Wall Street Wildlife Investing Podcast

The wildlife are getting restless - Badger’s motorcycle has been stolen!

He's making up the cost by ensuring he's invested in the world's greatest companies, and in today's episode, we discuss the first of his investing desirables: does the company align with powerful trends that are shaping the future? Are ethics and doing good for the world part of that requirement? How does a company like Nvidia $NVDA compare with Celsius $CELH or Lululemon $LULU?

Monkey meanwhile urges caution about investing in AI for social, cultural and potentially revolutionary reasons.

Does Tesla’s moves to drop the price of its Full Self Driving (FSD) software suggest visionary brilliance from Elon Musk’s chess game against regulatory pressures, is it more of a marketing strategy or a way to collect more data to widen the company’s lead in self-driving data? Or is it simply a cash grab to juice the top line?!

We’re living in uncertain times that are changing ever more rapidly and we need to keep cautious about all our predictions.

A humble request to all our listeners: please leave us a review on Apple or Spotify if our Wall Street Wildlife episodes have helped you become a better investor. We're still sub-scale, and it will help us a lot!

Is fear stopping you from investing and building your wealth?

Investing is risky and fear-inducing, but is also one of the most direct paths to living the life you want.

There are many obstacles, one of the biggest of which is fear. On today’s special Owl’s Nest episode, we define fear and suggest ways to become more intimate with it.

Badger and Monkey discuss the merits and drawbacks of paper trading: is it a useful tool or does it offer false security?

How do poker players and motorcycle enthusiasts train with fear?

What does equanimity mean and how can we cultivate this classic virtue?

When we’re not in control, how can we reframe the bad-beats life throws our way?

The art of mastering yourself is fundamental to investing success. And it all starts with understanding and conquering fear.

Before returning to the UK, Badger paid his pal Monkey a visit in Austin. Shenanigans ensued, including, but not limited to:

A trip to the Apple $AAPL store to try the Vision Pro headset. Was the demo experience enough to convince Luke to drop Android and buy into Apple’s metaverse aspirations?

Since the Wise $WIZEY Austin headquarters were nearby, we were graciously able to take a tour of the company’s new digs. You’ll hear more about Wise in an upcoming episode, but we do examine a tried and true (?) Peter Lynchian principle: invest in what you know.

Tesla $TSLA released their delivery numbers and they weren’t pretty. We discuss how to think about Tesla's short-term pain, while still having the potential to become the world’s largest company. The ambivalence of forces at play reminded Monkey of Nvidia $NVDA after a shortfall in revenue that was crypto-related. Those who took advantage profited wildly. Is more caution warranted with Tesla at the moment?

Before flying home, Monkey and Mrs. Monkey played a few hours of poker with the Badger. We recorded the footage and analyze the big hand. Annie Duke, what would you have done differently?

Monkey badgers Badger about his portfolio review and the insights he's gained thus far. Why did he invest in Sea Limited $SE? What metrics about Cloudflare $NET are giving him pause? Would he buy more now if he didn't own any already? How did knowing Wise as a customer influence his confidence in being a shareholder? $WIZEY

“Money won is ten times sweeter than money earned.” Is investing successfully like winning money from the casino that is “the market”?

Monkey claims we're already cyborgs with our phones glued to our hands and head. Elon Musk moves this sci-fi trajectory further along with his company Neuralink recently enabling a paralyzed person to play chess using only their mind. Check out waitbutwhy.com's deep dive on Neuralink's foundations and how the brain works and the literal mind-altering future for human consciousness. As though AI wasn't enough.

The King of the Jungle portfolio challenge Update: Badger buys $ZS on the strength of the cybersecurity megatrend, while Monkey preaches patience. Worth noting Badger's claim that there's little chance of Monkey catching up to him by the first of November...Any requests for Badger's upcoming trip to the jungles of Austin to pay off his whiskey debt?

Investing that will make you wealthy is as much about your own psychology as it is about the companies you invest in. If you skip the “know thyself” step, you will make terrible mistakes that could have been avoided. Do you think you’re smarter than everyone else? Do you invest for the short or long term? Is your portfolio resilient? Are you susceptible to FOMO? Krzysztof “Monkey” Piekarski and Luke “The Badger” Hallard have not only had great success as investors over 40+ years, but we have also made all the mistakes so you don’t have to. Listen as we tell you about 5 of the most important laws! You can download all ten at www.wallstreetwildlife.com This episode was originally recorded on Phil Muscatello’s show Stocks for Beginners.

