E43: Renewable Energy > Coal + Snowflake and the “Too Hard to Understand” Pile
Manage episode 437943436 series 3589623
🚨Badger has gone wild and the law tries to reign him in — with what success? Monkey, meanwhile, studies political theory and comes to the conclusion that nuanced political conversations require carefully defining the terms — and who has time for that? We reap what we sow.
⏳Is Badger a true long-term investor? Luke analyzes his long-term holdings and finds his average holding period to be 3.5 years, with a few outliers, including Enphase $ENPH and SolarEdge $SEDG. We discuss the costs and benefits of taking the long view.
⚡️Renewable energy sources are set to eclipse power generated by coal for the first time ever. Is nuclear fusion still too science-fiction? Monkey continues pounding the table for Eos $EOSE supported by claims about battery storage becoming a burgeoning trillion dollar industry.
❄️Is Snowflake $SNOW Too Hard to Understand and a Dodo set for extinction? Monkey shares his story from being a Bull to disappointment to kicking the company into the “Too Hard Pile” which is a useful investing structure. Badger wants to put Airbnb $ABNB in the same bucket but Monkey calls it the broken thesis — we discuss the difference.
💔We read a listener comment making the case for Badger’s compassion and grace — with a chilling and devastating conclusion. (you can tell who wrote the episode blurb this week - 🙄)
🍌Monkey teases a few upcoming new buys for the King of the Jungle Portfolio challenge — Round 1 — which ain’t over till its over.
