Google is a great example, they have a 25 year track record of an average of 32% ROIC. I would trust their continued investments over buybacks

I’m not a bear. Think everyone is long the same stocks. But some have more exposure than others. I’m definitely not a bull either. My opinion is stay diversified, invested and dollar cost avg.
How far have the bears fallen? Isn’t the S&P like 2% from ATH. LOL. Nothing wrong with rotations.
I bought GOOGL leaps on the earnings dip. GOOGL is heading to $500.
no way
I equate it to the early internet times. Also, every major bank I know is full on with 'in mode' for AI
a white collar bloodbath is coming imho
Just remember what happened in early internet times…very hard to pick the winners and losers. We also didn’t have to deal with the Chinese back then and now they are casting serious doubt on whether OpenAI and Anthropic are worth the valuation. The second data center overcapacity becomes an issue there will be carnage.
You have any thoughts on Apnimed IPO? Could it be the next MANE (which I’m still pissed I didn’t buy)?
I think Apnimed looks really good. It's drug has strong data which should lead to FDA approval in Feb. They already raised $150m in debt financing and now another $160m'ish with the IPO. Plenty of cash to launch the product. I'm iffy about all IPO and normally wait to buy the dip, but perhaps buy a 1/2 position of IPO shares and you can add if it dips?
Thanks for the feedback - I’ll probably dip my toe in the water with small IPO allocation.
you have any thoughts on Neffy ((SPRY)? It was supposed to put the EpiPen out of business but looks like the old CEO and commercial team were clowns. New leadership. SPRY plummeted recently due to payer/distribution issues. Seems like an amazing product - who would choose needle over nasal spray? Thinking it could be turnaround play…?
Not sure I would say a bloodbath but I def see reduction in staff being replaced by series of Agentic workflows that improved productivity around repeatable work.
Still need the critical thinking, data, and context sitting over these agents as well as proofing the outputs so the human in the loop will remain.
I just see it as one person orchestrating these agents as if they are a team whereas in the past it may have been 4 people doing those jobs.
Not sure if it’s true but it’s all over Twitter from various sources so worth posting. Between his work on the GameStop madness, buying $100 million houses to knock down, his GFC work and now this, Griffin is the ultimate villain genius. I’d love to watch a documentary about him.
Caught red-handed. AGAIN! And people complain about the Roaring Kitty's of retail world? LOL.
Proves yet again market is rigged which is why most of my money is in index funds. My trading account is sucking wind although glad I unloaded a bunch of AI stuff two weeks ago. Yesterday’s mini crash was basically caused by the Whiz kid having to unwind the disaster he created as his portfolio apparently went from like $45B to $10B in a matter of weeks. And now the algos and Big Money pumping up the chips again.
Destroyed the entire stock market of South Korea so Griffin could blow up Situational Awareness. Can’t beat it
Red handed? Please explain. Shady... sure. Who isn't shady in this business?
No one forced situational to over leverage and not hedge their tail risk. It’s always the smartest ones in the room that blow up.
The problem isn't just folks like Ken Griffin. It is the people that listen to him. Spending for AI and its infrastructure isn't going to slow because of rate hikes. The people that sold their position because they heard some "expert" who is looking out for their own interests, are also to blame. Listening to all these companies, capex is not slowing down and these companies that sell chips, memories will be the first beneficiaries. I did not sell during this downturn; in fact, I bought more and lowered my cost basis.
Exactly. Most of the experts speak their book. Or speak what they want their book to look like. They manipulate the talking heads. He wanted the market to come in. He wanted volatility. He makes money on volatile markets. Not markets that only move in one direction.
Someone didn’t learn or was around for fiber optics crash. LOL
can’t blame others when you take direction bet. That’s what we call stupid longs.
MSFT back up near $450/sh. Investors willing to forgive them (temporarily at least) for being a software company. Once they stop spending so much on the data centers build out in 2029-ish maybe the PE multiple gets a boost. PE currently just below 23. Perhaps only a bird brain would think that’s cheap cheap…but many analysts do maintain price targets higher than $450…for what THAT’s worth.
Yep. This is a great listen. Shows how he may not be the smartest guy in the room but very few people will outwork him and his teams.
So the unwind is over?
I shed no tears for someone running a 4x levered portfolio.
Looks like it. Poor guy is left with a $10b port. Don’t know how he’s going to survive.
And we don't know what he started with.
I'm guessing he was still up on the trade. If KORU is any indication, he may have still been up 3x if he was in the trade for year.
That’s the reported number but no great sources on it. Their first 13f was $1.05b after four months or so, so I guess plausible
I'm being over the top, but when one of the biggest market movers does a reverse pump and dump move, I really can't complain about anyone else trying to do the same.
Brillant quarter! And AAPL will be at $400 soon. Great quarter only impacted by supply constraints. Yeah, buy the F out of that dip (just like GOOGL).
Up 11% this morning.
leading the charge on strong back to back days. Something i definitely needed.
Am I the only one that finds it crazy that David Fabor said on CNBC that he got a call about Situational Awareness problem last Saturday night? First of all, if he knew…how many others knew? Second of all, he doesn’t report on what would have been the story of Monday morning and at least allow the public to determine their portfolio risk? Instead situational awareness and Citadel wait until the Fed speaks to tank the market? The timing is not a coincidence