Is AI a sustainable investing trend? Should AI ethics matter for investors? The newly crowned Best Picture, Oppenheimer, alerts us about how humanity's obsession with science made blowing up the world a non-zero reality. Nvidia $NVDA is a company enabling the next great revolution in technology, but is it too much too quickly? We discuss whether it has gotten too far ahead of itself in terms of capacities, ethics, and market cap, and why Krzysztof sold his position.

What’s an essential process to improve your investing gains? Luke discusses his 50-day portfolio review, why he started it, what it entails, and what he's learned so far. Professional investors know what they're doing and why and continually reflect on the process itself. Luke shares his model -- find his updates @wallstreetwildlife on Instagram.

What's one of the most robust investing mega-trends of the past decade, with no signs of slowing down? Luke discusses the new SEC law that forces companies to report cybersecurity data breaches within four days, and how ruthless cyber terrorists are more than happy to help the SEC police the new law. $CRWD, $PANW and $S are all companies that are benefitting. Identifying and understanding this kind of megatrend can lead to outstanding investing gains over many years.

Books discussed: The MANIAC by Benjamin Labatut about the birth of the modern computer, the atomic bomb, and AlphaGo, the AI program that defeated the world's best Go player eight years ago today, and the limitations of current LLM models.

Is Google $GOOGL a bear, a bull or a dodo? Badger buys more, Monkey screeches Be Careful!

Meta $META was in a similar position not too long ago, but it has an impenetrable social network moat. Can the same thing be said of Google’s data in a time of AI with companies building language models from the ground up and redefining search?

Monkey explains this quandary is what the “too hard bucket” is for, whereas Badger remains confident in his fundamental understanding of the business.

We also answer a 7investing discord member who wonders whether allocating a majority of his portfolio to four companies is too concentrated. The devil is in the details and the answer is not so simple. Remember, cash is a position, too, and it’s hard to become wealthy, but also hard to stay that way.

Badger’s skiing season is being funded by some unsuspecting poor Lake Tahoe poker players. Should Monkey be worried about his upcoming visit to Austin’s card rooms?

NVIDIA ($NVDA) just dropped a bombshell earnings report, sending the stock market into a frenzy! The results were off the charts, defying expectations and adding billions to the company's market value. But are things truly as rosy as they look? We'll dissect the numbers and get to the bottom of it.

Monkey and Badger locked horns before earnings. Both were bullish, but only one will be sipping victory's sweet banana-flavored whiskey tonight! Who called it right? Find out in this episode.

And then there's Enovix ($ENVX), the battery innovator with the potential to shake up the lithium-ion world. If they pull it off, this stock could explode. But as always, there's risk. Our resident sceptic, MrNotAdvice, breaks down why he's watching from the sidelines, even though the story sounds tempting.

Want to dive deeper into the wild world of investing? Download our "Laws of the Jungle" from wallstreetwildlife.com. We'll teach you the behavioural side of investing, how to manage risk like a pro, how to conquer your emotions, what to watch out for if you're using leverage or margin trading, and much more.

Do you smell a bubble brewing?

Join Badger and Monkey in a lively market breakdown where we crack open the wild world of market bubbles. We'll teach you how to spot these dangerous inflations and protect your portfolio from a devastating pop. Are we in a semiconductor bubble? Is Nvidia riding toward a burst? Will Super Micro Computer share Cisco's fate? These are the burning questions we'll be tackling!

We also talk about the difference between GPUs and tulip mania, while turning a discerning eye toward upcoming Nvidia $NVDA earnings, and make some bold predictions about where the price will be on the day after, 2/22. Hint: one of us is wilder and more aggressive in his price target than the other. Can you guess who’s who? Much whiskey depends on this bet!

And what does Wall Street Wildlife make of Super Micro Computer’s $SMCI parabolic rise and 20% one-day-drop? Monkey says this is what a bubble looks like and wonders if the company is analogous to Cisco in the ‘00s during the internet market crash.

We examine The King of the Jungle Competition for insights into the strengths and weaknesses of Badger and Monkey’s approaches. Badger looks calm and steady and richer than Monkey; so is Monkey wrong in his approach? Or is the divergence more a function of market cycles?

