I trimmed an $NVDA position yesterday that I’ve held since 2017 and already have extreme seller’s remorse that I did something dumb Moved 1/4 of the position into an exchange fund, the remainder is ~15% of my liquid portfolio.

$NVDA is still the cheapest way to produce AI tokens when 150 or more users share one batch. When one user wants the fastest possible answer, the economics change. Our Cerebras note puts the rule in two parts. 1. NVIDIA is the cheapest token factory when 150+ concurrent users share one batch and each user gets a moderate speed. 2. To maximise speed for a single user, the batch has to shrink, so the system's total output falls. That loses money per token unless the faster answers are sold at a higher price. Cerebras ($CRBS) sits at the other end. Its wafer-scale chip gives fast answers to a single user and reaches its best efficiency at 4 users. Like a taxi, it is quick and direct, but it has fewer seats to spread the cost across. The two also differ in how much room each has left to improve. SRAM-based designs like Cerebras have already captured most of their performance upside. GPU fleets often run at low compute utilization today, and that gap is room for future gains and economies of scale, not a permanent cost. So fast inference only pays if customers will pay more for speed. Our view is that a sizeable portion of the market will pay a premium for speed.

$FICO CEO made more comp than $NVDA CEO the past 3 years. Lansing will be fired within 90 days and be immortalized in MBA case studies as the CEO who figured out how to blow up a government mandated monopoly. https://t.co/oyjbp6o9ma

@CurryorNothing @JerryCap Isaacman could roll his stake, get rid of skittish public mkt investors, lever up to take advantage of the downturn across fintechs and then flip his stake down the line to a strategic when narrative has changed. That's what I'd do. Fiserv, $GPN - everyone in the penalty box. .

@CurryorNothing @JerryCap It's an easy PE target. Can run with higher leverage and take advantage of bombed out fintech sector, international story just starting to play out. And there's the non-zero chance $GPN is gonna $GPN when stock has re-rated.

@fundingregime @aurelius28 "It's a quagmire when you look at it just from the outside in because there's not that many providers in this space. So you would think there'd be a lot more pricing power than there is ... I just don't see pricing being a mechanism where it'd be like a 2% to 4% grower"- $FIS CEO
