| PalanTesla | I too trust Elon. Exactly as I trusted Alex Karp when I invested 30% of every penny I ever saved in 50 years into $PLTR. It has since 10X’d. The other 70% went into $TSLA and I trust Elon in exactly the same way. I am happy to wait as the next 10X is on the way by 2030 and by the way $PLTR will do another 5X in that time. | Bullish | Sun, 16 Aug 2026 23:45:52 GMT | https://x.com/PalanTesla/status/2089136593105768952 |

| hy6xdktzr9 | $ZETA + $PLTR The part I think the market is still sleeping on: Zeta isn’t just integrating Palantir. It’s putting Zeta’s data + AI inside the infrastructure serving Palantir’s enterprise customers. That distribution opportunity is barely priced into the story. | Bullish | Sun, 16 Aug 2026 23:17:05 GMT | https://x.com/hy6xdktzr9/status/2089129347156431242 |
| 2Bprofits | Weekly Watchlist: $RKLB & $MRVL 8/20 EMA cross to the upside, both flagging out. Watching for a range break above PDH. $AAPL bearish flag on the daily and 4H. Watching for a flag break below PDL. $AMD day 2 continuation above PDH. One of the strongest names last week. $PLTR watching for more consolidation, then a flag break for the next leg up. Keeping it short this week. Focus on momentum names with real volatility and avoid the chop. | Bullish | Sun, 16 Aug 2026 23:11:43 GMT | https://x.com/2Bprofits/status/2089127997789872271 |
| davey_juice | Now have 4 active updated Price targets with $24 for $NU Notice how my multiples are very low here except $PLTR $NU 13.5x $APP 15x $NVDA 17.5x $PLTR I left at 40x FCF because I think they absolutely smoke my estimates and wind up more at 30x and they’re still accelerating and I think will continue to do so for a few more quarters. But I didn’t even bake in that acceleration in my model yet. I’m waiting on a bit more data. Point being, the first 3 seem like pretty easy lay ups if they actually deliver what shareholders have become accustomed to. I’m trying to show you a high exit multiple isn’t needed if execution occurs | Bullish | Sun, 16 Aug 2026 23:08:33 GMT | https://x.com/davey_juice/status/2089127201106977108 |
