tough valuation high 40s. sidelines.

- high 8x ev to sales great mid 20s top line growth
- what really worries me is getting SNOW (flaked) when people realize that the sales expenses necessary to produce gross profit growth is temporarily stalled out
- product great. growth remains great. net cash... awesome. stock comp - massive and not helpful in light of the above.
- i just see no reason to neck out in this tape into print (especially bc the next few weeks will be choppy as is). if we get a rally into month-end i'd probably cut this if i owned it.
- just don't like the r/r. i would struggle to own it if they beat and i think all else equal a miss could send this down pretty large (15-20%) and i'd be wondering if i should add or cut. i don't like putting myself in those situations.

lmk if you see it differently. i'll root for you on the sidelines into this print on sep 3 but i can't add my capital to play along.
