$WDFC results are staggering when you read through them....then you get to the guidance and it does not reflect the monstrous quarter they just posted (relatively the same as the guide from Q1)....something is off with this company, they are either one of the worst non micro cap companies at forecasting their business (not a great endorsement of management and their processes). AND/OR they are playing games with inventory to influence the stock. I will reserve my own comments for private, but if you look back in recent years there are some odd swings in Asian /Chinese inventories in given quarters. Fascinated how a product that has been around forever with wide distribution posts a +30% print in Americas, 24% company wide. And the guide moves from 5-9% to 6-9% growth for the year?? What is going on?

Excited to see Elroy Air going public via SPAC with $CMII / $IPXG… Elroy has developed a hybrid-electric, autonomous VTOL aircraft called Chaparral that has both military and defense applications. We have invested in multiple rounds at Elroy, starting with their seed in 2018. Here’s the deck on Elroy: https://t.co/iRRILU5JFk https://t.co/dUaH1EKf4K

Is $NRP a gift at <$100? Appears that way if you can own an MLP. A good/great royalty business that: became over-leveraged, rapidly paid down debt from CFFO, trades at a high teens FCF yield. Potentially feeding the soda ash JV for a bit longer…Long.

@sidecarcap Understand this view if you're new, but Smith has been off-course for five years now. I got worried back in fall 2021 when he bought $AMZN at the dead top right after saying for a decade that he'd never buy Amazon because it was low-margin. He sold it in '23 for a 40% loss.
