When investors are running victory laps, posting all-time-high portfolio screenshots, you know it is time be prudent.

Don’t follow the hype train, stay grounded in fundamentals.

UPDATE: We recently posted a report on a purchase of Amphenol stock by Representative Byron Donalds.

It caught our attention because we'd never seen him trade the stock before.

They released a strong earnings report right after his trade.

$APH has now risen 89% since. https://t.co/Pt8Hpfz1of

The Lost Kitten!

Prompt: In one continuous shot, a 200-foot calico kitten walks down a city street as people run away. The camera rises higher, past rooftops and circling helicopters, until the city grid unfolds below. At the end, the cat meows cutely, curious and innocent. https://t.co/R0gyK6SBr1 - Umesh

wtf is going on here lol

Yes, we are responsible for this billboard.
 
Cracker Barrel's board has failed its shareholders. It has spent over a decade fighting with one of its largest shareholders rather than collaborating for the good of the company. CB has been at the forefront of the DEI movement at the same time it has reduced food quality and burned millions on failed acquisitions. The board apparently has more regard for DEI than ROI. 
 
Now, we are running a proxy contest at our own expense to fire the CEO. Biglari is doing the work left undone by the board.  
 
Fire the CEO!

Prompt : the camera cranes over the mountain rim to a sheer cliff ; the lone rider speeds his motorcycle forward, the launching into the void; he soars above the abyss as the camera tilts with him, sky and ocean colliding below, then the bike goes down first in freefall while the hero dives slowly and then, a parachute snapping open against the roaring backdrop of stone and sea.
