GRPN reports February 9th and currently analysts expect a loss of 2 cents for the quarter.It is useful to see what the stock has done in the last 5 quarters: There were 2 rallies and 3 drops. Each was quite violent.
Groupon is not "cash flow positive" but given that online sales may have been much stronger than "bricks-and-mortar" (like
KSS, 
M, 
JWN, etc), you can look at this stock as a "lottery ticket". It might either be worth a ton more or a ton less when they report very soon.I'm going to take a flyer on a rally, just a tiny position, but I think it's worth it.
ADVICE: Do not trade beyond your means. Trade with your head. One way to look at it is to risk only the amount of funds that you would spend on an evening out seeing a show & going to dinner. Another way is to use 5% of your booked profits for the year so far. How do you manage overall risk? Use options. If you need to learn how to use options, there are a ton of videos available online.
Cheers.
