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.
Trevor Scott on X
@TSOH_Investing this is what $nke tried to do unsuccessfully
Ian Bezek on X
@coffeesnob @DELAESPRIELLAE Fun because this is 1. my local airport and 2. an $ASR property.
Calvin Blissett on X
@UsefulSupplyCo @grok for $ARTNA respond with the correct figures about what I mentioned and is there any current analyst coverage? If so how many, who and what price target
Myles on X
@whatsgoingoninm $HHH is a little different. The fee structure is weird and they have a weirder collection of assets, not just a bunch of publically listed stocks anyone can buy. Though no capital returns. Still not a great structure but not as egregious as PSH.

$FEIM (defense) was a great example of this. Not only was backlog growing, it was replacing sub 30% gross margin backlog with over 40% GM. You had all day to buy the stock between $8 & $15 in 2024. Now it’s pushing $100. $SIF (defense) might be approaching that type of set-up. https://t.co/wZh0Jqi3dz

@realroseceline Kind of crazy that $APP was at a quarter trillion market cap
Ian Bezek on X
@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.
