It's been a while since we've posted a Razor's Edge episode, and a lot has happened! A whole banking crisis came and went and apparently is all resolved (?). More relevant to the sort of things we talk about, the Nasdaq has returned to full bull market mode, powered by the excitement around generative AI, as best embodied by Nvidia's smashing earnings report of late May 2023. There's a lot to be legitimately excited about with this trend, and at the same time, like every exciting new thing, there's a lot to be suspicious of. Is generative AI going to generate us right out of what was still a re-centering, declining tech market? Can generative AI be good for every publicly traded tech company except CHGG? When does chat GPT replace us as hosts? That's what we cover on this week's episode, more or less.Topics Covered3:00 minute mark - The macro backdrop for this bifurcated rally 7:30 – What we learned from NVDA’s report 15:30 – How this AI compute trend plays out across the semiconductor sector 24:00 – AI uses and AI losers or trade-offs 34:00 – Bear market rally, death of permabears, and the many crosswinds 46:00 – How the cost-cutting rally collides with the AI investment rally 53:30 – How does anyone get an edge using AI

The AI Rally: Sorting out Heft from Hype

It’s been a funky start to the year, as a dash for trash rally has extended into a not as bad as expected earnings rally, and now it’s easy to be wrongfooted. We dive into this market, including how markets don't go straight to zero, no matter what December felt like; how recessions take a long time to play out; what we can learn from moves in Twilio and Meta; and why the rise of AI has complicated narratives.

The 2023 Market’s Squeezy, Trashy, Inevitable Start to the Year

On this week's The Razor's Edge, we talk about software as a service and how the market seems to repeat the same patterns over and over. Those patterns include: Taking the last three months and the next three months and extrapolating far into the future Ignoring valuation until it's too late to ignore valuation Searching for silver bullet explanations and one-size-fits-all theories  This time around that means that some of the first Covid winners and first Covid hangover victims are starting to look like interesting post-hangover recoveries; that usage based business models are just business models with their pluses and minuses; and that profitability matters, whether its actual profitability or easy to see how a company cuts to get there.

All-star guest Compound248 joins us to follow up on a wild week in the markets. We talk Elon Musk’s high volume start as owner of Twitter and the SBF, FTX, crypto crisis. Akram's Razor and Compound go back and forth on the import for the cryptosphere, why Elon and team could have taken easier shots on goal, and break down what breaking the buck means, among other topics.  It's a story of the Hindenburg and the Titanic, and we see how things got to where they are and what might change. 5:00 minute mark – Twitter – the Twitter turmoil in the Musk era, and what Twitter could/should be doing now, the power of direct messages, Elon’s core thesis and the voices in his ear, the timing; Twitter’s data business and a SaaS digression 44:00 minute mark – FTX – the building blocks that lead to FTX’s and SBF’s rise; where things went wrong; the importance of staying silent as a levered brokerage business; the Lehman and other parallels; SBF’s use of Twitter; Binance’s checkmate move and whether it was proximate or definitive; breaking the buck; the final takeaways for crypto and for bitcoin – bull or bear?

Compound248 on Twitter’s New Era and the SBF/FTX Meltdown

Last week was a big week in tech, so we’re back with an episode on two of the biggest stories. First, (2:40 minute mark) we break down Meta Platforms’ bummer of an earnings result and why it shouldn’t have been so surprising. What choice does Zuck have and where is the business heading? We then (57:00) get into Amazon and AWS’s disappointing quarter, and the future of public cloud. That opens up some space for talking about the generals no longer leading and what a downturn in VC funding means for big tech. We wrap up with a few minutes on Twitter (1:30:00) now that the Elon Musk deal is done and dusted. Check out Akram’s post on these matters.

Meta’s Crash And Tricky Position, and the Slowing of AWS and Public Cloud Growth

Q2 earnings season has delivered many surprises on the one hand and continuations of trends on the other hand. For SaaS companies, that has meant continued drifting. Last week, Okta, MDB, and Veeva reported, and we break down each of those companies on this week's the Razor's Edge (you can also read Akram's take here). We get into the challenges each of those companies face, but also the broader difference between "legacy" SaaS companies like Salesforce and the newer all cloud products like Okta.Topics Covered2:30 minute mark - Okta’s earnings – what went wrong and what differentiates the Oktas from the Salesforces 10:00 – The value of “the suits” and the challenge of building a microservice-based business model 23:00 – The presumption that software is a great model 28:00 – MDB’s earnings 40:00 – Cutting to profitability amidst the tech recession 52:00 – The consolidation calvary is not about to arrive, and what else to watch 58:00 – Notes on Veeva 1:04:00 – Docusign preview

Roku's dud of a quarter echoed both Snap's report from the week earlier and the start of the pandemic as the sudden advertising slowdown hit them as well. The issues with Roku go beyond the quarter, starting primarily with how much harder it is to understand the details of their business. Will this quarter force a change?

Roku’s Wipeout and whether the Black Box will Open

It’s all happening: Elon Musk filed to terminate his deal to buy Twitter, Twitter sued him for specific performance, and now the trials begin. Today, not a trial actually but a hearing to see whether the trial should take place on Twitter’s requested timeline, in September, or Musk’s requested timeline, in February. Still, the two sides are starting to show their hands. While much of this ‘negotiating’ has been done in public, the filings were still revelatory. So, as we approach the endgame of the endgame, Akram's Razor and Daniel talk about what we learned, what happens next, and who has a stronger hand; though I don’t think you’ll be surprised by our conclusions if you’ve listened to us before.  Topics Covered 3:30 minute mark – Initial takeaways from the filings 12:30 – Twitter bot approach and response 15:00 – Breaking down Elon’s breach filing 23:30 – Takeaways from Twitter’s filing 29:00 – Recutting a deal and the Anaplan parallel 48:00 – Musk’s motivations and laziness 1:00:00 – What happens next? 1:09:30 – The “the court wouldn’t risk being ignored” argument 1:14:00 – The prisoner’s dilemma result of an actual acquisition 1:18:00 – The size of the deal  1:28:30 – Last thoughts

Neither Akram nor Daniel are in an apocalyptic mood, so we explain why we’re not, what green shoots there are on the supply side, what risks there are on the demand side, how this echoes 2020 (or not), how much crypto contagion worries us, and why it’s tricky picking individual names.Topics Covered2:00 minute mark – An apocalyptic moment?

The Bear Market Is Here: What Next?

This week's episode picks up where last week's The Razor's Edge episode left off. We talk the current whipsaw/whiplash macro environment, where a smaller, often over optimistic social media company can trigger a panic, and then news that is no worse than expected can fire up a bear market rally. We discuss tech stocks, retail stocks, and whether it's possible to be too bearish or too bullish as the winds shift.

Four different forces combined to create a big sell-off last week, and then a jagged but strong rebound this week. There's of course the spread of the coronavirus, COVID-19. There is the Democratic primary in the US and what it foretells for the Presidential election in November. There is the, ahem, healthy valuation of the stock market, poised at all-time highs before the 7-session sell-off. And there's the role of the Federal Reserve, both in setting interest rates and in providing liquidity to the markets. We try to break down what matters and what is transient here, while conceding that uncertainty is a big part of the overall outlook.Topics Covered3:00 minute mark - How are you sizing the current market correction?
