Dave Chapelle For President, The Winners Won, Stripe as King, Trader Talk and Getting Your Kids Investing...

I am a big fan of Dave Chapelle.
His latest piece of story telling gold is up on Instagram titled ‘Unforgiven’.
Ben Thompson has the riff:
“…one best not compete with Chappelle when it comes to story-telling; the way in which the comedian weaves together multiple stories from his childhood on up to the present to make his argument about why he should be paid for the rights to stream Chappelle’s Show is truly extraordinary.”
Here is Ben’s full piece on Dave titled ‘Five Lessons From Dave Chapelle.’
Other good reads from the week…
Michael Batnick’s The Winners Won shows just how silly you were to go small the last decade. I find myself slowly moving away from them as a generation of stock pickers unbundles the S&P 500.
Back to Ben Thompson for this great piece on Stripe…’The Platform of Platforms‘. Stripe is loved by all it seems in 2020. But, Stripe is not a public company. One way I have played this love is owning the European version of Stripe out of Amsterdam called Adyen ($ADYEY). Paypal, Bitcoin, Square, Adyen, Stripe..the people that replaced their bank shares for investments in these modern financial goliaths have been insanely rewarded. It will likely continue and get even worse for the banks.
Next up, here is my weekly riff/conversation with JC of Allstarcharts .
Finally, here is a podcast I did on the podcast #Fatherhoodislit talking about getting your kids to invest.
Have a great Saturday.
