CEO & Co-founder at Gesda Capital. I’m passionated about equity investing and equity valuation. My vision is to show that active equity investing can work if set up properly. I was previously the Chief Investment Strategist at Saxo Bank.

This chart shows that policies carried out in the US over the past couple of decades have not been generational neutral which is otherwise a good yardstick for any policy.

Yardeni: “We are tracking the meltup scenario by monitoring the ratio of the S&P 100 to the S&P 500. The rapid rise in this ratio over the past couple of years is reminiscent of what happened during the Tech Bubble of the late 1990s.” www.dailychartbook.com/p/796 via @dailychartbook.bsky.social

I like Cliff Asness’ comment on Odd Lots that 100% passive is a singularity. Like a black hole.

We know that we cannot go 100% but happens just before?

Listed private equity firms are down 16.5% from the peak and have been in a drawdown since late January.

Det her er også et problem i Danmark. Jeg synes det er dybt foruroligende så meget betting fylder overalt. Og unge mænd er de mest sårbare viser statistikkerne…

I wrote an updated defense of active equity investing. I argue that the pendulum has swung too much in the direction of passive investing causing all sorts of distortions. Finally, I argue that understanding intangibles is a must for surviving the game...

I love watching VCs plotting S&P 500 vs job openings and then say something strongly opinionated about AI productivity and “don’t tell me there is not a causal relationship”

Well you just made the 101 mistake in time series causality. But keep fooling yourself by randomness…

I make 95% less Google Search this year after starting on Perplexity Pro. It is really good. Can highly recommend it.

Listen to this podcast on Perplexity. In my view they have the right vision for AI. OpenAI and Grok are both too focused on engagement.

Pasquariello should know better. Earnings are a bad proxy under growth as high reinvestments are not flowing through income statement immediately.

Replace earnings with free cash flow and the picture looks a bit different.

The bet is essentially. Do all these investments pay off as we used to…
“.. I understand why the dark blue line makes folks uncomfortable, and it certainly invites questions of sustainability.

“.. at the same time, however, I’m not looking to pick a fight with the light blue line today (even if that day will come).”

Sounds like the wrong incentive structure.
(Reuters) - Meta internally projected late last year that it would earn about 10% of its overall annual revenue – or $16 billion – from running advertising for scams and banned goods, internal company documents show.

Okay, so everyone are suddenly worried about Celsius and their valuation and that the Celsius brand revenue growth slowed to 13% YoY.

Celsius is now valued 12m fwd EV/EBITDA at 19.4x vs Monster at 24.2x. Celsius is expected to grow revenue by 31.3% in 2026 and 12.8% in 2027. (1/n)

So if the AI chips renewable cycle is shorter than expected it can be difficult to finance the AI infrastructure buildout at good enough debt terms slowing the speed. But if the government would "backstop" banks and PE firms would finance more easily.

I like Elon Musk’s pay package includes a goal of $50 EBITDA…which is the metric that is not necessarily correlated with shareholder value as investments are not penalised.

The Norwegian Sovereign Wealth fund did right thing to reject this pay package.

The young women voting across the recent elections in the US is quite interesting.

I would definitely hesitate to extrapolate into midterms, but it is a dynamic that might turn into something significant.

I love when Palantir CEO gets angry at Michael Burry for being short the stock thinking Burry is selling physics shares.

According to the 13F filing, Burry is short via put options.

In other words, he is expressing a negative view in a derivative. Negative views are necessary for markets.

As we get closer to the US midterms stocks that are closest to Trump’s orbit could begin to get under pressure.

There is a significant quality factor crash. Correlated with the rise in unprofitable technology companies and the narrowing breadth.
