Monkey had the worst week ever. He opens the $ASTS segment with Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefónica and Vodafone signing a letter of intent to explore a joint bid for satellite spectrum, admits he bought his two calls at the worst possible time, then hears the advice Luke sent him by WhatsApp that morning: the world is a cruel place, and as investors we just need to suck it up, learn and move forwards. Monkey takes the hit and argues that a week like this is when you do the diligence. Then Luke brings REA, the GitHub tool that reverse engineers apps down to native binaries, and the two of them go through Hamilton Helmer's 7 Powers column by column to see which moats AI can cross, by copying them or by routing around them: Sea Limited's Garena, Alphabet's search business, Lemonade, Adobe, Nintendo, Palantir and more go under the microscope. 🌩️ Monkey's worst week and Luke's advice: suck it up, learn, move forwards 🚗 Tesla's flying Roadster demo: freak show or engineering? 🇪🇺 Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefónica and Vodafone sign a letter of intent to explore a joint bid for satellite spectrum 🛰️ $ASTS at $16B against Starlink: the valuation gap Monkey can't square ⚖️ Position sizing: Luke's small start vs Monkey's big bet 🤖 REA, the GitHub tool that reverse engineers apps down to native binaries 🏰 Hamilton Helmer's 7 Powers, column by column 🎮 $SE: Garena was 10.5% of Sea's 2025 revenue and 60% of its operating income 🔍 $GOOGL: Search is 56% of Alphabet's revenue, and AI agents may route around it 🖌️ $ADBE: from 21.7x sales in November 2021 to 3.7x at the Oct 16 close 🏛️ $PLTR: government and commercial halves, 72.6x sales at the Oct 16 close SEGMENTS 00:00 Cold open01:37 Tesla's flying Roadster: freak show or engineering?02:54 $ASTS on the fringes of the Musk empire05:28 When Starlink turns from partner to competitor06:16 Monkey's $ASTS calls and a brutal week08:30 Why weeks like this end investing journeys12:37 Small companies, rates and the cost of capital15:41 To $ASTS shareholders: the valuation gap with Starlink19:16 Position sizing: a small start vs a big bet21:46 Is AI doomed?

Luke calls in from a hotel in Crete with a glass of the house honey ale, and Monkey needs one: on Thursday night SpaceX agreed to buy a block of low-band spectrum, T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon fell on Friday, and $ASTS went dropped 16% with them. Monkey argues the market got it backwards, because the carriers just lost their other options, and walks through a one-week call he bought as the stock climbed back.

Badger calls in from Crete after a week in which he trimmed $CRWD to 3% of his retirement portfolio and nearly sold $NU on a Monzo rumor. Monkey read a bear essay on AI spending and started talking himself out of $CIFR. The top 20 stocks were 38% of the S&P 500 at the dot-com peak and are over 50% now; Badger's argument, after ten bull and bear cycles, is that it may not matter which one we're in. With three weeks left in year three of King of the Jungle, the co-hosts are within 2% of each other (and kicking the market's butt). 🎓 Bill Gates on AI tutoring vs Monkey's classroom, where students outsource the struggle 📉 A bear essay on AI spend vs AI revenue, and Badger's case for hardware over the labs 🥧 S&P 500 concentration: top 20 were 38% of the index at the dot-com peak, over 50% now 📈 Ten bull and bear cycles, and why you should stay in the game regardless 🦍 Monkey's four AI data-center stocks, $IREN, $DGXX, $CIFR and $SLNH - which one is he selling? 🛑 $NU: the Monzo rumor, the sell Badger skipped, and why you have more time than you think 🛡️ $CRWD at $275B: why Badger trimmed 🤝 You owe it to your friends to teach them the power of long-term investing SEGMENTS 00:00 Cold open and intro 02:29 Bill Gates on AI and education vs Monkey's classroom 07:27 The bear essay, half one: AI spend vs AI revenue 09:59 Luke's pushback: the labs have no moat, the hardware does 11:28 The bear essay, half two: 2008-style debt 15:03 S&P 500 concentration: top 20 at the dot-com peak vs now 17:08 Monkey's own exposure: $IREN, Anthropic and the domino risk 19:17 The S&P top 10 is one correlated trade 22:03 Ten bull and bear cycles: why you stay in the game regardless 24:00 Monkey's conundrum: four AI data-center stocks, sell $CIFR? 28:54 The laziness factor and number one vs number two 32:50 Where the money goes, and Monkey talks himself into selling 36:15 $NU: the Monzo rumor and the impulse sell Badger skipped 39:48 $CRWD: five years in, a $275B name, trimmed to 3% 44:07 Selling winners: earnings-call hours as goodwill 45:50 Bull or bear?

