@andrewcoye @chrisvirnig @DeepSailCapital Aggregate change among all 5% owners within three years. So not thousands. For $BIRD the Class B founding shares are more than three years old so they drop off, it is change for FMR, Ghost Angel, Vanguard, Blackrock plus any grants to B holders in last 3 yrs.

So PaperClip (expert: $PCPJ) issues an important press release but somehow it ends up under an incorrect ticker for China Dongsheng. Do they not realize they can correct these things? https://t.co/pULXthDnYq

@endless_frank @AST_SpaceMobile Hi - no position but have been following along. How do you think about the advantages that SpaceX and $AMZN have in terms of name recognition, distribution, and cost of capital? How do you think about pricing in a 3 player market? Is it a race to the bottom out of the gate? TYIA

$RENT is a timely example of point #3: Stock up 25% in the morning on a strong beat in 4Q, little analyst coverage. The stock now is down 15%, that is a 40% move. I shorted a bit more at some point today when it was still up 10% or so. The fundamentals, the quality of its revenue growth is worsening and outlook is bad. The company needs to spend a significant amount on inventory, a hidden cost not on the income statement but rather depreciates through COGS overtime instead and is not even visible in any given quarter as a large loss. If they don't replenish inventory, customer satisfaction will likely deteriorate. They are planning to spend less on inventory and yet they are still guiding to margin deterioration in 2026.
