• AAPL - "Apple has started trial production of the iPhone 14 and plans to mass-produce it in August, according to people familiar with the matter. Moreover, Apple has told suppliers that the initial sales of the iPhone 14 will be higher than the iPhone 13 a year ago. Apple's expectations are in line with Wall Street analysts' expectations. Today, a growing number of analysts believe that if major economies fall into recession, Apple's iPhone sales could outperform the smartphone industry as a whole."

(NYSE: GNRC), a highly promoted S&P 500 company often pitched to retail investors on CNBC as a play on home standby (back-up) (“HSBs”) and portable power generators during times of a weather crisis and power outages, Spruce Point believes shares are materially overvalued as Generac struggles to suppress core business challenges, while pivoting towards a highly speculative and unproven acquisition spree in clean energy products and services. By the Board’s own admission, Generac’s Chairman and CEO lacks the expertise to implement its strategy shift, which we believe is evident by our research which shows numerous shady M&A deals and partnership decisions" (@Asli
