#Southeast Asia Logistics Where there used to be dozens of players, now there's just two that matter - Shopee Express, and J&T (>60% combined market share). In a high fixed cost business, Scale > Order Density (across both Geography x Time) > Lowest Cost per Parcel = Competitive Moat. Parcel delivery cost has declined -45% over 4 years. h/t @momentumasia. $SE $1519.HK

Continuation vehicles were a big thing in '25 as many private equity firms struggled to find exits for portcos. But they're not new. In '21, Platinum Equity dumped its portco United Site Services into a CV invested in by Fortress, $ARES & $BX. How'd that turn out? Well, sheeyit.

@UnHedgedChatter @InvestSpecial @Wexboy_Value $AS, owner of Arc'teryx & 9 other brands trades at more than 3x sales. $CLAR, which would fit perfectly into AS's portfolio trades at less than 0.5x sales and is exploring strategic alts. 🤷‍♂️

Interesting framing for $NN. $95 is pretty far above my upside case, but agree the $T / FirstNet arrangement is interesting context, despite some obvious differences. https://t.co/b3FsHVkivk

@FishOnCapital IMHO best to view this in context of the pod w/ the banker from the 600 MHz. To paraphrase, all of the likely buyers wanted the 600, but AT&T won b/c they were able to move fastest. I suspect $VZ, $TMUS & others will be ready to move fast for $NN's 900. https://t.co/5gRpmej4Bk

Thinking more about this, the timing feels increasingly closer: The market concentration is extreme: Mag 7 + $AVGO sits at a combined market cap of $18 Trillion. Contrast that with the entire Mid/Small-Cap universe: S&P 400 (Mid): $3T $MDY S&P 600 (Small): $1.4T $IJR Russell 2000: $2.8T $IWM A 10% shift in allocation ($1.8T) from Big Tech could easily double the market cap of these mid/small-cap indexes. It's not a new insight, but with growing AI bubble nervousness in market participants and rising FED rate cut expectations extending into 2026, the potential for this capital shift is getting compelling. #GreatRotation #SmallCaps #MidCaps #MarketTiming
