In 1974, Warren Buffett had his worst year ever in terms of performance.
Berkshire Hathaway had lost -48.7% that year due to soaring inflation and oil prices. In November 1974, Buffett gave an interview with Forbes Magazine.
The advice he gave was timeless.
$SNAP Management would once again like to thank our shareholders for financing our homes in the Hamptons and paying for diamond shoes for the mistress.
Hey Dad, where are we in the economic cycle ?
Well son, this is the part of the cycle where we are making so much money that Dan Ives is dressed like a pills dealer in Ibiza.
Embarrassing
Looking back at this video of Chamath from 2 years ago is so amazing.

Congrats young man. This is the way.
Amazon’s earnings press release was 18 pages long. Within 10 secs of the earnings release, the stock was up 15% impacting 200B$ of mkt value. You’re not competing against other people’s emotions, you’re competing against emotionless algorithms.

$SNAP Ah yes, the good ole "great quarter guys" but first let us sell our shares after earnings and
rug pull you a month later and say macro has deteriorated faster than anticipated.
Thanks for playing.
$ABNB lost 1/5th of its value in 4days after record earnings , beating guidance and positioned for the re-opening better than anyone.

If you're a junior PM at a hedge fund, I would resign and start my own fund and buy any 25-30 of these names.
You might look like a genius in 3-5 years.
