@RockwoodNotes @loneelmcapital Love the equity yield curve mental model, grows more and more relevant daily. Your $OMC thesis is they are insulated from AI because they have become akin to a warehouse of ad data? Dispensing it and holding it and tracking it for a fee. Thoroughly enjoy your content

3/n $HOOD CEO @vladtenev on @NoPriorsPod This is the most innovative brokerage by far; expanding ownership (incl via tokenization); also math/math models, origin story
Colin King on X
What an interesting question... is there a repeatable "tough industry" playbook which creates value over time? $DDS is a share cannibal with an ugly looking revenue picture (no growth from 1998-2026 / declining)
Lee Roach on X
Just got a Pokemon rip offer in the Dunkin Donuts app. $GME is a sleeping giant.
