Are we in an AI arms race or a massive overspend? Kasey and Nick sit down with Simon Erickson, founder of 7Investing, to break down the staggering $364 billion spent on CapEx by Meta, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon last year alone. In this deep dive, we discuss:-- Why companies like Google and Amazon are vertically integrating their own hardware (TPUs) to avoid Nvidia's high margins. --Apple's "Patient" Approach: Why Apple's flat CapEx isn't a sign of weakness, but a calculated move to let others foot the bill for early-stage inefficiencies. --Real-World AI Monetization: From "eliminating inefficiencies" in energy and healthcare to the shift from subscription models to usage-based AI agents. --The Future of Investing: How AI is automating the "grunt work" of stock picking while increasing the importance of human empathy and trust.

The 10 Second Takeaway: DraftKings and other online sports betting platforms are losing market share to predictive markets. DraftKings (Nasdaq: DKNG) and FanDuel (owned by Flutter Entertainment (NYSE: FLUT)) have enjoyed more than 80% share for years in America's online sports betting market duopoly.But now they're adjusting to a new player who's recently joined their table.Privately-held Kalshi has a reserved seat to allow gamblers to bet on sporting events. Yet this isn't the same as its larger peers, and its new approach is taking the industry by storm.Kalshi isn't just another online sports book. It is technically an exchange who sells financial products that are tied to the outcomes of sporting events.That legal distinction is important, because Kalshi and other predictive market platforms are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission at the federal level. That's quite different from online sports betting platforms, who are regulated by each individual state.DraftKings and FanDuel have been lobbying endlessly on a state-by-state basis, trying not only to get their apps legalized but also for them to have consistent tax rates. Even after decades of operations, online sports betting is still only legal in 38 states + the District of Columbia.Yet Kalshi's financial products are available in all 50 states and have quickly sidestepped the traditional book of rules.As expected, the money is flowing to what's more universally available. The NY Times reported that Kalshi facilitated more than $2.5 billion worth of sports contracts in September alone, with the majority being on NFL games.That's a pretty formidable number, especially when considering the total cash handle for all sports betting last year was around $150 billion.There are political ties here as well. Kalshi named Donald Trump Jr as a strategic advisor one week before the president's inauguration, and the Trump Administration further issued tax cuts that are financially advantageous for future contracts as compared to traditional gambling.I don't personally see much of a difference between prediction market financial contracts and online sports bets. They're pretty much identical in function and are placed in exactly the same way within the apps by users.Yet in this highly-regulated industry, Kalshi and its predictven market peers appear to have been given a Trump Card. And that's providing an important edge that is causing it to win big at the expense of others.DraftKings will report its third quarter earnings in early November. I'll grab a front row seat and some popcorn, eager to see how this game will ultimately play out. See all of our coverage on DraftKings at 7investing.com/DKNG

Is Quantum Computing Investable?In a @7investing exclusive interview, I recently spoke with @TiernanRayTech about the status quo of quantum computing.Tiernan has had a front row seat for technology innovation for decades. Quantum is making headlines once again, and he shared insights on what's really going on behind the scenes.Publicly-traded companies like $IONQ Rigetti $RGTI, and D-Wave $QBTS have been making significant commercial progress, often growing their top-line sales at triple-digit rates.But those companies are also priced at an average of 260x forward sales -- which are nosebleed multiples that are putting the "AI bubble" to shame!So is quantum technology ready for the main stage yet? Why would you use it steady of classic computing? And are there any companies here actually worth investing in?Tiernan and I reviewed the challenges quantum faces, the tech roadmaps being pursued, the applications where it makes the most sense, and why quantum could actually be really good for $NVIDIA.We also discussed how investors should approach this space and the potential role of future acquisitions.Thank you Tiernan for sharing your insights with 7investing!https://7investing.com/article/are-we-still-five-more-years-from-quantum-computing-with-special-guest-tiernan-ray/

Lemonade (NYSE: LMND) is a new player who's really adding zest to the insurance industry. Its AI-powered underwriting enables it to write new policies much more efficiently than its less-tech-savvy traditional competitors.And in addition to its agent-related costs being a fraction of others, its unique Synthetic Agents marketing approach is providing a very lucrative LTV/CAC of 3X (which is very good).In this 7investing exclusive livestream event, I shared a formal presentation that included insights about Lemonade's fundamental results, key metrics, competitive differentiation, current valuation, and technical trading factors that might make this stock particularly intriguing.It was also an interactive event, with a real-time chat and questions in the Q&A. I enjoyed this refreshing event, where we found out whether Lemonade is worth the squeeze as an investment. Thank you to all who attended live!

