5%+ SSS comps for the core franchise at $CAKE this quarter. The stock was obviously telling everyone about the inflection in trend. I would like to see better comps at North Italia. Flower Child units could grow faster, but it's clear some of the menu changes and technology improvements are yielding better traffic. It's been a long time since they posted a 5%+ comp. SSS + unit growth is a rare breed in consumer land, $CAKE has it. The LLOK trade remains alive and well. @TiberiusCapital

From the $TOI Q4 call: “That’s actually a very important question and something that we continue to try to drive clarity with our investors on, which is the MA rate cycle and sort of pressure that you’ve seen health plans and full risk, medical groups that are getting a percent of premium face is actually a tailwind for TOI.Our top line Medicare Advantage reimbursement is not a percent of total premium. It’s not impacted by risk adjustment. In fact, pressure on the top line for payers generally causes them to reach out more proactively when it comes to seeking opportunities to provide great care for their patients and good access while also driving improvement in utilization. And so from that perspective, that actually helps our growth. So we tend to get lumped into some of those macro issues with payers, but I just want to make it very clear that, that is actually probably a good thing for TOI.”

Who remembers the $CAR squeeze from April? It feels like 3-decades ago. In any case, the stock is trading at $121 AH. If you ever wonder about the market's ability to inflict the most pain, take a gander at that chart over the past year.

$NN An investor bought 5,000 Sept $15 option contracts today for $1.40. Assuming shares were $25 post NPRM, these have a 7x return or an implied 15% chance of happening. I think at $1.40, these options were priced far below intrinsic value. I like this trade very much. Very smart
