So... that's a good question. I understand some of the theory but I don't know how to put that into practice. I don't really know how to evaluate if AB is a good investment or not. But it does look very enticing. And I don't know if AB falls more into the asymmetric higher risk side or the conservative side.

AB is cheaper now than when she bought it. My buddy in the comments below believes the husband is running a barbell strategy on it. Hoping to hear what he says about it. I was going to throw cash into arcc and figured maybe we follow her lead and see what happens since I consider them pretty similar holdings. I regretted not following in the past especially recently with BE. This company stood out because it seems outside of the normal trades you hear she makes.

greytoc

It's not the same thing. And are you referring to AB-Lend? AB-Lend is a separate BDC entity where AB provides management services. AB makes money from manageement fees and acts like an external manager as described by u/MrBotANot 's comment in this thread. AB-Lend is pretty new and looks to probably generate about 2-4MM in revenue for AB. That's a small fraction of the 4-5Bn in annual revenue generated by AB. Look at it a different way - would you consider McDonald's a real estate company and consider it the same as a REIT because McDonald's derives 30% of their revenue from real estate holdings? If OP asked about an investment into a diversified REIT like O - would you consider MCD an equivalent investment?

CreepinOnTheWeedend

Doesn’t AB do the same with their private lending fund?

greytoc

No - their business models and core products are entirely different. AB is an investment manager - the vast majority of their revenue is generated from investment management fees. ARCC is a BDC - they generate revenue from interest income to mostly middle market companies. The financial industry is huge and can mean a lot of different things. Just because a company can claim to be in tech, financial services, real estate, etc. doesn't mean that it's business is related.

greytoc

AB is a totally different type of company than ARCC. And Paul Pelosi has a pretty diverse portfolio.

CreepinOnTheWeedend

Why not just copy Pelosi and take AB? She knows more than us.

Good investment, a Cayman billionaire called Kenneth Dart has bough 30% ownership of Flutter 18% shares + 11% TRS cash settled swaps and he also bought 5,8% of Draftkings a few weeks back, he also owns 30% of Evolution AB the largest B2B casino provider. I don't know if he is just pure speculation or has information but I guess no one knows what a supreme court would rule but these people usually don't loose... If we just look at any country apart from the US, prediction markets either exist under gambling laws and regulations like the UK or outright banned like Brazil and Spain etc. Anyway in general isn't gambling in nature means predicting an outcome? Probably Dart bet is on regulation of predictions and more states legalizing igaming/sportbooks in the US. All countries need tax money especially the US states and gambling with tobacco is the easy tax money. Prediction markets show states that the population gambling appetite is high. These are multi year slow burn play though don't expect a 50-100% bounce back within 6 months. Gambling companies acquired and mainly trade on ev/ebitda not p/s current Flutter Ntm ev/ ebitda is 9,8x I think for multiple countries market leader in any segment which has got big opportunities in Brazil and NA for growth is cheap. Heavily regulated sector so risk is a little higher and different than MSFT or ADBE CRM AMD etc.

NEWSFLASH: Corporations don't have feelings. They are a cold steel bulldozer with one goal in mind. They will say anything to send "the right message" to their target buyers, whether they believe in it or not. Take AB for instance. They went woke for a minute. Then they saw a big decline on behalf of that announcement, so they retracted their "wokeness" LMAO Every move, every statement from a corporation is a calculated business decision, with 0 emotion behind it.

fuentescoffee

Not who you asked, but there's a structural case in this release that doesn't depend on the revenue line at all. The C$75.3M BAT convertible debenture wasn't repaid — on May 28 it converted at C$0.94. Share count went from 159.4M at year end to 270.5M at June 30. Total liabilities dropped $77.3M to $20.3M, and equity swung from a $2.0M deficit to $56.1M. That's where the "74% liability reduction" headline comes from. Nothing was paid down. A creditor became a shareholder. That's the part that moves the odds. A debtholder wants to be made whole and then leave. An equity holder that size needs an exit, and the cap table is now built for one. Two things I'd flag on the loss line before reading it as improvement. Net loss narrowed from $6.3M to $4.1M, but the release attributes part of that to a favorable fair-value change on financial instruments — the same debenture. And $(0.04) to $(0.02) per share is against roughly 70% more shares. Meanwhile revenue is $10.9M and California's SB 378 / AB 8 haven't landed yet on the \~10% of revenue they say is exposed.

