HELEN OF TROY (HELE): Reset Creates Opportunity
We at the Woodworth Contrarian Fund specialize in finding buying opportunities when the market is selling. This means buying early and selling early - if you wait for the last drop of blood, they’re already dead, so to speak. Now with Q2 2026 Earnings in the rear view mirror, we think that this company is a classic contrarian value opportunity.
THE MILLEGAN MEMO: SEPTEMBER 2025
Helen of Troy (HELE) is cheap, wheat commodity corners collapse in 1871, the Woodworth Fund releases its Q3 Newsletter, and the yield curve flips back. Different centuries, same story: the market always humbles someone.

CAPITAL CALL #15: Caffeinated Finance: Shorting Kohl’s Was a Mistake. So Was Touring the Fed with Trump.
The Millegan brothers are back and caffeinated—because nothing says “financial insight” like Celsius-fueled rants about Japanese mini trucks and tariff math that would make an IRS auditor throw their 10-key out the window. We cover everything from Powell’s hostage tour of the Fed building to why Kohl’s is apparently the new GameStop (but with real estate and fewer Reddit jokes).
We unpack why small caps are lagging, how inventories are running on borrowed time, and why tariffs are just taxes in a trench coat. Helen of Troy (HELE) makes a surprise appearance as a boring beauty brand with surprisingly sharp moves—and an undervaluation that shampoo alone can’t explain. Plus: dividends get dissected, bankruptcies are booming, and we deliver a short-selling masterclass that ends with... “please stop shorting companies that own $8 billion in property.”
