@Nobilis_Capital @boujee_banker @HettyGreen2020 I can walk to three different Ara's ($JRONY) from my place in Colombia. Omnipresent. If I run out of eggs, bread, milk or whatever just go grab it in a couple minutes rather than getting in my car to go to a big store.

@boujee_banker @Nobilis_Capital @HettyGreen2020 I own $FMX and $JRONY (which owns one of the Colombian ones). $TBBB trading at a huge premium, but they get to 10000+ stores eventually will still work for you.

I'm short a little $CRWV. Obviously I'm not happy with the move today, but I listened to the @cnbc interview with the CEO and two things really made me feel better: 1) @jimcramer called it an "inflection point" and a day that will go down in history (thank you for your tireless service Jim) 2) The $CRWV CEO's stuttering and non-stuttering sequences really were quite revealing. I'm not trying to belittle someone's speech challenges. Public speaking is hard, but someone with some basic CIA interview skills training would have a field day with his 5-10 minute segment on CNBC, particularly when asked about margins, insider selling, and project delays. He struggled mightily there to get the words out, which is telling. Of course @CNBC clipped out most of those parts of the interview, but you can watch the rest here. https://t.co/ldWzhWZXlO

I think $MELI's up for same reason $SE's up. Signs that Sea's reinvestment cycle is turning (or least not as aggressive as feared - see the 2H ebitda guide), which means less pressure on MELI. And maybe MELI margins have found a bottom / will inflect soon too. + Just maybe, both can co-exist & grow 50% y/y.
