What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorInvesting.com reports Stifel has raised its price target on Zscaler, citing AI-driven demand for cybersecurity.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorJoining us is a retail trader who bet the other way.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPlease welcome Tammy Lou Fenwick, a fictional retail trader from the Subreddit Basement Collective. Tammy, you were short Zscaler. Explain yourself.

  4. Tammy Lou FenwickHank, I did my own research. I read one headline, a fortune cookie, and my horoscope. All three said security stocks were cooked.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorStifel says the opposite. They see AI making security demand stronger. What did your horoscope say about that?

  6. Tammy Lou FenwickIt said Mercury is in retrograde, which I assumed meant the stock was too. Turns out Mercury was just in my margin account.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI see. And how much of your savings is in this position? Roughly.

  8. Tammy Lou FenwickHank, I sold my kayak, my air fryer, and my mother's good casserole dish. I'm now cooking dinner in a hubcap.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is a deeply upsetting amount of detail. Did anyone advise you against this trade?

  10. Tammy Lou FenwickMy cat. He looked at the chart and walked out. I should have followed him. He's doing great now, living at my neighbor's.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo your cat bailed, your kayak is gone, and Stifel is bullish. What is the plan?

  12. Tammy Lou FenwickI'm doubling down, Hank. If the target goes up, that just means the fall is further. It's called gravity investing. I invented it. Today.

  13. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe'll have to leave it there. BBN does not endorse gravity investing, hubcap cooking, or anything your cat decides.
