Be very careful relying heavily on stock screeners for your research, especially right now. Lots of Cos. are getting tariff refunds, which is inflating operating income and margins. It’s why I love reading press releases to get a broader picture. @InfoArbMonitor $WEYS👇 https://t.co/UQrxoM5tSm

$WYNN shares are trading at January 2007 levels despite significant EBITDA growth. The stock has been rangebound for 7-8 years. Valuation compression has been monumental. We all miss Steve talking about his Lagoon and other matters. Perhaps the opening of the Al Marjan casino in about 13-months will be the catalyst for a massive breakout. I think they've set an extremely low bar for that property.

Bought $CTRI ~$22-$22.50 into this post-earnings sell off. Margins were disappointing, but $CTRI is growing nicely given the tailwinds in energy and utility services. Margins should follow in time from greater scale & pricing power, and the balance sheet is vastly improved.

Big gap higher pre-mkt for $W. Furniture names in general have been ripping the past 3-months. QUIETLY. 4+ years of brutal housing market headwinds and these businesses have been grinding away, generating cash, buying back stock, preserving margins. Easy comps + the potential of an upturn in housing velocity make it a good recipe for longs with valuations that remain notably cheap relative to mid-cycle EBITDA. Look at some of these 3-month returns: $BOBS: 64.8% $W: 35.8% $BSET: 34.1% $WSM: 33.2% $HOFT: 21.4% $LZB: 18.5% $ETD 12.2% There's plenty of juice in the group with a sustained upturn in home furnishings spend after the post-COVID19 crash. $WSM is on our Buyback Outliers list. I own $BSET, $ETD, $BBBY

Interesting look at who made money on $BSP's take out of #airtable. Some people didn't do great here, but a return of funds is always better than nothing in VC land. I'd love to see the original deck on Airtable from 2013 and what this business has morphed into.... https://t.co/D5PMxk25bF
