This episode is brought to you by PNC Bank. A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring. And sure, they definitely can be. But understanding a professional's routine shows us how they achieve their success little by little, day after day. It's like banking with PNC Bank. It might seem boring to save, plan and make calculated decisions with your bank, but keeping your money boring is what helps you live a more happily fulfilled life.

Think Meta, definitely in this class is incredibly strong. Hell of a turnaround from 2022. I think it's unfair, but I think it's just like general market conditions that's dragging them a hell of a lot lower.
A
I'm with you. 100. Meta is a buy. In fact, I, when I saw it drop 15, I bought it. Now it's down 23. I might have to add some shares to the portfolio again. I, I like the aggressiveness of Zuckerberg. Their CapEx spend, you know, they said they're increasing it. They're all in on this. They understand the severity of winning this, this, this AI race. They have the innovation, they have the data. When you're talking about all the platforms that they have at their disposal, they have products now that the glasses are doing pretty well.
C
Glasses are doing incredibly well and they're.
A
Expanding their data center expansion and their vision for AI, all pun intended, is very clear. And it's going to cost and the understanding of that and the fact I think, you know, people took, took his cadence during the earnings call a little too hard and said he was a little too lackluster and a little frivolous about how he's speaking about this CapEx.
C
But investment, that's the part.
A
That's it.
C
If he did okay, and I was super critical of the metaverse investment in that story, but he's investing into the right things at the right price at the right time. To not be left behind when Apple didn't and they get punished makes no sense, you can argue I won't do it this week. But this year Zuckerberg has been better than Cook. There's no question.
A
Oh, his. The, the resurgence has been incredible.
F
Right?
A
Like we're talking, I mean, it was down in the 490s. I know it pulled back obviously during the, the deep sea thing, but it's rebound. It was at 7 over like 750 at 1.749 and obviously it's pulled back here and you know, it's part of one of those golden rules of investment for me. If, if an asset that I truly, truly believe in is at a discount if it's between 20 to 30 and then I also see the options down 30, 40, this it hits the check it check, check, check. All I gotta do now is execute and Meta has done that and it's done it again. I might have to reposition it.
C
But yeah, operating margin 45 margin is 32%.
A
Yeah.
F
Which is, which is the opposite for.
A
A company like all again, all these companies not created equal. Core Weave, we've been speaking about it and I know it's one of the companies you just said, but we've been saying six months, six months. That's been our golden rule. Six months came in September. It's been trending downwards since they reported earnings. And I like Core Weave, I've always said I like it. The only thing that troubled me was the debt, right? Like that matter, their data center expansion, it's not. They had to take on debt to expand. Now they do have Nvidia as a partner, but when you think of how they're using Nvidia, right? Like Nvidia is applying GPUs to them, but they're not the top of the line GPUs, right? Like it's not Blackwell, it's not Blackwell Ultra, it's not Ruben. They were using the H20s and so the hoppers for those who are in the know. But when you think about that, right, like people are going to lease that compute but they're leasing it at a lower tier model, right? So that almost becomes a depreciating asset every time the company puts out a newer version. So by the time you earnest, what's up?

So you're telling me that the AI that's meant to make everyone's job easier to manage just adds more to manage on top of the thousands of apps the IT department already manages? Funny how that works. Any business can add AI. IBM helps you scale and manage AI to change how you do business. Let's create Smile to Business IBM. Using the hopper. They've already had Blackwell by the time you got Blackwell and you're leasing, they've all. And then it's Rubin. Rubin. And so that becomes a depreciating asset. That business model is interesting, but the debt that they're taking on to. To expand is concerning because they have to generate a certain amount of revenue just to offset it. And it doesn't look like they're doing that right now, which is why you saw the stock fall so greatly From, I think 149. I think it's trading at like 70 now. And so that. That's my. My slight issue with Corey. I think it'll be here obviously, as Nvidia is has a vested stake in them, but that's my major concern record.
C
Even with that core weave having a partnership with Nvidia, Corey is a mistress with a lot of debt. Just because you get to hang out once a week, it does not mean that your primary investment is over. With all y' all who kept acting like y' all on the video, it's over with all the holders. Some dead is good. Just a prime example of why it's not.
A
No, you're saying they're over with Chloe.
C
Not saying that they're not a class. No, no.
A
I started it by saying.
F
But it's a lot of people who.
C
Were like, what they're gonna do.
F
Yeah, you know what because people, people.
A
Traded it and they did make money. So I'm not mad at those people who like hey, I was part of the IPO when it was at 40, then around great, I'm all for it.
C
That's dope if you're in the private market. But even the people at the private they got rid of it. That's a shot. That's the other stock game.
A
Yeah, the sell off. That's why I said we got to wait six months. Because after that six months hold up. We're going to see people say, all right, we're taking profit. We've made money, we've had it pre ipo. This is a nice run up.
F
Let's.
A
Let's take some profit off the table for events like this where it's now trading at 70. So we'll see where it heads over the next couple weeks. We'll see Wednesday again will be a teller.
F
Right.
C
They'll bounce back eventually get back into the 90s 100 range. But they that run up from 40 to like 170. Yeah, it was crazy overvalued chat put in chat, hit the like button and share. What about Palantir?
A
I think Palt's issue is his valuation. What's the number? 17 something.
C
1700 is too high. Like great company. I don't like what they do. I'm starting to like Alex a hell of a lot as the CEO, I won't lie. I don't like the mission because of how it affects black and brown people. But when it ran from 584 to 207 great returns. If you made money on it, I'm incredibly happy. But I don't know technically. Okay. If Palantir is publicly traded and are real getting as much coverage and lore around it. It's scary. If I'm a Palantir owner for sure now is there an ecosystem of both of them can thrive And I think of course Alex is a Elon ask CEO where he's driving a lot of the value through his vision, work ethic, selection and curation of executive executive management team for sure. But the valuation on this company is, is too high. And I even think if you look at Peter Thiel and Alex would if you got them in a private conversation they would tell you the same thing. Like the true range. They should be in the 1:21:30 range. If they were there, there would be more room to to go. But they hit their high for the year for sure.
A
The forward PE is 185.
C
That's insane.
A
So I mean the revenue, the revenue isn't matching that just yet. Will it at some point.
C
Right.
A
We're talking about the amount of government contracts that they will secure. And I'm not just talking domestically, I'm talking like global government contracting that I'm sure that they'll play a role in. Yeah, that number, that, that, that, that revenue has to come in at some, at some point that could even match this. I think they're, they're a victim of, hey, this thing has run too high. People are talking about an AI bubble. This is AI tech in the, in the sense of having defense tech. Who is the poster child for high valuation. I think they're the poster child and this is the repercussions of it, this pullback here.
C
After the Nvidia trade took off so well, everyone was looking for the next thing to park money into. Great company once again. Don't like the mission earners?

Memorable Moment:
The hosts strongly favor Meta as a sound long-term AI investment, citing Zuckerberg's focus, innovation, and infrastructure push—despite recent market pullbacks and negative sentiment from earnings calls. They contrast this with challenges seen in other AI-adjacent firms like CoreWeave (debt, hardware depreciation) and Palantir (valuation risk). Across the episode, recurring advice centers on using market volatility as a buying opportunity, but only for companies with rock-solid business models and management.
Overall Take: Meta stands out as the current top AI buy, primarily due to leadership, discipline in investment, and an ecosystem advantage, while caution is urged for speculative high-valuation plays elsewhere.
