Thank you for the shoutout Matt! Glad I could be of help at the start of your journey here on X. You are generous with your work and I can see why you reached the 10K milestone so quickly. We love all our podcast guests but you and @ProfPaulNary were such a joy to have on. I still share that episode where we discussed Under Armour $UA with folks.
Yes these Celsius $CELH purchases certainly stood out when we were looking at insider buys this week. They were also buying at similar prices in May. Although those Nov 2025 purchases by the same director that was buying this week (Hal Kravitz) and by their COO were not timed well. Kravitz was previously a Coca Cola executive and has been on Celsius' board for over 10 years. We usually like to see opportunistic insider purchases by independent directors with long tenure on the board.
Fascinating story! Looking forward to listening to the full interview. Wrote this about @mickymalka's insider purchase of $HOOD a few months ago in an Insider Weekends article: https://t.co/5ZWqOfcEuz https://t.co/KU6VxQ7bPO

@ThEDyKman42 @unusual_whales Probably the stake. At a $2T IPO $AMZN ‘s Anthropic position could be worth hundreds of billions and keeps appreciating if Anthropic does. AWS gives them the recurring revenue opportunity on top. They potentially get paid twice.

*WESTINGHOUSE SAID TO SEEK OVER $50 BILLION VALUATION IN US IPO $CCJ owns 49% of Westinghouse. $BEP owns the rest Nuclear has totally fallen off the radar this year. Shitco’s like OKLO and SMR flew the theme too close to the sun and rightfully tanked. Maybe Westinghouse IPO brings the nuclear / uranium trade back

I see this a lot in the investing business. For example, the young fiery aggressive fund managers of the 1990s, who called out dishonest bad management, are now behaving like the companies they used to vicisouly attack. Stuff like $GLRE or $HHH.

Could see $JACK, $WEN, $PZZA all go bankrupt. Probably others across the QSR space (subway, Pizza Hut some of the more challenged private operators) -- to be fair some of these could get acquired too but interesting how that would play through commercial real estate and impact the non distressed survivors -- very challenging space with prices having soared (affordability) and consumers pushing back or finding better/comparable value at a Chili's etc. Freight costs (diesel and trucker shortage from policy moves) and food costs that are/will escalate (freight and commodities) is going to bring new challenges to margins. Menu prices likely need to reset lower across many of these chains but that is a very difficult process for owners and franchises to accomplish especially while input costs continue to rise. GLP1s hurt overall volume trends as well but......look out to automation/robotics in store and how trends tend to switch back to QSR/fast food in a more stressed economic condition there might be select opportunities in the coming months for a few players as prices have/are resetting fast across tis space

@Mr_Derivatives Simple - $FNMA and $FMCC down 55%+ YTD
Right Tail @JeremyKokemor bought $HCA at about 12x earnings on a local-density argument: hospitals compete neighborhood by neighborhood, and HCA holds #1 or #2 share — averaging 25-30% of each market in about 80% of its markets, primarily in Sunbelt states. Outpatient access points — 14 per hospital, heading toward 20 — feed the hospitals, and about 75% of admissions arrive through the ER. Margins held in the high teens through 2009, and half the shares have been retired since the 2011 re-IPO. Historically, HCA has compounded revenue at roughly 7% annually and EPS closer to 17%; Right Tail models mid-single-digit revenue growth and 10-15% EPS growth.

Here's the J-curve stock shape -- many examples of software stocks and high growth stocks, sometimes even large mature companies that release a new product. $MPWR was shaping up for this in November 2024 (I wrote about this and went long) when it dropped a lot after they "lost $NVDA" marketshare, but of course their custom AI accelerator business was growing something like 100% a year, and it was only a matter of time before it showed up in the earnings. It subsequently re-rated after troughing at 35x and had significant earnings growth. Today it goes for 35x again. Will there be another big bump in a few years, maybe robotics?
$KYIV < $13 is a gift if Jared and Trump are going to push a Russia-Ukraine deal through, especially before the midterms. The equity is basically an option on normalization. It’s a great company, it just trades with a massive “Ukraine discount.”

