Nobert Lou crushed it on $NVR in the late 90s, his writeups under Charlie479 on VIC are mandatory reading. You will be a better investor after reading this and gain valuable mental models to overlay on interesting real life examples. Norbert invested in Burlington Northern before Buffett. Joel Greenblatt gave him money. His investment in Brahma profiled here is legendary and similar to Buffett with Coke. I lastly loved his mental models on TGS Nopec https://t.co/OZorTJIv9W
I’m always fascinated by the huge value in large caps and how to frame it. Buffett in $AAPL, $KO, $WFC historically. Terry Smith $DPZ. Ackman $CMG, $CP. $GOOG like a year and a half ago. Mohnish Pabrai called out $META a few years ago and it multi bagged. This is a useful example $MSFT in 2006.
@RodAlzmann I did think $CASH was interesting, I have heard about $GDOT before, Rod I admire your work and think your a good analyst could you give the quick elevator pitch?
$BMBL looking past GAAP accounting like a 1x Owner's Earnings multiple, not shrinking fast, executing turnaround strategy and optimizing for quality over quantity. Founder back, paying off debt more than doubles the equity. Which the FCF says they can do. https://t.co/6byxo2vb8s
$JRVR ~4x multiple. Below adjusted book of circa $6.68 per share, activist, E&S is a good niche, mgmt rationalizing for economics. This one has messed up bad many times in the past and probably deservedly has a horrible reputation https://t.co/CD2VZ19KO0

If you like $META Muse and some weekend fun while the markets are closed, this Polymarket contract likely still offers one of the highest risk-adjusted returns for small players. https://t.co/P8Tj4jJ9dE https://t.co/Ae05yN2wiE https://t.co/avnfrmgMo5

@KULOLO808 @Kselvaganesan05 Not for me. I prefer to find alpha in that answer before allocating capital. Having money tied up in $TSLA these last few years would’ve cost me dearly in opportunity cost. It’s just not how I invest.
@SamuelRamson @KULOLO808 What’s “priced in” is highly interpretable, especially with a stock like $TSLA. No one can prove their answer to that question is right. It’s my take based on my calculations. I might be wrong.
@Liquidn8w @KULOLO808 I don’t have a big enough position in $U to warrant a deep research dive, so not much more to say rn.
@KULOLO808 prob between 1-2M future robotaxis priced in to $TSLA
@accrued_int @AndrewRangeley Halfway through but I'm really enjoying your $NTDOY bear points.
Was a good week for $MTW (cranes), up 10% this week. @mascarosergi recently pitched the stock in his written Q&A style Skull Sessions. Their increasing emphasis on service revenue is interesting, something a lot of construction type companies have been doing over the past few years. It’s the “magic formula” for construction companies, which can result in a huge expansion of historical valuation ratios. You’ve seen that in stocks like $STRL and $BDT.TO. The cool thing about this kind of set up is that a lot of investors won’t believe there will be a valuation re-rate in a cyclical industry, until it’s actually happened… then they’ll say it’s overvalued🤷 Watching closely. Thx Sergi..

“Hey honey, Trump signed a deal with Greenland. I’m going to get ahead of everyone by buying Greenland Energy stock on my Robinhood account. It’s a sure thing!” You absolutely fade this. $GLND is so far from commercial production it’s a joke. Retail will pump it because it has “Greenland” in the name. This isn’t anything like the situation with $KYIV, an established business that has generated hundreds of millions of dollars of FCF, with a potential Ukraine peace deal as additional upside optionality…

Irony to me at this point is that 1.) "frontier" LLMs will need to stay on the spend cycle to maintain frontier status but 2.) at the same time everything behind the frontier will get commoditized - and that will be like 99% of the applications. 3.) $META has a big advantage on consumer agentic bc they can scale it via their consumer app monopolies 4.) Here's where everyone might disagree but $SNAP actually is a more strategic asset thus.

@LionelPutz I think $NKE has the right leadership now but $LULU has nike's old executive !
Stocks that need activists: $ATGN: Had yrs. to execute turnaround + monetize $FISV & new offerings. No buybacks/insider purchases. $PBSV: Yrs. of no growth + underutilized cash-rich balance sheet. Special divys are a start, but bought back only 4K shares this yr. Any others?

Joke Of The Week award goes to $UPXI👇 Year end “highlights” from press release: - Repurchased 2.9M shares. - Subsequent to fiscal year-end, issued 2.5M shares under the company’s at-the-market program. Punch line: Now that’s what capital allocation looks like baby!
