I call this the "LLOK" trade (Lower Leg of the K). This is a really interesting non-consensus thematic opportunity, dare I call it contrarian (if you're old enough to remember when that was a preferred approach to alpha generation). Investors have been quick to dismiss anything resembling a LLOK trade, but look what's happened in the past few weeks: $DLTR, $CASY, $CBRL, $PENN, $PRKS all massively outperforming in the past month. I'll include my beloved $CAKE in this group. Yes, some of that is factor rotation, but employment tailwinds for this consumer set might be better as a result of data center CAPEX/reindustrialization, and the "sell these names on gas prices" trade couldn't be hackneyed analysis. Finally, follow @TiberiusCapital, he's one of the best investors I know.

@scottwilsonUSD $NN I think the July and August meetings are live meetings for an NPRM. While not critical months, these are live and have a reasonable possibility of happening. The process should also accelerate the final rule and order timeline, as the work is being done right now in that area

$NN It is possible that Carr will be able to help the Part 15 user base and approve the 900 MHz modernization plan put forward by NN. The country needs an actionable alternative plan for GPS. The NN plan is important for our country. The time is now for action.

$NN The attached clips show that the hearing accomplished important work on public policy. Let the FCC do their job. The facts and the testing should/will demonstrate no unreasonable interference will occur from the upgrades to the band.

$NN No matter how many times the opposition states there will be interference, the real world testing is not indicating any interference is happening. Squeaky wheels sometime get greased in DC. The opposition seems to be looking for some grease from their contrary stance.
