Looks like $KLNG is winning the subsea battle vs. $MIND. https://t.co/WCc2il0NhZ

It’s happening… Seller’s remorse is starting to set in for trigger-happy $KLNG shareholders. I have a feeling the same will happen to $SIF panic sellers who blindly accepted “horrendous” GAAP EPS as true earnings power. Lesson 👉 Read the transcripts & do your own math. https://t.co/0u7pxLVft4

@finphysnerd @taobanker A sentiment check on X searching $DECK, its universally positive except @CatNyanpital who is the only bearish comments on this name. Doesn't mean it can't work though

@Goldridge_Cap $KWY I only think about per share growth. This assumes they are only issuing a small number of shares each year under their executive comp plan. Not additional shares to do acquisitions.

@Goldridge_Cap $KWY Great questions. If they continue to have quarters like the most recent, they will deserve a 20x multiple. If they reinvest cash flows and can grow at 15-20% per year, a 20x multiple seems reasonable. That is why the next 4-6 quarters will be so valuable to review.

Contrarian view: $MRNA raises equity in next week. Bullish. No equity raise in the next 2-3 weeks? Very bearish.

It is simple: $NVDA is using vendor financing to avert margin pressure and market-share loss. https://t.co/IlD9IHVhP8
