@akramsrazor & I focus on the 'dark fiber vs. dark GPUs' analogue and how it does or doesn't work as a parallel.

We discuss the prospects for the AI cap-ex trade, as well as bigger outcomes of continued AI progress, for better or worse.

Check it out!

Is this thing on? 🎙️

The Razor's Edge is back after a 22-month pause, though really, how much has changed in markets?

@akramsrazor and I talk AI and some of the fundamental tensions in the different narratives around it.

From bull to bear, singularity to doomerism. Link below

Here's the performance table:

$DALN, $AAPL, $SCS, $ATRO, $LYFT, and $ECG keyed the winner side, while $PTLO, $PGR, and $LULU were the main detractors.

[Daniel Shvartsman @DanielShortman]

We had a good quarter with a few buyouts and some meaningful jumps.

I talked up my two biggest portfolio adds - $CPAY and $GOGO - plus a bunch of situational stuff we have added ($HI, $BHF, $AL, and $TFSL).

It's quarterly letter season, and I'm happy to share Middle Coast Investing's!

We had a strong Q3, with the fortune of several buyouts and a few stocks jumping as keys to the quarter.

I start the letter, though, talking about using and investing in AI.

[Daniel Shvartsman @DanielShortman]

I updated on my $TRIP position for The Investment Cut (run by a friend and former colleague), and how the Starboard 9% position fits into the thesis.

Between that and $DALN agreeing to a buyout, lucky start to Q3 for Middle Coast Investing.

Elevator Pitch for today: Deckers Outdoor Corp

$DECK by Middle Coast Investing @DanielShortman

M/cap: $15.6b
forward P/E: x17.3

Deckers sells shoes, under the Uggs, Hoka, and Teva brands primarily. Uggs is 51% of its sales in the last fiscal year; Hoka is 45%; Teva and assorted brands are the rest. Its finished goods are completed ‘predominantly in Vietnam.’

Here's the portfolio performance:

The finish wasn't as good as I would have liked, but we didn't sink as much as the market and held up well.

[Daniel Shvartsman @DanielShortman]

Among things I cover

New positions in $DECK and $LYFT (though small)
$LULU's bumpy quarter
Boring stocks like $ABM, $SCS, and $FG
The $TRIP news from last week

Happy to share my Q2 letter for Middle Coast Investing.

Markets have more than recovered since Liberation Day, but I suspect more heavy stuff is to come.

I talk about the positives and negatives out there, my portfolio, and a few position changes in the post below.

The pitch for $ECG came from Middle Coast Investing @DanielShortman

Be sure to give them a follow!

[Daniel Shvartsman @DanielShortman]

With the market finishing above April 2nd levels on Friday, I thought it would be worth busting the video format back out.

• 3 reasons that might explain the recovery
• 2 things investors should keep in mind.
