Bullish:

• $CYBERSEC - The increasing importance of digital identity and online verification in undercover work suggests a growing need for cybersecurity measures.

  • “Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, and like I said before, the only thing that's changed in undercover is building your legend because of the Internet.”

Bearish:

• $MAFIA - The mafia's influence and control have significantly diminished compared to its past power, with younger members being less committed and the organization losing control over various sectors.

  • “It's still there, but, you know, they're they don't control what they did. They don't control every all label. You know? When I was in it, they controlled everything. I mean, they controlled unions. They controlled every bit of Vegas.”

  • “The culture of the mob has changed too. I found near the end. These guys didn't to the old timers, this was like their their life. You know? They were really committed to it. It was the younger guys, it's it's it's a me generation just like normal citizens. They want it now.”

• $UNDERCOVER - Traditional undercover operations are becoming more challenging due to difficulties in building and maintaining cover stories in the digital age.

  • “And that's what's tough in undercover today is is is building your legend because it's it's hard to do a 100% back stopping.”
