Fortune-500 Engineer managing $1M+ ๐I break down moats so you can invest in tech without hype๐คFollow my journey to a multi-million dollar portfolio ๐ต
1,000 followers. Thank you to everyone for following along on my journey to a multi-million dollar portfolio.
I started this account to share real observations from a decade working inside Fortune 500 tech companies alongside my graduate background in AI.
As promised, here is my updated high-conviction personal portfolio layout (excludes retirement accounts all in S&P 500 ETFs):
$UBER (20%) ๐๐ฒ
Dominating the global mobility and delivery layer. The compounding network effects across rideshare and logistics create an unmatched moat as autonomous integration accelerates.
$AUR (20%) ๐
The frontrunner in autonomous freight. Their L4 platform is complete and they are actively scaling commercial truck fleets ($1T TAM) on the road this year.
$MU / $DRAM (30%) ๐ง
Hardware infrastructure is the foundational bottleneck of this Ai tech cycle. Memory demand is compounding rapidly.
$RDDT (10%) ๐๐ฌ
Massive user engagement paired with a highly capital-efficient business model. It is rapidly turning into a dominant platform for authentic attention, and Reddit's data will be the "oil" for the Ai era.
Other (20%) ๐ก
Tactical allocations with $IREN making up a decent chunk.
I am pinning this here to track the progress openly over the coming quarters. If you want to track the intersection of AI, tech infrastructure, and market realities, hit follow and let's build wealth together.
-T.E.E.
Solid news from $AUR today. Looks like the thesis is continuing to play out?
Charger's partnership with Aurora along Laredo corridor earlier this year immediately showed operational benefits, so now they are scaling to 500 trucks.
I continue to believe that this flywheel will accelerate. Freight companies will not let their competitors win, so logically they will also likely move their fleets to players like $AUR $KDK Waabi as well to stay competitive.
Autonomous freight has astronomical growth ahead of it in the years ahead. Lots of room for multiple winners, with Aurora likely leading the pack.
@Sallvillano Yes though different market. Their market is supervised. They are no where close to unsupervised for trucks. Great trucks for freight companies that want to electrify and used supervised FSD. I also have shares in $TSLA as well :)
@ldn_investor93@epnohelty I agree with this. I would like more numbers from management. So far, we've had good numbers regarding number of cities $UBER is expanding to, but not too many hard numbers on number of AV trips per city and number of vehicles.
@AIStockSavvy I'm pretty shocked we are at $135 for $RDDT. Such a huge buying opportunity. So many good deals in the market right now... Today they appear to have been affected by the Anthropic ipo paperwork.
@StockSavvyShay Pretty much why I am holding $MYU and $DRAM as a long term play for robotics. AVs and humanoids will cause an exponential demand for RAM...
Glad $UBER didnโt follow through with the $CART acquisition.
Though I hope they took advantage of the share buybacks this past week with all the weakness in share price ๐
Looking forward to the upcoming earnings, which will continue to provide proof on the impact of AVs. Particularly I am interested to see how they are faring in Austin.
$UBER Fell 3.4% on A deal it reportedly walked away from
Friday: The Information reports $CART is exploring a sale and held talks with Uber and $DASH.
$CART +9.2%
$UBER -3.4%
$DASH -3.5%
Then after the close, Bloomberg: Uber walked away. The two sides aren't talking anymore. DoorDash talks were described as preliminary.
Lovely.
Uber already agreed in July to buy Delivery Hero for ~$14.8B. Stacking a ~$12B grocery company and an antitrust fight on top of that is a lot for one integration team.
And Uber is already taking grocery share from Instacart from the outside.
Thank you, next.
@JackedOnMargin Buy backs is to benefit shareholders, which is the duty of a public company. Itโs not meant to improve a business. Companies take advantage of dislocated price action and buy back shares when cheap. $APPL and $NVDA are huge buyers, which contributes to their strong performance.
Yes pretty much. $NVDA wants to make the most money by selling chips to everyone. Therefore their best interest is for the whole AV ecosystem to win today, rather than let a single winner take the whole
market. As a result, they are heavy supporters of $UBER as the ultimate supply and demand aggregator.
@TheWiseIC@outerbridgecap Agreed. Iโve been reading that app is going up as well, which is likely people converting from web to app. This would be great news if confirmed during earnings ๐
Instacart might get acquired ๐
Was thinking this was a possibility as well. Lots of consolidation in the industry since acquisitions are much easier under the Trump administration. Companies are taken advantage of this while they can. Grocery delivery TAM is enormous.
$UBER $DASH $CART
INSTACART EXPLORES SALE, HOLDS TALKS WITH UBER AND DOORDASH
$CART, valued at around $12 billion, is working with an investment bank and has held preliminary discussions with $UBER and $DASH, according to The Information.
Interestingly, Instacart previously held talks with DoorDash in 2021 over a potential deal valued at $40B to $50B, but negotiations fell apart.
Instacart reported $1.04B in Q2 revenue, up 14%, and generated $480M in free cash flow.
No deal is guaranteed, and any acquisition by a major delivery rival could face antitrust scrutiny.
