@HatfieldCapital @RealHerbHoover From what I've read $MMS has some exposure to va healthcare repricing as well. More importantly the rest of the business is lower quality. No defence/intelligence exposure, some segments overearning (natural disaster work and soft services volumes). Still looks cheap.

Anyone have any suggestions how Muse and Grokbot and more versions to come of agent personal assistants is bullish of communication stocks like $RNG and $FIVN? Took out some of the intermediary businesses like $EVER and some pressure on $EXPE earlier in the day but seems next level is EXPE, some of the insurance brokers, and then phone communication systems seem at the top of losers from changing engagement and channels for B2C and B2B comms

$ONON benefiting from the $1 billion stock buyback announcement as well at their Investor Day. Thankfully they didn't have to tank the stock first by buying a company like HeyDude like $CROX did. Although at this point it looks like Crocs has done enough penance and has been absolved of its sins.

Wrote this quick note when adding $GRAB to my internal watchlist after the dual insider transactions by CEO @AnthonyPY_Tan and COO @alexhungate that were filed after hours yesterday. The purchase reminds me of Neil Mehta's (Greenoaks) insider purchases of Coupang $CPNG and @Alfred_Lin's $100 million purchase of DoorDash $DASH for Sequoia last year.

What do you think the unit economics to make a magic the gathering card is and what the markup is? What happens when you capture the entire retail margin by in housing. What happens when you sell the dumb toy biz? What happens when you stop allocations of MTG from everyone else and funnel to $GME shelves? How does store traffic improve?
