Added back $CRCT short too: One time tariff impacts make the financials look good, but the company is in structural decline: $26.7M of the $47.4M operating income was non-recurring $20.3M of IEEPA tariff refunds and a $6.4M royalty reserve release. Strip them and operating income is roughly half what printed, on revenue that fell 9%. The rest of the bear case: Hardware is in structural decline — down 22%, with lower ASPs on the Joy 2 and Explore 5 launches and heavier promotion. A razor-and-blades model where the razors are shrinking. Platform growth is 5% and subscribers grew 3% to 3.10M. That's the "good" half, and it isn't growing fast enough to carry a declining hardware base. Engagement is flat, not recovering. 90-day engaged users 3.49M against 3.48M. Management framed stabilising active users as a win, which tells you the trend it's stabilising from. Tariff refunds do not repeat. The Q2 comp next year is brutal.

What a bailout for some of the concentrated players trapped in $SSTI. Don't understand the acquisition or how the pe firm will winout but congrats the concentrated layers who entered late last year and can now break even to even make a little money with the voucher. So much regulatory risk for a product that is not well liked, has well funded campaigns against and has not shown to be overly effective. Best of luck

$ADEA New CEO hire is exactly what you want to see. She spent last 8 years at $ARM turning semi conducter IP into massive growth + recurring revenue honestly surprised stock is down given how the previous CEO exit had been weighing on the stock https://t.co/m34bD0nn3l https://t.co/JXuFHAsKJj

$ASIC has significantly outperformed its more loftily valued peer, Kinsale, by 42% YTD. With Excess and Surplus activity continuing to slow, however, I think Ategrity is no longer the value setup it once was and I've taken profits on the ASIC leg of the trade. https://t.co/X0GyGmL414 https://t.co/IngDuCC0H8

ProQR Therapeutics $PRQR CEO Daniel de Boer bought $513K across two separate purchases on July 7 and July 9, and a company director bought another $229.5K in late June (real money for a Dutch CEO). PRQR is a small-cap RNA-editing biotech backed by a major pharma partner: Eli Lilly. Their collaboration, running since 2021 and expanded in 2022, could pay ProQR up to $3.75 billion in milestones plus royalties, real validation for a company this size. The balance sheet just got stronger too: ProQR raised roughly $59 million in late June 2026, with Lilly buying in alongside the public offering to keep its stake intact, a vote of confidence from the partner who knows their science best.

Paramount's $52bn $WBD debt package is FINALLY in the market. Here's the package: $32bn of IG-rated 1L bonds, the 5th-largest US high-grade sale EVER. Plus $7.5bn of loans and $12.4bn of 2L HY bonds. Paramount's existing unsecured bonds? Primed. Back of the line. Good luck and thanks for playing. Where in the cap stack are you playing? $PSKY $PARA

Selling low vol international stuff and buying risk and rate exposure today (with some hedging using $ANGL, $SMH and $QQQ). Purely a sentiment and positioning thesis. Historically I've been too cautious in these sorts of dislocations so im trying something new.
