• F‘21 Earnings Growth: 200%
• FCF Margins: 24%

2/ Lisa Su is a smart CEO I've long admired.

I recently watched this long interview she did last month where she really laid her vision:

Here are some of her effectiveness measures:
• ROE: 60%
• ROA: 15%
• Massive $4B buyback in 2021

Interview:
3/ Key reason:

Today, reports show that the deal with Xilinx appears to be approved by the European Anti-trust body (a major overhang!)

Google Cloud will be using $AMD's 3rd Gen AMD EPYC™ Processors to Launch First Tau VM Instance.

4/
As it has been well-documented in 2021.

There is a secular tailwind in Gaming and AI combined with a shortage that may last a while.

Lastly, the price/market value at $84 is extremely attractive relative to future returns, especially for a value portfolio.

Wish me luck. Image

Investing Principles

12 important lessons about the stock market that has consistently distinguished Top Investors vs Average Investors.

One lesson and One FinTwit Example.

Here is a Thread:
(Pic h/t @visualizevalue) Image
1. Pareto: 80% Inactive & 20% Active

Comfortable appearing boring but aggressive when the opportunity arises.

Investors must be willing to spend long periods of time on their hands. But yet be prepared to act when others are panicking.

One example: @adventuresinfi
2. An ability to always remain calm & rational, but still active

They're engaged by conducting research and constant DD on their holdings, yet always calm

Good Investors only let evidence drive buy/sell decisions. They avoid impulsive behaviours.

One example: @StockNovice

UI Path: A company on a mission to fully automate the modern enterprise and take away your jobs.

This is a thread that breaks down everything about $PATH's business.

What truly makes them unique? - I'll cover both the Bull and Bear Case and everything you need to know here:
1/ Introduction - Problem:

In your workplace do you feel like you've got one or two mundane/repetitive tasks that bores you?

Despite digital Innovation, today’s enterprise is filled with many mundane tasks that saps productivity. Some big examples include Email, fillings etc.
2/ Welcome to RPA:

The problems highlighted above led to the rise of the RPA industry.

RPA is basically the automation layer that sits on top of other software products that allows companies or workers to automate repetitive tasks by replicating the steps a knowledge worker.

$PATH & $SNOW = Unrelated but truly Special Businesses.

Below is one example⬇️. Look at the Record $ Retention by both companies. They almost don't new customers to grow!

I'm reviewing two of the *most overvalued* companies in SaaS. Both have major updates this week. Thread 1/6 Image
2/ What's special?

Beyond record level of $ retention on existing customer base, both companies are producing some of the most unbelievable compounded revenue growth rates ever seen in SaaS.

Clearly, this is why both companies have the highest valuations.

data h/t @publiccomps ImageImageImage
3/ Both have major updates:

$SNOW Investor Day this Thursday.
My Expectations:
- Discussion about their new chips
- Some developments around compute
- A new product announcement?
- Data ecosystem or marketplace news?

This was a nice interview w. the CEO

Cloudflare $NET recently participated in JP Morgan's Tech conference.

The CEO @eastdakota used this opportunity to really highlight the TRUE identity of Cloudflare and discussed some of their profound competitive advantage.

Here are 8-important takeaways for Investors:
1/ $NET is purposely not a Usage-Based Business Model:

Only about 5% of $NET is usage-based bcos of the potential impact or harm to a customer if some emergency came up.

Over 90% of revenue is subscriptions which gives great revenue visibility & sustains revenue

I like this.
2/ $NET's business model & strategic focus (compared to $FSLY or $AKAM):

$NET has pivoting from becoming a "CDN provider that cares about speed of streaming event"

Into

More of a security company and network ecosystem that protects their customers entire network. This is key.
