Overweight GME, troubled FUN holding, and fresh ASTS exposure

The author remains long and overweight GME while holding FUN despite concerns about leverage, rebranding, merger execution, and safety. Their distinctive stance combines skepticism toward SPCX dominance with a new ASTS position: they exited WEN as dead money and bought 300 ASTS shares at $42.75 after initially placing it on a watch list.

Direction this week

Disclosed portfolio conviction sits in overweight GME and the new ASTS purchase, while FUN accounts for four of ten signals and remains a troubled holding. The explicit portfolio change is the WEN exit and ASTS entry; separate commentary questions SPCX dominance and criticizes HOOD's expanded options offerings.

Grade is our human read-worthiness rating; trader score is a rolling 20-bet hit-rate/alpha composite — different things, often disagreeing. “Since then” is direction-unaware in the table; the summary line above adjusts for which way they leaned.
