A director at $GME Nat Turner just bought $254k of stock in the open market. This is an extremely bullish buy as Nat Turner is the CEO of collectibles which owns PSA, the largest trading card authentication company in the world. There is something massive brewing here. https://t.co/AXJFmqanhN

@aurelius28 @fundingregime $CHTR comparison doesn't make much sense imo. CHTR faces massively increased competition, high (detrimental) margins, no sticky contracts+capital intensive. Debt would take a decade to pay off if status quo. FIS could pay off its debt in ~5-6 years, changes are glacial.

$LITE CEO: "Next year with the advent of CPO and NPO in 2027, our estimates are that we'll be undershipping demand... By 70%. Literally 70%. So we can only supply 30%. And this has caught us by supply. By 2029-2030, we get to some level of balance."

@stepnotonpets And each layer already has a competitor. Pilz and $ROK sell SIL 3 wired safety controllers, and Scanreco says it's shipped 700,000+ SIL 3 remotes vs FORT's 19,500+ units. But neither's built wireless stops managed across a mixed fleet like $NTWO.

On timber companies $RYN and $WY. If the long end keeps going up. 6-7% which I think is definitely possible. Then timber companies will get crushed. But my overall thesis remains and is happening in real time: energy-driven inflation, fiscal deterioration, failed treasury buybacks, the Fed losing the long end. Right now the market is repricing duration before it reprices scarcity. This gap can run for decades. Equities were destroyed in real terms through 1973 and 1974. But hard assets won the decade. I’m praying both of these timber companies keep going down. Land is my favorite asset to own. You can see it. You can touch it. You can hunt on it. You can fish on it. And you can grow productive timber on it. Huge swaths of land have massive optionality. Let’s hope Scott “I am the house” Bessent continues to lose the bond market. I want to see a bloodbath here.
