Title: Traeger Filing IPO
Post by: Bar-B-Lew on July 06, 2021, 10:01:54 PM
Based on the brief amount of information in this article they have been growing their business significantly, but not much money doing it.

Info in this article shows better financial results.  I get they are only discussing one quarter in this article, but those results seem dramatically different than what was listed in that other article.

I've owned a Traeger '09 Texas ... well since March 2010, so 11 years now.  Never heard of the  " Traegerhood "   

I'm an MBA with digital marketing creds.  This stuff angers me.  It's all rainbows and unicorns.  Traeger was a good start for me in this BBQ journey, but it's vastly overselling itself and will dupe investors in the long run.

PS I walked into the hardware store yesterday and per your last post ...  Yup Green Eggs, Weber, and Traeger.  I guess one needs to start somewhere.

I got a kick out of this comment from Traeger in the MarketWatch article.

Traeger said it makes grills that simplify wood-burning cooking by using proprietary pellets and a smartphone-linked control system, as well as a community of grill owners it calls the “Traegerhood.”

Simplifies cooking by using proprietary Pellets ? ? ? Hahahahahahaha
