I’m Short Oklo
I’m inside you, Sam!

Wilted Greens
The restaurant sector has been a wreck recently. One in particular, sweetgreen (SG) has lost about 90% of its value. I actually have eaten there dozens of times – – it’s really good!! – – but I guess it simply isn’t a great business to be in right now.

OKLO About to Get Nuked
It isn’t big, but the head and shoulders top is well-formed and well-deserved. The stock has lost almost 50% of its value already, but, hey, only $0 is the true limit.

Dumbest Reason Not to Short
I would love to be short Vistra (VST). In fact, I shorted it yesterday, but I covered. Why? Because the quote is wrong! On occasion, thinkorswim’s platform will throw off a completely random quote for a given symbol. VST happens to be one of them, and I cannot feel comfortable having my spreadsheet jumping all over the place based on one position getting insane quotes. Shame, eh? Maybe you can do better.
