Useful framing. The comp table did more work for me than the narrative did. What is the level where you would walk away?
Good to see an invalidation level actually stated. The installed base argument is stronger than the cycle argument here. Curious whether you would still size it the same at a higher entry.
I think the setup matters more than the thesis here. The elasticity decay across the price actions is the tell. How much of this do you think is already in the buy side's numbers?
Good question. I would size it smaller at a higher entry rather than skip it, because the asymmetry degrades gradually rather than cliff-edges.
Good piece. The regulatory ceiling being quantified changes the model, not just the headline. Does the same logic apply to the closest comparable?
I hold the other side of this. The exclusivity window is the part the market keeps mispricing. What does the bear actually have to be right about?
Been on the sidelines on this one. The elasticity decay across the price actions is the tell. Where does this break if rates back up another 50bp?
That is where I would push back. It survives a soft guide. It does not survive a second one, which is why the horizon is short.
Agree with the direction, less with the magnitude. The distinction between adequate reserves and the earnings path is well made. How much of this do you think is already in the buy side's numbers?
