$Constellation Software, Inc.(CNSWF)$ Constellation Software is a very interesting company because there's really no other stock like it in the market. They are essentially a serial acquirer, buying numerous businesses. While many companies rely on growth through acquisition, Constellation Software stands out in a few ways. Fundamental Firstly, they typically acquire very small software businesses, resulting in ownership of hundreds of companies. Secondly, they adopt a Warren Buffett-like approach, allowing these software units to remain independent. They don't integrate these acquisitions into a larger software suite, which means they avoid the high merger charges that other companies often incur. For example, in 2014, their merger charges were

$Netflix(NFLX)$ Netflix stock surged over 14% in after-market hours following its earnings update. As someone who has rated Netflix stock as a buy for several years, I'm thrilled. For 2025, I still rate Netflix stock as a buy. But is it too late to invest? Let's review the company's latest quarterly results, incorporate the new higher valuation, and determine if Netflix stock is still a buy for long-term investors. Earning Overview In 2024, Netflix's revenue grew by 16%, and its operating margin expanded by six points to 27%, up from 21% the previous year. This is a phenomenal increase, making Netflix the best in class among streaming players. The fourth-quarter slate outperformed expectations, with "Squid Game" season 2 on track to become one of

$Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)$ $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$ Warren Buffett's Advice for 2025 Part of the reason there will be plenty of opportunities this year is that some people are bound to make poor decisions. Stock market investors in 2025 face three significant challenges: reasonably high interest rates, overvalued stock prices, and the lingering effects of rampant speculation in the markets. These factors make investing particularly challenging at the moment. Fortunately, the world's most renowned investor, Warren Buffett, has shared extensive insights on these topics over the past couple of years. In this video, I’ll draw on his wisdom to explore how we should approach investing in 2025. The first m

$Nike(NKE)$ Nike Inc. (ticker: NKE) is currently trading at $71 per share2 day ago. Year-to-date, the stock has dropped nearly 6.5%, and over the past year, it is down about 30%. This marks its lowest point on a 5-year chart since the pandemic in 2020, when it hit a low of approximately $67. Over the last five years, the stock is up roughly 5%, but it remains well below its historical highs. The key question now is whether Nike can recover to those previous levels. To analyze this, I'll be using my automated stock valuation spreadsheet. This includes valuation methods such as the discounted cash flow (DCF) model, comparable company analysis, dividend discount model, and the Benjamin Graham intrinsic value formula. We'll input Nike’s ticker symbol (

$Danaos(DAC)$ Let’s explore the key reasons behind Monish Pabrai’s recent investment in Danaos Corporation. Although this is currently a small position for him, Pabrai is known for his highly concentrated investment approach and rarely makes decisions lightly. When he invests, it’s because he genuinely believes the opportunity is worth both his time and capital. Today, we’ll do analysis to understand why Pabrai chose to invest in a stock that has been largely overlooked by other major investors. Notably, Danaos has received little attention since 2009 when David Einhorn exited his position. Danaos Corporation is one of the world’s largest owners of container ships, boasting a fleet of 68 vessels and recently expanding to include 10 bulk carriers. T

$Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF(SCHD)$ If you're seeking a efficient way to invest in a stable fund that delivers both strong growth and reliable income, SCHD might be the perfect choice. As one of the most popular dividend ETFs on the market, SCHD stands out for its unique blend of performance and stability. In this article, I'll dive into what SCHD is, how it works, and how it compares to other alternatives. What is SCHD? SCHD stands for the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF, managed by Charles Schwab. The fund aims to closely track the total return of the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index. The "100" in its name refers to the 100 high-dividend-yielding companies it includes, offering investors exposure to a broad portfolio with just one purchase. T

$Realty Income(O)$ $NNN REIT INC(NNN)$ $Simon Property(SPG)$ Real estate investment trusts (REITs) have experienced a significant decline in recent weeks. On average, they've dropped by about 13%, with individual REITs like Realty Income falling by over 20%. The primary reason behind this sell-off is the growing uncertainty about future inflation. As a result, the Federal Reserve (FED) has decided to pause its rate cuts for the time being. Until now, the investment thesis for REITs was largely based on expectations of rate cuts. The assumption was that REITs had dropped due to rate hikes, and thus, they should rebound once rates were reduced. However, with fewer rate

$Simon Property(SPG)$ One of the clearest indicators that a management team has confidence in their company is when we see insider purchases. The reality is that insiders typically buy their own stock for one main reason: they believe the price is going to rise. Data supports this, showing that stocks with significant insider buying tend to outperform the market over time. In this articles, we’ll look at three dividend stocks that have recently seen insider purchases. Simon Property Group (SPG) Let’s start with Simon Property Group (SPG), a real estate investment trust (REIT). Examining its insider purchasing history, we see about 10 insiders began buying shares, with a noticeable trend of more insider buys than sales over the past day to three yea

