Pretty good thesis on $MNRO here. I think it gets sold soon. https://t.co/nx6knvA1Ng

Corporates (spreads are tight, if this gets rly bad spreads should blow out). Long breadth, consumer exposure and small caps through stuff like $IWM, $RSP, $XSHQ, $RSPD. Short the narrow winners like $QQQ, $SMH, $AAPL, $CRWD, $ILMN, $NBIS. Also shorting long crowded bio longs

$CODI < $11 with a potential major asset sale coming is too cheap given underlying value. This thing moves on like $2mm of volume. Illiquidity is both a blessing (dislocations) and a curse (violent gaps)… 🤷‍♂️

Both Up Fintech $TIGR and Futu $FUTU benefited from Asians YOLO-ing into 3x levered long MU and SPCX ETFs, with FUTU now up significantly since the regulatory crackdown in May. They only started throttling Mainland accounts in mid-June so the real impact won't be visible until next quarter. ~12x P/E ex-Mainland if you annualize Q2, although Q3 is bound to be a little weaker.

Monro, Inc. $MNRO looks pretty interesting here. Probably going to get bought out soon as they have been running strategic alternatives since earlier this year. Lots of real estate so you have downside protection. Carl Icahn will go balls to the wall if it is not sold. November has a lot of catalysts set up.

$MAMA is probably at the most attractive valuation since 3 years ago. And right as they are executing super well. This will be a couple billon dollar company in a few years.

$LOGC victory lap...2x in ~15 mo. More room to run as they continue to buy highly-moated assets w/pricing power and pay no tax for decades due to the NOLs. 10+ year compounder. David Abrams agrees. Stock will probably fade some post the rights ($9 rights). ~25x '27 FCF today

Bumble, 2x Owner’s Earnings. Sentiment is abysmal, the founder is back. The stock could easily be a multibagger.

Bumble trades at roughly 2x owner’s earnings and 4.76x enterprise value, with Whitney Wolfe Herd’s return central to a rerating case.
