February 24, 2023, marks a depressing anniversary: exactly 12 months since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, initiating what has become one of the most pivotal, period-defining international crises in the post-Cold War era. This week, we hosted an investor call with Bruce Jentleson, the William Preston Few Distinguished Professor of Public Policy at Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy and author of the book Sanctions: What Everyone Needs to Know. Today, building on the Raymond James policy research team’s perspectives published this week, we are providing a one-year update on three of the war’s key dimensions: geostrategic…

LI appears to be having robust success in its new product launches: LI used to be a one product company (LI One) and rightly investors were concerned about LI’s ability to design and launch successful new products.

Deliveries of L8 (upgraded version of original LI One) since last Nov have also been solid and met with positive consumer reviews. In addition, LI has announced…

“We have learned much in the last year of bitter fighting — how innovative minds and advanced technology, in particular software and artificial intelligence, can be paired in ways that allow David to beat a modern-day Goliath. How our approach to any conflict in the Pacific is being foreshadowed on the eastern plains of Europe. And how private industry has a foundational responsibility to partner with government to defend democratic institutions and the national interest.” Destruction and injustice can take many forms that touch an entire society and cross borders. But we have also witnessed the potential for software to…

Introduction: Commercial: Governmental: Consumption Based Pricing: NDRR: SBC: Profitability: Outlook: Introduction: Palantir earnings released within the past few days, revealing some positive progress, yet also concerning negative outlook for the future of the company. Today, I want to go over the most important principles I look at when computing success of the Palantir business model. Whilst the quarter, and the year, specifically from a financial perspective has been steady – if somewhat disappointing – the underlying business is chugging along nicely. Whilst there is limited exponentiality present this year, and specifically for the final quarter, the underlying business is steady.…

Letter To Shareholders: Long Term Vision: There are a few noticeable points I want to analyse in regards to the shareholder letter for the company. One point of mention includes Karp’s opening statements of the letter, in which he restates his long term outlook for the company. “Our commitment to and relentless focus on the long term at times has required patience.”CEO Fundamentally, as noted within the past, I do believe that the obsession from Wall Street and the majority of retail investors upon short term metrics and results is dangerous for true wealth generation capabilities. I have noted in…
