1 thought on “Thread Trail: Navigating the Global Safety Landscape”

  1. One of those companies where everything looks great but somehow the price refuses to reflect that. I finally exited out of frustration last week at around 1090 levels. It looks like there is a large shareholder who keeps selling at regular intervals which keeps the prices down.

    I am still keeping this on my watchlist though.

    Thanks for the great work, as always!