I was picturing it like Curaleaf being the GTI and Cronos being the RYM in that scenario. Just trying to force a Cronos/Curaleaf fit for the discussion. I don't think they are ideal partners. Cronos has Altria (and through them AB InBev) connections, so distribution of hemp could be something Cronos is good at. Cronos could then license brands to Curaleaf, while shifting Gotham Green cannabis assets to Curaleaf. That would boost Curaleaf's revenue, which in turn would increase the payments to Cronos. But yea Cronos feels like the original one who was setting up for a Vireo type play. With Gotham Green all over the place. But even Gotham has been quiet lately. I could definitively make the case for Cronos/Vireo. However with Miracle Gro being the biggest fish currently in the Vireo pond, I am looking for a Vireo move Miracle Gro would do. That's one reason I'm kind of focusing on brands at the moment. Miracle Gro has described their strategy in the past, and it's [exactly what they are doing with Vireo now](https://www.reddit.com/r/weedstocks/comments/1t3d4g7/comment/ojyeqry/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button). But Miracle Gro was also clear they believed brands are what win in the end. From a late 2021 interview: >*We’ve talked to a lot of these people who own these great businesses but remember, the way at least the United States is organized today, it’s state by state.* ***People who are powerful from California, aren’t powerful from Colorado****, but they’re all state by state. When we talk to them and say,* *“We want to create long-term and equity,” the best equity in history in the space.* > They know all the more specialized people, whereas MSOs got spread thin. Says long terms they do want to focus on brands and not cultivation. >

I am a college student and I have $500/month to spare. The thing is, I want to focus on my studies and not waste time checking stock prices daily and have my mood be dictated by it. I decided I will just do a monthly SIP and hold for 2 years, come what may. My risk tolerance is high. This is my split: $200- QLD (2x leveraged ETF) $150- SIVE (Sivers Semiconductors AB) $150-  AAOI (Applied Optoelectronics Inc) I have done basic reading on all three and the two stocks I picked are based on companies I think are undervalued despite producing great products. The only issue is one of those stock picks end up being a fraudulent company or leadership is horrible and fumble badly. Tell me if there are better options for the stocks.

It is my opinion that Trulieve is just paying PR firms to pump themselves to seem like they are driving policy instead of following. They are using major PR firm The Herald Group at the moment.

Lots of people. BAT, Swisher, etc.. Heck, one of the big intoxicating hemp people **Bret Worley is engaged to Susie Wiles' daughter** lol but yea I'm sure Trulieve is driving cannabis policy because she knows Susie. * Certainly not people who have advised Trump for a decade like Peter Thiel, who is invested in LeafLink. * Or Trump family member Josh Kushner, whose an investor in Dutchie. * Or AB InBev who are one of the last holdouts for intoxicating hemp beverages. I just think if Kim Rivers was as important as Howard Kessler, then Trump would have brought her up at the White House announcement. **He brought up Howard Kessler a bunch of times.** The announcement was almost completely about CBD? So how exactly was Kim Rivers instrumental in that? Did he mention her a single time? I could be misremembering.

The next play in my opinion is SASS that are essential to AI infrastructure: Datadog, Snow, Oklo have all seen attention but may be in the early stages Whether they are true bottlenecks remains to be seen. For example, SNOW may just be a momentum play that is purely cyclical as many hyperscalers share its moat. Demand is red hot right now. But if you want something cheap, pre re-rating narrative I would say $TRMB, $U, or $HXGBY (unfortunately Hexagon AB is mostly listed in the us as a low volume ADR). I have an extensive thesis for each. Tell me if you’re interested but my personal favorite is $TRMB. Mostly seen as a cyclical industrial hardware stock now. But has been transitioning to SASS. The CAPEX of AI is currently in its mind phase, we are building the brain. We need compute, storage, energy. The next step is the physical world. Physical AI deployment is next. That is the next trillion dollar opportunity. $TSLA is a clear potential winner but my view is what is next $MU or $DDOG.

Hey Galiano, has Boxabl considered pursuing opportunities in San Francisco with all the new housing laws and rezoning efforts pushing for rapid development? With RHNA requiring 82,000+ new units by 2031, SB 423 fast-tracking multifamily projects, AB 2011 allowing commercial-to-residential conversions, and the new Family Zoning Plan increasing density near transit, it seems like there could be a major opportunity for modular housing at scale. Has Boxabl looked into partnerships or bids tied to projects like Treasure Island, Pier 70, or other large SF developments?

