Still a work in progress ...

@stonkmetal @BourbonCap Thanks! Just my opinion that they should do it consistently (like every quarter) so investors can see it and to offset their SBC. I think they got overconfident since EPS has been growing in double digits even without the share buybacks. Now they really need the share buybacks.

Current Metrics:
- Price: $515.66
- Market Cap: $37.88B
- LTM P/E: 32.87
- ROIC: 45%

$MSCI is a great business with a wide moat. However, valuation is on the high side. Would be good to consider if it falls further.

* Just sharing my analysis. Not financial advice.

[Desert Fox @maxiromsky]

$MSCI is not simply a data provider. It provides global benchmarks of portfolio performance. $MSCI operates a capital-light, high-margin business model.

Revenue Breakdown:
- Index: 58%
- Analytics: 23%
- ESG & Climate: 12%
- Private Assets: 7%

Moat Components:
- Regulatory Capture
- Brand
- Network Effects
- Switching Costs
- Scale Economies

Funds that track or are benchmarked against $MSCI indices must subscribe to $MSCI data. There is no substitute.

Revenue Model:
- Recurring subscription: 55%
- Asset-based fees (linked to AUM in ETFs/funds): 40%
- Non-recurring: 5%

We’re working on extending human lifespan at @newlimit.

Our thesis is that major diseases are correlated with aging, so we may be able to prevent these by restoring function that was present in younger cells.

@brian_armstrong "Do you need a hug?"

@TedPillows It is possible that this continues to go up until the end of the bear market in mid-to-late 2026. What we want to see is that it starts going down soon to resume the bull market.

[Desert Fox @maxiromsky]

@Ashcryptoreal I hope so, for crypto's sake.

[Desert Fox @maxiromsky]

@Sykodelic_ Looks like gold is going parabolic right now. Maybe gold peaks this week. Maybe it's time for BTC to start moving next week.

[Desert Fox @maxiromsky]

@TedPillows Maybe he/she expects to fill the wick, then go back up.

@virtualbacon It does feel like 2017. I hope it ends like in 2017 lol.

@benjamincowen The carnage in the alts is shocking. In some cases, the bids were just completely cleared out. No bids at all!
