Robert Pegg
William I appreciate everything you do, but the audio on Jim Grant side was a bit dodgy
Bob
Thanks for a great conversation full of useful information.I now have a much better understanding of how TSLA can be valued. Many profit centers and optionality on even more potential profit centers.Elon is a smart guy with billions of data points on individuals at his fingertips. His transhumanism tendencies do unerve me a bit though.So we'll just focus on how much more evil google is and dwell on humanoid robots rather than the future misery of those allowed to exist as automated meat bags.
Bob
This episode of the Acquirers podcast also discussed the fish that you mentioned in Jake's veggies segment. https://castbox.fm/vb/842682975 Good stuff!
Bob
I'm always the greater fool when it comes to story stocks! That's why I tend to avoid them now unless there are compelling metrics outside of confirmation bias. Of course by the time the compelling metrics are revealed to the likes of me, much of the margin of safety has been taken by the sophisticated investors.
Bob
Great book report on AMSL! Thanks for the numerous ads and, especially the read about "Joining the sophisticated investors club". Awesome! Sounds initially intriguing, extremely exciting, potentially promising and an outstanding opportunity. There must be a high cost in attaining this immediate level of sophistication? Though I must keep in mind the wisdom of another sophisticated man, who eloquently stated, "I could not in good conscience join an organisation who would have me as a member". Thx
