Our read

Examples

Explain it like I'm 13

Paulson & Co. Inc. helps run Thryv Holdings, Inc.. Spending $2.5 million of their own money on the company's stock is like a coach buying a big stack of tickets to their own team's games: it suggests they think the team will do well. It is not a promise, and insiders can be wrong.
