Was looking forward to your post on this, Aswath—very grounded as always.

A couple of points:

1. You mentioned your valuations on BYD and Mercado Libre. Aren't both of these companies affected significantly by:

- The potential of new tariffs staying in place

- The risk of recession

Hence, would these valuations need to be redone in a potential "post-tariff world" before executing a buy at your previous valuation price?

2. Would love an updated post on the Magnificent Seven since your last video on them (9 February 2024). It would be interesting to see how these valuations have changed over the last year, given the seismic shifts in both the market and stock prices.

I hope you enjoy a fantastic birthday celebration with your granddaughter.

He mentioned in one of his classes today that he thinks AMZN may be attractive.

BYD cars aren't sold in the US.

A completely self-inflicted crisis. At least, for the United States.

Just a fantastic and brilliant analysis. Thank you for sharing your insights (golden nuggets). The fact it was such a long read - made it more interesting.

Long reads is what allows concepts to sink in.

Hello there,

Huge Respect for your work!

New here. No readers Yet.

But the work has waited long to be spoken.

Its truths have roots older than this platform.

My Sub-stack Purpose

To seed, build, and nurture timeless, intangible human capitals — such as resilience, trust, evolution, fulfilment, quality, peace, patience, discipline, relationships and conviction — in order to elevate human judgment, deepen relationships, and restore sacred trusteeship and stewardship of long-term firm value across generations.

A refreshing poetic take on our business world and capitalism.

A reflection on why today’s capital architectures—PE, VC, Hedge funds, SPAC, Alt funds, Rollups—mostly fail to build and nuture what time can trust.

Built to Be Left.

A quiet anatomy of extraction, abandonment, and the collapse of stewardship.

It is the system’s operating principle”

Experience first. Return if it speaks to you.

Hi Aswath. Glad to see that someone has the insight to at least tie the tariffs to what's happening to crypto, although your analysis is still moored to the short-term perspective of viewing Bitcoin as an investment asset (spoiler alert: it's not). Would love for you to check out my post in which I break down in greater detail what the tariffs have to do with the future of Bitcoin, as well as a lesser-noticed (but imo far more important) asset–dollar-backed stablecoins.
