I've been investing in Discovery $DISCA since last week. Hopefully, the stock price will keep going down so that we can buy more. Just like ViacomCBS $VIAC , Discovery was a victim of the margin call on Archegos Capital, managed by Bill Hwang. The stock gained 300% in one year before crashing by 60% in weeks.

with 2020 operating margins of 25% vs 18% for Viacom and Netflix
$NFLX and 2% for Disney $DIS (20% in 2019)
šš¾šš©šš”š®šØš©šØ:

ā ļøšššØš šØ:
