Howard Marks: “You should never buy into momentum, you should never buy something because it’s been going up...
You should only buy it if you think it’s good value.”
When you're going through a tough time or feel like you're getting all the bad breaks, don't ask, "Why is this happening to me?"
Ask, "What can this do for me?"
What can I learn from this? What opportunity might this create? What door could this be opening that I just can't see yet?
And if it feels like every door is closing, then ask yourself one last question: What's the lesson?
There's always a lesson. If you learn from it, the setback wasn't a waste. It was a gift.
Stop being ungrateful when you get gifts in disguise. Say, thank you teacher.

Warren Buffett reveals the underpricing test behind Apple's iPhone: a $1,000 device can be worth more than a $1 million plane.
"I do not focus on the sales in the next quarter or the next year."
"Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of people practically live their lives by it."
"That little piece of whatever it is, that is some of the most valuable real estate in the world."
"They spend hours a day."
"It is part of their habit of living."
"If we did not have it, you could not sell them anything else. They either went next door or they came back."
"The iPhone 10 cost $1,000 and that is a lot of money."
"I have a plane that costs me maybe a million dollars a year."
"I would rather give up the plane, which is a million or a million and a half a year, for something that costs $1,000."
"The iPhone is enormously underpriced."
That is the replacement-friction test.
The moat is not just usage. It is what customers refuse to substitute when supply disappears, prices rise, or a cheaper alternative shows up.
Before you optimize conversion, pricing, or retention, ask the Buffett question: what would your best customer give up before giving up you?

I’m disappointed that $ASTS pushed its 45-satellite target into early 2027 because that milestone is critical to the commercial revenue ramp.
AST really operates on two clocks where the first measures how quickly it can manufacture and launch enough satellites to provide useful coverage while the second measures how quickly its mobile network partners can activate service and begin paying AST once that coverage is available.
The first clock has now moved later so unless AST accelerates the launch cadence afterward then the second clock may slip as well which helps explain why the stock is down nearly 20%.
The financing terms really were excellent but poor communication and inconsistent capital messaging left investors focused on the satellite delay rather than the strength of the raise itself.
I added 20% to my position today.