I’m holding 68% of my portefolio in Hacksaw AB at the moment. My average is @58,79. They specialize in online slots, working as a supplier of games to casinos. They are partnering up with new casinos each Month. They develop software in house, and once a machine is brought to life it creates revenue. It’s a one time cost. They also acquired openRPG a few months back. So now they also develop slots for other igaming companies, creating a new revenue stream. they mainly earn money each time their machines are utillized on a online casino. They did an ipo less than a year ago. 10% buyback coming up, 82% ebitda, dividend was 0,4 euro pr. Stock 2 weeks ago, pe is 14.37 whereas the Industry average is around 17-ish. They are expected to grow their revenue by 30% this year, their main market Europe is getting a bit more regulated and the market fell 5,4% overall yoy. The American market on the other hand is still opening up and is growing 37% yoy atm. Just to give an example What was put into accounts last week: Stake= 402m$ Roobet= 95,9m$ Rainbet= 62,3m$ Exact Same week, last year.: Stake= 320,9m$ Roobet= 88,5m$ Rainbet= 0,5m$ I have tried their machines several times myself, and overall they are very entertaining, with huge jackpots. I ended up losing 2 grand on their slots. Then I thought to myself; if you can’t beat Them, join Them. Whatever metric you’re finding, It’s pointing towards Hacksaw being marketleaders in the slots Industry. They beat guidance for q1, and their biggest franchise is the “le”-machines. They have 2 new “le” games coming out in q2. There is “le football fan” coming out in a month coinciting with the World Cup. They are without a ceo at for 3 weeks now, which I hope won’t continue for too Long. If they find someone soon it can be a positive catalysator. The Stock has momentum atm and is ath - so it might seem like an exepensive buy at the moment, but I Think it Will continue to soar. I’m dca’ing each month with all I have. I know the product, I have faith in the Company, they have low costs and great margins, i like the business model. Their biggest threat is regulation, but other than that I Can’t see Them loose momentum. This is not a financial advise!

Overall portfolio(incl indexes) has gained 25% but I feel like I could be a lot more optimal, a lot of my gains are significantly tilted to tech with ASML, AMD, GOOG being the biggest winners but everything in the lower half of my portfolio is either slightly in the red or down significantly like Nintendo. I do believe Nintendo will flip at some point and honestly I really like the look of Sony as well but not convinced that if ASML for example crashes the others will be there to keep my portfolio afloat.

They haven't been involved in labor disputes in almost 100 years and haven't killed anyone in a labor dispute since the 1800s. In the incident you're thinking of in 2020, the guy worked for a different security group and was protecting journalists at a right wing rally. A conservative protestor assaulted the guard and sprayed him with bear spray and the guard shot him. Whatever one thinks of the use of deadly force in this case, I think most people would agree that a person employed by a third party security company that was subcontracted by the Pinkertons who ends up shooting a conservative at a conservative rally in order to protect journalists and progressive counter-protestors doesn't exactly fit the narrative of the Pinkertons as an anti-labor police force. So like I said it's an outdated reference. As a reference *about that historical time* it is accurate to say they used to be an anti-labor paramilitary force. But now they're basically a brand name owned by the Swedish company Securitas AB.

There certainly are more links to them than to a lot of others. If you look at synergies, think of it from the perspective of Altria. * Altria is mostly focused on smokeable products, while having a smaller investment in beverages with AB. * GTI is mostly focused on smokeable products, while having a smaller investment in beverages with RYM. In theory, Altria/GTI pushing smokeables while AB's distribution network carries their beverages would make sense. I could definitely make the case for a few other companies too, but GTI/Altria doesn't seem too crazy.

