Lamar Advertising Co (LAMR) is not a strong buy at the moment for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy. While the technical indicators show some bullish trends and hedge funds are increasing their positions, the company's financial performance in the latest quarter has shown a decline in net income, EPS, and gross margin. Additionally, there are no recent news catalysts or significant analyst upgrades to suggest immediate upside potential. The options data also indicates a lack of strong bullish sentiment. Given the user's impatience and unwillingness to wait for optimal entry points, holding off on this investment until stronger signals emerge would be prudent.

The RSI is neutral at 50.638, suggesting no clear overbought or oversold conditions.
