On the daily chart, $SB #sugar looks like it ran too far too fast. Zoom out though and you get a better picture of exactly how far the commodity can move in an uptrend. Staying long. https://t.co/31XQLMRcCZ

$SOXX $NVDA down since the big beat... sure looks like a news failure event. I think it'll be electricity bottlenecks that kill the AI hardware bubble. The hyperscalers controlling that bottleneck should be the biggest winner.

There’s some concern that $FSI recently filed shelf and ATM vehicle are going to be a precursor to dilution. Well, if you believe the verbiage on the Q2 Earnings Call, they’re not👇 “is intended to remain unused unless an unusually compelling acquisition appears, reducing one potential overhang.” The CEO was pretty adamant about this. My “Spidey radar senses” put that statement at about an 85% credibility reading. We have to remember that the company has an idle pharmacy packaging asset that needs some investment to bring it up to par. I believe they had bought the asset out of a distressed asset sale.

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
