Bonhoeffer Capital Management @Bonhoeffer_KDS had a full case study on Private Bancorp of America $PBAM in its Q2 letter. PBAM is a California SME and SBA lender with heavy insider ownership, a best-in-class efficiency ratio, and low-cost banking-team acquisitions. The Fund's short-term target is $125 vs. today's ~$87.

Cerebras is a taxi. NVIDIA runs the buses. Almost every confusion about $CBRS begins with reviewing the wrong vehicle. We just published Part 1 of our Cerebras deep dive: → Why wafer-scale SRAM excels at low-batch decode → Why $NVDA becomes the cheaper token factory at high concurrency → Why Cerebras was built for training—but found its future in inference → Why the two architectures are increasingly complementary, not substitutes Our conclusion: Cerebras is mostly a buy over the next 2–3 years—but demand for premium-speed inference will decide the case. The full high-level report is live. 👇 https://t.co/awUwxPUSHI

@JohnTwomey16 I think the podcast speaks for itself. The FCC is trying to light all available spectrum. Likely includes the 900 MHz owned by $NN.

I’ll be studying the following Delta Sheets: $NSYS - another one of those never ending - “just wait for it, change is coming soon!” - stories. Anyways.. mentions data centers as an opportunity + has defense & medical device angles. Selling near book. $USIO - some smart investors seem to like this payment processing turnaround.
