The play of the future: depression
Here’s a more natural, conversational version: I’ve been thinking about how pharma companies will always try to commercialize human problems and maximize profits for as long as they can. With that in mind, I feel like companies developing new therapies and molecules for conditions such as depression, ADHD, and addiction …

How do you monitor whether your investment thesis is still valid after buying a stock?
I realized that most of my investment work happens before buying a stock. Once I buy it, I mostly monitor price movements and earnings. But price is not the thesis. For example: For Vertiv (VRT), the thesis might depend on hyperscaler capex and AI data center growth. For Circle (CRCL), …
Everyone thinks Michael Burry was crazy before housing market collapse.
Obviously, I have not done a deep dive into what he did; all I know about it is just from the movie and some news articles. However, didn't everyone call him crazy? And didn't he suffer some massive losses by paying premiums at the beginning? Is he a one-trick pony? …
What do you actually do if you want more than index fund returns but no effort?
The honest answer might be "accept that you can't have both" but I'm not fully convinced. Index funds give you market returns with minimal effort. Getting above-market returns has always required either: (a) a lot of effort yourself, (b) paying someone a lot of money, or (c) taking on more …

Everyone knows the saying, garbage in, garbage out, but I think what gets overlooked is …
Workday (WDAY)
Curious why I don’t see many posts about WDAY here? I know software is unloved currently but appears like a worthy business to consider looking at its fundamentals if you are a value investor. Genuinely interested to hear people’s analysis on the company and financials EV/EBIDTA hovering in low teens, …

I sold DaVita in February because dividends felt more real than buybacks. It returned 70% while I watched. Here's what I learned about corporate cannibals.
A cannibal is a company retiring its own shares aggressively - but not the fake kind where buybacks just offset employee SBC dilution. NET buybacks. The kind where the share count actually shrinks. The math is interesting: if true FCF is growing while shares shrink, the yield available to you …
