What's the one stock you hope falls due to a "blip" quarter that is likely temporary due to unusual circumstances or investor misinterpretation? Two of my wishes already came true with $SIF and $KLNG. Could throw $FSI into the mix. Next on this early Christmas wish list? $PPIH

@StableBread Nice summary. Thanks for sharing. I’m somewhat excited about the new CEO hire from the competitor, $CECO, who has actually been winning data center contracts.

A concept I've thought about for awhile w/o making any real progress is running quant strategies with expert human judgements as an input. e.g. a human proclaims that $IGV will mostly trade on vibes for the next 2-3 years, so you start running a quant strategy on it that's purpose built for things that trade on vibes