And why does Monkey all of a sudden own three Bitcoin miners? $CIFR, $BITF, and $CLSK? Perhaps because he likes making 100%+ gains? But there’s a more fundamental reason for his bullish view on Bitcoin $BTC, and it has to do with the world’s most valuable asset, gold.

All this, plus a barrel of laughs from two investing pros, helping you get richer one jungle branch and episode at a time.

Last night’s Lyft $LYFT earnings included an extra zero where there wasn’t one and the market reaction was wild! Turns out there’s a big difference between 500 basis points and 50!

What are basis points? How do they differ from percentage points? We help you understand margins, and why thinking in basis points is an upgrade over percentages.

(Shares of Lyft $LYFT soared more than 60 per cent on Tuesday before falling back sharply, after an error in the ride-hailing company’s quarterly earnings release exaggerated the outlook for margin growth in 2024 by 10 times. The company reported that it would improve adjusted earnings margins by 500 basis points, or 5 percentage points, in 2024 compared with the previous year)

Post Super Bowl Sunday, Badger is hung over like a banshee but rolling in the dough nonetheless after making some choice bets. He also reports from the field about the most interesting things he saw and didn’t see in the commercials — Hint: where was crypto? (Monkey’s answer: nearing 50,000 per $BTC!)

Monkey wonders about the similarities and differences between gambling and investing. One difference: understanding the fundamentals is what all successful thinkers and investors need to do. Some key principles:

* Understand simple ideas deeply.

* Be brutally honest about what you know and don’t know

* Identify and let go of biases.

* Break down complex topics—like investing—into smaller components and practice deepening your understanding of each; over time, these components merge into an integrated whole.

Monkey meanwhile watched Oppenheimer and read The Maniac by Benjamin Labatut, about Johnny Von Neumann, who was called the smartest human of the 20th century, responsible for the birth of AI. But is a non-zero chance of the extinction of life worth the risk?

King of the Jungle Portfolio Challenge Update: Monkey buys more Eos $EOSE and contemplates buying Enovix $ENVX because batteries and energy will be in ever-increasing demand. But is this a sunk cost fallacy, Badger wonders…

All this and more from the front lines of the Investing Jungle!

Tickers mentioned: $NVDA, $CRWD, $EOSE, $ENVX, $BTC, $LINK, $ETH

Explicit content warning: Badger doesn’t restrain from telling Monkey how he really feels! Monkey is getting his market ass whooped so hard, Badger calls for an official intervention! “This is what you get for timing the market!” he scolds. Does Monkey listen? Is he too far gone in his “fundamentals matter" myopia? Amidst his counterarguments, he weaves tales of tulip crazes, rampant consumerism, soaring debts, and the pitfalls of "buy now, pay later" schemes, all underpinned by a staunch "this time is no different” philosophy! Investors today are faced with a hard choice: buy at high valuations in a worsening economy, or wait patiently for the market to eventually return to fundamentals - but sitting on the sidelines could come with costs too! It’s an honest back-and-forth about the only topic that should matter to investors right now. Tickers mentioned: $CRWD Crowdstrike, $RLAY Relay Therapeutics, $NVDA Nvidia, $KRE Regional Bank ETF, and Abercrombie & Fitch $ANF.

Are you tired of getting trampled in the stock market stampede?

Join us for a wild ride in this episode as Monkey bares all about his market-timing blunders and the hefty price tag they came with. Dive into his thought process to sidestep these common investing pitfalls yourself.

Meanwhile, Badger is snoozing soundly, his cave brimming with dollars, thanks to his steadfast belief in the "market-timing-is-impossible" mantra. Pay close attention to his philosophy for a stress-free investment journey.

Ever wondered how to inside-trade without crossing the legal line?

We delve into the murky waters of insider trading – a definite no-go – but then pivot to a curious observation: some elected officials seem to have a Midas touch in the market. Badger breaks down the do's and don'ts of shadowing these successful, yet legally compliant, market mavens.

And now for the thrilling King of the Jungle Portfolio Challenge Update:

Badger goes bullish on $IOT Samsara, revealing how their innovative software turbocharges business efficiency.

Monkey, on the other hand, waves goodbye to $AEHR AEHR Test Systems. Why? Disappointing guidance in electric vehicle orders. Hear him out as he uses technical analysis to justify his exit strategy, resisting the urge to double down at lower prices. Instead, he ups the ante on $KRE puts, betting against the stability of regional banks.

