@stevemano101 Yes very promising once more people get wind of how good their shared economies of scale are. In the meantime it's a good time to accumulate! I've also noticed ads and mentions on some value investing podcast lately.

That's exactly it, still yet unknown and I've just started hearing ads pop up on a number of podcasts I listen to so they are trying to solve that. I think around 70% of customers come from word-of-mouth/referrals which is exceptional and validates customer satisfaction. I was in the stock at IPO but sold soon after. Funnily enough buying back in now at pretty much the same price but hoping once fees are low enough they can't be ignored, it'll be a massive catalyst.

$WSE $WISE is an example of what Nick Sleep coined as "scale economies shared". Sending money abroad has always been about 1) FX rate/fees and 2) speed.
As Wise grows, they are able to lower their fees and speed up transfers, thus their moat will strengthen over time.
Destination analysis: when their liquidity pools are large enough and they profit from other ancillary services, the fee to send money abroad will be $0 and the time will be seconds. No one will be able to compete with that.

@CarsonTalkMoney Ok so maybe an opportunity in that. I like the product myself. Just hesitant because there's so much competition in the sector. I like investing in monopolies/duopolies usually.
English

@CarsonTalkMoney Ah gotcha, looks promising. They seemed expensive when I ran a DCF but I guess they're an earlier stage business.

@CarsonTalkMoney Interesting. Sounds like some captured mindshare. How are you valuing them to determine it's an attractive entry now?

@NassauExec The LIRR runs at a loss every year. Maybe the answer is to privatize and let the free market work out the inefficiencies.
English

The LIRR strike did not have to happen. Kathy Hochul had months to work with union leaders and reach a fair deal.
Instead, Hochul treated the workers like they were disposable. She brought in out-of-state workers to cross picket lines during a nurses' strike.
She sent the National Guard to break a corrections officers' strike.
When I’m Governor, labor will finally have an ally in the Governor’s mansion.

@WillBiddy_ I sold HOOD and PYPL a while back. Too much competition IMO. I bought WIZEY instead. Also long ADBE and CPRT.

@BillAckman @CNBC I'm in with you Bill. Just wish I had more to invest. Godspeed.

An excerpt from my interview with @CNBC on $PSUS and $PS.
I bought 500,000 shares of $PSUS and 800,000 shares of $PS yesterday in the open market.
PSUS trades at a large discount to its $49 cash per share and PS trades below the price, $26.25, at which we sold a 10% interest in the business to strategic investors two years ago when we had approximately half our current fee-paying assets.
Ryan Israel, our CIO, and I are going to do a Spaces on @X tomorrow to answer your questions. We look forward to it.
