@SowingAlphaSeed I had $U long $APP short on for a while. Still long Unity, but shouldn't have covered Applovin, would have been right on both ends.

Well, it looks like $HQI is still seeing a recovery its business, strengthening throughout Q2. Staffing industry is tough right now, but Co. is still worth tracking. Regarding $MPAA, I guess the chapter 11 asset purchase is still an intriguing catalyst. @InfoArbMonitor https://t.co/uKHwcYQEWr https://t.co/mwNrHQkxkT

Weird world to watch $RNG as the new memory stock. How much longer we think the squeeze in all things people were short 6 weeks ago lasts....getting pretty crazy to watch $WDAY climbing to $185. Doomsday at the lows, but not totally off base to reset off true profitability after years of sbc adjusted multiples. But the risks still remain, that structurally the barrier to generating code is lower, competition will increase as a result. And while there are advantages to certain players installed bases and data the moats have eroded to various degrees. Does anyone actually believe we need more phones, and more base level contact services in the future ($RNG) I doubt so. Its a pretty impressive counter trend, squeeze move against a clear trend (the reversal of May and June) but if you've benefited here from these rebounds I think you would be crazy to not only book profits but not find short exposure in this area, many of these companies even if they surrvive and can pivot to being ai beneficiary will go through some tough times in the coming few years as the prices decline for models and compute access

@TedHZhang or maybe $IMAX does not want to figure it out because they would rather sell the digital system?

Here’s the facts on $SIF: •Sales up 18% on volume + pricing power •Backlog up YoY & sequentially •Adjusted EPS was 51c vs 2c, not a 1c loss vs 54c! •Mgmt EBITDA calc even includes a one-time gain! Wouldn’t be surprised if SIF recoups the entire pullback, pretty swiftly. https://t.co/JTnYurzxzT

$SIF 35% pullback is going to be glorious. 🤣was their best qtr, yet. “This is a lesson on why you need to read press releases and filings, thoroughly, not just relying on headlines or even AI for your investment decisions.
