I would direct you to the public filing for detailed disclosure about the Valor funds’ correct ownership in shares of SpaceX. While I’m a large partner in the funds, the majority of the gains go to our LPs. We’re deeply grateful for their belief in us and SpaceX beginning with our first investment in 2006.
john d rockefeller had a chill work life:
"By his mid-thirties, Rockefeller realized that burning the midnight oil at Standard Oil was unsustainable. To protect his energy, he installed a telegraph wire between his home and office. This allowed him to work from home three or four afternoons a week, spending his time gardening, planting trees, and moving at what his biographer Ron Chernow described as an "aggressively leisurely" pace"
Silenciosamente as treasuries longas dando o sinal de que a festa está acabando! Incrível o S&P ainda estar próximo da máxima histórica. O EPR deve estar muito baixo. Esse pico deve ser marcado pelo IPO da SpaceX

US freight costs are surging:
The LMI transportation prices index rose +5.6 points in April, to 95.0, the highest since the April 2018 peak of 96.0 points and the 3rd-highest since the index was launched in 2016.
The Logistics Managers' Index, or LMI, is a monthly survey of over 100 US supply chain executives that tracks the expansion or contraction of the US logistics industry across 8 key metrics, including inventory, warehousing, and transportation costs and capacity.
A transportation prices reading above 50 indicates that freight costs are rising, while a reading below 50 indicates a decline.
The LMI transportation prices index has surged +40.8 points, or +75%, since September 2025.
The increase in freight costs comes at a time when inflation is already rising to a 3-year high.
Inflationary pressures in transportation are intensifying.

Bill Ackman on perks of long-term investing…
“There are fewer investors who can take a 3-5 year horizon, I think that’s an opportunity for us … it explains why we own Alphabet, Amazon and Facebook.”

🇧🇷 SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL 🇧🇷
Nobody talks about this world-class mega-city enough, let's fix that...
→ 22M people — one of the biggest cities on earth and still underrated
→ Brazil's economic engine — $400B+ GDP in one metro
→ Restaurant scene that embarrasses most other LatAm capitals
→ Infrastructure that actually functions (a rarity)
→ World-class medical care and hospitals
→ Largest Japanese diaspora outside Japan = unreal sushi & ramen
→ No real winter, no real summer — just São Paulo doing its thing, decent weather overall
→ At least 30% cheaper than CDMX (comparable sized city)
→ Some of the best nightlife on the continent
→ Direct flights to NYC, Miami, London, Tokyo, and everywhere that matters
→ More museums, galleries, and live music venues than most people realize — this city has serious culture
What did I miss? Have you spent some time in SP? Criminally underrated or nah?
