@MostlyMonkey I meant that you should count home equity in NW calculations unless someone is on the verge of retiring and doesn't have options for a lower cost area... Otherwise it's just fungible - I know a ton of finance professionals in their 30s renting

@DragonflyValue 1) I specified liquid 2) I don't think manhattan real estate has had spectacular performance vs renting + investing the differemce, but I'm open to being wrong. The real estate market where I live has been better than manhattan's, I think, but vs the alternative...meh?

@TBU12345678 Tiger guys never lived with the risk manager sharpening his axe at every 100bps drawdown. Moreover the pods tend to self select for the neurotic trader type

the one thing I like about the OG Tiger Cub guys is that they really live/lived "the life". PJs, Augusta memberships, the best wine, epic houses in the Hamptons. for whatever reason the pod guys never picked up high class tastes, even with the big share shift of $

typical chem co segments: Advanced Materials: a highly cyclical commodity chemical Performance Products: also a cyclical commodity chemical, but China has 2000% excess capacity of this one Specialty Solutions: best way to model this segment’s margins is short natural gas + a negative shock for an inexplicable shutdown that’s never guided to & happens whenever something good is going on in the rest of the business Precision Compounds: this repackages stuff from the other segments & sells it, allowing them to play with internal pricing to show steady margins so value investors can fool themselves into a sum-of-the-parts story once or twice every cycle Engineered Applications: this is actually kind of a good business, but it’s 1% of EBITDA & they’ll sell it to PE for 6x in a couple quarters

on a more serious note if you're not at least up 20% ytd i think you should seriously reconsider your investment strategy because these are the best conditions for markets in a long time and in times like this you don't chill, you hammer it home and work extra hard
Kyle@0xkyle__

did you listen anon? *every stock is up 50% ytd*

What’s the most you’ve ever seen a stock (over $1bn cap let’s say) run out after a killer print? No M&A rumors, no asset sales, no legal wins, just pure operating business inflection. I have **never** seen anything like the +88 today on fsly

@bucketshopcap Simple you pay people ex-market and more for shorts. Too many clowns (esp in upcycle like semis rn) bid up the 2x beta stocks for extra tilt and call it alpha.

However, I think the bigger challenge is how does a SM recruit/retain/incentivize talent & maintain a best-in-class infrastructure doing this today? Imagine being software or consumer analyst allocated peanuts for GMV vs. semis...& that continuing for a few years. Tough.

Good question. IMO it prob used to be seen as more valuable historically. Today I'd guess the premium disappears IF allocators have access to alpha that neutralizes even sub-sector level tilts. If you proved repeatability, it prob could be viewed as attractive but high bar.
ZenCap@kaizen_cap

Value of SM TMT is ability to allocate net across sectors. From ‘18-‘24, this was useless as all of tech traded with rates. Macro was more important - tbh, most PMs suck at it. But AI is def creating opt for SMs who picked semis > software. Do LPs view this as valuable / skill?

@rmbtrader I remember how when I first started working at a pod I told my SWE friends that I could expect 1x base bonus in an okay year and 2x base in a better year(before formulaic),, and they were like "I make that $$$ on a 9-5 WFH, why are you a slave?"

@TBU12345678 The biggest problem is that people aren't valuation sensitive any more and many don't run cross sector any more- i.e. it's a pod problem. That's why Midwestern industrial metal bending nonsense with 10% data center exposure trades at a 50% premium to $nvda and $tsm.

the longer I trade stocks, the more I believe that sector / sub-sector alpha far outweighs single stock alpha, which probably explains why macro funds have cleaned up. make single stock idio great again!

i recently had a friend who’s going thru a hard time ask how i got out of the suicidal pit of despair i was in not so long ago. my flippant answer is that i got a husband and baby and this friend should do the same. my longer answer is something like: spending time a bunch of time focusing on yourself is a trap. you feel bad so you think you need to look inward and work on self care or whatever so you can suss out the bad feeling and fix it, but actually much of the problem is the self-focus itself. get a project that actually matters and that’s way bigger than yourself and focus on that instead. kids are the ultimate version of this, but not the only option. you will by necessity grow, and you’ll do it a whole lot faster than you would by naval gazing in the vacuum of a therapist’s office or yoga retreat or whatever. people weren’t meant to have endless leisure time. drinking your coffee in peace is only enjoyable if it’s in contrast to doing something hard during the bulk of your day. you don’t need more special *you* time, you need way less of it.
Vivid Void@vividvoid

This is the great pain and relief of fatherhood: You're no longer the main character of your life. Kids dredge you like a river. You think you can't give any more, and then they need something more, so you dig deep and find it in yourself to give it to them. This happens more times than anyone could possibly count. Over time, the amount of love you're capable of channeling becomes unfathomable. One of the hardest parts of being a parent is giving up aspects of yourself that you simply don't have the time and resources to elaborate the way you'd like. Parts of yourself that previously existed outside of family life can get a little attention here and there, to balance your sanity, but never again to take center stage. That was the bargain when you had a family. You trade satisfying personal fulfillment for infinite meaning. Outside of extraordinary circumstances, a human life simply isn't large enough for both of these things. The great religious and spiritual traditions are clear about this. I hope Justin finds the balance he needs to be the father his kids need. That's the calculus now, and to fail at achieving that will be far worse - for him and then - than any stultifying afternoon of stacking Legos or playing catch.

