Uber and the Automaton Menace

The stock, as of the tenth of March, languishes a full 28% below its peak of October 2025. A rather dismal showing, one might say, though markets are prone to fits of melancholy. Yet, Mr. Dara Khosrowshahi, the gentleman at Uber’s helm, has uttered words that, while not exactly a balm, offer a sliver of… something. A distraction, perhaps, from the impending metallic takeover.

Praxis? Oh, Great.

Apparently, Deerfield’s PRAX holdings jumped by $221.69 million in one quarter. Just…like that. And now they own 3.4% of Deerfield’s 13F reportable AUM. AUM. It’s just a lot of letters. Like they’re trying to hide something in the alphabet soup. And what is AUM anyway? Assets Under Management? It sounds like a hostage situation. “We have your assets! Under management!”

The Electric Carriage: A Market’s Slow Turning

The question now preoccupies many a parlor and counting house: will this industry regain its former momentum, or is this a harbinger of a more protracted struggle? To expect a swift recovery, a dramatic surge in demand, seems to this observer a folly born of impatience. The market, like a great river, rarely changes course with sudden haste.

Angel Studios: From Blockbusters to…Blockages?

Apparently, only one Wall Street analyst bothered to predict what Angel Studios would do with its quarterly earnings. One! It’s like showing up to a potluck and realizing you’re the only one who brought a dish. They were expecting a 20-cent loss on $92.6 million in revenue. Angel delivered…a 46-cent loss on $109.9 million. Better sales, worse earnings. It’s the corporate equivalent of ordering a salad and getting a side of regret.

Dollar General: A Slow Erosion

One is compelled to ask: is this a mere overreaction, a momentary lapse in collective reason? Or is it, rather, a prescient assessment, a glimpse into a future where even the most reliably resilient enterprises find their foundations…shifting? I suspect the latter. The pronouncements from management regarding the fiscal year 2026 offer little comfort, hinting at a deceleration, a dwindling of the very momentum that once defined this retail institution.

KinderCare: A Cautionary Tale

The earnings looked okay, initially. Beat estimates, they said. A temporary reprieve, naturally. Then the 2026 guidance dropped. A bit like discovering your carefully constructed soufflé has collapsed just as the guests arrive. Occupancy is down – 67.8% to 64.5% – and projected to fall further. Another 3%, they say. It’s all very… downwards. Units of Investor Confidence Lost: Considerable. Hours Spent Refreshing Portfolio: Excessive.

Actors You Probably Didn’t Know Speak Multiple Languages

This British actor is best known for playing Loki in the Marvel movies. He’s also a classically trained actor and speaks several languages – French, Spanish, Italian, and Greek – to varying degrees. He studied Classics at the University of Cambridge, giving him a solid understanding of ancient Greek and Latin. He often impresses people during interviews on international press tours, like those for ‘The Avengers’, by responding in their language.

Cohen’s Bets: A Few Billion Here and There

He doesn’t put all his eggs in one basket, not that anyone really does. Three thousand eight hundred holdings, they say. A diversified portfolio, they call it. It’s a way of saying he’s spread the risk around, like a gambler hoping for a few small wins instead of one spectacular loss. It’s all just shuffling numbers, really.
