Great write-up and summary of the situation. The secondary dislocation seems like a real gift for building the position. Also, I really appreciate the shout out on my article!

Nice write-up. I wasn’t aware of your newsletter until it now. I also wrote a few articles on Amentum $AMTM since December 2024, FYI.

Another really good pitch. Buying today. What I like:

- A large seller who doesn't care what the shares are worth.

- Retail has likely left this ticker for dead. Paid discords I track were in AMTM for a "next PLTR" type play in January and maybe also thought the alien tech thing would meme, then everyone dumped their American defense exposure for European.

- Meaningful insider buys above my entry.

- Acid pick.

What I don't like:

- Orange man wants SPY to die.

Thanks MM. I've been eating glass a little with some of em so your words are very encouraging. I appreciate <3.

Good entry pt. 12 march volumes were insane, 10.6m shares sold, ~3x the average. It moderated down ytd. So good entry point.

As for the placement, it was oversubscribed and with allocations concentrated to a few key placees. Mainly LO funds and existing investors - I'm thinking the PE funds etc on the register atm. So it's just BoFA maintaining its prime broker r/s with its clients and taking their bids... I assume this explains the discrepancy between being oversubscribed and placing shares at an astounding 17.5% discount, far higher than what I've seen in many cases and places AMTM at bottom barrel valuations.

Big DOGE risk remains however and yes, orange man risk - on that front, i've been raising cash.. don't think this year will be a good one for equities in the US. But famous last words

My late 2024 was all glass eating, 2025 was my best start to a year then I ate another variety of glass today. It’s that earnings miss glass where you see the after hours print and hope for a softer reaction in the morning and remember the whole market is no bid. So you’ve got company my friend. Let’s raise some cash cuz it’s bound to be a year of opportunities <3

Thanks in @17.79 are you ok holding for long term, or a quick bounce?

Unsatisfactory answer prolly but I’m thinking half for a quick bounce and the rest for LT. Think there’s a credible thesis behind this with rerating potential. But I do have some exposure to these DOGE spendings - I own OTM LEAPS on KBR as well - which is an Irenic activist co split up play.
