Wall Street Wildlife Investing Podcast Krzysztof and Luke

Politics matter but can they be a distraction for investors? We discuss the way to handle political complexity in the context of Trump's criminal trial.

There are over 50 million US crypto wallets. Monkey thinks crypto philosophy runs deep and that crypto policies will strongly influence the upcoming US elections. Badger is sceptical.50% or more invested in one holding: we revisit the principles of risk allocation, and how life context matters when making these decisions.

Being an early adopter can spell huge returns or notable losses. This week, we dissect whether jumping into an investment trend at the outset is a savvy strategy or a risky gamble, and explore how our different experiences with early investments have shaped our approach and outlook.

Badger uses Palantir $PLTR as an example of the difficulty of changing one’s mind whereas Monkey can’t shake its 1984 Orwellian vibes. If technology and science are neutral, why was Oppenheimer so worried about humans blowing up the planet?

OpenAI's latest GPT-4 upgrade has Monkey and Badger both amazed and a little concerned. We dive into the mind-blowing new features: human-like voices, lightning-fast responses, and conversations that flow like never before.

If you’re a math student or a science student, great news! Your life has just gotten way easier and potentially more optimized if you learn how to use this tool correctly!

If you’re an investor in a company like Duolingo $DUOL, caution is advised! Badger notes that learning languages through gamification and a fancy-looking app will no longer be sufficient, while Monkey wonders whether Adobe $ADBE is in a similar quandary; memories of Kodak $KODK linger.

Is the future of therapy and coaching ... robotic?

Join us as we explore the potential and pitfalls of this groundbreaking technology. Is it time to rewatch 'Her' with a newfound sense of unease, or excitement?

We discuss reasons to be both sceptical and optimistic.

Remember the Telescope Investing podcast? Hosts Luke and Albert are back for a special reunion episode! While Krzysztof is taking a well-deserved break, Luke and Albert have plenty to catch up on since their last show in 2022.

In Episode 25, Luke reflects on his magnum-opus 50-day portfolio review on X, including selling $AMZN “too early” to buy a couple of cars. We debate whether that was a mistake or using money appropriately to live fully?

Monkey wonders how Luke got through 2008 beating the market by double-digits: was it luck in owning $ISRG at the right time, or an aggressive risk profile appropriate for life-stage and life circumstances?



How to Beat the Market Principle 2: Look for founder-led companies like Tesla's $TSLA Elon Musk, Crowdstrike’s $CRWD George Kurtz and Apple's $AAPL Steve Jobs. What does founder-led mean and why does that matter?



Tesla earnings results included the promise of a lower-price-point entry car and a cross-roads for investors according to Musk: "Only invest in Tesla if you believe we can solve autonomy" -- is this a fair claim to make?



Tesla also made vital regulatory progress in China in terms of autonomous driving which was enough for Monkey to add it to his King of the Jungle portfolio; we review and look back on our strategies and how they've played out thus far, six months into the contest.
