Donohoe talking about the WNBA. That's kind of what he is, the WNBA of CEOs. $NKE

How the Nike $NKE board does not fire Donahoe is a complete mystery to me. The guy's gone in April 2025 anyway when his contract is up. But end it already. Bring back Mark Parker, Eric Sprunk, or Elliott Hill. Shit, bring back ALL of them! Any of those guys will make this a $120 stock on a simple press release.

$NKE beat, but company 'revising' FY25 guide. And giving no detail on that until the call at 5pm. People are pinging me assuming a $3 EPS number. Just making stuff up. I'll go on record in saying that NKE will end up earnings better than where the consensus started in the first place. NKE internal forecast accuracy is horrendous.

I have yet to come in contact with anyone who says anything other than '$NKE is gonna puke the quarter and guide down." The volatility after this Nike print skews to the upside. The 12-month risk reward is money with this stock under $100.

@Mike10947310 $CVGW Sources >90% of its avocados from Michoacan, MX. $CMG purchases ~10% of tot US avocados. Its latest ESG report noted “diversifying away from Mexican suppliers.” This latest drama down there will almost certainly accelerate sourcing away from $CVGW, etc.

I strongly disagree with buybacks like $TFC has telegraphed. Truist trades above book value, and they only have excess capital because they sold one of their crown jewels (insurance brokerage biz). Truist should hold excess capital until we get through this credit cycle.

I agree with buybacks when the bank is trading at a significant discount to book, and they have excess capital like $BCS over the last few years buying back stock at 45% of tangible.

The longer I follow banks the more anti-buyback I become. I own $FCNCA and the sell-side is calling for a buyback catalyst this year. I rather they hold the capital to make loans and/or scoop up troubled banks.
