Ann: 1H21 conference call, page-7

Yep, I am a long term holder.....mostly bought during the weakness of a couple of yeras go. I am not a trader and haven't sold any shares despite the wild ride since buying.
As for the one off payments, that is a feature of this type of business and , in fact, many other industries where lump sum payments can be made in a particular reporting period. For me, it doesn't really matter how this skews the quarterly result in whicj it is made , I look to the longer term metrix.....FY results..... which faltten out the bumps. It will happen again when the NASA payment is received.
What really matters is the underlying growth in the business , not one off payments.
I think the growth in Freelancer usage , UPWK payments and, now, the new Freightlancer ( Load Share ) is what will really matter to market watchers and I am expecting all of these to show strong growth which will be evident in the results.
