I agree with buybacks when the bank is trading at a significant discount to book, and they have excess capital like $BCS over the last few years buying back stock at 45% of tangible.

The longer I follow banks the more anti-buyback I become. I own $FCNCA and the sell-side is calling for a buyback catalyst this year. I rather they hold the capital to make loans and/or scoop up troubled banks.

Haha! If $LULU was smart it would shut down its footwear business. It has no business being there! Several more guide downs to come here… https://t.co/1lhthueM2j

How anyone could actually RAISE a price target after this $LULU print is a complete mystery to me. Thanks for showing up #OldWall. I won't touch this stock long side until it starts with a 1. Presentation detailing why at 12:30ET today. #ShortLULU

Better print from $LULU than expected. But the rate of change in comps globally was terrible. Margins sequentially decelerated. Black Book presentation TOMORROW at 12:30pm ET where @HedgeyeRetailRW and I will bring the heat -- diving into LULU's cycles, and key profit centers. Ultimately, will drill down on whether you want to buy here, or press the short and will give the analytical framework as to why.
