Pizza decline favors Jersey Mike's IPO.

Pizza consumption in the West is declining as it is seen as an empty-calorie meal, creating an opening for sandwiches. Jersey Mike's, the fastest-growing fast food chain, is poised to capture this shift, making its upcoming IPO compelling.

Poker resurgence lifts beaten-down PokerStars owner.

Poker is set for a massive resurgence in the US because it is social, IRL, addictive, and not easily solved by GTO solvers in person. L Entertainment, which owns PokerStars, is a beaten-down stock that should benefit from this resurgence as people crave real-world social activities.

Apple's capex avoidance wins, buy.

Apple stock crushed today after the company wisely avoided massive AI capex, instead treating AI models as a commodity that can be plugged in when needed, a strategy now paying off.

Shaw is scam stock, avoid.

Shaw is a scam stock pumped by Leopold Ashen Brener, who accidentally bought 20% instead of 2%, signaling a local top. The stock is down significantly, and he is ready to cut his position with a 50% loss, advising avoidance.

HOOD decoupled from crypto downside, buy.

HOOD looks unbelievable because it has decoupled from crypto downside while still capturing crypto upside, acting as a best-of-both-worlds trade in the current market.

DCA Solana weekly for long-term gains.

Dollar-cost averaging Solana weekly from now until the end of the year is likely to be profitable over the next 12 months even if prices dip 20% short-term, because Solana fundamentals (apps, RWAs, memecoin volume, user metrics) are trending up and short-term volatility makes timing too difficult.
