Appreciate @ReustleMatt hosting us to talk about CDNS on Business Breakdowns, one of my all time favorite companies.

“This is one of the most important companies you have never heard of.” @bjohns3 and @jbathgate explain why. joincolossus.com/episodes/93241…

It's earnings season, the sun is out and it's 60 degrees. Time for the investors @NZSCapital to take a hike!

What the market is expressing today was an extremely unpopular opinion just 6 months ago. It's important to stay long term focused, whether the market is way up or way down. You're not as dumb as you think at the bottom or as smart as you think at the top. youtube.com/watch?v=hp4LjF…

Enjoyed talking to @ianmking for this excellent Bloomberg article about ASML's rise and their unique position amidst the geopolitical tensions in semiconductor land.

Today I learned that Texas Instruments is worth more than Intel, Qualcomm, or AMD. 🤯 Everyone sleeps on analog. h/t @jbathgate

I felt embarrassingly dumb defending the long term outlook for tech/chips on CNBC back in September. I wasn't as dumb as I felt that day, but also I know that I am nowhere near as smart as I might feel now. The best ROI is always on humility. cnbc.com/video/2022/09/…


Not the first time Berkshire has traded semis well with an uncharacteristically short holding period. They may have missed their calling in just being semi cycle junkies 😂

Happy retirement to Rich Templeton, the OG CEO who showed that good semiconductor businesses can be free cash flow machines investor.ti.com/news-releases/…


I can't comment on forward earnings but when I read this what jumped out his how epic the 118% cut to earnings estimates was in the GFC, that was special. @tculpan is one of the best journalists in semi land btw

“On average, 24-month forward earnings estimates for the SOX have been trimmed by 17% since a peak in the first quarter of 2022.” @bjohns3 and @jbathgate is this enough of a cut? bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…



Someone told me the other day I'm in the Acknowledgements in Chip War! Just ahead of Dougie B and the 🐐 Morris Chang. (yes I'm aware it's in alphabetical order and I'm one of probably 100 way more knowledgeable people than me 😂)

I think @crmiller1 might be onto something with this whole Chip War concept... Great read (so far) with some fun history. And impeccable timing on the release last week.

I've said that I thought Berkshire should invest in analog - biz models w/ high returns, high terminal value, lower disruption/tech risk, a bit of a bet on 🇺🇸. TSMC makes a lot of sense for them tho - irreplaceable asset. Hopefully it is their gateway drug to other semis😂

@jbathgate @bjohns3 Wasn't it you guys who, while describing the Buffett businesslike characteristics of semiconductor businesses, wondered if Warren Buffett would ever invest?

"I don't hear our users asking that we put a lot of energy" into RCS, says Tim Cook in response to a question at Code. "I would love to convert you to an iPhone." "I can't send my mom certain videos," says the questioner. "Buy your mom an iPhone," says Tim.



$WOLF is a great story. In 2016 the prev. mgmt team tried to sell the Wolfspeed biz to Infineon for $850M (to focus on LEDs). CFIUS blocked it for national security reasons. Gregg Lowe came in, invested in Wolfspeed, shed the LED units, and Wolfspeed alone is worth $14B today.

I don't like it when one of our investments takes the easy way out by selling to private equity. In part because we miss out on the compounding, but mostly because the hard-fought soul of the company will evaporate. But, then I think: how great this is for their competitors!
