Adding long exposure (through $IWM and $RSP mainly) makes me feel sick, which backs up my belief that the timing is good to add long exposure.

@SayNoToTrading @YehiaElgohary Would need to do a stock split, $1000 share price ruins a price-weighted index. $TXN has to get in on one of these Dow additions eventually.

You can't find the Switch Two Zelda Edition anywhere. It is sold out at GameStop $GME. This 40th Anniversary game for Ocarina of Time is going to sell so much hardware and accessories. And then you have GTA 6 coming out too. Insiders at GameStop are loading up on shares like crazy. They see internal sales and how much money they are about to print.

$LULU peaked at 14x EV/S and 82x NTM PE in 2020. $NKE EBITDA margin has collapsed from 18% in 2021 to 10.7% today. https://t.co/qF1yYC18dz

Some $PSIX thoughts off the recent 8-K: The banking syndicate lifted committed capacity from $135m to $220m (+$85m), cut the SOFR margin from +2.60% to +1.80%, and pushed maturity from July 2027 to September 2029 (~26 months). Credit committees are structurally risk-averse. More exposure, less spread, and longer tenor only clears if they like the repayment case. So what are they underwriting that most equity investors still won’t touch? Two things the disclosures imply: 1) Weichai’s North American strategy is locked in. Change-of-control remains tied to Weichai keeping board control and ≥40% ownership (same economic threshold as before). The extension removes left-tail risk that Weichai pursues a different go-to-market path. 2) The extra capacity isn’t for today’s balance sheet. Net debt was essentially zero at Q2’26 (cash ~$70m, debt ~$73m). The new investor materials flag Prime Power as a deliverable for the first time—ranges that overlap $INIO’s data-center gas engines, a segment where $INIO recently highlighted as an area "Chinese players have historically struggled to break in" and hence command "100% market share in several datacenter power ranges". As Bezos put it: your margin is my opportunity. Have a great weekend, everybody!
