Philo’s Education & Mindset
“Pay him, pay that man his money.” —Teddy KGB
One of my first pieces on Philoinvestor, I relate Poker (a game of skill and chance) to Investing (a game of skill and chance, also).
If you want to make the big bucks, you better understand this.
Investing = Endless Poker
Drawing parallels with difficult to understand concepts is always helpful to simplify things and make them easier to grasp.

Recent Pieces 🦉 💥 🔄
The below is a Breakout by Philo piece in which we use technicals to analyse the state of global financial markets, and more! We’ve called a number of major market moves using this — do NOT underestimate its power.
Finally, the example we’ve been waiting for! How important is the DeepSeek event for markets and the Semis/AI Cycle?
For now NVDA is holding its value, because passive investors DGAF (lol), but I think the reality of DeepSeek has set an important precedent: That AI-powered apps, LLMs, Chatbots etc. are not just for a handful of heavily capitalised companies — they are for everyone.
And 1) if LLMs are for everyone, and 2) if said LLMs are becoming more and more efficient… then where does NVDA stand?
No one knows but is there a margin of safety here? Absolutely not 😂 Read the piece below for more context and thoughts.
The third addition to our No-End Dividend index, Jumbo is a specialty retailer based in Greece with stores in Cyprus, Bulgaria, Romania and beyond.
It has an incredible story and is a worthy addition to the NED. Read more about it below.
Thoughts on Palantir
A data analysis company focusing on apparently — Palantir is up 20X since its December ‘22 bottom. Has Palantir created so much value since then?
I talk about Palantir in this video on the difference between the Stock and the Business.
By the way, Palantir guides for $3.75bln in Sales for 2025 — and its market cap is $250bln. That’s a Price-to-Sales of 66X!
Reverse engineering the narrative of what the market is “saying” about this stock — is that it will grow sales by 20X, run margins of 20% and be selling for 16X earnings, soon..
YES — Palantir has room to grow from here, but how much and how profitable? Where is the competition?
And most importantly, how much of that value will management skim off in the form of share-based compensation? 👀
