The key to investing is not assessing how much an industry is going to affect society, or how much it will grow, but rather determining the competitive advantage of any given company and, above all, the durability of that advantage - Warren Buffett

BREAKING: There are now a record 312,000 new homes for sale in the Southern US states.
This is 21,000 higher than the August 2006 peak, just before the housing market crash.
The number of new houses for sale in the South was almost half of what it is now during the 2020 pandemic.
Meanwhile, new homes for sale in the West have risen by 40,000 over the last 5 years, to 111,000, near the highest level since 2008.
New home inventory in the Northeast and Midwest is also near cycle highs, but remains well below 2006 housing bubble levels.
How much longer can this housing market run last?
Strategy already owns 597,325 BTC - that’s more than half of what Satoshi is estimated to hold (~1.1 million BTC or 5.5% of total supply). In other words, $MSTR owns about 3% of all Bitcoin, currently valued at $64 billion.
@long_equity Thank you for sharing! How do you justify the effort of running this portfolio when it is underperforming Nasdaq 100 in most years? I’m just curious because I’m owning a similar portfolio
Mining a #Bitcoin block with a single CPU core over the span of one year is virtually impossible. The odds are about 1 in 571,000,000, or 0.000000175%. You are far more likely to be struck by lightning - several times - than to find a block.
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010 was so costly to BP that it could have bought Tesla (at today’s valuation) nearly four times over with the amount they spent on the spill.
Why the European model is in danger of collapse. Originally it was a Goldilocks one, rewarding effort without punishing bad luck.
The issue now is that effort isn't rewarded enough to incentivise funding against bad luck, so the funding decreases. Meanwhile the cost of that funding is increasing because of demographic changes.
When you add to this a failure to transition from the industrial to information era, this creates a tipping point and that has happened post Covid.
You then have a misaligned incentive feedback loop and lack of growth that can cause economic collapse.
