43% of S&P 500 market cap now under FTC/DoJ antitrust investigation: BofA

(NVDA, AMZN, META, GOOG, TSLA, JPM, UNH, V, MA, WMT, KO, PEP, ADBE, etc).

@gvanhp Gross margin not 80%, they throw support costs in opex, it’s more like 70%, which is still good. Customer retention numbers reported are very misleading. Bad retention in a big market is only ok for so long. They spent $50m on buybacks and it wasn’t enough to lower share count.

[TheMonopolyPortfolio @MonopolyHoldco]

@RahulSetty_ Any thoughts on customer retention? They advertise 85% in the deck but when you read the footnote that's only for cohort who has been there longer than 2 years. That seems scary. How does that compare to other consumer subscriptions like netflix? Is it good or bad?

@CJ0pp3l Wouldn’t mind seeing a smaller number of large deals

[TheMonopolyPortfolio @MonopolyHoldco]

@BarrySchwartzBW Buyback the shares they are issuing to acquire matterport? Should have just done an all cash deal in the first place. Too many companies for them to buy. They won’t buyback shares until the year 2030.

$CSGP vs Realtor

“The numbers are clear. The numbers are verified — we have 156 million unique monthly visits for our Homes network and they have 72 million, so we are about 84 million ahead of them in monthly visitors and that is a nine alarm fire for them. That is a big problem,” Florance said

@arny_trezzi I think the list of auto related companies that $TSLA could either kill or materially disrupt is quite large 😳

Peter Thiel on $NVDA

“The obvious monopoly is Nvidia, but it doesn’t seem that durable. If you thought Nvidia was as durable as Google, the stock is really cheap and you should buy it like crazy.”

Asking prices for private market SaaS businesses getting slashed

[TheMonopolyPortfolio @MonopolyHoldco]

@BarrySchwartzBW Couldn’t watch more than one or two holes of that. It would be a 9 hr game.

@TechFundies Well said 👏

@StockMarketNerd Easy to own (and buy right now) not easy to understand how they come up with the names for their AI products - Rufus, Metis, Lex 🤷‍♂️

@jasonlk Does there need to be a bullet for red flags around accounting? Think that’s a company specific issue vs industry.

@Dragonride98333 @burrytracker Institutional investors have been piling into both MFR and SFR over the last 5 years. There have been huge benefits to NOI from software adoption, think those benefits will continue but at a slower/smaller rate.
