$REAX
A lot resting on upcoming quarterly results.

Note - in Sept 3,600 agents were using Real Wallet.

In Oct, more than 4,000 agents are using Real Wallet.
This strengthens the proposition that they can grow anciliary services that agents find useful.

No really idea what to make of this stock.
Had interesting discussion with investors re
$FTHM , whose shares have moved in the opposide direction to REAX recently. Questions re REAX's agent growth being sustainable or not - I don't know, but they are growing at between 50-100%, so even if we had several years of slowing growth it would be quite impressive:
2024: 20k
2025: 35k (75% growth, allowing for churn)
2026: 44k (25%)
2027: 53k (20%)
2028: 61k (15%)
Looking across all the brokerage stocks, their margins are terrible, and they seem to be a race to the bottom with each other, and it is unclear who will ultimately win (nor what the prize is for shareholders).
