Elon Musk is the richest person in the solar system. And yet X Corporation, as the company is now styled, is paying through the nose for a loan.
Understanding this paradox is the job of Bryan C. Krug, evaluator extraordinaire of creditworthiness. Read more: https://t.co/RWKdGekwST

Not George W. Bush. Not the vast majority of Republicans in Congress. Not the Generals. Not conservatism Inc. Not the big law firms. Not the tech oligarchs. Not the media conglomerates who need their mergers.
Jerome Powell. A man who refuses to be intimidated.
The best growth stock of the 2010s wasn't a tech company. It was Domino's Pizza.
"There are three value equations in pizza: quality, value and convenience. When Domino's started its run, it started by making the product better.
They realized if we really invest in technology, we can make convenience a lot better. And so they invested in their app and they built a direct relationship with their customer to drive scale through that box.
All of a sudden the brand halo started getting better. You put all that together you end up with a great stock.
And often those are the best stocks because you are already in a physical world business where the technology advantage transitions into a physical mode advantage or a distribution or scale advantage.
We call that the good-to-great thesis."
Henry on how nearly all market returns come from 1% of companies:
"There's 4,000 public stocks. How many of them truly are great? Over a rolling 10 year period, you have about 40 stocks that compound wealth at 20% a year or go up ~6x. So about 1%.
I read the shareholder letters and tried to understand what drove the success of the New Horizon Fund. It was really only 20 stocks over 50 years that drove the performance.
Walmart first came public as a super small company. And this is definitely one of the 20 stocks that mattered. But, unfortunately, it was sold. I was managing about $8 billion, and had the stake in Walmart not been sold, it would have been greater than the sum total of everything that I was managing.
I love small cap companies because I love the people side of the job, but I also love them because 80% of these great companies actually start as small caps."

This is BEYOND insane:
AI compute demand is now growing at over 2 TIMES the rate of Moore’s Law, creating a massive shortage.
Just to meet current demand, $500 billion must be invested in data centers PER YEAR until 2030.
What does this mean? Let us explain.
