To read the full Motion For Summary Judgment click here or view on Scribd below with the statement of facts and exhibits.

To say this enforcement action is unprecedented is a gross understatement. Indeed, the Commission’s case, taken after years of lobbying by Ligand and its counsel, is not only frivolous but if not disposed of on summary judgment, it will have a dangerously chilling impact given its brazen attack on the First Amendment"

Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW) Stock Nosedives, Shake Shack (NYSE: SHAK) Tumbles

AMD PANW SHAK chartShares of Palo Alto Networks Inc. (NYSE: PANW), dove more than 14 percent in after-hours trading Monday after the security-software company reported weaker sales growth than previously expected and cut its Q3 and FY20 guidance.

"Fiscal second-quarter revenue was below our expectations primarily as a result of continued impact of sales incentives related to our Next-Generation Security products from our prior fiscal year..." said Chief Executive Nikesh Arora in today's earnings release.

Generating Uncorrelated Alpha

"...management’s philosophy is mainly uncorrelated to the broader market indexes"

Lemelson Capital Management (LCM) has earned a reputation for being successful on both the short and long sides, irrespective of the broader market indexes.

The firm's interim FYE 2019 Amvona Fund, LP investor letter, released in late January 2020 stated:

TSLA IXIC chart

...some of The Fund’s highest rates of return were achieved on short positions, bearing out once again, that management’s philosophy is mainly uncorrelated to the broader market indexes. In 2020 management believes it will be able to execute investment ideas, in particular, short ideas, more effectively."

Last week as markets plummeted, largely on news of the spreading Coronavirus, shares of Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) rocketed higher.   LCM began shorting the company on January 21, 2020 and continued shorting through yesterday, with the bulk of the short sales executed late in the day yesterday, February 4, 2020, at an average price per share that day of ~$946. 

Tesla is now The Amvona Fund, LP's second-largest (and profitable) short position, behind Advanced Micro Devices, (NASDAQ: AMD), a short position management also significantly increased yesterday and intends to continue to short.

Tesla shares, after peaking yesterday at over $968 per share, began to plunge just after LCM completed its last short sales and shortly before the market closed.   Today as the broader market indexes jumped, shares of Tesla continued to collapse, shedding as much as 15 percent of their value in the first hour of trading.  Shares of Chipotle Mexican Grill  (NYSE: CMG), The Amvona Fund's third-largest short positions, also sank as much as 3 percent.

Lemelson Called for Removal of Top WWE Executives, Company Capitulates

‘Change was necessary,’ 

World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ: WWE) just fired two top executives, including co-president, George Barrios after 2019 earnings came in at the low end of estimates, with CEO Vince McMahon commenting "Change was necessary."  The company's stock subsequently plunged as much as 24 percent.

Lemelson Capital Management (LCM) previously called for the replacement of WWE's executive management team (specifically Barrios) or a sale of the company.  In late 2016, McMahon acknowledged he was "Open to anything," when asked about a potential take over.

These changes follow the recent departure of Geospace Technologies (NASDAQ: GEOS) CFO after Lemelson had also called for his removal.

On December 22, 2014, in a live interview on Benzinga, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Lemelson, stated:

There was evidence if you know anything about the leadership, that they were probably not going to deliver... under George Barrios, the company has consistently lost money for the last three or four years, free cash flow, eps, all in big trouble... if and when there is a change in the ledership of that company, there's a potential for the unlocking of tremendous value..."
