$LPLA’s customer is the independent financial advisor, not the end investor. Advisors own the client relationship. LPL provides the custody, compliance and infrastructure. The idea that Muse justifies a 7.5% selloff is perception <> reality… https://t.co/VA013VwL2T

Love it or hate it, but the $GNRC / $AMZN deal is an extremely bearish read-through for the legacy backup power suppliers $CMI / $CAT. The equivalent would be $GM coming to China and taking 20% of the market overnight from BYD. https://t.co/loOU0ZaB7V

This is why I think Ryan Cohen put up $46 million dollars into $GME over the past few weeks along with other large insider buys. Pokemon card sales reached an all time high in August. Then in September it was Pokemon's 30th anniversary. It was the biggest coordinated event for Pokemon cards in history. Stores were sold out. Lines all over. GameStop probably made a killing. And this anniversary will continue until the end of the year with more sets dropping in Q4, which is the best quarter. GameStop is going to smoke the $650 million of EBITDA for 2026. I have it closer to $885 million. The core business is on fire. Get more info here: https://t.co/Re7vRQ6uHG

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
