Episode notes
Rule‑Of‑40 Rocket Fuel
- Palantir delivered accelerating deals, TCV growth, and a Rule-of-40 well above peers, showing rare profitability-at-scale.
- That operational strength explains why retail and investors rushed in despite valuation concerns.
View Pullbacks As Healthy Resets
- Embrace pullbacks as healthy resets that remove excess speculation and support sustainable rallies.
- Use earnings-driven weakness to reassess risk rather than panic-sell into volatility.
Mega-Cap Concentration Warps Breadth
- Market concentration means a handful of mega-caps can equal hundreds of smaller stocks, creating bizarre daily breadth readings.
- Expect more distorted index moves where equal-weight and cap-weighted indices diverge sharply.
