Some interesting credit stats: > Hyperscalers are now ~20% of the entire 30-yr IG bond bucket > ~40% of all 30-yr IG deals this year came from hyperscalers > $AMZN and $META each make up more than 5% of long-end bonds individually

I don't agree. $GME could have easily put in place a 10b5-1 program that would allow them to repurchase shares through any sort of blackout period. In-fact - I expect they did exactly this. https://t.co/V9ZJuwYaen

If limited to large caps, Verizon looks kinda interesting here? $vz Revenue accelerating into H2 (4% in Q4?), FCF ramping, '27 guided to be better than '26, yet analysts expect sub 2% rev growth next year? Google contract signed (>$1B rev), others should follow.

Optimist Fund @optimist_fund sees an opportunity in the buy-now-pay-later space and has conducted a deep dive into Affirm $AFRM. The fund says the buy-now-pay-later model is still lightly penetrated in US e-commerce and barely penetrated once bricks-and-mortar retail is included. Underwriting every transaction individually at the point of sale, with terms fixed upfront and no compounding interest or late fees, aligns the lender with the consumer in a way the revolving credit card model does not.
