$NN Claiming that this will hurt NN's chances for an NPRM are just silly, not based upon the facts and fear mongering by a short focuses analyst. In think it is clear that the FCC sees the 900 Mhz band as important spectrum and is setting fair rules for all participants.

$NN I would like to see the company come out in full support of this NPRM. I think they would send the message this is good for NN, the country and consumers. Patience is being required but will be rewarded at the end of the process.

$NN While there have been delays in approval, the value of the spectrum continues to rise everyday. NN owns a valuable asset and shareholders should likely be very happy at the end of the process.

$NN The FCC yesterday issued an NPRM to allow Part 15 devices to use the 900 Mhz band in space. Capstone claims this is bad news for NN. I think this is actually great news for NN. The FCC is looking to have an active 900 MHz band, including the NN spectrum.

$NN I suggest folks read the NPRM. It provides the same protections to Part 15 as they already have for terrestrial spectrum, no more, no less. NN is absolutely confident through the testing done to date that we don't create harmful interference. And we won't with satellite uses.

@sScCrRaAbBLLeE @snack8812 $NN Dell, I am still long and strong on NN. Clearly I wish we had made the blog this week, but I think we are still a priority of the FCC. Based upon what I know right now, I think we should be on the blog in the next month or two. I agree it has taken longer than we would like.

Exceptional idiosyncratic short opportunities emerging from the on/off semi trade that is largely indiscriminately moving the markets and sectors each day. (been long opportunities that emerged too) Private credit exposed names have ripped off financial sector rotation and likely some short squeeze in heavily exposed names - names like $FG $MET $MFC (continue to tout these until their exposure is recognized by the market) Software - each name needs to be looked at on its own accord, the broad software is dead or alive from ai does not work. Big rally across the board has left more disrupted names like $PCTY and $PAYC up for the year now. Plenty of others that look good to build sort positions against (especially if you have long software/dats service provider exposure) Dispersion past quarter should set up some very interesting opportunities that should have to stand on their own fundamentals when earnings come
