@JohnTwomey16 I think the podcast speaks for itself. The FCC is trying to light all available spectrum. Likely includes the 900 MHz owned by $NN.

I’ll be studying the following Delta Sheets: $NSYS - another one of those never ending - “just wait for it, change is coming soon!” - stories. Anyways.. mentions data centers as an opportunity + has defense & medical device angles. Selling near book. $USIO - some smart investors seem to like this payment processing turnaround.

$SNT q2 call will be interesting. If there was a Hall of Fame list for Mgmt. that are cryptic and lack transparency on calls, they’d get a gold jacket. Still, I want to find out if the new LIDAR business can carry the weak/lumpy legacy perimeter security business. They teased us with transparency on the Q1 call, but weren’t sure they’d keep breaking out LIDAR moving forward. BTW.. $TPCS would also be on this list.

$NN. This podcast is must listening. Doesn’t mention NN by name, but amazing insights into FCC strategy under Chairman Carr. This Week: The FCC's Spectrum Pipeline with Arpan Sura - The Week with Roger | Podcast on Spotify https://t.co/tSebqMRetN

still feel the rotation from July-current is more about a short squeeze (the opposite end of the Situational Awareness portfolio) and the dispersion of having to unwind the long semi trade portion. But that rubber band is similarly stretched as it was the opposite direction at the end of June. Still feel its in the process of reversing (even the morning action today looks like a top could set in?) $RNG, $IT, $APPN, $TGT, $EXPE, $FDS, $PAYC, $ELF, $MET, $MFC, $GDDY, $V, and many more that were AI losers that have had incredible runs in the past 4-6 weeks seem like good ways to be short against a snap back to AI or a more seasonal unwind from policy risk trying to control rates, midterm/fall seasonal factors, etc. Especially with SaaS earnings taking the stage later this week and next (overshadowed by $NVDA on Wednesday)