The digital advertising industry is, in many ways, a bellwether of the American economy. It's a direct look at how and where companies are acquiring new customers, as well as how things are going in the business world.PubMatic (Nasdaq: PUBM) is one of the digital advertising industry's earliest trailblazers. Founded in 2006, its mission has always been to provide a platform for PUBlishers to autoMATICally monetize their websites, podcasts, and streaming TV channels with programmatic ads. In the future, that might expand to new formats like VR headsets or even self-driving cars. 7investing recently sat down with PubMatic founder & CEO Rajeev Goel to discuss how he sees the digital ad industry evolving. Here's a look at the topics we discussed:1) Industry overview (0:00): Where does digital advertising stand in 2025?2) Competitive advantage (4:45): What are PubMatic's structural sources of competitive advantage, especially compared to your peers?3) The Next Big Thing (13:32) : Header bidding for CTV in 2020, then Connect in 2022, then Activate in 2023. What's your next major growth format?4) Connected TV (18:26) : Streaming ads seem more interactive now. How is CTV evolving?5) Supply Path Optimization (22:32) : SPO is still 55% of total activity yet DBRR fell during Q1. Have the large publishers now fully consolidated their inventory?6) The Trade Desk (26:02): The Trade Desk continues to promote OpenPath and says it will disrupt the industry. How do you believe OpenPath will most likely impact PubMatic?7) The Macro (33:24): Several forecasts are reducing expectations for ad budgets in 2025. What are you seeing on the near-term horizon?8) Capital Allocation (37:46): Just announced a $100m buyback expansion. How are you prioritizing capital allocation to maximize shareholder value?Are you ready to begin investing in your future?

Today's 7investing podcast is all about Rocket Lab!The space economy is hitting an inflection point. And that will be good news for its earliest investors.Eastern European conflicts, standoffs between China and Taiwan, and new commercial interests are creating a trillion-dollar industry in Earth's orbit. And this is much more than just glorified media hype. An unprecedented number of applications is forcing the FCC to streamline its review process, as the number of active satellites is growing incredibly quickly.Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) is in the perfect position to benefit. This small-cap, small-launch provider's revenues will skyrocket during the next decade, while also dramatically reducing its costs due to the reusability of its rockets.Its rocket scientist CEO Peter Beck is a New Zealand gem, not afraid to get his hands dirty and don the hard hat to build bigger rockets and serve more demanding customers. Credibility and long-term relationships are vitally important in the launch industry. Rocket Lab is gaining both…at an accelerating pace.The Solar System is the limit for this disruptor. Rocket Lab is a very high risk investment who faces a myriad of challenges, but is also growing quickly in a massive and mostly unexplored new market. It's time to place another bet on the Final Frontier.

Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. As of 9/26/24, the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across the Bond Account is greater than 6%. A bond's yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore, a bond's YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond.

Our newest stock recommendation is now live! On the 1st of each month, 7investing issues its newest official recommendation. This is the one stock it feels most confident in adding to its scorecard (which we also track in real-time at 7investing.com/recommendations). What led us to recommend this Large Cap, Moderate Risk, Retail company this month? In today's episode, Simon describes 5 specific metrics that investors should consider when selecting stocks -- especially now that the Fed's cutting rates and we're in a more growth-friendly environment.

Sometimes in investing, it's important to change your mind. Such is the case for Celsius Holdings (Nasdaq: CELH). This energy drink company represented one of our highest-conviction ideas in August. Yet further diligence revealed multiple red flags, which 7investing CEO Simon Erickson considers to be deal-breakers for long-term investors. In today's podcast episode, he describes several of those warnings signs and why he's turned from bullish to bearish about Celsius' future opportunity. Note: This podcast mentions 54% ownership for the DeSantis family, which is an incorrect number. Due to overlap between the beneficial ownership of three family trust funds, the actual family ownership stake is closer to 23%.