This is the shape of many AI related beneficiaries that I think is the most likely path, a few bumps along the way of course, but more or less the path: $AVGO is an interesting example it has expected EPS growth that looks almost exactly like this, but it doesn't trade for 67.5x, it trades for 20x, which seems to imply that earnings growth rate expectations will pretty dramatically slow down within the next 12-24 months. This doesn't seem likely to me. Of course when I say expected EPS these views are extrapolations of near-term trends and discussions about long-term demand, but all i am making a point about is that if $AVGO's estimates actually materialize roughly like the consensus estimates think, the stock should probably be at least 100% higher.
$FOA has lost about 50% in the past 2 months. I have not followed closely since selling (at a loss) a while ago. Any good writeups on the current situation? https://t.co/af4l42xmfd

Well, I guess $MG won’t be buying $ACFN. $MG gets acquired by H.I.G. Capital (investment firm). Next step, let HIG know about this little unknown company called Acorn Financial… and that it didn’t show up on their screens because it’s not a bank, as the name would imply🥹 https://t.co/zgmKJt0EiN

David Zanoni @BetterIRR $FUBO 🎯 https://t.co/aufg1PiWaF
$BTC has been consolidating for about five weeks. Is a weekend breakout/breakdown on deck? I am long for that possibility. It could move either way out of the consolidation but because the last violent move was up and it has coiled tightly at the top of the prior move, a breakout seems more likely to me.
@Adam17609412325 Also, given $AN skews more towards domestic (trucks!) with worse MPG than say $GPI and $ABG - which skew more towards imports+premium/premium luxury - I'd think higher fuel prices is a bigger headwind to Autonation

@nicholaus20006 these resturant ipo's often feels like the last hurrah, especially if it's a mature-ish brand. the rare $CMG or $WING that has lots of room to grow is another thing, i don't think this concept applies to $jmke though.
Comedian talking sense about $JMKE. Just like how Wendy's went to shredded lettuce instead of Iceburg, $JMKE sandwich quality started deteriorating 2 years ago according to this guy. Not counting them out, but not looking great. I made this mistake of buying $JOAN after it IPO'd. Amazing growth, amazing margins, 12x P/E! Of course it was being undermaintained and quality quickly deteriorated post-covid. Beware of private equity and short-term oriented management teams.
In the $INMD example i posted recently, it has a P/E of 8x or so, and sure it's earnings seem to be collapsing, but what if it stabalizes and then recovers after a few years? In this shape, 8x is not quite the bargain you thought it was. https://t.co/FaIWBcgOsR
Will the shape of memory look not like the deep cyclical's of the past but more so something like this? Maybe $MU should be 13x NTM EPS, not 6x which it is currently. https://t.co/26sSfYz3yb
Wonder what the market might be thinking by giving $MU a forward P/E of 5x during the Situational Awareness liquidation? One possible shape that justifies a 5x p/e: https://t.co/24OatE4VXj
$INMD has 8.5/sh of cash, a 14.5/sh stock price, and around my estimate of .7/sh of eps after accounting for capital requirements and excluding interest income. If this is right, that means it's trading around 8x p/e (6/.7) for just the operating business. Even if you thought it should only be 4x p/e (3/.7), that's 3$ of downside (20%) on a 14.5/sh stock. Vice versa, if you thought it should be 12x p/e (8.4/.7), that's 2.4$ of upside (16%) on a 14.5/sh stock. Suppose a rational stock market investor requires a 9% return, and if he valued a stock at 8x p/e, that multiple would be consistent with a perpetual earnings decline around 3% annually. For a 4x p/e that rate would be closer to 13%. Should we value INMD's future cash stream at an 8x NTM P/E, above, or below? INMD's earnings seems to be declining much faster than 3% annually, even faster than 11% annually. There seems to be a lot of competition, a lot of issues with their strategy, constnat negative revisions, constant missed promises and dissapointments. Wonder what's going on underneath
