David on why venture capital has become more competitive: "When I started my career, there were one or two technology companies in the largest 10 market cap companies. Now it's 8 of 10, and 7 of 8 are West Coast technology venture-backed companies. There's $5T of private market cap... show more

🙈🙊🙉 SEC TURNS A BLIND ON MARKET MANIPULATION IN SMALL CAP COMPANIES 🙉🙊🙈 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission turned a blind eye on Market Manipulation in penny stock which gave the manipulators the go ahead to attack small companies. They got bold as the SEC wasn't watching they decided to move up the food chain to bigger companies. Now if you are under a 2 Billion market cap you are at risk of being attacked by Wall Street Parasites. IT'S MORE PROFITABLE TO BANKRUPT COMPANIES This is hurting innovation and the economy. It's out of control. Will they move up to Companies that are under 10 Billion❓️ When does it stop❓️ WHY WOULD ANY COMPANY GO PUBLIC UNDER THESE CONDITIONS ❓️❓️🤔

"I think there's tremendous alpha in the largest cap." Alex manages $17B and runs one of the best performing hedge funds over the last 3 years. "There's a huge structural underweight of the largest tech companies in the world. We also realized that a lot of our performance over the years was from some of the largest companies. There's a belief that there's no alpha in large cap, so the largest pools of capital are underweight this. They have a lot of small and mid managers that are stock pickers because it's intuitive that large cap can't have alpha. In tech, the leader usually grows bigger and wins and develops very high market share quickly, and there's great competitive advantages. So this is gonna lead to massive profit pools and massive market caps. Most endowments are betting against this because they're completely underweight this. I think there's tremendous alpha in the largest cap because a small cap, it just takes one person to figure out it's good and move it up. But it takes a hundred diversified PMs to realize Google's not a loser, it's a winner. And can we figure that out before 95% of those generalist PMs, and we've been able to do it."

$HOOD $JPM TOM LEE: IN 10 YEARS, THE LARGEST FINANCIAL COMPANY IN THE WORLD COULD BE WORTH $10 TRILLION 🤯 JONATHAN: "The largest financial company in the world right now is J.P. Morgan -- $900B market cap. In 10 years, how large is the largest financial company in the world?" TOM LEE (Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FundstratDirect.com): "Well, that's an important question. One thing to keep in mind is that because of crypto, more things are becoming money, which means financial services' share of the economy's going to be higher." "Another thing that's true is that in an AI world with agents and robots, that's going to make the financial services world bigger than the physical world." "So financial services market cap should be larger as a percentage of the total market." JONATHAN: "If I'm thinking about the size of Mag 7s in 10 years, I think it might be $10 trillion just to get into the club." TOM: "Correct. So one of these companies, it could be J.P. Morgan, it could be Robinhood, will be a Mag 7." JONATHAN: "And in a world in which Robinhood is a Mag 7 or something like a Mag 7 in 10 years, and $10 trillion is the entry price into that club, that's 100X from here for Robinhood." TOM: "Yeah, and presumably Robinhood won't be consuming a lot of capital. They could be buying back a lot of shares in that time. So actually it should do better than 100X because the number of shares could be lower."

"Two companies alone account for 50% of the earnings growth in the first quarter, Micron and Nvidia. Two companies. That's it. 50% of the earnings growth. And if you roll it forward to the full year of 2026, those two companies account for a third of the entirety of the earnings growth." Cameron Dawson on the narrow nature of S&P 500 earnings growth

7 of the top 10 companies by market cap depend almost entirely on TSMC's ability to produce chips. Trillions in revenue. Concentrated in one specific cluster of fabs within a square mile in Taiwan. That's not a supply chain, that's a single point of failure.

The S&P100 (OEF) has outperformed the S&P500 this year: 21% compared to 17%. Here's why: It tracks only the largest 100 profitable American companies that survived recessions, crashes, and technological shifts. Average market cap: $135 billion. When you buy an S&P 500 fund, 61% of your money already goes into these top 100 stocks anyway. The other 400 contribute minimal returns. The advantages: - Lower volatility during market chaos. - Better management teams and stronger balance sheets. - Many companies pay dividends with solid growth rates. The tradeoffs: - Higher fees (0.22% vs typical 0.03% for S&P 500 funds). - More concentrated positioning. - Limited growth potential compared to smaller companies. When it makes sense: Use as your core defensive position (40% of portfolio) when market concentration is high and you want quality over quantity. How to buy: Purchase OEF ticker through any brokerage. — This is just one of the ETFs I covered in my 22-minute video on building a simple portfolio that beats the S&P 500. I also covered S&P 500's dangerous concentration in 10 companies, which growth ETFs outperform during rate cuts, and why dividend ETFs exclude the best-performing stocks. Just comment "ETF" and I'll DM it into your inbox in the next few minutes.

“Indian market cap is only 4% of entire world’s market capitalisation. So, 96% of companies are outside India in value terms.” “For eg: Companies like Exxon Mobil will gain more due to increase in oil prices than ONGC or Oil India due to geographical advantage.” “Companies like Tesla, BYD, or companies which have patent for Mounjaro or Ozempic are not available in India.” “So for a balanced portfolio, India plus global is better.” - Rajeev Thakkar (CIO of PPFAS)

Zach Lahn Official Preview “Right now there’s three big companies that control 85% of the agriculture input market. When I was growing up in Iowa, there were over 300 companies. They’ve bought up and bought up and consolidated and sold it this way. Farmers have the illusion of choice. And one of those companies is called Syngenta, which is 100% owned by the state of China.” Zach Lahn

.delian on why fewer deals are getting done: "On a deal count basis, we're basically on a strict linear decline since the peak of 2021, in terms of total deals done by all VCs across the globe, north of $5 million." "By default, you basically have fewer logos that you can chase. So you're getting more aggregation into a much smaller set of logos... At the same time, you're seeing companies stay private for much longer. So the liquidity in the public markets is getting vacuumed up by an even smaller set of companies..." "If you added up SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI, it was something on the order of 60% of the total dollars deployed by VCs in that year were scooped up by those companies." "[Peter Thiel] said his biggest error of his 2010s was the impression that there's not going to be that many $100B, let alone trillion-dollar companies. But it turns out each individual 10x is actually easier than the last one. Once you're a $100B company, it's much easier to go to $1T than it was to go from $10B to $100B. It's much easier to go from $10B to $100B, than it was to go from $1B to $10B..." "In some ways, that momentum begetting momentum is making it so these companies get bigger, faster, and they're scooping up capital faster, and so some of the venture firms are getting bigger, faster."