Picking great stocks is hard. But finding an "expert" who'll take your money in exchange for their best stock ideas is pretty easy.

Simon has worked for more than a decade as an analyst and advisor for multiple stock-picking services, including 7Investing, which he founded in early 2020. Topics include Simon's background and history, how he has evolved as an investor, lessons learned over the past five years through a very tumultuous market, and founding and running a business.  Companies mentioned: AAPL, AMD, BA, CRWD, CSCO, GE, INTC, MSFT, NVDA, PLTR, RKLB, SMCI, TWLO, XOM ***************************************** Email: investingunscripted@gmail.com Twitter: @InvestingPod Check out our YouTube channel for more content:  https://www.youtube.com/@InvestingUnscripted ****************************************** Investing Unscripted is brought to you by Public.com* *Options are not suitable for all investors and carry significant risk.  Certain complex options strategies carry additional risk.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie recently crossed the $500 million threshold at the domestic box office, placing it on an exclusive list of just 19 films. Globally, it has now amassed $1.2 billion and is now the fifth-biggest animated movie of all-time. For Nintendo's (OTC:NTDOY) first film venture in nearly 30 years, the film has been an astounding success.     7investing Lead Advisor Matthew Cochrane invited Ryan Henderson and Brett Schafer of Chit Chat Money to sit down to review Nintendo's investment thesis.    Henderson breaks down the movie's economics, explaining that Nintendo partnered with the animation studio Illumination, meaning that Nintendo does not take home all of the movie's profits. Still, after trying to use reasonable assumptions, Henderson and Schafer believe the movie can meaningfully impact Nintendo's bottom line.     Henderson and Schafer then discuss Nintendo's future plans for film and theme parks, and whether Nintendo's famously conservative management will finally look to monetize its intellectual property through additional channels. Inevitably, the question of the Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS) comes up and whether Nintendo has aspirations and the capabilities to mirror the entertainment giant's flywheel that includes theme parks, movies, TV, and merchandise.     Cochrane wonders if Nintendo is destined to be a cyclical company, following a pattern of hits and misses with the consoles the company has released over the years. The Nintendo Switch was a hug success, selling over 125 million units, but this followed the disastrous Wii U which only sold 13 million units. Henderson and Schafer discuss Nintendo's past mistakes but believe the company has learned form them and will release an updated Switch sometime in 2024.     After wrapping up their discussing on Nintendo, Cochrane asks Henderson and Schafer what they think about the U.K. blocking the pending Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) acquisition of Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ:ATVI) and Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:EA) latest results.     You can follow Henderson and Schafer through the podcast that they co-host, Chit Chat Money: https://open.spotify.com/show/4SBtOWGEOmD9pmltgIXO8r    Henderson and Schafer also are the portfolio managers for Arch Capital Fund: https://www.archcapitalfund.com/  For more great investing insights, become a 7investing subscriber at https://7investing.com/starter-membership/     --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/7investing/message

