New 52 week high for $GPRE...
Interesting opportunity today..... $ALTO should be following $GPRE higher shortly...... Ethanol market continues to operate in a goldilocks environment.
$NN Some commentators on this board believe satellite companies have no interest in buying NN 900 MHz spectrum. I think this NPRM for space part 15 for 900 MHz implies the exact opposite is true. I believe satellite companies will show strong interest in NN spectrum.
@vdoubleux1 $NN While we would to have the NPRM already, I understand the company is working with full force towards that goal. CEO has long history of successfully navigating FCC approval process. This is not her first rodeo. She did this for years while working for Charlie Ergen.
@vdoubleux1 $NN The company will and does take calls from investors. This management team has delivered on all fronts. Purchased Telesaurus at a fantastic price, had the FCC do the public comment, had the FCC issue NOI and submit NPRM to OIRA for approval. I think CEO and her team are great
@FriendlyCapMgmt @thecontracap there have been some things i view as negative for $ANAB and some that are positive. but in my view in order to make this investment you have to focus on the future cashflows, not the trial.
@cfrischer1 The use cases for satellite part 15 are extremely limited, & to suggest this is bad for $NN is silly. If there is interference or not is the only thing that matters whether on land or in space.
@zeroxkyle This (Indonesia $EIDO) is what an actual crisis looks like... not speculative froth getting washed out of a boom. https://t.co/ncNciDY8LS
$NN Claiming that this will hurt NN's chances for an NPRM are just silly, not based upon the facts and fear mongering by a short focuses analyst. In think it is clear that the FCC sees the 900 Mhz band as important spectrum and is setting fair rules for all participants.
$NN I would like to see the company come out in full support of this NPRM. I think they would send the message this is good for NN, the country and consumers. Patience is being required but will be rewarded at the end of the process.
$NN While there have been delays in approval, the value of the spectrum continues to rise everyday. NN owns a valuable asset and shareholders should likely be very happy at the end of the process.
$NN The FCC yesterday issued an NPRM to allow Part 15 devices to use the 900 Mhz band in space. Capstone claims this is bad news for NN. I think this is actually great news for NN. The FCC is looking to have an active 900 MHz band, including the NN spectrum.
$NN I suggest folks read the NPRM. It provides the same protections to Part 15 as they already have for terrestrial spectrum, no more, no less. NN is absolutely confident through the testing done to date that we don't create harmful interference. And we won't with satellite uses.
@sScCrRaAbBLLeE @snack8812 $NN Dell, I am still long and strong on NN. Clearly I wish we had made the blog this week, but I think we are still a priority of the FCC. Based upon what I know right now, I think we should be on the blog in the next month or two. I agree it has taken longer than we would like.
Daniel Loeb-esque activism at $CODI by @Adam_Wyden The review of the board members in the second half of the letter is quite something Full letter: https://t.co/l10bkeYPOp https://t.co/slHEIjmDmT
$NFLX incremental margins are 28%, down from 36% in Q1. Tech spend up 22%. Fastest growth in that opex line in many quarters. Incremental margins will improve in 2h, but beyond that, with more live events (expensive sports rights) and investment in short-form, on top of the usual long form scripted, I think there's risk to the pace of operating leverage going forward and thus investors will have less confidence in what has historically been a solid margin expansion story.

Various parts of the AI CAPEX trade ($MU, $SNDK, $COHR, $MRVL are down (-30%)-(-40%) in the past month, in what inning are we in for this sell-off?
Exceptional idiosyncratic short opportunities emerging from the on/off semi trade that is largely indiscriminately moving the markets and sectors each day. (been long opportunities that emerged too) Private credit exposed names have ripped off financial sector rotation and likely some short squeeze in heavily exposed names - names like $FG $MET $MFC (continue to tout these until their exposure is recognized by the market) Software - each name needs to be looked at on its own accord, the broad software is dead or alive from ai does not work. Big rally across the board has left more disrupted names like $PCTY and $PAYC up for the year now. Plenty of others that look good to build sort positions against (especially if you have long software/dats service provider exposure) Dispersion past quarter should set up some very interesting opportunities that should have to stand on their own fundamentals when earnings come
ASML’s 2Q’26 commentary signals a shift from measured pricing toward flexing its chip-equipment pricing power.
Alpha where you least expect it... Over the past 3-months the FURNITURE space has delivered monster upside relative to the indices. Many of these legacy companies have pristine balance sheets, generate cash, and continue to modestly grow their order books despite the ongoing weakness in housing. These stocks in some cases were trading at close to zero EV ($BSET, $ETD) when including their real estate holdings. They remain cheap and have tons of earnings leverage to a housing upturn. 3-month returns: $BSET 47.7% $BOBS 30.8% $HOFT 17.5% $WSM 17.2% $LZB 14.7% $HVT 13.3% $SPX 6.4%
Funny to look back and see that my initial take on the $NLOP spinoff was negative. If anything, initial revulsion indicates that a spin might have a substantial edge - particularly if lots of stock is put in the hands of weak holders and forced sellers, as occurred with NLOP.
Jorey is sizing up ahead of what mgmt has called a "hockey stick" 2H on the back of production orders scaling on at least two key PORs. $MOB https://t.co/5qF3GZFcFZ
