Good to see someone paying attention on life insurers from Bloomberg today. Private Credit and certain life insurers are deeply linked - $MET, Lincoln are just the tip of the sphere I would add https://t.co/Vcyt0RFlT1 and certain regional banks like $WAL in that mix too. *and sure 95% of all your pc loans are credit grade MetLife, can I ask how many were rated by Egan Jones?*

Anybody see this run in $WNC? crazy, gone from serious balance sheet risk to the fastest trade in the market. Company commented they might get to a replacement market next year (versus years of tough order books) and the commerce ruling on dumping from china that will put tariffs on Chinese suppliers (maybe 20% of the market?) should help those 27' numbers. But issues remain in what is a pretty poor business when the dominant industry player fluctuates on bankruptcy each cycle.

Assume you have seen it, but $MHGU CEO 5/19/26 presentation is solid. They will get a EBITDA boost from being allowed to close poor locations, breakfast opt-out, and $7.3M G&A cuts. If new WEN mgt does its job, MHGU could end up a rocket ship. Less liquid/risky/trades OTC, but I own a bit - potential upside dwarfs current share price, IMO.

Good question. As I mentioned, all of my checks suggest they're gaining wallet share with small businesses at the expense of $GOOG. There are other big issues around regulatory recourse, stalling user growth in an increasing number of markets, and of course capital allocation. The multiple reflects the magnitude of unknowns or lack of visibility. Changing that to some degree would be a start.

$META probably can serve more tactical ads if you know exactly what each user is willing to put money on (aka is paying attention to) in the moment! https://t.co/9DnpLAIS4i

@waterboystocks DPZ looks interesting, but I have pizza covered with little Pizza Inn $RAVE. 100% franchised, zero debt, cash ~25% of market cap, potential for turnaround to transform into growth story next 1-2 years.

Per @HedgeyeHC $PFE has been asleep at the switch. Was this really the best pedigree to go after for $NKE? The existing talent (Regional CFOs) that were passed over for the CFO role are gonna be pissed...While they're at it, gotta replace IR. It's part of the problem. https://t.co/FIPFTrZrd9

$NKE fires CFO -- can I get an Amen??? Dude's forecast accuracy was simply horrible. New CFO from $PFE. Does not change that Nike is about to go into the biggest investment cycle in its history. It will likely pay off -- but not for 3-5 years. Until then it will continue to ceede share. Still Short NKE.
