>Moving my thread from Indiachan Religion has one and only one functioning (base of existence) that is to tame one's inner bestialization and allow one self towards something (none of our business for now) Unlike the current trend in so called religion and religious preachers and promoters who are instead of taming the inner beast they are summoning it using different sensory mediums like speed, music, incentives Instead of calming a person which allows the person to be learned and educated in the first place, preachers of current time enraging the said person and spewing hatred which pulls the same person away from learning and quenching its curiosity the very fundamental property that sets humans apart from other beasts Lets discuss the problems and its possible solutions at least a personal case which you and I can take to safeguard one and one's closed ones Special invitation to quality posters like: Chicken Pill "Note: Please do not indulge in this thread just for the sake of it.

BUY GEO GROUP LLC. Description GEO Group is one of two for-profit prison operators in the US. I think the stock has a base case outcome of $12/share by 2024 assuming flat EBITDA and multiple, with an upside case of $18/share and a downside case of $6.50/share. The setup is highly skewed due to the significant cash generation at the business even post debt restructuring. Since this stock was last written up here, the company has a) shut down its "construction & design" segment; b) completed a debt exchange that averted a possible bankruptcy and committed to paying down $200-250M debt/year (20-25% equity FCF yield); c) achieved record EBITDA despite continued federal contract cancelations from the growth in electronic monitoring and prudent cost management. Investors may be missing the fact that electronic monitoring business ($200M revenue and $93M operating income YTD) is now more than half of the contribution of the prison business ($705M revenue and $147M operating income YTD). Growth in electronic monitoring has more than offset the decline in the prison segment. The recent conversion to C-Corp from a REIT and the shut down of the construction business segment highlights what I believe is a transformational change in the business - a transition from a growth oriented company to a cash cow. In the past the company received significant negative press for actively supporting policies that would increase incarceration. The new GEO faces an entirely different set of incentives. Shunned by most investors and narrowly avoiding a debt maturity wall, the new GEO is going to be focused on managing its existing facilities, exiting non-core businesses, and focusing on debt paydown. The cleansing presentation filed by the management team in Jan 2022 showed EBITDA remaining flat at $411M through 2024 and debt reduction of $200 to 250M/year. Just two quarters later, the company has continued to post strong numbers, and the company is now guiding to $523M of EBITDA in 2022 (note that the previous forecast was arguably sandbagged as it was prepared for debt holders in a debt restructuring context, but I think the general assumption of flat revenue/EBITDA is still a reasonable base case). The recent debt restructuring also highlights a perverse benefit of being a "anti-ESG" name - debt investors are unwilling to play hardball in a restructuring when they feel uncomfortable owning and operating prisons in the US. The completion of the debt restructuring commits the company into funneling all available FCF into debt reduction, which I view as a "feature" for equity investors. There is no risk of dilutive M&A or growth investments - this company will just focus on cost management and paying down debt. This focus also reduces the risk of the company get caught in more negative press events and is attractive for lenders, who are collecting 10% coupons with 10%/year forced amortization. GEO is trading at 6x EBITDA, same as its nearest competitor, on what I consider to be trough political EBITDA. The Biden administration has been actively canceling contracts as they come up for renewal - although a number of those contracts were still renewed, as the government often does not have sufficient space in its own facilities. Although there is currently a desire to reduce the prison population in the US, half of the prison revenue is coming from states and not the federal government. Some republican states strongly believe in outsourcing prison management, and even some democratic states like California are suffering from severe prison overcrowding and may in the future utilize spare capacity in GEO prisons. In the downside case that the management produces $200M of FCF and EBITDA decreases from $523M to $411M by 2024, the company would have an EV of $2.5B (at 6x) and net debt of $1.6B. This would still leave a market cap of $864M or $7.00/share, a very attractive downside setup. The book value of land + buildings + improvements is $2.4B (plus $270M for idled facilities), so the downside case assumes liquidation at a fraction of the depreciated book value of the real estate, with no value ascribed to the go forward enterprise value or the electronic monitoring business. There are some notable asset divestitures in the works, and we note that the international business appears to be cash flow neutral. If it wasn't for extremely low cost non-recourse debt in Australia, GEO would have exited the business by now. But even the base case of keeping EBITDA flat at $500M and paying down $250M/year of debt would leave the stock at $12/share, a 25% IRR. Notably the stock would continue to be attractively valued as the company is currently generating AFFO of $2.53/share. Although debt to market cap ratio is 2:1, the company is actually only levered 4.0x and is expected to be <3.0x leverage by 2024. No other company levered 4x would be called "distressed" but in this case the equity attach point is so low that investors are still benefiting from a high gearing ratio.

Name some good forums/sites or the ones which you guys visit?

There is a modern narrative that some people perform better than others, because of privilege, wealth etc. While its true that being born in a good family, money etc do help with avoiding a scarcity mindset, But, I have met plenty of people who come from nothing, but have successful careers, a wife and kids, work 60-80 hours a week, still healthy physically and enjoy life in general. Others work less than 40 hours a week, depressed, busy always but get nothing done etc. One answer is good time management, this is better handled by others who are better at it than me. But another important aspect is learning new skills for practical use. Like how understanding a concept unlocks a math/physics problem that previously seemed alien, similarly in real life (dating, work, common struggles with family etc) understanding many concepts and skills just unlock situations that previously seemed impossible and alien to overcome. An easy way to learn these is to have mentors and contact with successful people you look up to. But, in modern life, this is tougher and tougher, since most people you encounter are just living in zombie reactive mode. Another one is to read books/audiobooks/lectures, specific concepts for specific purposes. Not your run of the mill motivational bullshit that everyone from Hitler to Sadhguru will say. An example that comes to mind is Scarcity (>Picrel) that helped me figure out that I am always working with a Scarcity mindset, I am tunnel visioned into having things I did not have as a kid, therefore I focus on them too much and ignore other aspects of life. As soon as I understood this about me, it fixed automatically a lot of problems I had with my life. I know lot of autists had luck with 5 languages of love, which explained them concepts that are obvious to normies or loveology experts.

I am an avid learner. I like to learn about history, law, and science. I spend my free time learning real analysis instead of going out for a walk. I do not have friends and I'm a NEET (I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science though) but that doesn't worry me much. I feel really annoyed if I cannot learn and I start exhibiting syndromes of a drug addict who's in rehab. Is anybody like me?

I am thinking about ditching all digital mediums to read books and print all my books from pdfs. For this I need: 1. A printer that is cheap auto-duplex printer 2. A (semi) auto book binding machine that can be used to bind books at a reasonable rate. I've solved the first problem. I've marked this printer. It's cheap and supports auto-duplex print, also doesn't have DRMed cartridge. https://www.amazon.in/Brother-HL-L2321D-Single-Function-Monochrome-Printing/dp/B00SHFP99W But haven't found any good solution to the 2nd one. Any (semi)auto book binder do you guys know of? I've found the thermal binding machines that uses glue https://www.amazon.in/Heavy-Thermal-Binding-Machine-Capacity/dp/B06W5JM96Z/ but this type of binding comes off easily and also you need special glue for that. Other machines I've found are for mass production and not suitable for home use. Sewing books using threads is the best method. So far I've only found this machine that is suitable for home. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004753468481.html But I like the Japanese type book more (picrel) which is even more durable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-r6c_trSxY Do you guys happen know about any other machine that can do these kind of stuff? What I'm looking for: 1. For home use, not mass production
