All of the adjustment to the initial 2022 Roster have been made with the exception of two I am on the fence about - although, I did exit NET today. Probably a mistake. We’ll see.
Here is the opening 2022 Trading Season Roster:
A) STARTERS
- MNDY - Just edged out UPST for Franchise Player but I expect them to swap positions frequently. MNDY Develops/Offers a variety of Software Applications.
Current Stats:
Price: $301.21
Range: 155.01 - 450.00
About 33% Below its High
Market Cap: $13.1B +/-
Latest ER:

- UPST - Artificial Intelligence Lending Platform.
Current Stats:
Price: $144.66
Range: 28.05 - 401.49
About 64% Below its High
Market Cap: $11.7B +/-

- ZS/CRWD - I consider the duo to be one starting position although I admit it seems to present something of a coaching allocation and balancing act. Together they represent high quality investments in cloud security.
Current Stats:
Price: $301.83
Range: 157.03 - 376.11
About 19.7% Below its High
Market Cap: $42B Give or Take

How all that boils down from the basketball perspective:
Point: ZI
Shooting Guard: DDOG
Center: UPST
Power Forward: MNDY
Small Forward: ZS/CRWD
B) The Bench
-
SNOW - If they just gain back what they’ve lost in the sell-off it will be a pretty good 2022 investment.
-
SE - See SNOW above
-
BILL - Not as firmly committed here but on paper it seems promising.
-
GLBE - 2022 could be their time to shine.
How this figures into the roster:
SE, SNOW and BILL are all athletic and lengthy (Think High Growth and High Potential) and could fill a number of positions. MNDY is actually my backup for Center which would mean that one of three would slide over to Power Forward.
GLBE is a tweeter at both Point and the off guard position.
C) Scout Team
-
AFRM - Waiting for the holiday ER report mega explosion. (Or the entire thing was a misfire) At any rate they are on a short term contract.
-
DOCN - Rock solid player that has potential to move up to Bench level.
-
CFLT - See #11 but with a longer term contract.
How do these companies fit into the lineup?
DOCN is a back up point while both AFRM and CFLT could be combo guards.
Note: Dependent upon AFRM’s performance in its very next ER probably determines if their contract is extended.
As I mentioned earlier, there are still two roster positions to be filled; however, I am on the fence and undecided about either at this time.
