Sigh, I remember a time when a stock with a price earnings ratio of 5 to 1 was considered risky. A time when balance sheets carried equity totals that were many multiples of debt. Also I remember a time that the Dow was less than a thousand points. I also remember the 50's and 60's. But I digress.😀

The “fundamentals” on SNAP are cringe worthy.

Yes, that was when I enjoyed looking up stocks in the paper, reading PE’s was a hobby on Sunday’s plus the Wall Street Journal was a subscription we had. A DOW 1,000 was a dream my father never saw. I told him about Walmart, Wendy’s, Southern Company etc. I was working for EG Hutton. I was upset when they closed. Honestly a client worth millions told me about SO. I recall we got Apple computers around 1981. Old MS DOS types.
