5 companies constructing world class moats/competitive barriers:

1. $PLTR: Transforming into a platform, $PLTR's commercial offerings are enhancing deployment speed and ease through AI innovations. As it integrates a diverse client base across industries, the platform's bespoke solutions increasingly challenge imitation by competitors.

2. $HIMS: Navigating the complex pharmacy sector, $HIMS has established a vertically integrated, automated pharmacy system tailored for digital-native consumers, bypassing traditional insurance constraints and generating positive operational cash flow. Moreover, its expansive patient data collection is forging the world’s premier AI-driven closed-loop in healthcare.

3. $SPOT: Perceived merely as a music streaming service, $SPOT is eclipsing this view by aiming for 1 billion monthly active users and expanding into various audio sectors, positioning itself as the "Google of audio." The expanding network enhances its potential to develop AI tools uniquely beneficial for both creators and users, distancing itself from competitors.

4. $AMD: Bolstered by strategic acquisitions like Xilinx and Pensando, $AMD leverages its specialized expertise to customize accelerated computing solutions uniquely, outpacing industry rivals with each product release by increasing personalization capabilities for its clients.

5. $TSLA: More than a car manufacturer, $TSLA is developing an integrated platform combining affordable energy, AI, and highly efficient manufacturing to create an insurmountable competitive edge. With each new vehicle and device rollout, $TSLA's data accumulation will further refine its unparalleled AI technologies.

Trafigura CEO says copper must trade above $5/lb to meet demand forecasts.

I think that's the low end of future price discovery.

Lower grades, input cost inflation, labor shortages, increased red tape/environmental regulations.

All these things increase AISCs/breakevens. https://t.co/JUeCr6dNmy

Why do I expect legal finance to keep growing?

It mostly reduces to the reason why it emerged.

Companies utilize liquidity to fund their own operations. Management want to allocate capital and time in business-related activities. That's where their circle of competence resides. Funding legal departments or paying law firms impedes this.

At the same time, there's a mismatch in the desired methodologies of payment. Companies tend to prefer to pay on a contingent basis, while law firms prefer to be paid on an hourly, or fixed basis. Due to the latter's cost structure, it's likely for this mismatch to persist.

Legal finance solves this at no risk. The financier, generally, would only receive money if the case resolves favorably. Hence, this mechanism removes downside from cost yet keeps some upside for businesses.

In addition to this, there are two interesting advantages from an accounting perspective:

1. Legal expenses flow through the p&l, being recorded as operating expenses. They invariably reduce the earnings and cash flow a company produces and reports. The problem is not only the money that's needed, but the market value cost it implies.
If the company spends 100M in legal fees and trades at PE of 20, the cost in market value terms is of 2 billion dollars.

2. When companies have an ongoing litigation, there might be the possibility of them generating cash flow in the future. However, this is not recorded as an asset. Hence the market assigns little to no value to such a thing.
Legal finance recognize the asset's value and allows corporations to monetize their claims, by offering cash upfront in exchange for a share of the potential proceeds plus a return on the funded cost. Again, only if the case resolves favorably will the financier receive money.
It essentially offers cash now to a manager that can employ it in their operations and to which the market assigns value.

Legal finance is a solution to a problem I expect will continue in this enormous industry. More importantly, it's a tool I suspect most managers will be happy to utilize.

Here's a simple strategy in a world where nobody cares to re-rate your cheap stocks, and they stay cheap forever.

1) Find companies that nobody cares about that are trading at ridiculously low valuations.

2) Ensure that those companies will keep earning profits at some sustainable level.

3) Buy the ones explicitly saying,"“we will return most of our earnings to shareholders through dividends, buybacks, or both"”

It is painfully simple but significantly narrows the investable universe of "cheap" stocks.

Also reveals how important capital allocation is even amidst the cheapest stocks.

« Also, I am making 208% on my $DJT short although math tells me the max I can make is 100%. »
