The Few Bets That Matter
I don’t see how this is a bad take.
You could argue more people would succeed with all in this than by diversifying into 30 stocks they don’t know or follow well enough.
Not everyone has the time to build this kind of conviction or the stomach to hold them.
But yeah.
"Concentration makes wealth. Period."
You don’t need the next $PLTR.
You just need stocks that outperform $SPY.
That doesn’t mean everyone will succeed.
But everyone doesn't succeed stock picking.
And it doesn’t mean everyone should do it.
But it is factually accurate.

My take? I did it.
I went $35k to $10M in 21 months (286x) going all in 1 stock at a time - no options, no margin, no crypto. And shared every trade live on Reddit as "Sir Jack".
Concentration makes wealth. Period.
Most people want to make life-changing money, not 7%.
They also need simplicity.
People are dumb.
Swing trading 1 stock at a time focuses research, concentrates gains, and avoids getting rugged.
It's the best way to get started actively trading.
I full endorse it.
(also the fund manager stat is stupid af bc it's much different trading your $1000 vs millions in AUM) tweet

Google and Shopify, along with retailers, unveiled a new standard to help AI autonomously complete purchases across different shopping platforms.
New Salesforce data shows artificial intelligence and agents drove about 20% of retail sales this past holiday season, highlighting growing demand for more information and reassurance before shoppers hit "buy."
The initiative, announced at the National Retail Federation's annual conference in New York on Sunday, centers on the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP), co-developed by Google with industry leaders including Shopify, Etsy, Wayfair, Walmart and Target.
More than 20 retailers, platforms and payment companies endorse the protocol, including Home Depot, Best Buy, Macy's, Mastercard and Visa.
The new standard is designed to help AI tools move shoppers from "I'm interested" to "I've bought it" without forcing them to jump between apps, websites or checkout systems.
Google says UCP will soon power shopping inside AI Mode in Search and the Gemini app, letting people buy without leaving the conversation.
Similar setups are planned with other AI tools, including Microsoft's Copilot.
This is part of a broader push toward what companies call agentic commerce — where AI doesn't just suggest products, but actually helps complete the task of checking out.
Retailers say checkout is the most fragile part of shopping because stores have different rules for payments, returns, loyalty points and delivery — the kind of friction that often causes shoppers to abandon carts.
"Roadblocks are costing retailers a lot of money, because billions of dollars are left in carts every year," Vidhya Srinivasan, Google vice president and general manager of ads and commerce, said during a media briefing.
A ChannelEngine study of 4,500 shoppers found that only 17% feel comfortable letting AI complete a purchase, even as many consumers already use AI to research products.

🤔 While #TSMC’s freshly released 4Q25 sales jumped over 20% YoY, the foundry is reportedly fast-tracking global capacity reshuffles, with mature-node output and tools potentially shifting to affiliate VIS’s Singapore fabs.💡More: https://t.co/JDXekvQfMS 🔗 https://t.co/mTI7RhiRgz tweet
