Q: Hello, I have followed DYA for a while. Technology looks interesting yet the market is indicating the technology is disappointing. Please provide a recent update. Also, In a earlier answer for DYA, you indicted that "we have coments in the Q&A on DYA". Where is the Q&A? I have looked for it and cannot find it. I just see questions. Thanks

Q: PLBY (PLAYBOY GROUP INC.)

Please provide some thoughtful insights on PLBY Group.

The company has performed very well since it de-SPACed approximately 8 months ago. The company was taken public in 2011 by Rizvi, but since Hefner's passing in 2017, the company has shifted in a new direction led by CEO Ben Kohn (someone with great success in his previous ventures - taking minority stakes in pre-IPO tech companies [Twitter, Facebook, Square, Snapchat, SpaceX, Uber]). I have watched as many interviews from the CEO and recent developments I could get my hands on, and I'm impressed!

Retail Analyst Brian McGough from Hedgeye has touted this to be a potential 10 bagger ($250.00+ stock / 10B+ valuation) (See his publicly available tweets). Ben Kohn believes the company can be worth 40B.

The thesis here is multi-fold, which also includes improving licensing agreements (Hef and Co. were lackluster on this front), expanding in other categories, and possible NFTs (monetizing on their previous works).

There seems to be significant brand improvements from the old Playboy from my cursory exploration. www.playboy.com / www.yandy.com / www.playboy.tv
(Seems more youthful and gender balanced).

Just wondering if PLBY has come across 5i's radar, and what insights you can provide beyond the recent earnings report. Very much appreciated!

Q: With the down turn in tech stocks, I am thinking of sellimg my Photon and replacing it with QUIS, CTS, and WELL. I t looks like the price of Photon will not go up much more that 3.60 and perhaps these stocks can benefit from the correction they are in. I figure that I might as well put the money and great profits (200%) to work in these potential gainers. What do you think of this switch.
