$BROS always trades expensive, but a near +40% move recently and competition and pricing issues abound. 7 Brew continues to scale rapidly with nearly identical model to dutch bros, a reinvigorated and cheaper Starbucks, plus McDonalds, Dunkin, Sonic and nearly ever other QSR chasing the refresher/dirty soda/energy drink rush + Swig should put increased pressure on refreshers/emerg portfolio as the market gets more saturated, and $ becomes a bigger competitive factor

$NN I believe the Part 15 opposition is simply trying to get something for free. If they really wanted to secure this space they would just simply buy $ATEX for a 100% premium to their $1.5 billion market cap. Simple, problem solved! https://t.co/8EX6i7RhMc

$NN They won’t do that because they really don’t believe the problem exists. If they did, they could solve this problem in one phone call to the CEO of $ATEX. They will never make that phone call because deep down, they don’t believe in their own claims of interference.

$NN The main opposition at this point of the process is from Part 15 devices. They claim that the NN proposal will destroy the U.S. because of potential interference. Part 15 devices are too vital to America to allow NN to modernize the 900 MHz band.

$NN The opposition claims that the entire economy is reliant on Part 15 devices and that potential interference, which they have not proven at all, will bring down the GDP of the country. They believe we can’t let this happen.

$NN Giant important companies have joined in this chorus. If this were potentially true, what if a relatively simply, cheap, solution could be found to solve this problem. Would’t these big, giant companies try to control the entire economic production of Part 15 devices.

Is the price action in every other space related company today a cautionary tale for $SPCX as to what could happen with $MAGS and other tech leaders when #anthropic and #OpenAI go public later this year or does it simply reflect an uninspired pricing on $SPCX and a stock that might not be up in the absence of $GS support? $RKLB $LUNR $ASTS $PL $RDW
