Attention $OPEN army. I could not have been any more explicit and persistent in urging you to sell your $OPEN at 8 one year ago. You did not listen. Instead I was met with profane invective. They say revenge is a dish best served cold. It is indeed. The ridicule was loud. The analysis was weak. The result was decisive. Some arguments are best settled by the scoreboard. The media is complicit for promoting this garbage. The Noble Update has generated a long/short spread of 63% from selecting longs and shorts over the last year. I Check it out. You want performance? We got this. @natbrunell @philrosenn @APompliano @ericjackson @rabois @MebFaber @dayetweets @MarkNeuman18 @nejatian @piovincenzo_ @MollySOShea @shaneparrish @JonErlichman @Mindset4Money_X @cvpayne @SaraEisen @carlquintanilla @michaelsantoli @jonathanrstern

I tried to work out who’s behind the AI data labeling companies that approached Nubeva Technologies $NBVAF (TSXV: $NBVA). CEO Randy Chou didn’t name the data labeling companies (firms that turn experts’ knowledge into training data for AI labs) or the customers behind them. “If a data labeling company’s coming to us, somebody behind them is asking,” Chou said, adding that the customer typically isn’t limited to cybersecurity companies. OpenAI is one potential candidate, since my previous write-up concluded that the frontier model Nubeva got access to in September was most likely OpenAI’s, through its Daybreak program for vetted defenders. OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra on September 3, 2026, the day Nubeva announced its access. It’s the first model OpenAI rated Critical for cybersecurity capability. But access to OpenAI’s model wouldn’t prove OpenAI is also behind the data labeling companies, since any lab building cyber models could want labeled malware. Among data labeling companies, three of the largest are publicly recruiting or selling binary analysis expertise, the skill of figuring out what malware programs do: → Scale AI: Its product manager posting calls the cybersecurity portfolio “a product line that does not exist yet” and says the hire will recruit “malware analysts.” → Turing: Sells CyberBench, security tasks for training and testing frontier models, with malware analysis and reverse engineering among its ten categories. TechCrunch called Turing “a key coding provider for OpenAI” in March 2025. → Mercor: Recruits security experts, preferring reverse engineering or binary analysis backgrounds, and counts OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta $META as customers. OpenAI cut ties with Scale in June 2025, after Meta bought 49% of Scale and hired its founder, Alexandr Wang. So if OpenAI is behind the approach, Turing and Mercor are the likeliest data labeling companies, since both sell to OpenAI and already sell or buy binary analysis expertise. Either way, these data labeling companies are worth $2.2-29B, so even Turing, the smallest, could pay the top of my $12-19M sale range for Nubeva for less than 1% of its last valuation.

A small but interesting one. Bombe AM disclosed a small stake in Mobile Infrastructure $BEEP and is thinking about taking BEEP private. The Chairman and CEO, Manuel Chavez, and the CEO, Stephanie Hogue, are Bombe partners. No price has been offered yet, as Bombe wants due diligence on property performance, capital needs, and capital structure before setting a premium (not our words). BEEP owns and operates parking lots. Shares have been under pressure as earnings don't cover interest expenses. The thing is now trading at roughly 0.5x book, and it looks like their parking lots are being aggressively amortized on the books.
