The market's greatest gift this year to me was when $EVC posted a killer Q2 and the market sold it off as a dying radio company. It allowed me to buy even more when the piggies were panicking. Volatility is the greatest gift to active fundamental investors. People's brains have been fried from constant dopamine releases from social media and need instant gratification. No one can hold a business for the long term anymore. If you can, that is your competitive edge.

From my friend Mr. X: As Anthropic apparently starts their road show, which I would call “We Work Part Deux.” Remember, as I said before, We Work cut their valuation 3x, still couldn’t get it done, and then eventually ended up bankrupt. And in my view, We Work and Adam Neumann had better governance and were a better deal, for a variety of reasons. And that was before everything started coming undone and prior to policy heading in the wrong direction and prior to the head of the central bank of NVDA, who is also financing them, was caught canoodling with a Chinese spy. This is why it does not work. This is not .COM or railroads. The $ are being spend on an incredibly dis-economic technology that will decay as opposed to sticking around. This is rapidly depreciating immature broken software and compute that is the equivalent of UNIX, SPARC, and VAX or a Mainframe. Then, the more they are spending, the less they are getting. It is sort of like the impact of every incremental dollar of debt on GDP, very diminishing marginal returns. There is no scaling. If the underlying technology does the opposite of scaling, the business cannot scale. Said simply, cost per unit is going way up (Anthropic’s S-1 tells you this too), revenue per unit is plummeting.

$life anyone long? seems like the incremental margins could rapidly decouple as business becomes more 3rd party. also wondering what their ultimate edge is. if they are just providing a technological convenience to insurance providers, seems like a weaker customer value prop. if they have some secret sauce for generating great insurance terms quickly, that would be a bit better. i don't know a lot about how it all works and the incentives they have vs incentives that insurers have but one thing for sure is that profits are on trend to grow much much slower than revenues and it's trading at a very high multiple. if anything goes wrong with rev, the stock could collapse. even in the last quarter they beat and raised and the stock went down. very interesting.