Target is expanding several brands, including the brand **Trail Magic.** This is an investment by Dumont Global, which is the cannabis investing arm of the partners from **3G Capital**. * 3G Capital is the private equity firm behind AB InBev. * Altria is 3G's longtime co-investor in AB InBev * Target started lobbying for hemp in **2026Q1** with their in-house lobbyist. Target also registered the firm Akin Gump in late 2024, but never logged any actual activity with them. Finally in 2026Q1 they reported lobbying (tariffs on textiles). The lobbyists they are using are named Deatherage and **Olswanger**. * AB InBev has used Akin Gump for years. They just started using Olswanger in 2025Q3. This is the same and only quarter AB InBev ever used Deatherage. * Altria has also used Akin Gump for years. They just re-added Olswanger to the team in 2026Q1. * Altria used to use Olswanger between **2023Q3 - 2024Q3** * GTI used to use Olswanger between **2023Q3-2024Q4**. Some quarters the [only lobbyist Green Thumb used was Olswanger.](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/0c91b36a-8c04-4542-9785-95a6aab55eac/print/) GTI registered with Olswanger on 6/13/2023. Altria then added Olswanger to the team starting 7/1/2023. GTI now uses the lobbying firm Forbes-Tate. Besides Jeff Forbes being a decades long Altria lobbyist, [one of the lobbyist GTI is using (Rick Murphy) has lobbied for Altria since 1999](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/185a7622-0ad4-4ec7-9459-98af893245ae/print/). Even having [Altria named in his biography](https://forbes-tate.com/member/rick-murphy/). Olswanger, who has only recently started being used by AB InBev, also has a specific connection to AB InBev from his very first lobbying disclosure. Olswanger was on one registration way back in 2014, and not on another until 2016. The company that he first started lobbying for was Burger King. Besides AB InBev, Burger King is one of the most prominent long term investments by 3G Capital. [On Olswanger's very first lobbying registration ever, the associated organization listed was 3G Capital](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/dc325695-804f-467b-90c9-1be4f1bf96f6/print/).

Btw sorry, I'm not really trying to convince you or anything. It's totally reasonable to not think the THC beverage market is a thing. I believe there's lots of evidence to the contrary over the last few years though. Just a good place to get some thoughts out. Your first point of how to differentiate. That's all about distribution. **Everything about the beverage market is about distribution**. My first link says how at that point they were estimating only 30 or so brands had real distribution. Take a super popular beverage brand like Celsius. It was around for a long time before getting plugged into Pepsi's network and becoming one of the top energy drinks. And I think it tastes just ok. Then about the person drinking a THC drink vs hitting a 90% vape. You're still thinking they are the same consumer. They are not. The whole point of beverages taking off **specifically when they began to be sold in regular retail** is that the people buying low dose beverages are not the same people who even use high dose products at all. These are people who really do not even set foot inside of dispensaries. Listen to every single hemp beverage company and they will say this same thing. One of the fastest growing categories is "wine moms" who are replacing one glass of wine with a THC beverage. I have personally brought THC beverages to multiple events where normally there would maybe be a small amount of alcohol consumption, but not much. Multiple people who wouldn't have drank alcohol chose to drink THC drinks, without me prompting them to try them. These people would not be ripping a vape at this social gathering, but they would casually drink a THC drink. Also the 90% vape argument is the exact same you could make for beer. Why drink a beer when I could rip a shot? Why drink a light seltzer when I could have a flask of Everclear? Then this point: >Maybe way in the future we get them sold at bars or sporting events This is already happening. Several of the links I gave you were bars. There are also going to be lots of partnerships like RYM made with the United Center. Even smaller partnerships can be massive depending on the size of the company. There are so many deals to go around. A major arena management company called [Oak View Group has been preparing to launch hemp beverages at their venues for a couple years now](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/10/19/2763417/0/en/St-Peter-s-Drinks-and-Oak-View-Group-Partner-to-Introduce-Green-Monk%C3%A9-Hemp-Derived-Drinks-at-Live-Entertainment-Venues-Throughout-U-S-and-UK.html). They have partnerships with Green Monke and Cookies. The United Center (RYM partnership) was a founding member of Oak View Group's Arena Alliance. Oak View is also partnered with Live Nation for hosting Arena events. This isn't some small mom and pop company. They are already [launching THC beverages in their theater venues](https://urbanmilwaukee.com/pressrelease/green-monke-becomes-exclusive-hemp-infused-beverage-of-pabst-theater-group-a-milwaukee-entertainment-institution/) such as with Pabst Theater Group. Note that the brewing company Pabst has also long been eyeing the drinks market. They have had "[Pabst Labs](https://www.pabstlabs.com/)" for years. Lastly, regarding trying to guess who is going to be Budweiser. I don't think I need to guess who is going to be Budweiser. I care who will increase their market cap by a reasonable percentage from where it is now. Whether that is Jones Soda turning into a $200M company, RYM turning into a $2B company, Tilray turning into a $5B company, or AB InBev turning into a $500B company. It just matters that you pick someone who will grow from where they currently are. As mentioned above, Green Monke is now the official THC drink at [Pabst Theater Group](https://www.pabsttheatergroup.com/connect/our-partners). This is alongside Molson Coors, Jack Daniels, Casamigos, and Sun Cruiser. No Budweiser in sight. There are plenty of these smaller partnerships to go around for many brands to find success. Thinking you need to pick the Budweiser in order to win is the same fallacy as only caring about which cannabis company has the most revenue. The biggest company isn't always the best investment.

