Interesting fee increase here for Amazon SP-API...seems sizable (helps retail margin).

$1400 per year plus usage charges.

JUST IN: A Polymarket trader just bet $32K that Mikie Sherrill will lose the New Jersey governor election today.

They also bet $34K against Zohran Mamdani.

They could win up to $610K, but the odds are low. https://t.co/ElOJXBV0u0

Late to the game $AMZN may have went with the right horse if Anthropic projections pan out.

AWS can also be a multi-yr mid 20s grower

There are several respected investors who have long stayed away from companies like $GOOG, $AMZN, $MSFT & $META โ€” skeptical of the returns on the enormous capital expenditures tied to cloud and AI infrastructure.

I understand the concern, but I donโ€™t think thatโ€™s the right conclusion.

These businesses are building the digital backbone of the next decade, and exposure to them still remains beneficial.

At the same time, Iโ€™ve found it important to balance those โ€œbuildersโ€ with the cash cows โ€” $MA, $V, $SPGI, $FICO etc โ€” businesses with exceptional FCF margins, durable moats, and minimal capital requirements.

๐“๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐›๐ข๐ง๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฌ ๐š ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฉ๐š๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐œ๐ข๐ฉ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐€๐ˆ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐œ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐›๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐ž ๐ซ๐ž๐ฆ๐š๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐ข๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐‚๐š๐ฉ๐„๐ฑ ๐œ๐ฒ๐œ๐ฅ๐ž ๐œ๐จ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐Ÿ๐ญ๐ฌ.

The builders power the future; the cash cows become even more efficient by leveraging AI within their own operations โ€” expanding margins, driving automation, & compounding value quietly in the background.

Lately, weโ€™ve seen many quality compounders sold down to compelling valuations, while capital has chased anything labeled โ€œAI,โ€ even pre-revenue businesses now worth tens of billions.

๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ฅ๐˜บ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ค ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏโ€™๐˜ต ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ.

Eventually, when the market begins to see cracks in AI-related CapEx or re-evaluates growth expectations, capital will likely rotate back toward predictable, high-margin compounders quietly executing in the background.

Itโ€™s not about being contrarian against AI โ€” itโ€™s about being contrarian within quality.

The great opportunities often come from owning world-class businesses everyoneโ€™s temporarily disinterested in.
