From $SNAP Q2 shareholder letter: In scheme of things, the stock barely budged. How much would $META or $AMZN be up if Zuck/Jassy had said the same exact thing? Hint: they would be up many multiples of $SNAP's entire market cap. https://t.co/8QeDQq1LFy

I’ll be studying the following Delta Sheets: $NSYS - another one of those never ending - “just wait for it, change is coming soon!” - stories. Anyways.. mentions data centers as an opportunity + has defense & medical device angles. Selling near book. $USIO - some smart investors seem to like this payment processing turnaround.

$SNT q2 call will be interesting. If there was a Hall of Fame list for Mgmt. that are cryptic and lack transparency on calls, they’d get a gold jacket. Still, I want to find out if the new LIDAR business can carry the weak/lumpy legacy perimeter security business. They teased us with transparency on the Q1 call, but weren’t sure they’d keep breaking out LIDAR moving forward. BTW.. $TPCS would also be on this list.

$TGT continues to run post earnings now at 17x next year before considering net debt load with earnings expected to shrink next year on less than 3% growth Tough weekend too. ATF with 1.8m members (teachers union) announced a boycott for back to school of Target last week and today are having to make public comments about a racially insensitive clown costume….. might seem on the margin but prior issues with pride and other campaigns were a key contributor to TGTs foot traffic problems

After Montgomery-Caribe and the impact on liability for brokers, and the general trend of dramatically higher insurance across the trucking space in recent years. How do people close to the freight market think about the truck rental companies like a U-Haul? If we are pushing liability on professional drivers, what is the case to give everyday drivers access to various side truck fleets and send them off to drive them on American highways? Clearly this practice seems unlikely to go away and U-Haul likely can pass escalating insurance costs on consumers better than the professional transport market but something to think about relative to margins and future demand in this space I think..... $UHAL
