How much would $MCD rally if they changed CEO....capX cycles are not tings investors want to get in front of, and plenty of affordability issues but feels like a new CEO would be given more grace on developing the value menu and reinvigorating the franchisee base then the current team

Pokemon is such a hot product that people are breaking into card stores to sell them. Wall Street suits are sleeping on $GME with their entire thumb up their ass. https://t.co/jTm9Sj7DWI

Imagine being a Wall Street suit, drooling all over your big fat belly, and refusing to buy $GME in this cycle of obese adults buying card board squares of lizards that can spit fire for 69x the cost to print. Pokemon cards still hold value better than the failing U.S. dollar. Wall Street suits are staring at their silly little models, playing with their dumb discount rate, with the inability to pleasure their wives while GameStop transformed their entire business model.

It still amazes me how long it often takes the markets to react to something like Muse META released Muse on September 8th, right around 2 weeks ago (Instinct was even earlier, at the end of August and had similar implications) You had over a full week where nothing really happened besides $META slowly moving higher. That is until Monday, where META shot up 11% and all the Muse winners (especially CPUs) and the agentic losers really started reacting. Has Muse gotten any better since it’s launch? Nope Just goes to show how much price drives the narrative

Perception <> Reality $OWL selling off on a $1bn Loparex restructuring headline, despite having already marked its second-lien exposure to 5 cents on the dollar at June 30, down from 63 cents in March. That excludes any potential equity recovery… Thx for the “gift” Bloomberg… https://t.co/5p1wrv5PzL

Anyone underwriting software credit should have a look at this When software buyers adopt frontier models, incumbent vendors see lower spend 43% of the time and flat spend 41%. Only 17% churn... This report (Qualitate) suggests FLAT spending is the stage BEFORE displacement. Buyers pause first w/o ripping out systems that are embedded in a company's ops. Look at $NOW...the AI-related pressure is due to its customers holding spending flat vs. leaving. If this is the case across levered software credit, we likely just grind lower across multiple A&Es w/o a clear hard default in the near-term

This is why I’m long $GME. Because of dumb Disney Adults. Go there sometime. It’s a bunch of adults without kids acting like children. Now these Disney adults are piling into trading cards. They are reliving their childhood because they will never have kids of their own. Even Toys R Us is reopening to target these morons. It’s turbo time.

Remember during COVID, $RCL was raising debt (secured by 28 of its own ships btw) at 11% just to stay alive? Well, they just agreed to pay $3bn for Sandals, the biggest deal in its history 6 years ago, the question was whether they would still exist...how times change https://t.co/qsdrXBcHhA