Things are really up in the air for the stock market. And we mean that in the most literal way possible. Morgan Stanley predicts the Space Economy will be worth more than $1 trillion dollars by 2040. Merrill Lynch is even more optimistic, thinking it will reach $2.7 trillion by 2045. Whatever actual number is eventually reveal, the key point is that it will likely involve a "t" in its order of magnitude. The space economy will soon become one of the largest and most important new markets that develops in our lifetime. Once reserved for well-funded government missions, satellites in orbit now enable regional television broadcasting, the GPS used for Smartphone apps, pinpoint imagery used for logistics and government surveillance, and high-speed internet provided for locations. Each of those opportunities will require an entire subsector as well. Launch providers like SpaceX and Rocket Lab will be needed to place the satellites into orbit. Cloud providers like Amazon Web Services and Google will store and compute all of the data they collect. Support providers like Redshift will keep the satellites operational and in good condition. And with the FCC working through a backlog of nearly 40,000 new satellite spectrum applications, the million dollar question becomes how should we invest in the space economy? Three of our 7investing advisors tackled that question in an exclusive conversation. Simon Erickson, Luke Hallard, and Steve Symington together hosted a livestream discussion last month, sharing insights, key themes, and plenty of space-related puns. They first talked about defense contractors, such as how companies like Lockheed Martin were embracing collaborations and partnerships to support complex, billion-dollar government contracts. They then set their sights on launch providers, whose reusable rockets are drivign down costs and carrying larger and more sophisticated payloads for building constellations. They also discussed consolidation, especially as capital costs are increasing in a rising-rate environment and companies are finding ways to spread fixed cost across a larger number of offerings and income streams. Steve then described Virgin Galactic's ambitions for space tourism. Even with its sister company Virgin Orbit recently filing for bankruptcy, Galactic believes space tourism will eventually be an affordable vacation for many potential tourists. Simon then dug into defense applications, primarily in support of the escalation Russia/Ukraine war. He points to Maxar Technologies $6 billion acquisition by a private equity firm as a sign that M&A deals for mission-critical satellite operators will continue in 2023 and 2024. Luke chimed in with a few other 'fun' space applications, such as 3D printing components for satellite repair or asteroid mining for rare minerals. The three concluded the conversation by reaffirming their optimism for the space economy. This will take time and patience to play out, but it will also produce incredible returns for investors. Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this interview include Alphabet, Amazon, Astroscale, Lockheed Martin, Maxar Technologies, Redwire, Rocket Lab, Virgin Galactic, and Virgin Orbit. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/7investing/message

We often need to remind ourselves that "international investing" doesn't just mean replicating things that worked in one country and translating them into another. Countries all have their unique peculiarities. Some, like our domestic U-S-of-A, enjoy watching baseball, eating hot dogs, and shooting off fireworks for the Fourth of July. For others, like our beloved neighbor to the North, it's more about hockey, beaver tails, and Boxing Day. But Canada also offers a different intrigue in its investing culture. Its stock market is dominated by massive corporations who compete in energy, materials, and financial oligopolies. Nutrien (TSX: NTR) sells $30 billion per year of agricultural fertilizers every year, while Enbridge (TSX/NYSE: ENB) does $40 billion annually primarily in liquid fuels. Meanwhile, progressive cities like Toronto house cutting-edge tech companies in telecom, e-commerce, and artificial intelligence. Blackberry (TSX/NYSE: BB) (formerly Research in Motion) and Shopify (TSX/NYSE: SHOP) are examples who call Canada home, yet are publicly-traded on both the Toronto and the New York exchanges. We're already well-aware of the volatility caused by the rising inflation and the rate hikes here in America. Are the same macroeconomic challenges facing Canada as well? And beyond those short-term challenges, are there opportunities in the Great White North that long-term investors should be considering? To answer those questions, 7investing CEO Simon Erickson recently interviewed The Canadian Investor host Braden Dennis. Braden closely follows Canada's equity market and covers its opportunities on his podcast. He is also the CEO of Stratosphere, a financial data platform to help investors save time and jump directly into a company's most relevant metrics. In the conversation, Braden shares his thoughts about Canada's equity markets, real estate prices, impact of COVID, and secular trends that are developing. The two discuss why Constellation Software (TSX: CSU.TO), Brookfield Corporation (NYSE: BN), and Shopify (TSX/NYSE: SHOP) are opportunities that investors should consider. Welcome to 7investing.

On episode 5 of No Limit, Krzysztof won't let politics stand in the way of a good discussion about twitter's glorious, bot-less future and what it means for the tech industry while Luke finds a way to make “super-followers” really work in your favor. We get an update on Luke's “worry” stocks and how it feels to sell at a big loss without looking back in anger. Krzysztof and Luke also come incendiary blows about whether a license and exam should be required to trade stocks. Plus: not your keys, not your crypto, but what if there's a burglar hiding in the bushes ready to steal your keys?

