Ok, after reading Saul’s MDB/ESTC post:
besides planning on waking up tomorrow at 4:30am (read: pre-market trading) and selling my ESTC (no loss, no gain) I started thinking about the pattern he teaches us to watch for.
Here is his post:
Elastic’s five most recent quarters, in order
82%, 79%, 72%, 70%, 63%
Mongo’s five most recent quarters, in order
49%, 61%, 57%, 85%
The pattern is that Mongo is going up and Elastic is going down.
Fair enough, I’m getting out of ESTC, have ton of MDB already and really high priced right now.
So I’m thinking "is there a pattern to ENPH that I could demonstrate and convince someone/anyone that it might be a rocket ship in earnings? Besides what TJ Robers says on Seeking Alpha and beside what Putnid thinks?
Ok, so in between weight lifting sets (today is chest day) I googled “ENPH Revenue Growth” and came up with this website: https://csimarket.com/stocks/single_growth_rates.php?code=EN…
And here is the revenue growth % for March for the last 4 years.
2016 -26%
2017 -14.61%
2018 27.8%
2019 43.13%
Can I see a pattern? I sure can! Am I crazy? It has been said that I am.
But the revenue growth March to March from 2016 has been doubling! In 2018 it almost tripled!
Does this mean that next 2020 March it will be 80% plus or minus a few pennies?
In other threads I have said that normal thinkers would run screaming if they studied Enphase’s earning reports. But, I am pretty sure an upward pattern like this one might indicate something.

Charles Schwab says I am 73.68% YTD as of yesterday (thank you Friday).
Saul is so good with simple assessments. Right now his one-liner, “I am not getting old, I am old”, rings so true in my ears. I don’t want to wait 4-7 years to get my money back from a recession. I’m not using it to pay bills, but it might be nice if I wanted to buy an electric Volkswagen Mini Bus. . . .
I am trimming like a barber on meth, keeping my 50/50 risk management balanced.
