Thank you for the shoutout Matt! Glad I could be of help at the start of your journey here on X. You are generous with your work and I can see why you reached the 10K milestone so quickly. We love all our podcast guests but you and @ProfPaulNary were such a joy to have on. I still share that episode where we discussed Under Armour $UA with folks.

Yes these Celsius $CELH purchases certainly stood out when we were looking at insider buys this week. They were also buying at similar prices in May. Although those Nov 2025 purchases by the same director that was buying this week (Hal Kravitz) and by their COO were not timed well. Kravitz was previously a Coca Cola executive and has been on Celsius' board for over 10 years. We usually like to see opportunistic insider purchases by independent directors with long tenure on the board.

*WESTINGHOUSE SAID TO SEEK OVER $50 BILLION VALUATION IN US IPO $CCJ owns 49% of Westinghouse. $BEP owns the rest Nuclear has totally fallen off the radar this year. Shitco’s like OKLO and SMR flew the theme too close to the sun and rightfully tanked. Maybe Westinghouse IPO brings the nuclear / uranium trade back

I see this a lot in the investing business. For example, the young fiery aggressive fund managers of the 1990s, who called out dishonest bad management, are now behaving like the companies they used to vicisouly attack. Stuff like $GLRE or $HHH.

Could see $JACK, $WEN, $PZZA all go bankrupt. Probably others across the QSR space (subway, Pizza Hut some of the more challenged private operators) -- to be fair some of these could get acquired too but interesting how that would play through commercial real estate and impact the non distressed survivors -- very challenging space with prices having soared (affordability) and consumers pushing back or finding better/comparable value at a Chili's etc. Freight costs (diesel and trucker shortage from policy moves) and food costs that are/will escalate (freight and commodities) is going to bring new challenges to margins. Menu prices likely need to reset lower across many of these chains but that is a very difficult process for owners and franchises to accomplish especially while input costs continue to rise. GLP1s hurt overall volume trends as well but......look out to automation/robotics in store and how trends tend to switch back to QSR/fast food in a more stressed economic condition there might be select opportunities in the coming months for a few players as prices have/are resetting fast across tis space