Both Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL) shareholders have experienced a rough year. Shares of the social media giant have tumbled more than 70% year-to-date, while the online search engine has seen shares drop more than 40%. These results were only exacerbated when the companies reported their third-quarter earnings. 7investing lead advisors Anirban Mahanti and Matthew Cochrane look over both companies' results, looking at the highs and lows and examining whether the buy theses are still intact. For Meta, Mahanti and Cochrane looked at the company's disappearing cash flows and net income and wondered whether the vast amounts of capital expenditures and operating expenses were worth it. While Mahanti believes the company has lost the plot, Cochrane still thinks that if the Family of Apps stays strong, showing positive user growth and engagement trends, everything else can be worked out. In Alphabet's case, the management team implied they might have gotten a little too loose with spending but are dedicated to shifting funds so that resources are going to the company's most significant growth opportunities. Alphabet's growth has slowed as the company faces a weakening macro environment and is lapping huge comparables from last year's third quarter, but the underlying search business appears resilient. While Youtube's revenue decreased year over year, Google Cloud managed to grow its top line by 38%. At the end of the podcast, Mahanti and Cochrane talk about the most significant disruptive threats Alphabet faces and wonder if Big Tech's company cultures have grown too soft. Welcome to 7investing.

The semiconductor industry has been abuzz this past year. We've seen the market get pumped up about how custom chips will be needed to power AI, and that boosted chip stock valuations during early 2021. Yet we've also seen that optimism fade in recent months, as many chipmakers are cutting their forecasts and reporting weaker customer demand. We already know the semiconductor industry is cyclical, but it's also a $600 billion global market. Is the recent selloff providing opportunities that long-term investors should capitalize on? To answer that question, 7investing CEO Simon Erickson recently interviewed Chip Stock Investor founder and host Nick Rossolillo about three of his favorite companies in the semiconductor space. The two discuss why Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM) could be an overlooked and undervalued opportunity, why NVIDIA (Nasdaq: NVDA) has plenty of future growth opportunities, and why ARM Holding's upcoming IPO could be worthy of your investing attention. Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this podcast include Qualcomm, NVIDIA, AMD, and Taiwan Semiconductor. 7investing's advisors and/or its guests may have positions in the companies that are mentioned.

Most of us don't need any more reminders that 2022 has been a rough year for us as investors. But more intriguingly, would it have been possible to see the downturn? For years, researchers and analysts have looked to predictive indicators as a way to foresee broader market selloffs in advance. While the market does often exhibit cyclical behavior, it's hard to say that history perfectly repeats itself. Each economic cycle is unique, making it difficult to compare apples-to-apples to those before it. However, perhaps there are indeed a few warning flags that investors could benefit from tracking. And those are exactly what we went hunting for in today's 7investing podcast. In today's show, 7investing CEO Simon Erickson speaks with YCharts Director of Product Marketing Connor Kitko. YCharts recently published a white paper entitled Which Leading Indicators Best Predict Market Declines? In it, Connor takes a closer look at seven indicators that have been used to predict stock market selloffs: S&P 500's P/E Ratio S&P 500's cyclically-adjusted P/E Ratio S&P 500's Earnings Growth "Tobin's Q" Score 10-2 Year Yield Spread 10 Year - 3 Month Yield Spread The "Buffett Indicator" In the conversation, Simon asks Connor to describe each of the seven indicators and to comment on their relative accuracy. The two also discuss where the stock market currently stands with regard to each indicator, and what takeaways investors should know about the market's status quo. 7investing and YCharts have a partnership, which offers new subscribers a 20% discount.

Snap, Inc (NYSE: SNAP) has been snapping lately. And we don't mean that in the good way of making music with your fingers -- but rather that it's showing serious signs of breaking as a business. Snap reported slowing growth and disappointing guidance in its recent third quarter report, which prompted a rather significant restructuring of the entire company. CEO Evan Spiegel announced Snap would be laying off 20% of its workforce and sunsetting several of its growth initiatives in order to prioritize free cash flow generation. Among the programs that are getting cut is its 'Snap Originals content', its 'Pixy' flying camera, and its 'Minis & Games' entertainment. The question that's now facing investors is whether these problems are company-specific. Is this an issue with Snap having a bloated internal structure? Or is it an indication of more serious problems brewing in the digital advertising industry? In today's 7investing podcast, 7investing lead advisors Anirban Mahanti and Simon Erickson dig into Snap's recent woes. They take a closer look at its underperforming programs, its leadership decisions, and its stock-based compensation -- while also discussing external factors that are impacting the tech industry. They also discuss whether Snap's 75% year-to-date in 2022 is an opportunity or a falling-knife for investors. Anirban and Simon recorded this episode of the 7investing podcast live.