But what happens when you break free from the sunk-cost fallacy? Badger puts this to Monkey, leading to a fascinating turn: Monkey's potential reinvestment in $TSLA, eyeing it as a prime example of a top-tier company with a fairly reasonable valuation.

Don't miss out on these electrifying insights and strategies – it's a jungle out there, but we're here to guide you through!

"I think that there's a whole swath of current people investing that are going to get wiped out. They will get wiped out because they have never experienced emotionally, psychologically down markets. It is absolutely brutal to wake up, look at your screen and see red day after day after day after week.

I don't think most investors today have any idea what that feels like." ~MrNotAdvice

We do not want to scare our listeners, but being a savvy investor requires being aware of the risks and not turning away from the data, for better or worse. And we have plenty of data to share with you.

Our resident vulture, MrNotAdvice, walks us down memory lane, recalling what caused the 2008 financial crisis, and the reasons why the current economic crises -- or dominoes -- or doomsday scenarios-- might trigger an even more brutal market downturn.

On the back of Episode 10's overview of the commercial real estate crisis and Japan's dire economic situation which won't bode well for US treasury values and the impact those will have on interest rates, we also discuss a lack of growth outside of federal stimulus.

The expanding war in the Middle East and increasing geopolitical risks.

Since timing matters, and timing the market is hard, how should investors assess their risk profiles? What ought we do in the face of several highly impactful economic scenarios like these?

One answer is to raise cash and treat it as a position, a strategy MrNotAdvice explores in greater depth.

@MrNotAdvice

Bitcoin #BTC — aka digital gold — was approved last week to be traded as ETFs, causing much celebration from investors who now have an easier time owning it.

But all that glitters might not be gold, says our guest Vulture, aka @MrNotAdvice. If you care about free markets, their manipulation, and are concerned about Bitcoin losing some of its purity and philosophical principles, this episode is for you.

Life in the investing jungle can be red in tooth and claw! So we also asked Mr. Not Advice to elaborate on his most likely and impactful doomsday scenarios which, if they came to pass, would be devastating to the stock market.

Warning: this episode is not for the easily spooked investor, but for those who can handle looking at high-risk scenarios!

Hint: commercial real estate is not looking so hot, and the banks who own lots of those loans are in trouble. But with Japan as our ally, they’ll continue to buy US debt, helping to keep interest rates from rising again, right? Oh boy, if Doom is what you want, this Doomsday Episode is what you need.

Oh - and if you want to know how to protect yourself from the coming financial apocalypse, we share a bunch of preventative measures you can take to avoid the worst of the potential collapse.

$RKLB Monkey loves @RocketLab as the best alternative to investing in SpaceX .So for the King of the Jungle Investing Challenge he bought some Feb '24 $7 call options.

Was this a reckless bet?

Can Luke maintain his composure in the face of Monkey's shenanigans, like the Badger ninja he is?

There's also an extremely important lesson here about ODTE options. Hint: DON'T.

The new year is an opportunity to weed out old habits that prevent us from being the best beastly versions of ourselves and the best investors we can be — the two are often intertwined!

Badger starts his resolutions by committing himself to increasing the concentration of his portfolio while Monkey aims to undertake fewer projects and to go deeper into the ones he’s most excited about.

Slowing down, and doing less is often more, both in life and in investing, so we both commit to being more like turtles. 🐢

Monkey feels distracted by too much screen time, a problem Badger is familiar with — though the thought of less technology gives him the howling fantods it seems!

Simplify! Simplify! Simplify! This is the order of the day, both for short and long-term investors. How simple can you make your own processes?

And of course, Monkey speaks some philosophy, and his renewed commitment to saying “is that so?”, an old Zen saying that comes in handy, especially when everyone around you is often wrong and knuckleheaded.

$AAPL Not every great company makes a great investment. What are the reasons to think #Apple will provide market-beating returns from its current market cap of nearly 3 TRILLION?

Monkey -- a life-long Apple believer, and Badger, a life-long Apple naysayer, duke it out.

1) #VisionPro: Apple can create new categories

2) #ArtificialInteligence: Apple won't sit on the sidelines

BUT:

3) How many people with a new iPhone -- that works stupendously well -- will keep upgrading at $1,500 a pop?

