Bullish:

• $SAMBO - Combat sambo training system from Dagestan is producing dominant MMA fighters, with Khabib's father Abdulmanap having trained 18 world champions, suggesting growing value in this martial arts methodology

  • “Abdulmanap, who is Khabib's dad, was a phenomenal trainer... he was named by the Russian book of records as the most successful combat sambo coach in the country... He trained a total of 18 world champions through his coaching career.”

Bearish:

• $FURRIES - The furry subculture represents psychological escapism from people who are dissatisfied with their identity, hiding behind costumes rather than confronting personal issues

  • “I think it's a psychological thing, but they don't like who they really are... I think most of them just don't like who they are, and so they just wanna hide in this thing that's all smiley and, hi, kids.”

• $FASTFOOD - National fast food chains are experiencing quality degradation in Texas markets, with McDonald's, Wendy's, and even In-N-Out performing worse than local Texas chains

  • “McDonald's is not as good... Wendy's is terrible... even In N Out here is not as good”
