re: PGEN stock -- potential solid long

Posted by TDFreak on 12/4/25 at 1:34 pm to
PGEN had a pretty gnarly drop after earnings. Insider trading had been looking good with insider buying, but there has been some big insider selling in November.

Still hoping this is trending upward over the long term after this pulback.

Its also why new cars don’t have a spare tire in the trunk anymore. Reduce the weight = more fuel efficiency.

a huge net negative for the populace.
Given the current state of the economy, it really is. There are more people competing for goods, housing, cars, services...the cost of everything goes up. But because they are getting paid a lot less that those jobs used to command, everyone's salary in the field becomes depressed. So costs go up while wages stagnate.

There really are people here in the US who can do this work. It's a myth perpetuated by the major corporations to increase profit margins.

Also, doesn't it seem weird that if the H1B is to bring in professionals from around the world to work in a "specialty occupation", there isn't more diversity in the foreign labor pool? How come its 99.9% Indian? Why aren't there any specialists coming here from Argentina, Madagascar, Poland, Jordan, Greece, Norway, or the Philippines? Isn't it weird it's only folks from a really poor, overpopulated nation who desperately want to escape and will gladly work for peanuts?
I'm hopeful based on what the folks in the know are saying about Jon since the announcement. The fact SOS and Urban are backing this guy makes me feel better. And I hope they use their network to give CJS all the help he can get. Would love an 8-4 season in Year 1.

We had to look over a lot more stuff with Billy than with Jon at this time, but I still backed the Billy hire. What I mean by that is how Billy was dismissed by Dabo (who then won a natty with a better offense), and then bounced around places with his only success from riding Saban's coattails. Somehow, his ULL success blinded Scott.

I assumed he had a huge mess to clean-up after Dan and shrugged-off the mounting losses. But the mistakes and bonehead plays continued. BIlly stole defeat from the jaws of victory too many times.

Jon seems more put together and driven. Hopefully that equates to wins.

I still despise Scott.

85% chance of a .25 cut in Dec. that's the expectation

It has to have gone up after today's jobs release.

Tariffs not having a big impact, housing/rent costs going down, sluggish jobs. Fed will surely cut.

A jumbo would be awesome but not happening.

Also: I believe the Saudi's are helping keep oil prices low to help Trump get his rate cuts through. Once the cuts are done, I think oil is going to have a big year in 2026.
Florida's coaching staff is beginning to look like Kentucky's staff.
Top-25 ranked defense every other year???

If we were going to raid Kentucky for a DC, I would have wanted Stoops.

This is not an elite hire.


ETA: His top-25 ranked defense gave up 41 points to Louisville this past weekend!!! :yack:

Stricklin was the associate AD at kentucky when sumrall was a grad assistant at kentucky. Thats how these two knew each other. Very few know that.
Oh, great.

Funny. Scott didn't bring that up at the presser.


What's next? Hal Mumme as OC?
Stricklin in damage control mode. Sumrall is a good hire, but I don’t believe a single word coming out of SS mouth.
And to think we could have been bombing these drug runners and saving American lives all this time.
There’s a lot we don’t know. But it seems pretty clear that Scott Stricklin is a dope. More like a small-minded control freak who didn’t like that he couldn’t control Lane like he did (poorly) with Billy.

It’s also clear Scott is cheap and likes going to the bargain bin for coaches.

Now, this all could be negative press from Kiffin/Sexton since UF hired one of Clint Dowdle’s guys instead of Jimmy’s.
Oh look! He Gator chomped coming off the plane! That seals the deal for me!

LET'S RIDE!!!!!!

You gotta look at the "Revision History" to see it

My favorite wiki editor comment:

"tf is up with all these additions recently??"



Saving you the trouble, here are some good revisions that were scrubbed:
quote:

'''Scott Stricklin''' (born May 8, 1970) is an American college athletics administrator who is single handedly destroying Florida football.
quote:

He is widely regarded as the worst athletic director in the history of the University of Florida and responsible for the lane Kiffin debacle.

It’s widely known he was hired to sabotage the Florida football program with his multiple horrible hirings

I forgot about that. It was Brent Pease and Roper who stunk it up offensively for Muschamp. If only Charlie had stayed.

And Muschamp still had a winning conference record! Unlink Billy the clown.

Just getting a decent OC and not having an IQ of 50 when it comes to game mgmt would be big improvements over Napier.


For those who remember, we all thought Muschamp was going places when he hired Charlie Weis. Didn't happen.
The Florida Gators send you their well wishes.