Monkey combs through the losers at the back of his King of the Jungle portfolio and asks whether you should add on big drops. He never added to $MRLN, now down close to 80%, and says that was right; but holding back on Chainlink cost him a double. Badger reviews Thomas Chua's The Lunch Break Investor, and reflects on his own $NIKE misstep. After Monkey's $NKTR update on the Lilly verdict, Badger stress-tests his own high-conviction $AMZN position against the capex bill and the rise of shopping agents. 🐒 Monkey bought $MRLN at about $8, already 50% off the top, and never added as it kept falling 🔗 Chainlink gave him a technical buy signal in early September; he passed and $LINK doubled 🧬 $NKTR won $90m from Lilly at trial, a tenth of the $1bn some investors had hoped for. Monkey says about $1bn in cash lasts to mid-2028, and he puts the buyout odds above 50% 🎋 The Lunch Break Investor says wealth compounds like bamboo (a simile, Monkey points out) 👟 Luke owns his $NIKE call: the direct-to-consumer pivot handed shelf space to rival brands 📦 On $AMZN, ads topped $76bn over the last 12 months and AWS brought in $148bn at a 39% margin 🤖 Luke's worry: shopping agents like $META's Muse won't be lured by Amazon's ads SOURCES The Lunch Break Investor: https://steadycompounding.com/the-lunch-break-investor/ Best Stock Market Podcasts For Beginners (we're number nine!): https://podcast.feedspot.com/stock_market_podcasts_for_beginners/ SEGMENTS 00:00 Cold open 00:32 Intro: big drops and Nektar from Monkey, Amazon from Badger 01:06 WSOP Malta: the poker Badger never played 04:12 Big drops: why Monkey didn't average down 06:11 $MRLN: correct not to add 09:43 Chainlink: a mistake not to add 15:00 Live stablecoin question and the November 10x revisit 20:12 $PRCT and $OPEN: same rule, the first bite is enough 21:20 The Lunch Break Investor: compounding like bamboo 27:00 Brand as a verb, and Badger's Nike confession 33:19 Spawners vs diworsifiers: AWS and the Fire Phone 37:26 Should you buy $NKTR?

Krzysztof pitches Compass Pathways: both phase 3 trials of its pharmaceutical psilocybin are already positive, approval looks likely in early 2027, and the company holds 400-plus million in cash against about 40 million a quarter of burn, which by his math is ten quarters of runway. Stanford's Kevin Mak took a position, and Krzysztof walks through Mak's seven structural reasons the stock hasn't rerated. Luke explains gilt laddering as the cash sleeve of a portfolio, which turns into an argument about whether the US can grow its way out of $40 trillion of debt with the 30-year over 5%, and he names HSBC for fumbling his CyberArk payout nearly a year after Palo Alto closed the deal. Voting is open on the September community portfolio: Kraken Robotics, Rocket Lab and Shopify. 🍄 Should you buy $CMPS? The drug works, both phase 3 trials are positive, and the one grey area is whether insurers pay for a dose that needs six-plus hours of clinician supervision 🧠 Kevin Mak's seven reasons: a UK ADR no US index owns, thin institutions, career risk for any analyst who says "buy the magic mushroom stock", no valuation framework, M&A unpriced. A $2 billion company sitting at $15 resistance off a low of $2; Mak's number if you run it is about $45 a share 🗳️ September community portfolio: Kraken Robotics, $RKLB and $SHOP, voting is open at wallstreetwildlife.com 🚀 Luke's Rocket Lab average buy was $3-something; it got as high as $130 and is a $60-something stock now 🛍️ Paul thought $SHOP was overvalued until he opened his own storefront on it; Luke says Shopify got him across the line into early retirement 🧘 Beginner's mind: look at a stock you think you already know with fresh eyes 💷 Gilts in a minute: short-dated UK government bonds, refreshed every six months, as the cash you never leave idle 🇺🇸 The 30-year over 5% on $40 trillion of debt: growth has to beat the interest bill, which is why Krzysztof holds Bitcoin (and the crypto that is not a crypto that shall not be mentioned) 🏦 HSBC vs Trading 212 on the CyberArk acquisition: one converted in a day, one buried itself in bureaucracy and broken processes.

Episode 150 is the first Wall Street Wildlife recorded live in front of the Patreon community, questions from the chat included. Monkey makes the case for Oddity Tech after the post-earnings pop, the King of the Jungle scoreboard turns into a hare-versus-tortoise argument, and we spend half an hour on the 3,800 words Dario Amodei wrote asking the whole AI industry to slow down.🐢 King of the Jungle year three, six weeks to go: year one Badger won, year two Monkey ripped 380% (fourteen times the market) while Badger delivered 93%.

Two companies crater 48% and 33% in a single day. One gets sold immediately. One gets held. The difference? It comes down to whether management made a mistake, or committed fraud. This week, Krzysztof walks through three small-cap bloodbaths in real time, Luke dissects whether Adyen is a sleeping giant or a value trap, and someone on X accuses Luke of faking his 23% CAGR.
