Episode notes
Obvious Value In Meta
- Joseph Carlson sees Meta's combination of ~24% revenue growth and a forward P/E in the low 20s as a rare, obvious value opportunity.
- He argues this makes the usual question flip from why to buy to why not buy.
Swap Underperformers For Better Opportunities
- Joseph Carlson reallocated capital by selling a slower-growing Equifax position to buy Meta for superior growth and valuation.
- He recommends treating portfolio holdings like a team and swapping underperformers for better opportunities.
Zoom Out From Short-Term Price Moves
- Carlson advises zooming out from short-term pops and focusing on multi-year intrinsic value when buying large-cap growth.
- He notes Meta is only up ~1% over the trailing year, so buying now hasn't missed a big move.
