How is the max share price used by the broker when a customer indicates their interest for an IPO?
Some brokers allow their customers to specify a max share price when indicate interest for an IPO. Examples of such brokers: Robinhood and E-Trade. Examples of brokers who don't let customers specify a max share price: Charles Schwab and Fidelity (or maybe that depends on the IPO?). How is the …
The Paradox of Bitcoin Valuation: What Are You Actually Buying?
If you were to ask any Bitcoin buyer why they paid $80,000 for a single Bitcoin, the answer would almost always be the same: the market determines the value. But that answer is circular. The market is not some abstract force or a law of nature. The market is made …
FIX (Comfort Systems USA): Why skilled labor is the next AI bottleneck and how one company owns it
**TL;DR:** The AI infrastructure bottleneck is shifting from power to construction labor. Comfort Systems USA (NYSE: FIX) is the dominant turn-key MEP contractor for data centers, with a modular construction moat its closest competitor (EMCOR) admits it can't match.

Fake June CPI leak? June 10
I've seen a lot of rumors on reddit that an insider has leaked the June CPI numbers, and that this could've played a part for the decline in stocks today. However, I can't find any source or evidence that the CPI was leaked. Given what I currently know, I believe …

The decision quality problem nobody talks about
Most investing mistakes get blamed on the wrong thing. Bad entry. Wrong timing. Market noise. But if you look back honestly the setup was usually fine. What was not fine was the state you were in when you made the decision. Overconfident after a win. Panicking after a drawdown. Bored …
Step-up in basis - a reason for separate accounts in marriage?
I recently learned about the step up in cost basis a child receives when inheriting a brokerage account from a deceased parent. Their cost basis is now the fair market value on the date of the owner's death, which of course could result in huge, un-taxed gains since the original …

Once Anthropic goes public, …
I built a free scanner that flags quality S&P 500 companies when they dip. Tear my methodology apart.
Link: [https://moatdip.com](https://moatdip.com) I don't trade; I do check the market once a week for healthy companies I can hold. I tried Finviz-type screeners, but they're not my jam; 40 columns of ratios is too much for me. So I build my own thing. It runs every Sunday, checks the S&P …
