| 0:00.0 | It's Tuesday August 8th. Welcome to Market Fullry. I'm Chris Hill joining me in studio today from a million dollar portfolio of Jason Moser. |
| 0:08.0 | Thanks for me in here. Hey hey. Retail earnings. |
| 0:11.0 | Earnings Spalooza just chugs along and thank goodness because it gives us more to talk about. |
| 0:16.1 | So we're going to get into the apparel sort of fashion apparel retail in a moment, but let's start with online furniture and that of course |
| 0:25.0 | means Wayfair. Wayfair taking a little bit of a hit today, stock down around 8%, but help me understand |
| 0:32.1 | this. They had a loss for the second quarter, but it was smaller |
| 0:36.1 | than people were expecting. Their revenue grew nearly 50 percent from a year ago. This is a stock that had a great 2017, even with the drop today. |
| 0:48.6 | I'm not sure why people are selling this stock because Wayfair's doing what Wayfair has done for a while now. |
| 0:55.0 | Yeah, and they continue to do what they tell us that they're going to do. |
| 0:58.6 | And as you know, I always am a big fan of that. |

| 1:16.0 | But I mean there are signs certainly that at least in the near-term all of these investments |
| 1:19.6 | that are making in business are working and so to your question as to why the market might be selling |
| 1:23.9 | the stock today I think it's a combination of two things number one is that a very good |
| 1:27.3 | year thus far and whenever you have these businesses that aren't profitable yet |
| 1:31.5 | you have to kind of judge their valuation a bit |
| 1:35.0 | more subjectively right I mean valuation is an art in and of itself anyway |
| 1:39.6 | and I think probably the bigger concern is that they are forecasting some modest |
| 1:45.8 | profitability headwinds in the back half of the year as they continue to to |
| 1:49.7 | build out this business particularly on the international front but all at all I mean the |
| 1:55.0 | metrics are all still pointing in the right direction for these guys they're doing a |
| 1:57.7 | good job the stock is up even with the drop today stock is up more than 100%. I think it's around 110% gain for 2017. |
