As the market has digested the competitive and strategic impacts of $0 commissions, at $40 close today, $SCHW is largely back at pre-Oct 1 levels.

$WORK Thread

I wrote 500 words this morning on the recent selloff, especially as it relates to #SaaS companies.

Realized there would be no way to post this piecemeal to Twitter, so I've attached a copy here.

Bottom line = I think this selloff is a huge opportunity for LT investors.$WORK pic.twitter.com/RJ30TRecVY

$FB Thread

1/ Obviously, whether anyone buys/sells depends on goals, risk tolerance, situation, etc -- but I believe $FB is a good investment and will beat the market over next 5 years. Whether it's a moral company or beneficial to society, I'll leave for others to debate. (cont) https://t.co/Veu5HFoXH2

I enjoyed this "compunder" discussion $AMT

Okay so $amt went from $2 to $20 to $200. At what point in that process were you stupid for selling, the first 200%, 500% 1000%, 2000%?

Always fun read by Tren

Whenever you read or hear the phrase "losing money" you should ask yourself: what does this person mean?

1. GAAP earnings?
2. Cash flow?
3. Unit economics?

The phrase is so unspecific that it should not be used unless money in physical form is lost.https://t.co/r13Nabl3vd

$INFLX Thread

While the cash bonfire rages unabated at $NFLX, it looked at first like they printed some nice earnings. Until I looked closer.

$Growth Stock Obseravations

1) The past few weeks have been real tough for growth investors with most rapidly growing stocks down 25-50% from their ATHs. For sure, some have held up but the vast majority have taken a real beating.

This battering in growth land (despite strength in the major indices)...

$MSFT Teams vs $WORK Slack Thread

1/ Challenge accepted. I have followed $MSFT for over a decade. It's as well run now as anytime I have seen it.

Slack is a wonderful idea for a simple product that is ideal for certain types of work and has taken off in the tech world where new tools are often quickly adopted. https://t.co/nvFJF1mzTy

On Pershing Square $PSHZF

I posted the first in a series of more-frequent blog posts about names I'm looking at.

The first one is kinda long and is on Pershing Square Holdings $PSH.https://t.co/hQ3T1U9zvI

How much information is enough to make an investment decision?

1/ This is how I think of it: I'm a big fan of the Pareto principle, essentially that 80% of what we need to know as investors comes from the first 20% of the work/research we do. If I like what I see after that first 20%, I have no problem taking a small, starter position (cont)

$SDC Smile Direct Club and $ALGN Align Tech. discussion

Hard to tell what the best play is. I bet $algn pricing has to come way down, but not sure $sdc is a great business if they're the one commositizing the industry. Big TAM, but the economics of going after it are getting worse and worse.
