I have a theory that a company’s name can sometimes hurt more than help. Forget the obvious dotcom, blockchain and AI naming frenzies. I think there’s a more subtle phenomenon where companies disproportionately sell off because their names are more closely associated with whatever sector or risk the market is trying to avoid, regardless of actual underlying exposure. Look at $PCG vs. $EIX during the LA wildfires. $PCG had less direct exposure but traded at a larger discount. Everyone associates PG&E with bankruptcy, lawsuits and wildfires (thank you, Erin Brockovich). What the hell is Edison International, a light bulb company? Even more subtle: FedEx Freight ($FDXF) vs. $SAIA. One screams trucking and economic cyclicality. The other sounds like a beauty brand. Sometimes the name itself becomes a risk factor…

@CurryorNothing @tembelvitesi @tlaubers We've been at it before, but nobody is paying for GB here. And they're only just about to get started launching internationally. $FOUR holders on here has to be amongst the whiniest, sensitive bagholders I can recall. They hate the stock the more it goes down.

@wolf_of_ape_st @vladtenev it is really important for market integrity that Vlad is stopped here. @CEOAdam is doing the right thing. This tokenisation makes it easier for Ken Griffin to naked short ladder attack this in dark pools. But it won't happen. Vlad will win. Ken Griffin will win. Short $AMC>

I cannot reconcile the significant insider buying at $celh w/Bloom’s scanner data, clear shelf space gains, & social momentum. Plus freight headwind Alani LTOs (witches brew) are doing well/slight accel but core CELH doesn’t have accel potential until Q1 Too much risk I think
