$NN OIRA posted they are taking a meeting on June 10th from opposition party. Might mean that June 3rd blog announcement is off the table. Explains today’s stock weakness. Patience will be required but likely rewarded. Balance sheet getting much stronger with warrant redemption

As it pops 10% on a solid quarter and guide, I find myself trying to remind the young ones that just THREE YEARS AGO, $ANF was the $MU/$SNDK of its time. Yes, it's true. The stock went up 10x in 18-months.... Now they continue to hammer away at the sharecount at a 7-10% annual rate, manage inventory levels tightly, and hope that teenagers can still find jobs this summer to buy low rise baggy jeans at #hollister

@scottwilsonUSD @cfrischer1 just more of the same. no effort to explain why US RFID/part 15 needs all of lower 900 when the rest of the world functions fine with much less, & ignoring that $NN is meant to be just part of a system of systems.

@scottwilsonUSD @cfrischer1 Womack is seemingly in $WMT's pocket & claiming $NN will interfere with RFID. However, $NN has the proof that they do not interfere with RFID, so presumably Womack will go away.

@scottwilsonUSD $NN I think there will be a solution that works for all parties. The country needs our spectrum.
