Few interesting tidbits this week: Atlanta tracker 2.5%, productivity 2.4%, weekly claims in check at 226K & "weak" ISM still 50+. EPS growth running +10% growth. Keep line of site. Have always thought Amy Winehouse ahead of her time with her voice - You know I'm no good

$WFC: Good to be Charlie Scharf. Received a large equity award consisting of $30M in restricted shares and 1.05M options priced at $82.65. It's the first time the company has handed out options since 2013. Nice incentive to drive better co performance.

Went on AI. Something I’ve said for a while: Weekly jobless claims are generally considered a leading indicator of the labor market, while nonfarm payroll numbers are a coincident indicator. Weeklies have been coming down to 221K last 4 weeks. Just saying.

Markets didn't have a good week but remember $SPX is up 25% from the April lows. Aug/Sept seasonally challenging but after that 4Q set up is well. EPS are beating x eventually that will matter. Enjoy Julia Michaels - Try your luck

$PANW: the $CYBR deal does a few things - increases the TAM by $60B, the ARR exposure/ growth and gives them more to offer to their customers. The 10% sell off is some arb action but an opportunity imho. @nikesharora

$UNH kitchen sinks 2025 at $16/sh - but a throw away year. The 2026 “return to growth” commentary might be enough for a very washed out stock and new/proven CEO.