CES predictions: - $HPQ softly rebases their guidance to the lower end - $DELL obstinately claims that thugs are fine; nobody believes it - $IFX.DE and $ON sound better on 800V oppty; $ADI / $MCHP try to talk up the cycle but ultimately we’re here for AI so it’s eh - $MU and Samsung continue to sound really good, the stocks keep rolling - $AMD and $NVDA keynotes are eh; $NVDA sounds good in Q&A but fails to recapture the magic - the conservative Tokyo Electron sounds wildly good and gives us a glimpse into how big the $ASML $AMAT etc quarters will be - TBU gouges out own eyes because domestic air travel fcking sucks

I meet so many college students now that want to work at a pod but very few actually know what the job is At least in banking or PE, it wasn't a secret what the job was. For whatever reason, there is still a thin veil of mystery on the life of a pod analyst

800G transceiver - 40M units 1.6T transceiver - 20M units Huge demand in 2026 "Compared to conventional pluggable optical modules, CPO designs can reduce per-module power consumption from about 30 watts to around 9 watts at 1.6T transmission bandwidths."
パウロ@paurooteri

来年はシリコンフォトニクスっつ 追っていきましょう 2026 年はシリコンフォトニクスの商業化にとって重要な時期であり、光通信メーカーは将来を見据えたトレンドを積極的に取り入れています。 シリコンフォトニクスとコパッケージドオプティクス(CPO)技術は、これまでまだ計画・導入段階にありました。様々な光通信企業や関連サプライチェーンがこの分野に参入する中、2026年は光通信業界にとって「シリコンフォトニクスの商用化」への重要な転換点となると予想されています。これはまた、データセンター相互接続アーキテクチャが「光ファイバー・トゥ・ザ・ホーム、銅線・トゥ・ザ・ホーム」という新たな時代を迎えることを意味します。 業界専門家は、AIサーバーの継続的な需要が800Gおよび1.6Tの成長を牽引する一方で、従来型サーバーのスペックアップも進み、400G光トランシーバーモジュールの需要増加につながると予測しています。しかし、従来の銅線やプラグ式光モジュールは、帯域幅、消費電力、信号伝送の限界があり、超高速、低遅延、高エネルギー効率といった要件を満たすことが困難です。 CPO技術は、データセンターの相互接続ボトルネックを解決するための重要なソリューションと捉えられており、AIプラットフォームのアップグレードを促進する重要な触媒となっています。 市場予測によると、2025~2026年は800G光トランシーバーモジュールのピークシーズンとなり、2026年には需要が4,000万台に達すると予想されています。1.6Tモジュールの需要は2026年に2,000万台を超えると予測されており、全体的な成長の勢いに乗数効果が表れると見込まれています。 従来のプラガブル光モジュールと比較して、CPO設計は、1.6Tの伝送帯域において、モジュール単体の消費電力を約30ワットから約9ワットに削減できます。さらに、スイッチへのCPO導入により、光通信製品全体の平均販売価格(ASP)は数倍に上昇すると予想されます。最終的な目標は、光I/Oを実現し、全光ネットワークに匹敵する技術を実現することで、12.8Tを超える伝送速度を実現することです。 業界観測筋は、CPO テクノロジーは Broadcom と NVIDIA を筆頭とした 2 つの主要陣営に向かって発展していると考えています。 その中で、BroadcomはCPO技術を統合したTomahawkシリーズスイッチで市場に参入しました。NVIDIAは、Spectrum-Xエコシステムと新世代のQuantum Photonicsシリコンフォトニックネットワークスイッチを通じて、2025年12月にQuantum-Xシリコンフォトニックスイッチ関連ソリューションの正式アップデートを含む、CPO製品が量産段階に入り、AIデータセンターの実際の展開を加速すると発表しました。 ここ数年、シリコンフォトニクス技術とCPO技術の開発・商用化は緩やかに進展しているものの、主要なチップ統合とヘテロジニアスパッケージングは 依然としてTSMCの先進プロセスとパッケージング能力の優位性に依存しています。しかし、技術全体が成熟するにつれて、台湾の光通信企業は早期にポジショニングを確立しており、2026年は台湾の光通信およびCPOサプライチェーンにおける製品認証と出荷にとって重要な年となるでしょう。 例えば、リン化インジウム(InP)レーザーエピタキシャルウエハーの主要メーカーである聯亜光電は、データセンター向けシリコンフォトニクス製品が主力製品となりつつあり、2026年には顧客需要が堅調に推移すると予想され、今後2~3年間は収益の中核となると予測しています。特に、800G製品の需要は堅調で、主要顧客とはすでに2026年の受注交渉が始まっています。1.6T製品は2025年後半に出荷を開始する予定で、同社は今後数四半期にわたりシリコンフォトニクス製品の継続的な成長に楽観的な見通しを示しています。 上泉の光ファイバーアレイ(FAU)の主要3製品ラインは、LPO、CPOスイッチ、CPO XPUを網羅し、1.6Tから6.4T以上の高速要件に対応します。1.6Tレベル製品の量産およびサンプル検証は2025年第4四半期に開始され、システムメーカーによる検証は2026年第3四半期に開始される予定です。協力プロジェクトが量産段階に入ったことで、FAUは2026年の中核成長エンジンになると期待されます。 Borowayは、800G世代製品への参入に加え、1.6T光伝送モジュールにも注力しており、量産能力を備えています。これらの製品は、CPO分野の光ファイバキットや光ファイバ配線ボックスなど、幅広い製品をカバーしており、2026年に量産開始予定です。
