A company with 100x less money is 100x more proficient at delivering global scale inventions in AI. It's inconceivable. Google has practically lost and is the leader in not shipping.

$AAPL - On verge of losing ~20% of earnings from $GOOG lawsuit - Major exposure to China (both consumers/manufacturing) - App Store litigation finally showing life - WAY behind in AI (apparently) - Stock at P/E of 31 Why is this not the riskiest large cap+ right now?

No one likes to talk about the fact that most winning stocks only deserve to be held for 1-5 years. The ones you ultimately hold for 10+ years are wonderful, but they are the exception. Even for Buffett.

I stopped buying active investments (individual stocks, etc.) when I realized that they monopolized most of my attention. Despite being a small % of my portfolio, I watched them all the time. This is why I went passive and you should too. You can't put a price on mental freedom.

The thing about $BABA is that it is extremely hard to have conviction in an 80% drawdown when you don't have boots on the ground, don't have an understanding of the culture, and have major uncertainty around your legal rights as a shareholder
