My Investing Muse (27Apr26) Layoffs, closures and Delinquencies Meta is laying off 8,000 employees, 10% of its entire global workforce starting May 20, with a second, larger wave planned for the second half of the year.

First of all, wishing everyone a happy weekend!Currently, gold prices are in a stalemate between bulls and bears, at a crucial juncture. The weekly chart maintains a range-bound structure; the MACD bullish momentum is weakening but has not yet formed a death cross, requiring a breakout at key levels to clarify the trend.

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ I’m a perpetual optimist. It’s hard for me to see the world through any other lens! Sometimes I’m naive, but overall I think it’s a better way to live (and, generally, hard to bet against humanity’s resilience). One of the larger debates surrounding AI relates to the impact it will have on employment. One side (booo, the pessimists!) argues we’ll see a collapse in employment as AI takes everyone’s jobs. The other side argues some form of “Jevon’s paradox” - with massive positive economic benefits. Given my intro, I think it’s clear what side of that debate I fall on! There are many ways I’ve framed this in the past (I think I’ve even written about it in a prior week’s edition). However, I heard Jensen recently articulate it much mor

10 years ago, $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ was at $2. Today it's at $344 up 17,000%. And the next target is $600 making AMD a $1 trillion company within 2 years. Here's why the move is real: 1.

$Constellation Software, Inc.(CNSWF)$ There are two fundamental questions when valuing a company (IMO). 1. What do I think the company’s future growth looks like? 2. What does the market think its future growth looks like? If you think the market is being overly pessimistic, then the company is in undervalued. How do you approach valuation?
