@310Value You don’t like the long $CWST / short $GFL pair trade? Nothing like shorting a live take-private situation to hedge an activist margin improvement story.

The end customer is mostly softare companies. $IGV is flat since 2 years, and I've been thinking to shrug and short this thing recently. Is AI actually good for the end customer overall or not? If not, bubble seems probable at least short term - at least until there are a lot more *big* end customers. Which I think sure there will be, just in 10+ years.
