Bye Bye TikTok ... And WNS 👋

According to several news sources¹²³, TikTok will be gone March 2026. Apparently Oracle has developed a new app, M, that will be available in app stores September this year. We talked about this back in January; the most common retort: “The government wouldn’t get rid of TikTok because it would crush thousands of small businesses!”. BRUH…your congressional representatives, both left and right, knew about this…352 voted in favor of the “Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (PAFACA)⁴. Only 65 were again. And do recall, of the hundreds of more pressing issues in the United States, that the politicians can’t seem to figure out, they nailed this bill down in less than a month. Apparently this new app, M, will be U.S. only. It feels like we are marching towards North Korea’s social media policies 🤢.

Regardless, these are variables outside of my control. I will not be transitioning to any new applications. I will post here on Substack, and the website is currently making excellent progress. A simple dashboard with the screened stock (long term, short term and penny picks), a list of current positions. I am also working on a feed for upcoming economic events like GDP, Inflation, etc. A short 🐻 screener is also being built, but it is still in development. I will keep you updated.

The Front of the dashboard with updated screened stocks. The 2nd page has current positions, latest posts. This will grow in time.

Lastly, I will be exiting WNS 0.00%↑ today. We have held this position for nearly 4 months, and today it is up over 14%. Capgemini did acquire WNS…we noted that when the articles came out stating “Capgemini is no longer interested in WNS” that the price action actually rose. Yet another misleading article from U.S. mainstream media 😒.

Stop by the chat if you have any questions. Sorry for the blehhh news, but we have to cover it. Hope you have a great day, and thanks for stopping by 👍
