Best investing advice I’ve received was from a PM who said “Your job is to pick good stocks, not make good models” It’s not an excuse to not do the work or know the business, but if you can’t translate #’s from a spreadsheet into what it means for a stock, it’s all worthless.

Would recommend this book for investors booking to learn about semis. Nothing to do with companies/stocks, but is an easy to read overview for people (like me) that don’t have technical background. Definitely won’t be an expert after reading but it’s a good starting point.

Getting an individual stock call wrong (ie down 20% on earning) sucks, but it almost never blows up a portfolio by itself. Getting caught offside on factor exposures can blow you up in a few days on no news at all. Learned this one the hard way.

“Bro NOW trades at 7x rev and ‘insert shitco here’ trades at 3-4x rev… it’s a steal at this level!” Yes - that’s cause NOW has a 30% FCF margin and is valued on FCF. The rev multiple is an output. Meanwhile your shitco has never generated a dollar of FCF in its existence…

This is the key problem. MMs can give you clear path to run serious money in your late 20s early 30s with. This opportunity is essentially non-existent at LOs today. 20-25 years ago L0s were launching new products headed by 28 yr olds to expand as fast as they could.

Advancement certainly a problem at a lot of firms. No new products being launched, and analysts don't want to wait 20 years for a shot at a PM seat. No great way to solve this - sleeves, perhaps?

Idea velocity is one of the harder parts of working at a pod. Especially if with a set coverage list in a highly volatile sector. Relative value shifts can happen so quickly that it’s not uncommon to be long a stock this week and short the next. Mindset takes getting used to.

Investing in public market software will turn you into a (i) highly skilled risk manager, (ii) degenerate gambler, or (iii) someone who is so scared from the 25%+ weekly moves that you completely lose the ability to take any risk at all… and I don’t know many great risk managers

Interview tip - if a HF/LO asks you to pitch a stock, don’t pick something that reports soon, not a good risk/reward. Seen candidates dropped for pitching something that tanks (I learned this the hard way) and no one will give you the job cause you got one call right.

This is probably worth a long form rant, but I would caution ppl that there is no such thing as a general equity “pod-brain”. The way teams at P72, Millennium, Citadel, Baly, etc operate/run money can be very different. The one common is they don’t tolerate losing money.

For most of this century software grew 4-8%. From 2017-2021 that growth accelerated to 10-15%. That was probably the peak, as there were cyclical and secular tailwinds that are not likely to repeat over the next 5 yrs. Maybe AI catalyzes another secular cycle at some point.

Of course it’s much more common for a mid-20 yr old to join a MM and blow out in a year than it is for them to run their own portfolio and make a $1m+ by age 30 but for most young/hungry analysts having a shot on goal is better choice than waiting 10+ yrs in someone’s shadow.

So many software mgmt teams blaming macro for growth slowdown, which can be fair, but many also reference 2021 as a “normal environment”. Late 2020 to beginning of 2022 was basically the best IT spending environment of the last decade, especially for software.

Another point on GTLB narrative - if Ultimate Tier ARR add in Q4 is flat vs last Q4 it implies yoy growth of < 80%. Mgmt won’t be able to refer to “Ultimate ARR growing 100%+ yoy” anymore. Sequential growth implies 2023 yoy growth of 60-80%.

A 7% rev beat for $GTLB and $PD mean completely different things. GTLB mgmt sandbags guide every Q and PD generally guides to within 1-2% of what they actually think they will do. No buyside investor relies on sell side #’s. This is why cons #’s can go up and stocks go down.

At the end of the day (imo) differentiation comes 2 factors: people and risk management. It’s frowned upon to say, but often the answer to “what’s your edge?” is simply that you’re smarter/better (or believe you are if you don’t have a track record yet) than other investors.

Lots of good recs. Going to start with BRZE since they just reported and it’s an easy business to understand - will put it up in next few days. Then likely GTLB/OKTA since these seem to be pretty contested trades.

Any software stocks people would be interested in seeing long form writing with models on? Less focus on product and more on financials, business model, and how I’d trade the stock. Have downtime going into the new year and hoping to revisit a handful of names.

Thought this would be obvious but it’s probably not the best idea to talk shit about a company in a crowded elevator directly after a conference meeting. Especially when you don’t know everyone around you and you’re wearing a name tag…

Sick dude, this is literally what every other LO or long duration single manager L/S says at well. I’m far from an expert, but having worked at both large LO and experience with pods, the LOs are much more alike than pods.

@AetiusDux PM track is 10+ yrs and good. Have decent amt of capital commit from an anchor. So much $ has gone to mm shops last few yrs and thesis is if you can launch now and put up 2-3 yrs of decent numbers, demand for sm comes back and will be in right place at right time with a track

Love watching the narrative change based on after hours moves. Was hit with multiple “NVDA not big enough beat given crowded long” to now “prudent guide leaving room for further beats going forward”. Trying to explain/react to moves before taking a minute to digest is idiotic

Anyone have experience living/working in Dubai? Have the opportunity to move there while we try and expand investment coverage into Asia but I’ve heard very mixed reviews. Tax break won’t be major reason for me since I’m a US citizen…

If a stock has lost money over a 3-4 quarter timeframe and don’t have a clear understanding as to why and aren’t comfortable adding to the position, then you’re probably better off just selling.

Probably a good time to remind investors that unless you had a trade on (and in size), you didn’t “know” a specific event was going to happen… unfortunately don’t get paid on paper books

Thought process is I just go back to another fund in a few years if this blows up, but maybe I’m naive in how easy that is. Just don’t know how many chances like this I’ll get. Plus I think the next few years can be great for TMT funds that don’t have the pod risk constraints

Mallorca may be known for obnoxiously drunk British tourists but I still think it’s a great place for beach getaway in Europe

Agree with this point. Especially for public mkt tech investing over last ~5 years. By the time most “hot” stocks made it to IPO the private markets had extracted essentially all value.

@lfg_cap @londoncap100 The lesson is that low rate of change areas are often better places to look for investments than at the bleeding edge of innovation, even in software

@GavinSBaker Pretty sure Okta acquired Auth0 around a similar multiple if not higher… also tried to run the company independently like is the plan for Figma… you can’t have 2 teams selling against each other, won’t end well

Any OKTA bulls interested in adding to the stock today up 20%+? My inclination would be to fade this move if I was long and I’m considering putting a short on… open to hearing the bull case aside from just trading at a low EV/Rev multiple

Oh you do deep fundamental work and understand the businesses and industries perhaps even better than some management teams? And you don’t focus on short term moves cause the market is a voting machine in ST but weighing machine in the LT?

Anyone come across good OKTA reports? Trying to find stuff deeper on the tech side - what sets them apart & how well they compare in hybrid with Access Gateway. Most ppl I’ve talked to say okta loses edge here cause it requires significant implementation.
