The Curious Case of AppLovin: Will the Soaring Stock Sustain Its Ascent?

Yet, one might ponder: what drives investors to furrow their brows over such figures? The very same facts, like a two-faced coin, can lead to disparate conclusions. On one hand, the business appears resplendently robust compared to its former self of yore; on the other, the price at which eager investors now find themselves beckoned is far less forgiving, a veritable siren luring them toward rocky shores.

Indeed, AppLovin stands as a quintessential case study of a flourishing enterprise shackled by an unappealing stock price.

Bitcoin Guy in the Slammer?! 😲

He says it’s “confusing and unnatural.” Well, I reckon that about covers it. Prison’s rarely a picnic, unless you’re real fond of baloney sandwiches and guys with tattoos. But he says it’s “manageable.” The other boys, they left him be. Good manners, even in the places where manners are least expected. Funny, that. 🤔

Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson: Tokenization Game Changer?

So, Hoskinson is the tech wizard who kickstarted Cardano, and boy, he’s stirred up a storm in the blockchain tea room! After some buzz about the Canton Network, our boy Charles says legacy finance is catching up like…well, like grandma trying to text. Shocking, I know.

Bitcoin’s $100K Tango: Whales, Bears, and the Great Indecision 🕺💰

Volatility, once the market’s fiery mistress, has retreated into the shadows, leaving behind a silence so deafening it could rival a Russian winter. Analysts, those modern-day soothsayers, whisper of a bear phase, their voices trembling with the weight of their own predictions. Yet, beneath the surface of this apparent apathy, a drama unfolds-one that cannot be captured by price alone, much like the unspoken desires of a Chekhov play.

Perimeter Solutions Surges 111% as a Fund Makes a Calculated Exit

During the third quarter, a typically discreet act of stock trimming took place-like snipping a strand of hair just before a first date, hoping no one notices. This fund, which manages nearly $320 million in U.S. stocks, decided to unload almost 3% of its position in Perimeter Solutions, leaving behind a little over 1.5 million shares valued at about $35.24 million. This modest redistribution makes you wonder if they’re trying to dress their portfolio for a cocktail party rather than a fireworks show.

When the Bitcoin Miner Met the Exit Door

On November 14, 13D Management LLC, a New York-based fund with the dramatic flair of a soap opera antagonist, filed its quarterly report revealing it had exited its entire position in Riot Platforms. The move shaved $5.12 million off its portfolio-a tidy sum, though I’m told that’s only about 0.000000001% of the wealth accumulated by people who own private islands.

Viasat: 13D’s $8M Gamble in the Satellite Jungle

On November 14, the SEC released a document that might as well have been written in code for the uninitiated. 13D Management, that shadowy cabal of financial alchemists, revealed a new position in Viasat (VSAT 0.97%) during the third quarter. They own 267,000 shares, each one a bullet in the chamber of their portfolio’s roulette wheel. The fund’s total equity holdings? A tidy 18, as of September 30. A number that feels both precise and absurd, like the price of a loaf of bread in a world run by madmen.
