open.spotify.com/episode/3j2… @akramsrazor & I focus on the 'dark fiber vs. dark GPUs' analogue and how it does or doesn't work as a parallel. We discuss the prospects for the AI cap-ex trade, as well as bigger outcomes of continued AI progress, for better or worse. Check it out!

Here's the performance table: $DALN, $AAPL, $SCS, $ATRO, $LYFT, and $ECG keyed the winner side, while $PTLO, $PGR, and $LULU were the main detractors.

Here's the portfolio performance: The finish wasn't as good as I would have liked, but we didn't sink as much as the market and held up well.

Today's Elevator Pitch is TripAdvisor $TRIP by Middle Coast Investing @DanielShortman Mrk. cap: $2.0b forward P/E: 10.8x It also has owned Viator, an online travel agency for finding tours, since 2014. Viator has been what has seduced investors for a long time. It has been faster growing, is a leader in its sector, and is focused on ‘experiences’ – tours, activities, events –one of the last sectors of travel to truly go online.

The second is a review of 2024 from the lens of key lessons I learned and a pair of good calls and mistakes made in the year. They may be obvious or they may be contradictory, but they are what I’m trying to improve on in the year ahead. middlecoastinvesting.com/202…

That’s a lot on its own, so I published two separate posts. The first, which I’ve already shared, is my preview for the year ahead. We may head higher, but I expect a bumpy ride. middlecoastinvesting.com/202…

This marks my first full year running this RIA. My letter reflects on how familiar 2024 felt, and how to avoid pointing the same finger. Since Q4 was a very active quarter, I also discuss 5 new positions, a long-time closed position and a few trades. middlecoastinvesting.com/mid…

Transitions can play out well, $PGR and a few financial stocks as our examples. I think the stocks that hurt us - $ATKR and $ACLS especially - will still work out post transition. Though we dumped $EB or $GOGO, as I don't think they get there.
