Micron’s DRAM margin commentary, Core PCE and payrolls headline a week also shaped by Iran ceasefire talks over the Strait of Hormuz.
Here's a cheap but (kinda) funny jab... if my thesis above is correct, and if $ABVX was acquired in August/(early Sept)... it would have saved the whole biotech market...🤷♂️
@mopar_momma @robert34846 I thought @CEOAdam had stuck the $AMC stock up the Apes arse... but whatever...
A contrarian pick, for AI-like return in real estate. $STWD (Starwood Property Trust) has an asymmetric setup for a possible ~50% total return over the next 12 months If Treasury yields peaks and then declines back within the next year, then a combination of the current 13.3% div yield + rerating back to above its undepreciated book value ($19/share) results in close to 50% return for this best of breed lender. True Multi-Cylinder Engine: Unlike pure-play lenders exposed to a single-sector, $STWD operates across commercial lending, infrastructure, and owned real estate. Built-in Counter-Cyclical Hedge: Its Special Servicing and Investing arm actually benefits when market volatility rises, collecting servicing fees that insulate cash flows when traditional credit tightens. Office Risk Is Overblown: U.S. office makes up less than 8% of its total asset base, with the balance anchored in residential, industrial, and essential infrastructure. Unmatched Dividend Track Record: Management has maintained its quarterly dividend for over 17 yrs without a single cut through multiple rate cycles. Collecting a 13.3% cash yield while waiting for a yield-driven rerating could deliver an equity-like upside with institutional downside protection.

$GEN making a run at buying $GDDY Shares of GEN selling off ~30% from $31 to $22 Likely in part from this takeover news and perhaps the influx of Muse-driven subscription cancellations? I own shares of GEN
Some of the more interesting opportunities in credit are the Bitcoin miners (now AI datacenter developers) that issued converts before signing a major lease. $KEEL is one of them. The stock ran up in June, then collapsed, and has barely recovered since. The converts are in the 80s/low-90s. Not distressed or even yield equivalents but something I'm keeping my eye on. Traded as low as 60 earlier this year.
@ChrisAngelini11 @AFMBlog @GameStopKing @trvsrdrgz2 probably, but I have not held $AMC down 99 percent.
Another issue with $ROL is that now that it is becoming easier to set up a business and website and market on the web, if i was a pest technician I'd think about how to go solo so that I don't need to give up all my margin to someone else just because they are setting up all the lead gen infrastructure. Not surprised to see pretty bad non-compete terms with $ROL imposes on their technicians. Already seems to be another advantage that is facing pressure.
This is why X is awesome! Check out this writeup on $BMBL that outlines the worst case scenario well and how the stock could still work. “I like to look down before looking up when I invest” -Joel Greenblatt
It was not looking good even in 2024 there was a lot of evidence for structural pressure on web traffic viewership and thus the value of led gen website providers, which primarily provided content and information. Never expected $ROL, a provider of pest control to become an AI loser But with Muse being able to negotiate prices and price transparency issues now becoming much more efficient a lot of business models could shrink pretty significantly that relied on lazy consumers. I remember in NYC i was once had to call pest control and negotiated with maybe 5 providers, the prices were absurd and it was such a waste of time. Deploying a muse agent to do this dirty work would have been so helpful

yes I am a miserable fuck. There are several things I like. I like that hedge funds bought $AMC debt at pennies on the dollar. I like that Apes kept buying $AMC as the stock count 20x - and the money went to hedge funds. I like that Apes have thus lost a lot of money to make hedge fund managers richer. And I will especially enjoy it when $AMC eventually fails. Now you know what makes me happy.
