My Current Position In Fitbit Inc.
I’ve been watching Fitbit Inc (symbol: FIT) over the last couple of years. During that time I’ve bought and sold shares of Fitbit here and there. During August of 2017 I began getting more serious and started purchasing shares fairly regularly. As of January 30th, 2018 I currently own 7,630 shares of Fitbit. With 1,930 in retirement accounts and the remaining 5,700 in my personal brokerage account. I have just $40k invested in Fitbit. with their current share price of $5.22. I’m currently averaging a cost basis per a share of $6.11 (I’m down just around $6,800). I plan to add an additional $5k over the next month to put my total original investment just above $50k.

The Long Term Strategy Of Fitbit
If Fitbit is able to enter into the healthcare side of things. I believe there is a lot of potential for this company. During FY18 I’ll be looking for YoY sales increases and their plan for expanding their services. I still believe that Fitbit is undervalue at it’s current price. With the market cap just under $1.3 billion, this company has a lot of room to go, if they can prove to the market their value.
