$ETD announces a $3.00/share special dividend to quell shareholders while Doug Bergeron's activist efforts escalate. As a reminder, $ETD made the strategic decision to pay almost all of its free cash flow out in dividends (regular + special) over the past few years. The company has no debt and still generates strong FCF despite overall weakness in the housing market and what I would call lackluster execution on its growth plans. Seems like there's still a lot of ways to win here as a shareholder.

@DueDoctor Oh I agree 100%. The move is totally insane. $GME like. +20% would have made some sense based on math. I actually think lack of 2ndary here is even WORSE for them. They need the cash. 2ndary cleans up that need.

$MRNA any basis to think this can make it as a monotherapy or just combination drug?

@DueDoctor All goes well this could add $800mn in annual revenue to $mrna. Added $44B in market cap. Market said that theoretical 2-3 year out revenue is worth 50x + yesterdays' market cap

@Jono8325 @MLedrappier @roadkillrecipes @CalgaryLeveen @FishOnCapital $NN Someone asked my opinion. I provided it. I am sorry if it makes you frustrated that things often take longer than we expect. It has been my life experience that things take longer than expected. That said, I am very positive on the next couple of months with NN.

@BoxLongs $SNAP added $250mn in revenue yy and $200mn in adj ebitda. Adj shares outstanding actually decreased 70 bps yy. FCF +400% yy. While everyone knows its a horribly managed asset, the numbers in isolation are MUCH improved YoY while stock itself is down 30% yy.

@SandBrandyn I bought a basket of software and adjacent in Feb/March. $TEAM most ridiculous example both to the down and now upside... I don't trust the management teams enough to make a concentrated bet on any of these.