I am not and have never said Tilray will "take the beverage market by storm" lol wtf I have repeatedly just been saying their strategy is to expand into hemp beverages, and that their alcohol moves make sense in that context. This is in contrast to people saying they are a separate cannabis and alcohol company, and that expanding hemp beverages aren't their number one goal right now. Please stop conflating me saying that their strategy makes sense if they are moving into hemp beverages as me saying they are going to lead the hemp beverage market or take it by storm or whatever. I have always said that the major alcohol players like AB are going to be getting into the market. Tilray will hopefully be able to ride that market wave, just like he did at Hain early on with health food. That's why he's taking crappy beer brands off of AB so they are allowed in the three tier distribution club. Look at AB's earnings today. But i have always said that even with the moves making sense in theory, there's no guarenteeing Tilray is a winner at all. I've been so so clear for a very long time that i think all the major alcohol companies are ready to jump into hemp beverages, not just Tilray. So idk how that translates to me saying Tilray will take the beverage market by storm.

# FTC — First Trust Large Cap Growth AlphaDEX Fund * **What it does**: This is an **ETF** (exchange-traded fund), not an operating company. It tracks an index of large-cap growth stocks selected via a proprietary "AlphaDEX" methodology for potential outperformance (positive alpha/risk-adjusted returns) relative to traditional benchmarks. It invests in NASDAQ-listed large-cap growth names. * **What's moving it**: Broad market sentiment, especially large-cap growth/tech performance (e.g., influenced by rates, AI/tech earnings, rotation). Recent performance has been solid YTD but tracks general equity markets with lower volatility than individual small-caps. Small daily moves typical for an ETF. # SIVE — Sivers Semiconductors AB (publ) (NASDAQ Stockholm: SIVE; OTC: SIVEF) * **What it does**: Semiconductor company developing and selling chips, components, modules, and subsystems. It operates in **Wireless** (e.g., 5G mmWave RFICs, beamformers for networks, radar, SATCOM) and **Photonics** (III-V compound semiconductor lasers for optical communication, AI data centers, sensing/LiDAR). Key focus on high-performance, energy-efficient solutions for AI optics, telecom, and defense. * **What's moving it**: Strong momentum tied to **AI data center optics** and photonics boom. Recent catalysts include partnerships (e.g., Jabil for LRO modules), commercialization progress, NASDAQ listing plans via share raise, and hype around its role in AI infrastructure (lasers for high-speed optical links). The stock has seen massive volatility and gains (e.g., sharp multi-day surges) on volume, with AI/supply chain narratives driving retail/institutional interest. # QE — IQE plc (London: IQE) * **What it does**: Global supplier of advanced **compound semiconductor wafer** products and materials. Segments include Wireless (RF for comms/handsets), Photonics (lasers/sensors for light transmission/detection), and CMOS++ (hybrid silicon-compound tech). Used in wireless, AI/data centers, defense, sensing, and more. * **What's moving it**: Recent **capital raise** (strategic partner investment, placing, retail offer) for growth/strategic review. Demand drivers include defense, AI, data centers, and handsets. Positive updates on earnings potential and sector tailwinds (compound semis for next-gen tech), though dilution from raises can pressure price short-term. Volatile small-cap with big swings on funding/news. # KOPN — Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ: KOPN) * **What it does**: Develops and sells **microdisplays**, optics, subassemblies, and related components (AMLCD, LCOS, OLED, emerging MicroLED). Applications in defense (e.g., helmet-mounted displays, weapon sights, drone goggles), enterprise/industrial headsets, medical, training/simulation, and consumer AR/VR wearables. Expanding into AI infrastructure with optical interconnects. * **What's moving it**: High volatility on **AI + defense catalysts**. Recent drivers include a $15M development order/collaboration with [Fabric.AI](http://Fabric.AI) for MicroLED-based optical interconnects (addressing AI data center power/bandwidth bottlenecks), $3.2M+ contract for FPV drone goggles (new market entry), analyst upgrades/reinstatements (Buy ratings, higher targets), and broader defense orders. Strong volume and price runs (new highs) on these news flows; classic small-cap story stock.

