@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?

Buckley Capital @buckleycapital exited Dave after a 100%+ rally from its average cost — on valuation, despite calling it a great business — and substantially cut Root. The proceeds went to Celsius $CELH and Light & Wonder $LNW.AU, where the Fund calls the street's disbelief in management's $2.0bn 2028 adjusted EBITDA target irrational, implying 150%+ upside.

@WaterworldCapi1 $fds decent short, very big and liquid, not showing deterioration yet, still an opportunity to short into earnings revisions (if they happen)

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.
