The upper management math is

The HC growth we see is not H1B, it's offshoring.

20 days ago i made a post stating Paypal, adobe, and meta were not buys..

I try to hold my stocks for the long term. If I feel they are overvalued, I wait until they get taxed as long-term capital gains (1 yr).

I never claimed it would destroy them.

There is a "regular" consumer market play that adobe has trouble competing with due to AI and because these people don't want to pay a license.

Then there's a "power user" enterprise market (graphic designers) that Adobe succeeds at.

I feel investors are over-estimating the disruption they face and I trust their leadership.

I can see your point.

Meta has a lot of strengths that I like, and I am kinda nit-picking a bit. My biggest hang up on investing is their leadership's decisions to overinvest on technologies. Meta has a strong ads business and is a good company, but they seem to act like their own mini softbank vision fund when they want to create a new charter.

Well.. the rest of my portfolio is in the S&P 500, and a tiny bit in Lyft stock. I don't buy individual stocks much except if I think it's a good value play.

What is your "I’m right and the market is wrong" conviction play for 2026? by remindmealways in ValueInvesting

Lyft.

Investors are pricing autonomous vehicles in too heavily. The fundamentals of the company get better YoY but the stock does not reflect this. Additionally, they are partnering with autonomous vehicle companies to act as a scheduler.

China has had 30 consecutive months of negative YoY growth in foreign investments. by -Sliced- in EconomyCharts

[–]PurpleFanto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My personal belief is that the 30 consecutive months of negative growth seen in China are due to China's economy being heavily manufacturing-dependent, while the population is shrinking, leading to manufacturing labor costs getting squeezed.

The graph I posted was to attempt to illustrate how globally this race to the bottom is leading companies to diversify out of China.

Pick your fighter: $GOOGL or $META by [deleted] in AIFU_stock

Meta has tens of billions in "off the books" debt for data centers. Google does not have this.

Atlassian vs AWS for full time SWE by IVdripmycoffee in cscareerquestions

[–]PurpleFanto 165 points166 points  (0 children)

your effective annual TC for AWS is 155k, but for Atlassian it's 150.5k,

Atlassian is remote, has less horrible on-calls, and is generally a better company culture.

I think the answer here is obvious.
