I've been thinking a lot recently about what narratives could modify the euphoric investing landscape to a more moderate or even bearish one.
Simply put I think it goes like this:
Narrative 1: "We cant spend this much anymore"
collides with
Narrative 2: "They wont let us spend this much anymore"
1 is a markets narrative, 2 is a political narrative
@jbooger91@Buhlaque I think if you want to take a view on it you have to put on your saylor hat and mentally rank strc, mstr and btc. Because the market won’t allow a happy ending for all 3 and he will have to MFK them
I did an AI study on what % of DRAM revenue Elipida accounted for within Micron. Elpida, including the former Rexchip/Taiwan DRAM capacity Micron obtained through Elpida, could be 40–60% of Micron operating earnings... so in theory standalone it would be top 5 largest companies in Japan if not close to #1.
@taobanker@stoked_on_waves I can’t even post the tickers I’m looking at now too small market cap. April 2025 was a very good time to buy corpses. I’ll look at that one thanks!
@orrdavid@AltayCapital Yea it’s not a structural growth story (hard in that industry) but also not a cyclical downturn. Purgatory and kept that way by the family who owns full control and probably are incentivized to keep the share low for estate planning
Yea I mean when you look at the failures like Pasona or digital garage they signal the opposite. I agree with you it’s probably a good long term hold but I don’t trust equity investors in Japan. They are just too bearish on domestic mgmt.
You ever look at 7937. Check out the earnings growth and raising divs. Huge net cash. The market has little cares for growing earnings and growing divs in non AI illiquid Japan
@orrdavid@AltayCapital ultimately equity investors want some type of growth. if not earnings than an improving and growing outlook on governance reform, and with the new FSA guidelines and "AI eats the world flow" we are seeing the reform trade transition to "ex growth"
@orrdavid@AltayCapital Yea I know (and held this one) I suppose its a bit extremist frame it how I did. Many companies did improve and re-rate.. but the future expectations for this to grow are likely "over" for now. Many charts look much worse than 6417... although a massive YTD drawdown there too...
@Larryjamieson_ fixed it for you.. since this is basically a really big payday loan
