*PALO ALTO'S ARORA EXPLORED ACQUIRING DATADOG: INFORMATION $DDOG currently a $80B company "Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora has never shied away from deals, acquiring more than 40 companies in the eight years since he took the helm of the world’s biggest standalone cybersecurity firm. But over the past 18 months, Arora’s appetite for acquisitions has reached a new fever pitch as he expanded the company’s products to handle new AI threats as well as capture more revenue from existing customers. For instance, he explored acquiring Datadog, which sells software that helps businesses identify security threats and monitor how cloud applications perform, and Okta, which helps companies ensure workers have access to the right systems, according to two people with knowledge of the situation."

@mihaljevic @Stephen1426397 Agreed on Under Armour $UA $UAA and possibly $LULU because of competition from Vuori and Alo. Really surprised that you also consider $ONON passé. I thought they were the in thing along with Hoka.

A lot of software stocks looking like juicy shorts again after this bounce. $XRO.ax makes no sense to my mind at the current valuation. $ASAN up 40% in 3 months despite being unprofitable and a likely AI victim. $BL is super expensive still for low growth. To name a few.

The $EUR.ax merger arb has a huge spread and is a pain in the ass to hedge. An interesting idea you can do here is buy October or November $7.5 puts, which hedge you for a small return for $CRML below $7.5, but still leave solid upside if it squeezes (which I think it might to
