In case you're wondering how "actively" executives "manage" their 10b5-1 plans, I present to you the $4.0MM stock sale (27K shares) from $HURN's CEO filed TODAY. Unprecedented squeeze/rally in the stock and he sold ALL of the stock in his 10b5-1 in a SINGLE DAY (It was filed 10/30/25 and expires 10/30/26). Remarkable https://t.co/EqEp25lTxm

Sam Altman sounded a lot more at ease about his revenue ramp and was even bullish about his compute commitments (even saying they may have been too conservative) in this podcast. Given that he has been relatively quiet on the podcast circuit over the past year, I view this as a positive tell on OpenAI/$ORCL. https://t.co/yezInyb9XB

$MSFT print and call is the best thing that could have happened to the AI infra trade at this panic stage. Solid growth across the board with key KPI acceleration (Azure). At the same time, opex to grow slower than revenues, capex $ down due to accounting change (higher useful life estimate) but actual demand for "compute" up a bunch. Still generating FCF on back of accelerating OCF to over 30%+. AI bulls should be thanking $MSFT rn.

Thanks again to @realsteveeisman for having me on his podcast again. It's always fun chopping it up with Steve. We talked about a lot of things: the ever shifting dynamics of the residential real estate market ($Z/$ZG, $COMP $RKT, $CSGP etc.), structural problems in for-profit education (it's not just AI), and why I'm short $GOOG among other things. You can listen to the episode here! https://t.co/PdhE7ro93h
