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.

@Nobilis_Capital @boujee_banker @HettyGreen2020 I can walk to three different Ara's ($JRONY) from my place in Colombia. Omnipresent. If I run out of eggs, bread, milk or whatever just go grab it in a couple minutes rather than getting in my car to go to a big store.

@boujee_banker @Nobilis_Capital @HettyGreen2020 I own $FMX and $JRONY (which owns one of the Colombian ones). $TBBB trading at a huge premium, but they get to 10000+ stores eventually will still work for you.

Just as Lucent and Alcatel did, $NVDA is providing enormous vendor financing, thus in part the argument as to why it is a “synthetic” neocloud hyperscaler. $NVDA is on the hook if the neoclouds stop paying. I think there are great similarities between the neocloud boom and the CLEC buildout. And I think there is great risk of DWDM-like innovation (which is what killed the fiber industry) in LLMs, memory, et al. Finally, some investors whine about $NVDA’s “low multiple.” That’s what happens when you lend money to your customers to prop up pricing power and stem market share loses to ASICs. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

New $FTEK CEO is interesting to me, ex $CECO which has been a great company. What do you think? There has been a lot of kinda inexplicable decisions for years from mgmt (particularly massive SG&A costs) offsetting what should be strong gross margins. My read is he probably joined to pull some easy levers.

Liftoff $LFTO just reported. Good quarter. No sequential growth too. Market doesn’t like it. Seems fine to me. https://t.co/Qyjt4sdpsi

Is it correct that Adyen hasn't developed their own A2A payment option? (think I heard on some expert call). And now $FOUR owns Global Blue and soon an A2A biz which is attractive for big ticket purchases/luxury goods?

What price would you guys buy $NCMI at? Stock plunging from terrible acquisition. But there’s a price for everything. Last terrible acquisition I followed was $BTU and their stock collapsed too and they got out of the deal. Stock re-rated hard. https://t.co/ecUOLwfD4H