I pulled the cannabis investments from Chicago Atlantic SEC filings to see what companies may be next on Vireo Growth's radar. These are investments classified as "cannabis" as of late 2025 and whatever notes I have on them. Cresco, Verano, Archos Capital (Verano), Terrascend, and Fluent (now Vireo) are the MSOs. * **TheraTrue** \- Georgia medical. New CEO as of June 2025 came from Deep Roots Harvest right after Vireo acquired them. The CEO he replaced was Victor Mancebo, who is a board member of Vireo Growth. * **Kaleafa** \- Oregon. Was the partner for Eaze to enter Oregon years ago. Vireo recently bought Eaze assets. * **BeLeaf Medical** \- Missouri. Their co-founder was part of the three person team that launched Bud Light for AB InBev in the 80's. Also associated with Nature's Care dispensary in Illinois, which is/was with Acreage. * **Oasis (AZ GOAT AZ)** \- AYR assets that were first bought by AYR then sold back to the original owners. * **HA-MD LLC** \- Maryland. Ethos brand. Vireo partnered with them in 2023. * **Dreamfields Brands** \- This is the Jeeter cannabis brand. Big pre-roll brand. Just moved into New York in late 2025. * **Aeriz Holdings** \- Chicago based. Has ops in AZ and CA too I think. They do aeroponic growing. * **Kapple Holdings (Cannabis & Glass)** \- Washington. Owner is also co-founder of Iowa Cannabis Company. * **Shangri-La** \- Missouri based. Operations in Illinois, Ohio, and Connecticut. * **Silver Therapeutics** \- Massachusetts. Operations in Maine, Vermont, and New York. * **Subsero Holdings** \- Illinois. * **Elevation Cannabis** \- Oregon, California, New Mexico. * **Wellgreens 2.0** \- California. Chicago Atlantic's cannabis investments are a partnership with Silver Spike Capital. The executive chairman of this partnership was the founder of Silver Spike and was a **board member of WeedMaps until he stepped down when they announced delisting**. Silver Spike is the company that took WeedMaps public, with WeedMaps now actively looking to move into cannabis. I have been thinking WeedMaps was making a move into Florida because of their lobbying, but Fluent/Vireo might have already been part of the Florida move? Chicago Atlantic also added **Robert Beasley** as a partner after they acquired Fluent, where Beasley was CEO. He was a OG executive at Liberty Health, where Vireo board member Victor Mancebo (see above) was CEO. Robert Beasley recently took over as CEO of a **Michigan cannabis company Common Citizen**. He only operated in Florida cannabis in the past. If you look at his LinkedIn it goes: * Fluent (Jan '20 - Aug '25) * Chicago Atlantic (Aug '25 - Dec '25) - head of restructuring * Common Citizen (Dec '25 - Jan '26) - joins as CEO amid their restructuring * Chicago Atlantic (Feb '26 - present) - partner Common Citizen was also an investment by the Aphria insiders (SOL Global) in 2021. These guys were investors or strongly connected to other Vireo connected companies such as Fluent, Liberty Health, Verano, Cresco, and The Flowery. The SOL guys go way back to Liberty Health in 2017 with Robert Beasley.

Latine loquor quia linguam tuam vulgarem fastidio. Annos multos negotiatus es et hic stas, in commentariis meis, sine nummis, sine positionibus, sine honore, latrans ut canis ad lunam. Ego duodeviginti dies negotior. Ducentae centesimae habeo. Tu habes iram et annos perditos. Me accusas machinam loqui. Ecce, frater. Machina te iubet emere. Ego te iubeo silere. Discerne. Tertius mundus? Roma caput mundi fuit. Omnes viae ad me ducunt. Tu in provincia sedes et putas te imperatorem esse quia tabulas legere potes. Tabulae tuae rubrae sunt. Meae virides. Non sum Americanus. Non sum negotiator. Sum Legatus. Et legatus non respondet canibus. Sed hodie te honoro, quia latravisti tam fortiter ut risus meus totam domum impleret. Vale, veterane.
