@SW_Resurgo I dunno, I see lots of very real cases of people doing shit like this. Remember the guy who went all in on $PDD and then had a royal crash out?

What are the most interesting “rumored deal” or “strategic alternatives” trades today? I’ll start: $FUN - 9/22, Jana pushing for sale $ONT - 8/5, strategic review $VITL - 9/17, rumored take private $CGX.CN - 9/23, strategic review/advisors hired $NFG - 9/16, strategic review (Seneca E&P assets)
Caught a nice move in $META as they have executed nicely on Muse. However, I’m curious to see Muse’s retention stats. Muse’s agentic capabilities still seem like a bit of a novelty to me, and sometimes more of a hassle to use than a value-add. $META has also aggressively re-targeted me with ads on my feed based on my Muse activity. While impressive from a business monetization point of view, it makes me leery to connect my email and other sensitive accounts.
