I haven’t had this much (negative) engagement with a short idea since I pitched $ASTS back in January around $90 per share ($36 today). Are there really that many retail folks long $SPCX, or are these just bots?
Mikro Kap David on X
What's stopping $WSTL (former holding) from returning some cash to shareholders? They were doing so well on the buyback front in late 2024 and early 2025. At this rate, people will mistake it for a 🇯🇵 co, with $40M+ in net cash against a $65M market cap.
Calvin Blissett on X
Munger misses things, Malone is worth learning from and anyone would’ve been lucky to hitch their wagon along to the TCI ride. He also missed $CACC. He did call Valeant though using the same framework. He’s been much more right than wrong which is what matters

record pawn loans...an early sign of financial distress for lower-income Americans? $EZPW
Mikro Kap David on X
"As has always been the case, we would rather pass on a loan than make one we are not comfortable with." ~no bank ever Jk...from Q3 $TYBT letter
Cluseau Investments on X
$MRX has some form of financial bipolar disorder. Up or down $4 regularly with zero news
