I recently shared my brokerage account YTD and Max returns but I’d thought I’d share my actual positions. I’m still heavily invested in $EVC. Let's Go! https://t.co/2tmL8Z5FMw

$ITRN is pristine (was $36 at the time of this post). It’s $55 today, up $3 on a solid Q2. The moron I am, I still haven’t bought. The valuation was never “perfect.” Some things are just worth paying up for. I do see a path to $100. Lesson👉 InfoArb exists even outside microcaps. https://t.co/kJghFGxAph

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
