- Embodied AI (physical + digital) is severely underappreciated by markets
- Elon’s recent FSD breakthrough, solving “the last mile” problem, positions Tesla to dominate autonomous mobility
- Wright’s Law Investment Framework: Cost per unit falls by a constant percentage with every cumulative doubling of production

- Portfolio Management Beyond Headlines: Selling Nvidia from early entry at $0.20 per share was not necessarily a mistake if proceeds were used to buy another stock that 10x’d in price
- Opportunity cost matters more than hindsight narratives
- ARK trades volatility thresholds around conviction holdings without thesis changes
- Bull Market Discipline and Rebalancing: Top-performing stocks go crazy in bull runs; this requires active diversification and profit-taking
- End-point sensitivity in performance criticism ignores the fund timeframe
- Her future strategy: aggressive rebalancing guidance to counter fear/greed cycles inherent to retail investor behavior
