Nvidia valuation: $4.97 TRILLION

Nvidia revenue: $215 BILLION
SpaceX revenue: $18.7 BILLION

Nvidia: started at $0.04 per share in 1999. $1,000 → $4.9 million today.
SpaceX: asking you to buy at $135 in 2026. 94x revenue.

What's an unpopular opinion that would get you in this position??

[Math Files @Math_files]

Bayes’ theorem is probably the single most important thing any rational person can learn.

So many of our debates and disagreements that we shout about are because we don’t understand Bayes’ theorem or how human rationality often works.

Bayes’ theorem is named after the 18th-century Thomas Bayes, and essentially it’s a formula that asks: when you are presented with all of the evidence for something, how much should you believe it?

Bayes’ theorem teaches us that our beliefs are not fixed; they are probabilities. Our beliefs change as we weigh new evidence against our assumptions, or our priors. In other words, we all carry certain ideas about how the world works, and new evidence can challenge them.

For example, somebody might believe that smoking is safe, that stress causes mouth ulcers, or that human activity is unrelated to climate change. These are their priors, their starting points. They can be formed by our culture, our biases, or even incomplete information.

Now imagine a new study comes along that challenges one of your priors. A single study might not carry enough weight to overturn your existing beliefs. But as studies accumulate, eventually the scales may tip. At some point, your prior will become less and less plausible.

Bayes’ theorem argues that being rational is not about black and white. It’s not even about true or false. It’s about what is most reasonable based on the best available evidence. But for this to work, we need to be presented with as much high-quality data as possible. Without evidence—without belief-forming data—we are left only with our priors and biases. And those aren’t all that rational.

SIMPLE BREAKDOWN

Here is a simple explanation of how it works using MTN and Airtel shares.

The Setup

Imagine you start with ₦200,000,000 capital.
You split it equally between two major stocks:

You buy ₦100,000,000 worth of MTN.
You buy ₦100,000,000 worth of Airtel.

The Market Movement

Six months later, the market shifts:

MTN has performed well and is now worth ₦180,000,000 (you have a ₦80m profit).

Airtel has performed poorly and is now worth ₦20,000,000 (you have an ₦80m loss).

The Problem

You want to sell your MTN shares to secure that ₦80m profit.

However, if you sell, the government will expect you to pay tax on that gain.

The Solution (The Wash Sale)

To avoid paying the tax, you use your loss on Airtel to cancel out your profit on MTN.

Step 1: Sell the Loser

You sell your Airtel shares first. By doing this, you officially record a loss of ₦80m on your tax records.

Step 2: The Offset

You then sell your MTN shares and take your ₦80m profit.

When calculating your taxes, you combine the two:
₦80m (MTN Profit)

₦80m (Airtel Loss) = ₦0 Net Profit.

Because your net profit is zero, you pay zero tax.

Step 3: The Wash

Immediately after selling Airtel to establish that tax loss, you buy the Airtel shares back at the same price.

The Result

You secured your MTN profit tax-free.

You still own your position in Airtel (because you bought it back).

You used the system to legally "wash away" your tax bill.

In many other countries, there is a "30-day rule" that prevents you from buying a stock back immediately after selling it for a tax loss. In Nigeria, that rule does not currently exist.

This allows smart investors to sell and buy back instantly to protect their capital from taxes.
