Where is AAP headed?

Dear those in this subreddit, Id like to know where the company is headed.

Here in this post I explain what I seen at Advance Auto Parts. I have been observing the stock price since about last year when it was $200 per share but the stock absolutely tanked. The company seems to follow a common 3 year cycle with its highs and lows lasting a 3 year period. However I believe the company is in a spot where it can not bounce back from.

Then, we have the management. The management is absolutely deteriorating. No offense to the great store managers out there. Some are terrible.

Next, we have the investors. Theres claims of a class action lawsuit that Advance Auto Parts has mislead investors and the company is subjected to securities fraud. Thats absolutely terrible news on top of the competitors Autozone and O'Reilly widely known for their better atmosphere and management qualities. Also, the company's credit rating from the public online sources is now in the "JUNK" category. However its okay because Advance Auto has taken out another 200M dollar loan from banks so it should be good.

Instead of investing money into the hardware for this company to run such as the computers, processing power, cameras with CCTV to prevent theft, or a better parts catalog without all the freezes, or loading times (which is the core of the point-of-sale system), and the lack of hiring vehicle-minded individuals is why the company is not selling as much as they potentially can or more. Higher wages is a must for the first line of workers like sales associate since they are selling parts to assets in the world that banks hand out loans for. Critical thinking is involved when performing a vehicle code scan, reading the code, then consulting with the customer to find a right part that fits their needs.

Is the company stock price going up or down? Id like to learn more so I can act accordingly maybe place some orders in robinhood in the calls/puts category.
