Why ElasticSearch (ESTC) is still overvalued after a 30% drop this month
I wanted to bring some qualitative discussion as to why I think Elasticsearch is only at the start of its downfall.

If you are starting out with individual stocks, is it better to build a position with fewer companies?
Someone once told me it's better to build up a position with a small handful of companies if you have less money to start with rather than trying to get a lot of shares from different companies. Is that the prevailing sentiment? It's hard to not feel FOMO for missing out on so many companies.…

Pretty cool company that I have decided to invest into. I normally avoid startups, but this concept seems like a possible breakthrough in terms of food shortage problem-solving.
