In this episode, Scott Becker explores the contrasting stock performances of Match Group and Grindr.
Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
This is Scott Becker with the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. Today's discussion is match versus grinder. And again, this is not a discussion on being hetero or not or being gay or not. I don't care what anybody is. I think everybody should have the right to do whatever they want. I don't care. But match group versus grinder.
Chapter 2: How does Match Group's stock performance compare to Grindr's?
There is a concept here that match group relates to longer-term relationships, people trying to find their match. And I'm sure this is totally wrong because I'm sure people matches all kinds of assets that are short-term and long-term. I don't know. I've been out of that market for some time. God bless. But the point being, match group dropped 10% yesterday and Grindr is up 37% year-to-date.
Chapter 3: What could the stock trends suggest about relationship trends?
So I don't know if that means that more people are moving towards less heterosexual relationships, which is all fantastic. God bless you. God bless anybody who does. I don't care. I love everybody. Or if this means people are moving towards more short-term types of hookups versus longer-term relationships. Again, I don't know, and I don't judge.
I guess the real point is, and I'll bring this back to the stock market is, I have no idea what the macro trends mean for the dating scene, whether LGBTQ or heterosexual, nor do I care.
I guess my advice would be is to buy index funds because I don't know if I come up with serious analysis out of the short-term dating that goes with Grindr and how well their stock is doing versus Match Group getting knocked down 10% yesterday. I don't know. Thank you for listening to the Becker Private Equity Business Podcast. I would love your comments and thoughts on this. 773-766-5322.
