Think signal value for $NN is very high here. Ajit Pai, Brendan Carr’s mentor at the FCC, is Pres and CEO of CTIA. Execs from $VZ and $T are chair and vice chair. Unlikely they put Mariam on the board unless $NN future is bright. 💯% Pai knows what is happening behind FCC doors. https://t.co/4Jtm3aiAf9

#Southeast Asia Logistics Where there used to be dozens of players, now there's just two that matter - Shopee Express, and J&T (>60% combined market share). In a high fixed cost business, Scale > Order Density (across both Geography x Time) > Lowest Cost per Parcel = Competitive Moat. Parcel delivery cost has declined -45% over 4 years. h/t @momentumasia. $SE $1519.HK

Continuation vehicles were a big thing in '25 as many private equity firms struggled to find exits for portcos. But they're not new. In '21, Platinum Equity dumped its portco United Site Services into a CV invested in by Fortress, $ARES & $BX. How'd that turn out? Well, sheeyit.

So $LULU finally fires CEO, which is why the stock is up. I get that. We've been making the 'fire Calvin' call for over a year. But what the market misses here is that new CEO will have to re-base numbers by at least 30%. That sends the stock closer to $100. We shorted it at $470, and are staying put.

@UnHedgedChatter @InvestSpecial @Wexboy_Value $AS, owner of Arc'teryx & 9 other brands trades at more than 3x sales. $CLAR, which would fit perfectly into AS's portfolio trades at less than 0.5x sales and is exploring strategic alts. 🤷‍♂️

Interesting framing for $NN. $95 is pretty far above my upside case, but agree the $T / FirstNet arrangement is interesting context, despite some obvious differences. https://t.co/b3FsHVkivk
