@jdm_trades During my chat with $RFIL’s CEO at the @MSmicrocaps conference, he mentioned that the telecom DAC opportunity is very under-penetrated. Stock is a gift down here if you have more than a five second time horizon.

@InvestorMexican Do you follow Yuval Taylor/Fieldsong Investments? Was just looking at $BUKS earlier today because he mentioned it on an @IdeaBrunchEmail interview in April (along with $SIF).
