Nine years ago, I had nothing.
No cash. No clue.
I was stuck at a school I couldn’t stand, flipping burgers at McDonald’s.
Then I stumbled into crypto. And I never turned back.
If I could pull it off, so can you.
Just trust the process.

StitchFix CEO says Q3 was another solid quarter—5th straight year of revenue growth when you adjust for things. Both revenue and adjusted EBITDA beat expectations.

Norway's May CPI came in at 0.2% month-on-month, below last month's 0.4% but just above the 0.1% estimate.

@MikeLongTerm @OpenAI @AnthropicAI Whale Rock has a solid track record, but I wonder how much of this growth is already priced into these names.

Very Interesting so I want to share!
Title "Why the AI Boom Is Just Getting Started"

This video features an in-depth interview with Alex Sacerdote, Founder and Portfolio Manager of Whale Rock Capital Management, covering his firm's investment framework and their outlook on the AI revolution

I. Investment Philosophy & The AI L-Curve (0:00 - 19:31)

The S-Curve Playbook: Whale Rock identifies major technology shifts using their framework of S-curves, competitive moats, and underappreciated earnings power. When companies hit the right part of the S-curve, they experience exponential unit growth rather than linear growth (0:00 - 9:55).
The AI L-Curve: Unlike typical enterprise software, AI adoption is characterized as an "L-curve"—a near-vertical trajectory of demand. Sacerdote notes that the enterprise application AI market is less than 1% penetrated, signaling massive runway ahead (9:55 - 19:31).

II. Finding Winners & Anthropic Conviction (19:31 - 40:04)

The Three-Horse Race: Sacerdote describes how the chaotic field of foundational model developers has consolidated into an oligopoly of three primary players: Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google.
Anthropic's Edge: Anthropic is currently the firm's highest conviction position. Sacerdote highlights the coding market as the first major unlock, noting that Claude has transitioned to being "agentic," where tools now write the vast majority of code, massively increasing developer productivity (32:02 - 40:04).

III. The Hardware Renaissance & Software Impact (40:04 - 58:04)

Hardware Demand: The discussion shifts to the "hardware renaissance." Unlike the cloud era, which relied on standard Intel x86 chips, the AI era is pushing data center infrastructure to its physical limits. This has created immense, high-margin opportunities for companies in networking, power supplies, and thermal management (e.g., Corning and Delta) because AI demands exponentially more power per rack (48:13 - 58:04).
Software Risks: CIOs are prioritizing AI tokens over traditional software budgets, which puts pressure on incumbent software companies to prove they can remain relevant by becoming key repositories for AI agents (40:04 - 48:13).

IV. Research Machine & Strategy (58:04 - 1:20:10)

The Whale Rock Learning Machine: Sacerdote describes his firm's collaborative research process, led by a team of 10 experienced analysts. The firm builds conviction through primary research, anecdotal evidence from industry conferences, and high-level synthesis of complex hardware and software cycles (1:05:18 - 1:15:18).
Firm Evolution: The firm has evolved its product offerings, moving from a standard long-short structure to include long-only and Mega Cap Tech funds to capture alpha from the largest, most dominant players in the AI value chain (1:10:00 - 1:20:10).

Apple just dropped a huge AI upgrade with Siri AI, but their stock still tanked 4.95%. Go figure 🤷‍♂️

$STM just saw someone drop $711K on call options 🚀

@PeloSwing Not sure if that support holds with all the macro noise lately. SPCX IPO could shake things up though.

Hard truth 🚨

The ones who can't stand losing…
end up losing the most.

Why?

They mess with every single trade.

Cut early.
Shift stops.
Overanalyze.

Sound familiar? 👇

@zerohedge Largely finished in theory but in practice we still got tensions simmering everywhere. Hard to see how that wraps up neatly.
