Basically saying who knew if it even worked and this is him saying this before $HIMS launched it
FinTwit sentiment for almost everything
When the price is up: "Yea exactly, the market is right. Definitely makes sense."
When the price is down: "Market is wrong! It's these stupid shorts and Jane Street trying to tear it all down! You just don't get it dude! Manipulation!"
$REAL blew past estimates! +6% right now
People really do not understand the tailwinds with this trend and why $REAL is best positioned for.
$REAL is www.cedargrovecm.com 's 2nd largest position.

$EVLV is interesting because it seems like every week you get some type of deal or article highlighting a new deal/client or upgrade and yet this thing continues to dump

Since $NVO has decided to sue $HIMS, and I'm sure people are too lazy to click on things, here's the page from our March 3rd report explaining treble damages
