CFO change and rapid insider selling at $CACC ....could not begin to understand why the stock is up 20% in the past two weeks and nearly 50% ytd. Tougher float dynamics then you would want to see for a short but sure is tempting up here

@thewritser @CapitalShipyard At first glance that is the worst structured rights offering I have seen in quite awhile. Great for the group backstopping it. $MCDIF

Bought a bunch of $CMCSA on this fade back to around $25. While it will take around a year to breakup the business (and they don’t plan to buyback stock during this time), separating media/theme parks from cable should be very accretive to the valuation.

@RealJimChanos When a 40 year old analyst at Pershing has a stake in $PS worth $1 bn, not only does it tell me that $PS is overvalued, but it also confirms how horrible Ackman's judgment is in allocating such a large percentage of the firm to a well coiffed colleague without any track record.

crazy moves both directions over the past month away from AI... $GOLF +30% has got my attention. 30x next years numbers for a low single digit retailer seems odd.

How strong is the momentum factor? Maybe more than you think. This post was prompted by a data point referenced by Sebastian Page at @TRowePrice this AM on @BloombergTV. Sebastian pointed out that if you simply bought the TEN best performing stocks from the previous 12-months at the start of each month and repeated that process every month, you would have outperformed the market by 40% ANNUALLY for the past 3-years. That's stunning. Here's a visual that underscores the point. Since September 2023, the @InvescoUS S&P 500 momentum ETF ($SPMO) has outperformed the S&P 500 by 100%! That has NEVER happened before. The $SPMO is only recalibrated TWICE a year and has 100 positions, but it still has captured the momentum factor driving price action in this market. Today the $SPMO is up 3%+ in large part because of its 11% weighting in $MU. One thing is clear: these "alligator jaws" in the chart below WILL close. For now as @todd_harrison says, you don't get to trade the market you want, just the one you have....
@jonathanmaze Thanks for the insight! I don't live near a Caseys so could not conduct my own taste test but was overlaying wingstop locations on top of Caseys yesterday thinking this could be a growing problem for $WING especially undercut on $
$APTL is a tiny HIGHLY ILLIQUID OTC nano-cap that consists of two businesses that serve lower Alaska (essentially the tail of Alaska that extends toward lower British Columbia): 1) an electric utility and 2) a regional telco. These businesses generate $25 million of EBITDA and in my view the stock price in the low 80s reflects a discounted valuation on these two very stable assets. However, there is a third asset that could potentially be worth MULTIPLES of the current stock price that investors are essentially getting for free: Sealink Networks, which has the only approved landing zone for subsea cables in the state of Washington in a city called Westport. There are other landing zones in the lower 48, primarily in Oregon and Northern California, which provide connectivity to the Far East. The Westport landing spot will have capacity for six subsea cables. One cable will connect Western Washington to APTL's assets in lower Alaska, and could also serve other telcos in Alaska. The other five cables are currently being marketed to HYPERSCALER CLIENTS (i.e., Amazon, Microsoft, Google, etc.). The terms of these contracts are unknown, but my suspicion is that they will be 20-30 year contracts matching the useful life of the cables. When you have multiple trillion dollar companies competing for a scarce asset, you could easily see them paying literally any amount reasonable for this Far East conduit. I have no idea what APTL will be able to charge for these, but could it be $10 mm per line? $100 mm? APTL's market cap right now is ~$70mm. The company's recent buyback action is VERY TELLING: They just bought back ~250k shares by forcing retirements of retired employees in the pension plan and also have a deferred buyback of ~140k shares from an exiting shareholder (1/3 done, the other 2/3 over the next two years). Between the two transactions, this represents a 30% reduction in the share count! Because the company has a large ESOP ownership, they are required to put out an annual valuation. While I do not know for sure, the company's most recent valuation is ~$90/share and while I'm not sure I do not believe there is any real valuation in that number for the Westport landing spot. In conclusion, I don't know if the stock is worth $90, $190, $290, $390/share, etc. Ultimately it comes down to whether $APTL just happens to be at the perfect place at the perfect time. Do they succeed in convincing someone at Microsoft or Google to pay a nine figure rounding error to APTL? Or does APTL drop the ball and leave a lot of money on the table? It's anyone's guess. This is my favorite idea right now. But be very careful as the float here is small and the stock is very illiquid. I haven't seen anyone write anything on this and I think its just a matter of time before they announce a contract and there is more attention and focus on the name.