Simon Erickson, CEO of 7investing, rejoins the show to talk about the electric vehicle market. It's not just about the auto manufactures, like Tesla stock, but also the supporting cast members from the batteries that supply the power to the traction inverters that deliver the power more efficiently. Erickson talks about three companies on the cutting edge of innovation including QuantumScape (QS), Wolfspeed (WOLF) and ON Semiconductor (ON). For the video version, visit investors.com/podcast.

7investing and CryptoEQ recently announced a partnership, to help investors get a better consolidated view of the opportunities in both equities and in cryptocurrencies. 7investing provides its top seven stock market recommendations every month, while CryptoEQ provides its top-rated cryptocurrencies. The two companies are now joining forces and publishing a monthly Collision Course conversation, where they discuss important recent developments and the impact they'll have on both equities and crypto. This month, our teams dive into Ethereum's upcoming merge, which will convert it from using a Proof of Work mechanism to one that is based upon Proof of Stake. This change appears to have broad-based support from the cryptocurrency investing community, though because the mining will require significantly less computation it might reduce the future demand for processors sold by NVIDIA (Nasdaq: NVDA) and others that have traditionally been used for that mining. The teams also checked in on Biden's executive order on cryptocurrencies from March of this year. A closer look reveals that the White House could potentially have an option to ban Bitcoin mining altogether within the country. While this is unlikely (the US has actually been quite supportive of the evolution of its cryptocurrency industry), it's important for investors to keep an eye on regulatory developments that are impacting this space. Reddit is now allowing collectible avatars to be purchased on its site and then sold using the OpenSea NFT marketplace. We believe this is a "markety" story, though it also shows how crypto is being embraced by websites who generate significant traffic volumes. And finally, the teams discussed discussed the recent partnership between Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN) and Blackrock (NYSE: BLK), which is enabling institutions and wealth managers to branch out into cryptocurrency assets as a risk mitigation or portfolio management strategy. We've made this month's Collision Course conversation free for everyone! We always publish each of our video conversations -- and also the complete transcripts -- for 7investing subscribers as monthly Advisor Updates.

There's big money to be make in drug development. But is that necessarily a good thing? Pharmaceutical companies capitalize on years of R&D work with exclusive patents. Approved drugs typically commercialize in developed markets that can support higher pricing through mature insurance reimbursement networks. Yet serious diseases don't only occur in the developed world. Billions of people in developing economics need treatments as well. And they're often not able to afford the hundreds of thousands of dollars it costs for innovative approaches such as CRISPR gene editing or CAR-T gene therapy. There's currently an unmet market need for treating serious chronic conditions like Alzheimer's Disease in a way that isn't prohibitively expensive. And sometimes, it's worth veering from the herd and thinking about big problems in an entirely new way. In today's 7investing podcast, 7investing lead advisors Simon Erickson and Dana Abramovitz chat with Mei Mei Hu, the co-founder and CEO of Vaxxinity (Nasdaq: VAXX). Vaxxinity is using a disruptive synthetic peptide platform to provide cheaper, safer, more convenient, and more effective medicines for chronic diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease. It is also developing a late-stage vaccines for the prevention of COVID. In the conversation, Mei Mei describes how Vaxxinity's technology is "turning the human body into its own drug factory" to avoid the excessive costs and immune response issues of traditional monoclonal antibodies. She discusses their unique approach to clinical trials, the progress their making in their programs, and what it's like to be the CEO of a newly-public company. Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this interview include United Biomedical and Vaxxinity. 7investing's advisors or its guests may have positions in the companies mentioned.

