Ah yes, the time-tested tactic of emailing the airline asking for a discount. Don't forget to dress nicely and whisper "revenue management" to the check-in agent for a free upgrade.

This is ridiculous & every entertainer should condemn this move as loudly as possible. Jimmy Kimmel, who I loathe, said NOTHING negative about Kirk! He clearly was mocking Trump’s response to the topic! If anything, he is defending Kirk here! This is a virtue-signal by Nexstar.

Nexstar, which is trying to get its $6.2bn deal with Tegna approved, says it will preempt Jimmy Kimmel “for the foreseeable future”

The ghouls who openly laughed about Jimmy Kimmel’s baby’s congenital heart disease have super hurt feelings about Kimmel saying they were capitalizing on Kirk’s death. They are the most fragile, intellectually and emotionally stunted, immoral humans on the planet.

Jimmy Kimmel should have never talked about euthanizing homeless people. Wait. That was Brian Kilmeade of Fox Jimmy Kimmel should have never said the LEFT is responsible for all violence in America. Wait. That was the idiot in the White House. Fuck you, ABC

Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel both getting cooked this year should tell everybody where we truly are. If two beloved rich ass white men can’t say what they want to say, we are past emergency level of danger

Jimmy Kimmel is being indefinitely shelved by ABC, proving that the only thing it’s safe to say on TV anymore is that you want to kill homeless people.

*CBS cancels Stephen Colbert* **ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel** JIMMY FALLON (moving forward):

BREAKING: House Republicans shut down a motion to subpoena Epstein–Maxwell bank records before Rep. Scanlon could even finish reading it. They don’t want transparency, they want silence. Ask yourself why.

This @mortgagenewsmnd article could've been written a year ago today. Time's a flat circle.

If you don't want to listen to the entire 32 minute webcast from today, listen to the last 90 seconds answer to "why does $ONIT trade at a discount?" Nicely sums up a misunderstood balance sheet holding a large reverse portfolio, and the fact they're a small cap with low float.

I'm overweight $TIPT common again with it back in a $22 handle after having right-sized my position near $26.

I think the current holdup around announcing/closing the deal is regulatory-related. I have a feeling they want to pre-clear the purchase to avoid any surprises should they choose to proceed, so closing timeframe should be much more compressed.

In the case of a full buyout, I'm firmly of the opinion that a vast majority of proceeds get paid out as a div. Tiptree has never paid more than ~$200mm cash for any acquisition (record was their FTG purchase).

The former is likely to be the case if there's a full buyout, as even though negotiations have dragged on forever, I can't see the deal taking a year to close. The latter is likely if there's an IPO and he needs to start the clock on holding $TIPT so he can swap for FTG stock.

The most recent E&S IPO comp from June, $ASIC, would imply a $35+ IPO price, so there shouldn't be a rush to exercise, UNLESS: - He needs to own the stock for 61-364 days to receive qualified dividend treatment, or - He needs to own the stock for 365+ days for LTCG treatment.

However, for the CEO to go back and file to exercise his 2027 options now, when there's absolutely no urgency, gives a huge clue to what's going to happen to $TIPT. With a 2026 IPO coming and recent comps well above current price, he surely could retain more shares if he waited.

The most innocuous reason that I can think of for the board chair to exercise his 2026 and 2027 options now is pure convenience and laziness. It would be somewhat reasonable for the CEO to exercise his 2026 options now, as they're a few months away their expiration date.

Another day, another $TIPT filing! The company disclosed today that the CEO also exercised his 2027 options, the day after the board chair did the same (although he missed top-ticking it like his colleague). I think this is the most telling exercise yet. Why? 🧵

Things got weird the moment Powell said "this is a risk management cut."