$Yalla Group(YALA)$ I recently added this stock to my portfolio watch list because I believe it has significant potential. It’s currently trading near its cash value, has a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 5, and insiders own 43% of the shares. The company in question is Yalla Group, primarily operating in North Africa and the Middle East. They specialize in social networks and gaming apps. What caught my attention is their impressive cash reserves: $569 million in cash and $135 million in long-term investments, totaling around $700 million. With only $1 million in debt, the company is essentially trading below its cash value. Although revenue growth has slowed, it remains positive, and earnings per share (EPS) are surging. Cash flow is also showi

As one of the largest business development companies (BDCs) in the United States, Ares Capital has established itself as a reliable dividend payer over the years. We’ll explore the company’s business model, analyze its recent performance, and discuss its dividend payouts. Finally, I’ll share my personal perspective on whether Ares Capital could be a good addition to your portfolio. What is Ares Capital?

$Alphabet(GOOG)$ $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ Google remains the third most valuable brand in the world and is owned by the fourth-largest company globally. Google's technological ambitions span a wide range—from smart contact lenses and autonomous vehicles to quantum computing. Driving these innovations is its primary revenue engine: ad spending, soon to be bolstered by cloud computing.

Today, we'll explore Google's investment portfolio, encompassing 45 companies, to uncover key insights. For context, firms holding over $100 million in publicly traded stocks are require

$.SPX(.SPX)$ $Verizon(VZ)$ $AT&T Inc(T)$ $Realty Income(O)$ $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ $NextEra(NEE)$ Hi Tiger for the past 2 week, I opened Bloomberg and noticed a flurry of headlines about rising interest rates, crashing markets, and the bond market taking a hit. To top it off, Ray Dalio warning about the possibility of the U.S. government going broke and offering strategies to prevent it. The Debt Cycle In this article, I want to delve into the debt cycle, interest rates, debt sustainability, and Ray Dalio's assertion about the U.S. government'

$Evolution AB(EVVTY)$ Good day, fellow Tiger Evolution enthusiasts. Evolution Gaming stock has been one of the most requested topics for me to analyze over the past few years. I’ve received countless emails and inquiries about this online gambling software maker. While it’s not typically the kind of business I focus on, as Howard Marks often says: It’s not what you buy; it’s what you pay that counts. Good investing isn’t just about purchasing quality assets—it’s about buying them at the right price. No asset is so exceptional that it can’t become overpriced and risky, nor is any asset so flawed that it can’t become a bargain at the right price. With Evolution AB now more than 60% below its 2021 peak, is it a bargain? The answer appears to be yes—

$Verizon(VZ)$ Good day, Tiger! Verizon's stock has been declining for the past five years, yet its dividend has steadily increased. How can this be? That’s exactly what we’ll explain in this video. We’ll also calculate Verizon's intrinsic value to help you determine if it fits your portfolio. So, let’s dive in. Over the past five years, Verizon's stock has dropped by 36%. While its dividend yield has partially offset the decline, this performance pales in comparison to the broader market, which has doubled in value over the same period. Verizon’s current market cap stands at $160 billion. In this analysis, we’ll place Verizon on the value investing quadrant, assess its risk and reward profile, and calculate its intrinsic value relative to peers. The

$BABA-W(09988)$ $JD.com(JD)$ $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ Why Burry Choose China Over US Stock? Today we cover Michael Burry has recently sold over $70 million worth of his U.S. stock holdings, taking action during one of the strongest U.S. stock market rallies in history. This move has drawn comparisons to his behavior in the lead-up to the 2008 financial crisis, which he accurately predicted and profited from significantly. During that crash, Burry personally earned around $100 million, while his investors made over $700 million as the market plunged nearly 60% in a matter of months. Now back in the spotlight, Burry appears to be adopting a pessimistic stance on the Ameri

$Eli Lilly(LLY)$ $Comcast(CMCSA)$ $iShares MSCI EAFE ETF(EFA)$ $iShares TIPS Bond ETF(TIP)$ $Smurfit WestRock PLC(SW)$ Hey everyone, I often explore stocks that major institutions are buying, but today, we’re flipping the script. Instead of looking at purchases, we’re diving into five stocks that big institutions are selling. And what better institution to focus on than the infamous BlackRock—the largest asset management company in the world, managing trillions of dollars in assets. Their market influence is massive, so when they sell, it’s worth paying attention. In this articles,

$Crocs(CROX)$ Since June, shares of Crocs have fallen by 34%, but I don't believe the company is necessarily in a worse position now compared to then. The advantage for investors here is that as Crocs becomes more of a value stock, management has the opportunity to buy back shares. This reduces the number of shares outstanding, ultimately increasing the earnings per share for investors. Earning Overview Let’s break down some numbers today to see just how quickly the company could buy back stock in 2025. To start, let's examine the stock movement. I'll show a chart of Crocs' drawdowns, which simply indicates how much the stock has dropped from its peak. The last peak was June 17, 2024, and since then, shares have fallen by 34%.
