2025 is in the books, and it was both outstanding and unsatisfying.
If you had told me at the beginning of the year, the Asymmetric Portfolio would more than double the market's performance, I would have taken it.
But after being up 53% early in October, the final results feel unsatisfying.
The good news is, this is a long game. I'm happy to buy some of my favorite stocks 30-50% off their highs, and long-term, these compounding businesses will become compounding stocks.
Thank you to everyone who subscribes, and if you want to see the portfolio's performance, the linked article is free to view.
Bring on 2026!

$SOFI hits it out of the park again.
Huge increase in 2026 guidance, which is big because it’s late in the year and shows they’ve handled higher rates well.
The margin question will be the one to watch in 2027.
If no one has pricing power, eventually margins are competed out and who has a positive ROIC in the end?
The best investors are on a constant learning journey.
Buffett started buying "cigar butt" stocks and evolved to a buy-and-hold strategy.
Bill Gurley has made a fortune on internet companies and the internet didn't even exist when he started.
Learn, implement, repeat.
$ANT S-1 is out. I'll start a thread on what I find interesting.
Looks like the ~45% Q/Q growth figure for Q3 is confirmed based on this section.
"From September 30, 2025 to September 30, 2026, TTM revenue increased approximately 1,200% while headcount increased approximately 170%, driving TTM revenue per employee from $1.4 million to over $6.6 million, a reflection of extraordinary talent density and a culture built to compound it."
Nearly half of revenue comes through marketplace or partnerships.
Those marketplaces also cost ~$3 billion. This is essentially distribution costs.
$ANT At least $390 BILLION in spending commitments over the next decade with $MSFT, $GOOG, and $AMZN that's not cancellable. $SPCX deal is also huge, but there are outs!
This is why the revenue growth ramp needs to keep going up FAST!

No matter how much work you do on a stock, there's a hard lesson we all learn, eventually:
You might be wrong.
Admitting that upfront and if frees you to make mistakes, which will happen anyway.

Being an investor isn't a part-time hobby. It permeates every part of your life.
You think about investing when watching a movie.
You think about investing when you're shopping.
You think about investing when you're sleeping.
Just ask my wife, this is a blessing and a curse.

Your best investments won't feel smart, they'll feel dumb in the moment.
Only in hindsight will "obvious" investments seem smart.

Filter out bad companies (no matter the price) from consideration, and you'll increase your odds of success.
$FIX is down because the margin expansion story is over.
HVAC only has so much pricing power and if/when supply and demand go back to normal we could see operating margins cut to historical norms of ~5%.
