In his San Diego show last night, @mulaney.bsky.social pulled no punches in his hilariously brutal RFK bit.

The conviction in this market is as strong as the brick wall on the side of my house, which is leaning so badly to one side that I’m surprised it hasn’t caught the eye of the prediction markets. My latest… www.herbgreenberg.com/p/weekly-wra...

This image from @theinformation.com .... a picture really IS worth a thousand words.

Yeah, confirmation bias because you did TOO much research. It was a key risk a bull in Turning Point Brands $TPB gave in this interview when I asked him what some of the top risks were. Rare to hear people use that one. herbgreenberg.substack.com/p/video-extr...

Ever get that feeling that it's all coming to a head? The "all" is 🤔... interpret at will.

I don't have a podcast. Or a show. Or anything regular. But I did this, w/someone not on the podcast circuit. Talked short-selling in this market, digging into a short-seller's long thesis, and a candid discussion of the risks, including one you never hear. Enjoy. youtu.be/cmmiPWnRHWU

Regarding this splashy new $14.2b CoreWeave/Meta deal: Yippee-yi-yo, ki-yay! Just one problem - no mention of price or terms in what is merely an extension of a 2023 contract. As one friend quips, Wall Street is morphing from watching ARR to RPOs. Just the headlines, ma'am, not the facts.

From my latest, regarding this market and what I call “the trillion dollar question”… "It’s not just the markets that can be humbling. So can hubris. We’re in that phase. Time to rev up the ole' Hostile React-O-Meter™." www.herbgreenberg.com/herb-greenbe...

I've flushed out my thoughts on this short-termism focus. In the end, it's just another convenient excuse. www.herbgreenberg.com/herb-greenbe...

Tweet Reporting quarterly is a good thing. The issue is guidance, short OR long-term. THAT'S what creates the short-term volatility as the algo's and everybody else play to THAT, and companies kowtow to the "meet or beat" game.

Debt, imagine that.

In the old days I'd say this is a palpable moment, but I guess this ain't the old days.

At the risk of plagiarizing myself: "The new wild card, after all, is the parlor game of which company the government – deficit notwithstanding – will invest in next? And if not the government – there’s always Softbank. What a world!" www.herbgreenberg.com/herb-greenbe...

Crypto businesses are growing, esp stablecoin issuers and “bitcoin treasury” firms with few barriers now to IPO. One is finding a PCAOB registered auditor. Which firms are taking on this challenge and how will a weak PCAOB and much smaller SEC provide oversight? thedig.substack.com/p/hold-stead...

Some folks wonder why I'd red flag a company like $UPS, whose stock has been pummeled and pays a 7.5% divvy, rather than some of the egregious high-fliers. Well, because many of them are fantasy and this is real. My latest (free preview) www.herbgreenberg.com/herb-greenbe...

The Billy Joel doc is great. Biggest complaint is that the songs are now stuck in my head... especially, for some weird reason, New York State of Mind. At this moment, that is... they keep rotating.

That's one way to keep the story in the headlines!

They're scraping the bottom of the barrel. $BYND in there, too.

Maybe I missed something here, but with so many Rite Aids closing, how is CVS not getting a big (albeit temporary) tail wind? Where I live in San Diego, 2 Rite Aids are gone... and both transferred their scripts to the same CVS.

You can write something, read it 1,000 times, and have it copy read and STILL miss that you spelled Rod Stewart Rod Sewart. Google Docs didn't catch it, either. Human at work. Enjoy. www.herbgreenberg.com/p/the-perfec...

Last I looked raspberries and strawberries were red. So... why would they need artificial colors? Now, if they could reduce the sodium, but alas... I'm in the minority on that one.
