GTCR and Elliott are buying $CCC at ~5.3x fwd revenue and ~12.5x EBITDA. This is a uppier-tier vertical SaaS w/ ~42% EBITDA margins, ~98% gross retention, and network effects If the best assets are clearing at 5-6x, think about what that means for software lenders on everything else.

$CCLD crazy important earnings. Questions and things to monitor: new AI products, cybersecurity any and all information (loss of sales momentum, loss of current clients, still covered by insurance, lawsuits), why no acquisitions, are they still focused on acquisitions or spending more time developing AI products, is the person leading the AI strategy fit to lead it? At what point are buybacks considered despite the phenomenal ROI from acquisition.

Attention $OPEN army. I could not have been any more explicit and persistent in urging you to sell your $OPEN at 8 one year ago. You did not listen. Instead I was met with profane invective. They say revenge is a dish best served cold. It is indeed. The ridicule was loud. The analysis was weak. The result was decisive. Some arguments are best settled by the scoreboard. The media is complicit for promoting this garbage. The Noble Update has generated a long/short spread of 63% from selecting longs and shorts over the last year. I Check it out. You want performance? We got this. @natbrunell @philrosenn @APompliano @ericjackson @rabois @MebFaber @dayetweets @MarkNeuman18 @nejatian @piovincenzo_ @MollySOShea @shaneparrish @JonErlichman @Mindset4Money_X @cvpayne @SaraEisen @carlquintanilla @michaelsantoli @jonathanrstern
