America just celebrated its 250th birthday. Fireworks, flags, “greatest country on Earth.”
The World Happiness Report has a different scorecard: we’re 23rd.
Behind Kosovo. Behind Slovenia. Behind Czechia.
A thread on American exceptionalism, measured. 🧵
Jalen Brunson "To all the students taking the Gaokao, don't be nervous…Good luck"
Josh Hart "This is your guys playoff moment, the Finals…relax…stay confident…and kill it"
Today 13 million Chinese high schoolers take the grueling all-important Gaokao college entrance exam🇨🇳
@thewritser The difference is that $CVV has a decent chance of liquidation, unlike $CPIX. That said, CEO owns >35%. Unless he has substantial wealth else where, I can't fathom he runs this company into ground and throws away all this money.
The question is not "Who pays these guys to post?". The question is "Who is the target audience for these posts?".
My guess is that the target audience here is Chinese researchers living overseas. The goal is to get them to move back to China. (Trump is helping this goal ofc)
@thewritser Thanks! I don’t have strong feelings on both remainCo businesses. $CVV’s real estate is certainly a good kicker. But both ideas probably depend on what they do with proceeds. The thing made me prefer $ZD is the size.
@thewritser@Biohazard3737 Disagree with "the only way" part. it has never been "easier" to make it because of technologies. We all saw how Roaring Kitty and the hawk gal literally became millionaires overnight.
I have found a lot of great talent over Twitter, so worth putting this out:
Looking for a world class CMO in the allergy space
We believe that we have a functional cure for allergic conditions. We have the opportunity to potentially change the world and create a drug that will rival Dupixent in terms of peak sale opportunity.
But we need the right CMO to execute on the strategy. The lack of meaningful progress in the past 20 decades has created a scarcity of talent - and at the same time have raised the stakes. With the right ingenuity and connections you can create clinical trial strategies that will lead to rapid PoC in multiple blockbuster indications.
Do you know the right person? Happy to personally pay a $25k referral fee to the person that brings us a candidate that we end up hiring. Please email my EA: [email protected]
@thewritser@stockspinoffss IMO, big Q is capital allocation rather than business quality or valuation. If we see a big return of capital after deal close (ZD can easily buy back 1/4 of shares with proceeds at mid $50/share). Agreed gaming and health can probably get some big$ if they decided to sell.
@thewritser @DV_Situations Adj EBITDA $495m and FCF $280, conversion 57%. For Connectivity Adj EBITDA was $111, assume higher for Connectivity at 70% conversion, that's $78m, so the RemainCo FCF about $200m. That's my very unscientific estimate.
