@FluentInQuality Too bad they arrogantly raise prices instead of quietly letting their moat work
English

$FICO has a wide moat. But not for the reason most people think.
The moat is NOT underwriting.
Capital One built its own scoring system. Affirm uses transaction history. Upstart eliminated FICO requirements entirely for some lenders.
The real moat is the benchmark.
Here's the distinction that matters:
Even when a lender doesn't use FICO to approve a loan, they still report FICO scores to investors, regulators, and analysts on the back end.
CarMax explicitly said in 2014: "FICO scores are not a significant factor in our primary scoring model."
Yet CarMax's latest auto loan ABS still references a weighted average FICO score.
That's the network effect in action. Once every bank, investor, regulator, and consumer speaks the same language, you can't displace the language.
80%+ of Fair Isaac's profits come from the scores segment.
That segment has one moat source: every stakeholder in the credit ecosystem is locked into FICO as the common denominator.
Wide moat. Fully justified.

Posting this as an update and for transparency. Currently down 15k on $FICO.
Personally not worried about this; I’m continuing to add every paycheck. For me, this style of investing requires grit and confidence in my own research. It’s certainly not for everyone, and I believe doing high-quality independent research is vital. Hope you are all doing great!
Long $FICO. Not financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

@fiscorainvest I don’t think your long MNST because you are prone to sell and reallocate May times. Long means you are buying with the intention of holding for the long term. All respect

@WillBiddy_ There is definitely upside in buying intuit at theee values but I don’t see Tax software having a strong enough moat to overcome ai pressures. I feel this especially towards turbotax and mail chimp. Toast, I see as something that won’t have enough demand moving forward. CPRT idk
English

@SignaStrategies I definitely understand the Hood and PayPal exclusion.
Why Intuit Copart or Toast?

@ariaradnia Would you rather successfully predict a market crash but have no liquid cash, or only invest in companies sub 20 P/E

@ariaradnia Would you rather chose your own stocks or be able to buy ETFs tracking any investor of your choosing ex: Dev Kantasaria

@TheLongAJ What’s the thesis on selling NVDA? Lowest valuation in a long time with arguably the widest moat guiding do ridiculous growth
English

@ariaradnia I feel quite strongly that companys like CRWD, Palo Alto networks and AXON will use AI and quickly become mission critical as their niche and use cases cannot really be overtaken by AI.
None are at buying valuations at the moment but keeping an eye out.

@THATBOYMMAGURU Don’t forget delete early prelims, cut a good chunk of the roster that can’t perform or win a fight, and use that money to improve fighter pay

@HatedMoats I refuse to believe you just happened to have 10k sitting around in cash to make this buy

@FluentInQuality Adobe probably Microsoft and meta pretty close behind
