Matt - Dividends & Options

OPEN THE F**CKING STOCK MARKET ALREADY!

@KobeissiLetter Wall Street is crushing wall street. Dont like 80% of all fund managers underperform the S&P? I.e. it takes literally no skills to crush wall street.

Retail investors are crushing Wall Street: Stocks most favored by retail investors outperformed those most favored by mutual funds by 16 percentage points in May, the largest gap since data began in 2018. The retail favorite stock basket covers mega-cap tech names, including the Magnificent 7 and semiconductor stocks. This follows a 14-point outperformance seen in April, making it the 2-month largest gap on record. This also exceeds the previous 13 percentage point record seen in late 2020, during the early stages of the meme stock mania. Meanwhile, the total amount of money spent on semiconductor options contracts by retail investors is up to 4.9 TIMES the historical monthly average, the highest on record. This is also ~25% above the prior record set in March 2024. Retail investors are loving this market.

@StockWorthyApp SpaceX, then merge with Tesla. And its back!

Who should replace the imposter? $AVGO $TSM $AMD Or another company (comment below)

@Lars_Andersen1 Thanks for sharing. Interesting take!

@Dutchformula Tape looks stretched for $$RKLB. Breakout still matters, but if buyers can't hold, it turns into a fade. More on that here: orion.aiwork.app/theme/4dab9c66…

Here’s a mind blowing comparison: The Revenue Multiple (Valuation ÷ Revenue) for $RKLB is higher than that of $SPCX Revenue Multiples: RKLB 122x SPCX 101x So is Rocket Labs extremely overvalued, SpaceX undervalued, or is something else going on here?

Tomorrow $NKE has its ex-dividend day. Dividend $0,41 (Unch QoQ. +0,01$ YoY) Nike is up more than 10% in the last few weeks, the ex-div day might give it a local top here.

@DeItaone The whole world rn

IRAN'S TOP NEGOTIATOR QALIBAF: NO AGREEMENT WILL BE ACCEPTED UNTIL THE NATION'S RIGHTS ARE SECURED - IRNA

@FirstSquawk I feel like they respawn though. Everytime they kill some. They just respawn back at base and off they go.

Netanyahu: In the past month alone, we killed 700 elements of Hezbollah.

@FirstSquawk The Brits already invented this in WW2 when they used the wings of their spitfires to 'topple' a V1 flying bomb. Cheap and effective.

The U.S. Has Found a Way to Down a Drone Without Spending $1 Million-WSJ

Playbook this week: War: market down 0.5% Peace deal signed "Shortly": market up 2% Imma go 3 days of peace deals, 2 days of war. What do you guys think?

@KobeissiLetter It also marks the 93th time he changed his mind on the deal.

BREAKING: President Trump says he is "in no hurry" to make a deal with Iran and "if we don't get what we want, we are going to end it in a different way." Last weekend, President Trump said a deal was going to be announced "shortly." Today marks 93 days since the Iran War began.

Its a valid argument. What i think is missing (and I'm European so cut me some slack) is the question of simply owning the best stuff. The F35 is vastly superior to the Gripen. As you correctly point out it will be in service 40+ years. Dont you want the hottest shit available? Would be a great look if some foreign enemy starts paying you a visit and the Gripen is outclassed. "At least we didn't give our money to the Americans, so we could've had the best plane. haha!" Seems strange.

This is the problem with the “just honour the F-35 contract” argument: it admits Canada is being boxed in. If cancelling or reducing the order means lawsuits, lost Canadian work, and Washington vetoing a Swedish jet’s engine, then the issue is not “politics.” It is sovereignty. Yes, Canada signed an F-35 agreement in 2023. Yes, the RCAF prefers one fleet. But a procurement choice that can be enforced through U.S. legal, industrial, and export-control pressure is exactly why Canadians are asking whether total dependence on one American platform is wise. Also, the Colombia claim is not settled the way it’s being presented. Saab announced a signed Gripen contract with Colombia in November 2025, so saying a U.S. veto “killed the deal” is, at minimum, not proven. Canada should not buy Gripen because it is anti-American. Canada should examine Gripen because sovereign sustainment, industrial control, Arctic availability, and political risk matter over a 40-year fighter program. The question is not whether the F-35 is capable. It is. The question is whether Canada wants its entire fighter force dependent on a country currently using pressure tactics to shape our defence procurement.

I’m told, the USG has made it clear that if the CDN gov reneges on the contract signed by the Trudeau gov in Jan 2023 to purchase 88 x F35A’s in 4 batches, in order to buy a number of Gripen E’s, then 3 things will happen quickly. 1. LM with the full backing of the USG will launch a lawsuit to recover lost funds. When the Chrétien gov did the same thing with EH101 purchase, the CDN gov paid AgustaWestland nearly $1 billion in compensation. 2. CDN based businesses that exist solely to provide various components for the 3 variants of the F35 will have their future parts orders cut by 50%. This will cost them roughly $1.5 billion in revenue. 3. The USG will notify Saab & the Gov of Canada, that they will veto the export permit for the GE F414 engine, making any sale of the Gripen E to Canada impossible. The Biden admin, threatened this when the sale of the Gripen E to Columbia was announced, the Trump admin followed through with the threat & formally vetoed the use of the engine, which killed the deal. When the Columbia challenge occurred Saab engineers looked at the cost of using a Rolls Royce engine & concluded it would add $3-5 million USD to the flyaway cost to each Gripen E & add 5-8 years to the delivery timeframe while the airframe was modified & new testing & certification was completed. Last point, the RCAF has made clear their position, 1 fighter jet & the best option is the F35A, why exactly should short term politics play a roll in a $20 billion dollar purchase that will not be finalized until long after Trump is not just out of office but likely deceased. Perhaps they should just honour the contract they signed just 3 years ago & as recommended by the very people who risk their lives using the aircraft, no?

Every European investor wants to build a dividend portfolio. What most forget is the 'European' part - not just copying US strategies or chasing yield, but understanding the tax drag, ETF restrictions, and structural differences that actually shape your returns. If you want real financial independence, understand your own system first.

@ColesTrades Tomorrow

What’s the reason you’re investing right now?

@ducksays Aside from the gif. Kinda pointless exercise this. Is your income 2k or 200k a month.

my total debt at 28 years old: mortgage 1 - 162k mortgage 2 - 387k wife's car - 2k how am i doin?

@WatcherGuru Dont people. Like US Gov't officials work there? Isn't it their literal job to make sure the gold is there? Dont they audit it every single day?

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 President says it's "time to audit" Fort Knox's $667 billion gold reserves.

@asianinvestors Ironically. From a revenue point of view, $RKLB has a higher valuation than $SPCX is set to have. Use that info how you want.

Can someone tell me if stocks like $RKLB and $ASTS are overvalued. I haven't tracked the companies at all. Is there still significant upside?

@WheelieInvestor They are "only" bringing 75B to market. Not the whole 1.8T valuation. Still a sizeable chunk, but the average day on the S&P sees ~450B traded. My guess is there will be an impact on some stocks, but not that bad.

The big question for SpaceX $SPCX: Where will thet be pulling from to get the liquidity? Space stocks? $TSLA? A different sector entirely? This will be crazier than any IPO we have seen before. Buckle up

Since it's the weekend, I might as well share a nice picture i took of a recent departure out of San Fransisco. On the way in a few days before, we flew the BODEGA arrival. So named because it takes you straight over Napa Valley. Beautiful area of the world Northern California.

@Polymarket You know what to do fam
