$NN An investor bought 5,000 Sept $15 option contracts today for $1.40. Assuming shares were $25 post NPRM, these have a 7x return or an implied 15% chance of happening. I think at $1.40, these options were priced far below intrinsic value. I like this trade very much. Very smart

@TreyHenninger $THVB is similar to TRUX. I was taught to be skeptical of the SBA loan sellers. There are a few banks that have maintained decent mortgage origination income.

Anybody like $DOMO here? Trading at $3.67 when they will have circa $4.84 in net cash after the sale closes + $900m in NOLs (at a 21% tax rate, that's worth $4.50 to the equity) https://t.co/UwaAd0UkLL
