How many $META users do they really see being willing and/or able to pay $200 per month for Hatch? I’m pretty good at ordering Doordash and scrolling Reddit on my own thank you very much https://t.co/2Oyf2hoyw4

$TEAM was at $56 just a few months ago, such efficient markets. Reminder, people only care about SBC when stonk prices are going down. Beware folks fitting a narrative onto price action. https://t.co/FaPZr8c7dn

It takes courage to go against the current looking for opportunities that the market will not reward in the short-term. Times of turmoil is when we pay special attention to insiders and they led us to energy stock in mid-2020, regional banks in H1 2023, biotech companies in early 2025 and more recently SaaS stocks. While I don't have a position in $NOW, we did start positions in $CRM, $NAVN (partially exited) and more. Here is some of what I wrote about that decision to double down on SaaS in our July 2026 newsletter:

@PostmodernRogue @fkon1u @DumbMoneyTV what exactly do you think is priced in? >37M launch-quarter units? >45M? >50M? what ARPU? “priced in” isn’t an argument without numbers. There is upside and downside. Been crushing $TTWO GTA trades since ’99. Always happy to compare notes.

Why does he think hedge fund analysts “missed” $NVDA? Every fund I know has been long for some part of the last 5+ years. Did he think it became the most valuable stock in the world from just him (the only hedge fund to own it) and mutual funds? Bull market genius. https://t.co/mS6HJQX61L
