@accrued_int Yes indeed! Tons of buying In $DKS since August. Retail has generally been a difficult sector for me and so I am approaching this cautiously. https://t.co/sQw6OWE2zl

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.

Fair Isaac $FICO is getting killed today. Looks absolutely hammered. Should deep value guys be buying this today? What’s the worst case scenario here? https://t.co/Ag4mL0lbrS

@Menckenist What good real estate does $SGA own?

As per our SaaS Survival Scorecard series, $DDOG is one of the strongest. The only risk is the model labs making a telemetry agent that feedbacks to coding agents regarding what’s going wrong and needs optimizing in production. If they brought this to market, new application stacks with there observability requirements might go to the model labs instead of DDOG.

@everyonehatesp1 I like $EGHT and may join you on the long side soon. However, it needs to grow revenue substantially. Otherwise, its slow but serial dilution will continue to eat away at sales per share. https://t.co/yWYRKPdXTe
