Gaslighting how $RNG talks about cash flow but ignore the 240m in SBC (roughly 40% of that number). Talking 22-23x cash flow at the implied open. 85x roughly gap eps numbers....for a business that has inflected from 5.5 to 6% growth this year.....They can talk AI and % of ARR abut at the end of it the total impact is having a marginal move on the business. They did some nice work to clean up some costs and get profitability to true gap levels. But that was from bloated application days and low hanging fruit. Thats the move from 14-40. Very difficult for this math of fundamentally make sense from hereat these levels.

Pretty crazy Reuters piece on the global selloff. - October 22 marked the 1st time since the COVID crash that long/short, systematic, and multi-strategy hedge funds tracked by Goldman Sachs ALL lost more than 1% in a single day. - Tech-focused hedge funds: down ~10% in October - Asia-focused hedge funds: down ~9% in October There’s separate interviews where Citadel/JP Morgan have been saying retail has been the ones buying the dip in semiconductor, neocloud, and memory stocks. And the stocks bought by most retail were $NBIS, $SNDK, and $TSM. Reuters stated this downturn triggered institutional deleveraging events among hedge funds. Quite the divergence, I do think there’s been a ton of irrational selling now, hedge fund deleveraging seems to be a major contributor.
