@OnodaCapital $OPEN deserves all the skepticism you can muster, especially because its promoter is a liability. But this structure has been used successfully by other companies, no? I thought $RH did something similar ~5 years ago?

Growth hogs slamming $LFTO down 10% as Liftoff says they also won’t have sequential growth because Q2 was so good from model breakthroughs and The World Cup. Growth hogs and slobs still price Liftoff higher than Entravision even though Liftoff is guiding to 35% annual revenue growth and Entravision is in the triple digit range. Growth hogs are not to be trusted around your wives folks.

@RealJimChanos Simple, $HOOD investors at large are weighted heavier to high growth AI sector and crypto than the S&P.

@Nobilis_Capital @boujee_banker @HettyGreen2020 I can walk to three different Ara's ($JRONY) from my place in Colombia. Omnipresent. If I run out of eggs, bread, milk or whatever just go grab it in a couple minutes rather than getting in my car to go to a big store.

@boujee_banker @Nobilis_Capital @HettyGreen2020 I own $FMX and $JRONY (which owns one of the Colombian ones). $TBBB trading at a huge premium, but they get to 10000+ stores eventually will still work for you.

New $FTEK CEO is interesting to me, ex $CECO which has been a great company. What do you think? There has been a lot of kinda inexplicable decisions for years from mgmt (particularly massive SG&A costs) offsetting what should be strong gross margins. My read is he probably joined to pull some easy levers.

Liftoff $LFTO just reported. Good quarter. No sequential growth too. Market doesn’t like it. Seems fine to me. https://t.co/Qyjt4sdpsi

What price would you guys buy $NCMI at? Stock plunging from terrible acquisition. But there’s a price for everything. Last terrible acquisition I followed was $BTU and their stock collapsed too and they got out of the deal. Stock re-rated hard. https://t.co/ecUOLwfD4H
