Expectations are for growth to accelerate in 2022. In fact, reaching a new subscriber high is likely only the prelude to better things to come. After all, revenue-generating momentum, the primary driver of shareholder value, is at BLBX's back too. And after a successful public offering that added about
Better still, the indicators are in place for that to happen. That's because while its organic growth has been impressive, new capital from its successful
Consider that a reasonable assumption, too. BLBX has made clear that its 2021-22 mission to get its platform into traders' hands is only getting started. And with a surge in the democratized trading movement combined with a healthy bank account, BLBX is indeed exploiting a perfect storm of opportunity.

Squeezing The Shorts From A Position Of Strength
And that storm is adding a tailwind. In addition to BLBX doing its part to increase shareholder value, recent short-selling in the stock after its public offering may add rocket fuel to the cause. To those not following, a massive and apparent coordinated short sale campaign hit BLBX shares almost instantaneous to its NASDAQ uplist. The position was created despite BLBX having less than 13 million shares outstanding, with a good part of those restricted. Indeed, by all measures, the risk-reward profile was weak at best.
But now it's looking worse. Beyond holding a position with unlimited loss exposure, BLBX is squeezing short-side investors by doing what good companies do to fight back- post solid updates. And the news published last week intends to send a message that shorting BLBX can be catastrophic to a portfolio. In fact, that end-game may be in play. While volume ahead of the holiday may not be strong enough to generate maximum pressure on the shorts, the 18% surge since Wednesday alone is indeed sending a message. Cover while you can.
After all, record growth, a strong balance sheet, and a best-in-class trading platform are nothing to bet against. Moreover, insiders are keeping their shares tightly held. Despite rumors contrary, BLBX management went on the record to assure investors that leadership is well-aligned with its base to drive shareholder value higher sooner than later.
That announcement not only reassured its base but also sent BLBX soaring by more than 21%. Also, despite BLBX shares still trading below the
Still, while a potential near-term value kicker may be in play, investors shouldn't be distracted from the underlying thesis about the BLBX trade. Investing in BLBX isn't only about squeezing the shorts for quick gains. The long-term value proposition should be the primary attraction.
Best-In-Class Platform With Partnership Strength
And that attraction is deserved, especially with BLBX owning and serving up a best-in-class, some say best-in-industry, trading platform. And not only is it a powerful product in its own right, but a working relationship with TradeStation (NYSE: QFTA) to enhance its already comprehensive platform features makes it even better. In fact, TradeStation helped take an already excellent platform to the next level, with integrations providing traders and investors with real-time information and insight into the stock market.
And don't underestimate both the immediate and long-term impact of that relationship. By integrating its powerful tools with the market-leading ones at TradeStation, BLBX transformed itself into a one-stop trading spot for novice and professional traders. And the interest did more than validate BLBX. It gave BLBX users the ability to trade stocks and options via TradeStation without ever leaving the Blackbox platform. Not only that, it made BLBX one of the only companies offering a financial technology and social media hybrid platform providing real-time proprietary analytics for stock and options traders of all levels. Social media comments refer to the platform as Robinhood on steroids. Why?
Because
Perhaps the best part of the platform is that it does most of the pre-trade legwork for its users. After running thousands of scans at a millisecond pace, users are provided proprietary options alerts or options flow data. At that point, it's a simple click of the mouse on the highlighted trade button for orders to get executed at speeds usually reserved for institutional traders. Thus, while the working relationship with TradeStation is undoubtedly transformative to BLBX, the most valuable consideration to those using the platform is that it can lead to winning trades in a bias of the time.
And that doesn't happen by coincidence.
Performance Is Lightning-Fast
Traders benefit from a lightning-fast trading platform. And more than fast, it's detailed, with embedded technology continuously scanning the NASDAQ,
But, maybe its most significant and popular feature is that the BLBX platform is the ideal tool for retail investors who want to follow more seasoned investors' trades. In other words, the social aspect of the BLBX platform provides a way for some investors to simply follow more savvy ones through its live audio/video feature, allowing members to broadcast on their own channels to share trade ideas. Consider it an elite chat room where followers can do just as well as the leaders. And that makes the BLBX platform ideal for trading communities, and best of all, gives the entire team the simultaneous benefit of knowledge, speed, and access to real-time information.
Thus, with an enhanced marketing campaign and a budget to expand the reach, expect the BLBX platform to become a more mainstream tool in the coming weeks. Yes, weeks. Remember, the pieces are already in place, and the platform is proven. Moreover, BLBX is a company in motion.
Revenues Surge In Q3, Guidance Is Decidedly Bullish
They are also on a revenue-generating roll. Earlier this month,
There's more about BLBX to justify the bullish position. As noted, after quarter-end, BLBX completed a
A significant catalyst to drive user growth is in the sights, with BLBX planning to make its platform available as iOS or Android apps for mobile devices. And that's not a 2022 focus. BLBX expects those apps to be made available before the end of this year. Thus, while BLBX did well to grow its base organically, it's about to be introduced to millions of potential users. With pricing well within reach of investors and trading tools that allow retail investors to compete with the pros, expect its listings to drive a potentially exponential increase in user downloads.
Hence, the value proposition ahead of any news leaves a valuation gap too big to ignore. Savvy investors aren't. And spiriting their interest further is an article in Forbes highlighting that the retail-focused Fintech sector is in a period of hyper-growth, with unicorn investors providing more than
Of course, that could bode exceptionally well for BLBX. And with
Fundamentals Power Growth in 2022
Thus, don't allow short-term market fluctuations to disrupt a long-term plan.
That's the position best suited for those considering BLBX. Keep in mind that its capital structure is impressive. Its operating performance is posting records. It has industry-best relationships and is about to make its platform available to millions through iOS and Android apps. Combined, it's a powerful arsenal for near and long-term growth. And guidance last week for more record-setting revenue growth adds more potency to the investment consideration.
Thus, while the rally in progress is inviting, consider looking past the noise and value BLBX based on the known values. After all, recognizing the pace of revenue growth is a better indicator of long-term value than a stock price showing signs of an irrational disconnect. At times, investing in the company, not the stock, makes better sense.
Further, it's often good to follow the money. And knowing that institutional investors considered the stock attractive at
