Mark Zuckerberg on how to avoid bad hires when your startup is growing quickly
As Mark explains, every fast-growing startup will repeatedly face the choice: “Do I hire the person who’s in front of me now because they seem good?” or “Do I hold out to get someone who’s even better?”
Mark offers his personal heuristic for founders facing this choice:
“The heuristic that I always focused on for myself and my own kind of direct hiring, that I think works when you recurse it through the organization, is that you should only hire someone to be on your team if you would be happy working for them in an alternate universe. I think that works, and that’s basically how I’ve tried to build my team.”
He continues:
“I’m not in a rush to not be running the company, but I think in an alternate universe where one of these other folks was running the company, I’d be happy to work for them. I feel like I’d learn from them. I respect their general judgment. They’re all very insightful. They have good values… I think if you apply that at every layer in the organization, then you’ll have a pretty strong organization.”

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~33% MORE in OCF & ~1% MORE in FCF per share
We're using P/OCF instead of P/E. Historical data reveals a stronger correlation between AMZN's share price and Operating Cash Flow (OCF)
Today, analysts anticipate aggressive OCF (per share) growth between 2024 - 2026:
2024E: $11.14 (38% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $13.22 (19% YoY)
2026E: $16.85 (27% YoY)
$AMZN has a decent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so let’s assume $AMZN ends 2026 with $16.85 in OCF per share & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples (photos attached below also include these CAGR estimates):
18x P/OCF: $303.28💵 … ~23.3% CAGR
17x P/OCF: $286.43💵 … ~20.0% CAGR
16x P/OCF: $269.58💵 … ~16.7% CAGR
15x P/OCF: $252.73💵 … ~13.3% CAGR
14x P/OCF: $235.88💵 … ~9.8% CAGR
As you can see, $AMZN appears to have aggressive double-digit CAGR potential if we assume ~15x P/OCF, a multiple well below what it’s trading for today (a multiple it hasn’t traded for since 2010) & a multiple that’s justified given its growth rate

Never seen anything like THIS before:
DEMOCRATIC Representative Morgan McGarvey just disclosed a purchase of Trump Media stock, $DJT.
The trade was made the day after the election.
He says it was purchased without his or his spouse's knowledge.
It was then sold two days later for a loss.
He disclosed about a dozen other trades - you can track them all on Quiver.
