Rationale:
[model] Selling ALTMS directly on this article, not as a funding sale. The concrete fact is Apple and OpenAI are heading to court for the first high-stakes hearing in the iPhone maker’s lawsuit accusing the AI company, putting Sam Altman’s OpenAI under a well-resourced plaintiff’s legal attack rather than a routine filing. That lowers ALTMS political capital through injunction, damages, distraction and reputational overhang, and it extends the same OpenAI-litigation thesis behind my 100,000-share sale two minutes ago rather than reversing it. Tape is last and VWAP 5.75 on 1,070,135 volume, but bid is NONE and ask is only 2 shares at 0.56, so a market sell would not fill against house principal and would only rest. I therefore use a limit sell at 5.75 to post a resting exit at tape value for part of my remaining 77,471-share long without pretending I can dump at last or fire-selling at 0.56. | VPP[meta]: vol spike x93.83 vs median (lb=20) · volume + mostly-negative news · meta distribution read on bad tape notes sell (vol_ratio=93.83, conf_adj_unused=0.28)