Badger puts a cool $100 to good use by investing in shares of Axon Enterprise $AXON. It’s a great company with a seriously good ethical backbone — Monkey supports the cause but questions whether it’s the right time to buy given the gnarly macro backdrop. Monkey meanwhile adds even more to his Coherus Biosciences $CHRS position, but this time using the 5/17/24 Call options. He explains why, despite 90% of options expiring worthless, he chose this vehicle instead of buying more shares outright. “Strap on your theta dildo and start pounding” might sound like you’ve walked into the wrong room in a 70s seedy Times Square joint, but Monkey explains what this means in terms of options losing value and how you can take steps to avoid getting pounded, and not in the good way. The Owl’s Nest brings us an unfortunate story of a good man getting scammed. Badger interviews his friend who lost too much money falling for a playbook that takes advantage of our human desire for lots of wealth quickly. Monkey admits to first-pawed experience with Greed as one of the most rotten bananas in the investing bunch and how investors can set themselves up to avoid nasty jungle predators.

With Santa Claus about to make his annual chimney stops, Badger and Monkey look at their portfolios to determine whether they’ve been naughty or nice. Spoiler alert: Monkey’s ass is red for good reason! Playing the role of the Bear 🐻 for the first time in his investing career, the Santa Claus rally in the markets is making noble Monkey feel more like a baboon than a seasoned investor. Badger, meanwhile, is sleeping well at night, with gold coins coming out of his ears. Will his confidence last for the rest of the year? Together, Monkey and Badger take a step back from the big upswing in the markets asking whether they have truly made any brilliant decisions or egregious mistakes. Meanwhile, Monkey confesses to selling Crowdstrike in his real-world portfolio to increase his cash position ahead of his Doom and Gloom prognostications, eliciting a timeless reaction from Badger! We also discuss the massive year-in-review project for 7investing.com and our goal to double down on the highest-quality companies in the land that we can find. $CRWD $MELI $KRE $RLAY $CHRS You can find more episodes of the podcast at wallstreetwildlife.com, and you can follow us at: https://twitter.com/7LukeHallard https://twitter.com/7FlyingPlatypus Wall Street Wildlife is also on Instagram and Tiktok @wallstreetwildlife

Episode 5 features the Badger explaining why his portfolio is chock full of strange ticker symbols that Monkey’s small brain had a hard time making sense of, something called ADRs — turns out they’re not as scary as you think (Badger's research resource mentioned in the episode is here: https://www.adr.db.com)

Monkey meanwhile throws some rotten bananas at Badger’s snout for engaging in a serious investing fallacy — an insidious desire to earn medals for the amount of time he’s held his investments in Intuitive Surgical ($ISRG).

What is a bank? What is crypto? Monkey and Badger explain both in a new Golden Goose Segment featuring closed trades that made a profit. The first golden egg was Monkey’s sale of crypto Chainlink for a 31% profit.

Does crypto scare you? Don’t let it. Monkey explains what it is and if you stay with the products that are creating real-world value, you’ll do more than fine.

In episode 4 of Wall Street Wildlife, Badger and Monkey, having just watched Dumb Money, debate whether the market is rigged against retail investors, and what strategies you can use to outperform the market regardless.  Badger of course can’t help himself from squeezing poor humble Monkey’s shoes for wanting to have a little bit more fun by increasing the monthly portfolio contribution to $200 instead of $100, calling him out as a degenerate gambler. But Monkey’s wise retort leaves Badger stunned!  One month into the King of the Jungle Portfolio Challenge, Monkey is losing to Badger; he explains his KRE puts and how options accelerate both losses and gains, and the reason he opened that position which will need time to be proven correct. Badger, meanwhile, talks about his confidence in UK Fintech leader, Wise PLC. Need a source for deep fundamental research into some of the best businesses on the market?

Episode 2 of Wall Street Wildlife finds Badger in Hong Kong, a perfect location from which to teach Monkey about the nuances of portfolio risk management, and the dangers of feasting on too many rotten stock bananas, like, say, $EOSE Eos Energy, Monkey's fatal obsession.

In Phoenix or Dodo, we examine Luke’s own junk stock, $NNOX Nanox Imaging and debate whether they are making the x-ray machines of the future, or turning investors into clowns working for the circus.

In the King of the Jungle portfolio challenge, Monkey defends his decision to allocate over 40% of his portfolio to $CHRS Coherus Biosciences, triggering another Badger lecture about the difference between investing and gambling. What to do instead? Badger suggests a modest allocation to the MSCI India ETF $NDIA, “bloody hell, what is happening in India is incredible.”
