$WORX traded 116M shares today. There are 742K shares outstanding. The warrant stack behind that tape is a real puzzle. 🧵

What's gated: • The September PIPE shares • The warrants sold with them • A sub-series locked behind another series Three locks, three kinds of key: a filing, a holder's own move, the calendar. Which fits which — and when it turns — is in the report.

There's also a price below which the company can't sell stock without resetting the warrants, and a standstill limiting what it can sell at all. Every series traced to its exhibit, every gate cited to its clause. Full report on TraderPods: traderpods.org Not advice.

Good day to open a free TraderPods.org account — our forensic reports on $SGRX, $NWGL and $XLAB are up. Hard-to-borrow fees are my biggest cost every year as a short seller and they’re the only cost you pay before you know if the trade works. A few cents a share on every locate adds up to a full strategy’s worth of edge over 12 months. Shop it. I’m picky about where I borrow. Sage’s locates have been great for me; TraderPods members say the same about Zimtra.

JUST IN: SOME ANTHROPIC INVESTORS ARE REPORTEDLY WEIGHING A LOWER VALUATION AHEAD OF ITS IPO Some investors discussed a valuation of around $1.5 trillion, below the roughly $2 trillion previously expected for its November share sale, per Reuters, citing people familiar with the matter. At its investor day on Wednesday, Anthropic reportedly told investors its third-quarter revenue rose 45% from the prior quarter to $16.8 billion, and that it was profitable on an adjusted basis. Some investors were disappointed that growth slowed after revenue more than doubled to $11.6 billion in the second quarter, the people said. Anthropic did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

$SPRC — posted a forensic report this morning. Kill line: “an additional Pure Capital note — any session.” Hours later: 6-K. Not a new note — they repriced the old one. Pure Capital’s $2.02M converts at $1.50 (stock closed $3.63). No cash to the company. Called the financier, missed the method: the floor in a non-recourse note is only the floor until both sides sign a letter. TraderPods.org Screenshot below ⬇️

Replying to @Traders4ACause
@Traders4ACause is hosting some great events! We will be attending the one in Austin, Texas October 29th. They will also be hosting two other events, one in Chicago October 21st and another in San Diego November 14. T4AC is one of our favorites because it's a great way to network, learn, and especially give back to some great causes. It is personal to me, specifically, because attending their conference is what gave me the drive and ambition to create TraderPods.org! It's well worth going to. Their biggest event is their conference held on February 19th – 21st, 2027 at Fontainebleau in Miami Beach, Florida. Definitely worth going to, especially if you give yourself an extra day to enjoy the private beach!! You can see more information by clicking this link: traders4acause.org/events/ We hope to see you there! David and I would absolutely love to meet you!

$GENK sold its restaurants for $100M this morning. Read the fine print. Not cash, it’s a note. The $100M can shrink. 12 month handover. Credit line matured 9/25, no renewal filed. And a $25M ELOC with Roth went effective 4 sessions before the PR. Shorted the pop, covered into the fade. +$6.9K. Research: TraderPods.org Locates and buying power: Sage Trader (US broker) sagetrader.com/?utm_source=t… Zimtra (prop firm) zimtra.com/?campaign=traderp… We partner with both and may receive incentives.

INTRO Hedge fund trader with a hat. 10 million verified on Kinfo. Here’s the top opp of the day. THE NEWS $GENK. 8:31 this morning: board approves a binding letter of intent to sell 47 of its Korean BBQ restaurants to Chubby Group for 100 million dollars. Stock closed at 1.45 yesterday, a 52 week low. Spiked to 2.85 premarket. THE CATCH Read the release. It’s not cash, it’s a note. The 100 million can shrink, locations can be pulled and part of it is tied to performance. It takes 12 months in 4 phases, while their 13.75 million dollar credit line matured September 25 with no renewal on file. And they have a 25 million dollar ELOC with Roth that just went effective October 8, 4 sessions before this press release. THE PLAYBOOK We’ve seen this movie. Same 100 million dollar headline came out non binding in August. Ran to 2.32, then bled to 1.45. THE TRADE `Shorted the 10:10 pop in the 2.15 to 2.25 area, added 2.02 to 2.12 when it could hold above VWAP any longer and covered on the way down. 6.9K on the day. OUTRO The research is at TraderPods.org. The locates and buying power are at Sage Trader, a US licensed broker, and Zimtra, a prop firm. We partner with both and may receive incentives.

FRMI: No Details Means Fluff INTRO Hedge fund trader with a hat. 10 million verified on Kinfo. Here’s the top opp of the day. THE NEWS FRMI ran yesterday on an AMD credit support agreement. The PR had no details. No dollar amount, no terms, nothing. When there are no details, it’s usually fluff. WHY Here’s the thing. Fermi needs money to finish building the plant. Their own 10 Q says Phase 1 needs capital they don’t have. I didn’t see how a credit support agreement from AMD was going to fix that. That’s not a check. THE TRADE So I shorted that opening bounce. Got chopped up a little, but I stuck with it. Covered over half near the close yesterday and a little more early after hours. THE 8K — chart: fact sheet slide, circle the line This morning the 8 K came out with the details. AMD’s support begins once construction is done. Early 2028. It backs the rent after the building exists. It doesn’t pay for the building. Exactly what I thought. THE MISTAKE And here’s my mistake. The stock spiked first thing this morning on that 8 K, I got scared and covered the rest at 3.65. It’s at 3.15 now. Could have done a lot better. Made 14 thousand on it. Should have been more. OUTRO The research is at TraderPods.org. The locates and buying power are at Sage Trader, a US licensed broker, and Zimtra, a prop firm. We partner with both and may receive incentives. Educational only, not trade advice. The hat stays on.

Lots of base hits adding up today. I'm glad not everything was China related. I shorted $FRMI yesterday and covered it way too early today. $GENK I got a nice backside short off. $GLND glad to see that stock in play today as well and was very patient before I shorted and got a nice win. $TCRT I went long that in the low 3s late in the day yesterday and sold some after hours and the rest today before it totally tanked. Yeah I don't always short. I alerted all of these in the TraderPods.org chat room.

I would like to take a minute to talk about @Kinfo and why we appreciate what this company does. I have had many people ask me "how can we actually tell if someone is really a professional trader or not on this site?" And honestly, you just have to take their word for it. HOWEVER, you CAN have yourself verified and Kinfo, in our opinion, is a great way to to do it. We have many on our pltaform already who are Kinfo verified, including @veptrader. Kinfo also happens to be one of our Affiliate partners! They bring transparency and accountability to trading performance. Connect your brokerage account, track your results automatically, and share verified trading statistics with the community. Explore other traders' performance and build credibility with trading records backed by actual brokerage data. - Automatically track trading performance through broker integrations. - View verified profit-and-loss statistics. - Analyze trading results and performance trends. - Share verified trading records. - Explore other traders' publicly shared performance. - Participate in trader leaderboards. I will also soon be making the Kinfo badge more visible in all other areas on our site. If you are verified, your badge will follow your name wherever it appears on TraderPods.org. Using the official TraderPods discount code (TP2026) while signing up saves you 50% on all Kinfo plans! We encourage you all to look into them and get yourself verified!
