@sp3cul8r No. Been a bit since I’ve thought deeply about the short-term risk/reward on $NVDA.

Too many of you are revving up to make an outsized bet on $NVDA earnings based mostly on vibes. Conviction without an information edge is just confidence dressed up as research.

@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.
