as the consensus for EPS forecast.

Learn, buy and hodl!

Paul was killing Christians before he became a Christian himself. Is forgiveness not the same for Christian that had an affair as it is for the new convert coming to Christ? Isn’t this why Christ came because we are sinners. This raises another question, how do we know if the pastor that has an affair is after Gods own heart or if he’s a Wolf in sheep clothing?

The question is: what the fuck?

Ok, so today was a bloodbath after a nice run-up last week. Shit, you're hurting and I'm hurting.

BUT if you held today as I did, this is what is going to happen in my opinion, based on history.

Alright, so the last time they paid a special dividend was ex dividend date 5/14, record date 5/17 and pay date 6/01.

https://preview.redd.it/htqz5iqdfvz71.png?width=1746&format=png&auto=webp&s=1297510f13f1b0f5c85a9dad00cc23c0d27c3e5a

So 5/14 had a low of 27.48 and three days later on record date a high of 30.88. So, yes there is a dip before a rip. It traded sideways until the regular dividend was paid on 5/28 where on 6/3 it hit a high of 37.36.

So let's say it will repeat again right, today's 11/15 close at 33.65, I expect the price to increase until 11/17 to maybe around $40 and then trade sideways until the next dividend date 12/01 where I expect the price to hit close to $50.

But this time it may be a different story with retail popularity and dividend payout during OPEX week. But today it fucking tanked a little more than 20% today which is out of the fucking blue, who knows, it can fucking rip 100% tomorrow.

I'm a fucking idiot, might be a future bagholder, a hopeless optimistic who hangs onto a glimmer of hope OR could this be the next GME???? LOKO.

TLDR: PT $50 by 12/01

Positions (degnerate only)

Hello guys. I'm a veterinarian by profession and I see a lot of strays. Like a lot of them. And some people are good hearted and take care of how many they can. In my country, the authorities are overwhelmed with this problem and those people I spoke about become overwhelmed as well. I work in a veterinary clinic, but i don't own the clinic. I was thinking about a system which can provide free neutering for strays or for people who can't afford to neuter their pets and I have two main ideas:

1. Pay it forward system - the people can pay for a number of animals and we will spay them for people who can't afford or any street animal.

2. Make an online store where I would sell food, clothes and supplies for animals, but with a higher price so I can use the profits to neuter those animals.

What would you choose? Would you pay a higher price of a product of you knew that the profits will go to this? Or the funding campaign sounds more promising and realisable for you guys?

I want to specify that in the clinic I work, the blood tests cost 50$ and the surgery cost 50$ as well.

Here is what I found since the reset: https://imgur.com/a/twYHNr1

In my opinion the GG ones are: Skull Eye (+2, 10 IAS, - 10 Cold res

Stone eye: 20 ias, 46% ED, 19% DS, +15 all res, poison length reduced by 50% (maybe nice for rathma?) clean.

Viper eye : 20% ias, 10% pierce, all res 6, 75% reduced poison, +5 MAEK

What have you guys been finding and trading?

Also no idea about any of those prices..

Loopring went up 10x in a week. GJ to all the profit takers. People who bought in at $3+ and didnt expect a huge retracement ............you have fomo disease. take it as a learning opportunity for the future. There is no news yet, so price wont move. And bitcoin will drag us down with it if it wants to. Start looking forward instead of backwards.