In this podcast, 7investing Lead Advisor Anirban Mahanti sits down with entrepreneur, electric vehicle (EV) enthusiast, and former Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) employee Farzad Mesbahi. Farzad graduated with a degree in Mathematics and Statistics in 2009 and began his professional career with Phillips Pet Food & Supplies. But perhaps most relevant to our conversation was Farzad's employment with Tesla between 2017 and 2021. At Tesla, Farzad helped ramp the company's parts distribution network in the US and overseas. An investor in Tesla since 2012, Farzad had the opportunity to see how Tesla works from the inside and realize how fast the business moves. During the conversation with Anirban, Farzad remarked how 4+ years at Tesla felt like 10 to 12 years of life, highlighting the intense breakneck pace of the company. In this conversation, Farzad outlines his investment thesis, highlights what mainstream media and general investors might be missing when they think about EV adoption, and then discusses some of the challenges that could possibly trip the company.

From the birth of disco (it was 1953!), capital raising, the tortoise and the hare, businesses blessed by bountiful accounting principles and the banking of the future. Steve covers a lot of ground in this episode. I've had this interview on the shelf since May, but it is still relevant in terms of the decline of technology stocks. I think it's also good to hear from US investors. As we know the ASX is 2% of world markets so it's always worth learning a little more about Wall Street. Steve Symington is a lead advisor for 7investing. He covers a wide variety of industries and publicly traded companies, but loves finding disruptive, responsible businesses chasing massive addressable markets. You can often find him lurking on Twitter. Companies discussed in this episode: SoFi Technologies & Markel - NasdaqGS:SOFI, NYSE:MKLShares for Beginners is sponsor-funded.

There's no shortage of things going on right now in the investing world. Rapidly-rising interest rates, inflation at a forty-year high, and a broad market selloff are giving investors and the financial media plenty to talk about. However, there are also other factors -- which aren't necessarily making headlines -- that will have deeper implications for long-term investors as well. Stock based compensation is one of those. SBC has traditionally been a great way for fast-growing companies to reward their high-performance employees and to encourage retention. When times are going well, everyone's getting paid and everything is good. But will things change in the current state of the market, with stock prices falling and companies struggling? Will it manifest in the financial statements of Silicon Valley's high-flying tech companies? And will it impact the overall strategy of the executive teams of those companies? We tackle those questions and many more in today's 7investing podcast. 7investing CEO Simon Erickson chits and chats with Ryan Henderson and Brett Schafer from Chit Chat Money, to discuss how several companies are handling stock-based compensation in today's era. Ryan and Brett are also the portfolio managers of Arch Capital, which is a real-money fund that is actively investing in stock market opportunities. The two describe why they've taken several positions in the gaming industry -- including Nintendo, Electronic Arts, and Take-Two Interactive. And in the final segment, the group discusses a few things investors should be keeping an eye on in 2022. Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this interview include Apple, DocuSign, Electronic Arts, Microsoft, Nintendo, Peloton, Take-Two Interactive, Tesla, Upstart Holdings, and Yext. 7investing's advisors or its guests may have positions in the companies mentioned.

Unfortunately, investing is something most people learn through trial and error -- especially the error part! Our very own lead advisors have painful (and now funny) stories to tell from their bad, terrible, and no good investing mistakes when they were learning how to navigate the markets. We've made plenty of mistakes and accumulated over 100 years of combined experience along the way. Now, we want to share that with our student members to help accelerate their wealth-building journeys. That's why we recently launched 7investing Office Hours, a student-only call where students can learn about investing and ask questions directly to our team. We promise -- there are no stupid questions! What, exactly, is a market cap? Are options going to make you rich? Is that penny stock a good idea? What shampoo does Matt use? Everything and anything is fair game. We'll also be featuring special guests that will share their perspectives and mistakes, as well as a rotating cast of lead advisors to discuss recent recommendations. 7investing Office Hours will be scheduled on the first Friday of every month and open to all active student members. Please bring your questions for the team! Welcome to 7investing. We are here to empower you to invest in your future!

It's important to see things from a different perspective. Ideas need to be tested. Thinking that you have a great investing idea doesn't make it one.
