SPECIAL EDITION: THE BUYING OPPORTUNITY OF A GENERATION

The Innovation Boom Has Created Historic Value

We are witnessing the largest innovation boom since the early 1900s—a period that will rival the Industrial Revolution in scope and impact. Yet in recent weeks, many of the most transformational companies of our generation have been put on sale.​

As Dan Ives, Head of Technology Research at Wedbush, recently emphasized: “This software selloff has been the most dramatic I’ve seen in my career…to me it’s one of the most head-scratching selloffs I’ve seen.” He views this volatility not as a reason to panic, but as “a clear buying opportunity”.​​

We couldn’t agree more.

We Are Adding to Our Conviction

At G.L.A. INVEST RESEARCH, we are aggressively adding to our highest-conviction positions:

• TSLA – Tesla continues to revolutionize transportation, energy storage, and robotics

• PLTR – Palantir, down over 30% from recent highs despite exceptional fundamentals

• MSTR – Strategy, the premier Bitcoin treasury company

• HOOD – Robinhood, democratizing finance for the next generation

New Additions to Our Top 10:
We are also excited to announce the addition of ARKVX (ARK Venture Fund) and STRC(Strategy Preferred 10%) to our top ten.

• ARKVX gives us rare access to private innovation companies like SpaceX, Anthropic, and X.AI before they go public, democratizing venture capital for our portfolio.

• STRC provides a powerful income stream with a 10% annual dividend yield, offering stability and consistent cash flow while we wait for our growth thesis to play out.

• We are also adding LMND (Lemonade), which is using AI to fundamentally transform the insurance industry, to our top ten holdings.​

The Market is a Voting Machine, Not a Weighing Machine

This is where discipline separates exceptional investors from the herd. As Benjamin Graham taught us: “The stock market over the short term is a voting machine swayed by news, opinion and emotion. Over the long term, it transforms into a weighing machine that measures a company’s true value”.​

We don’t make emotional decisions. We understand that volatility is the price we pay for exponential growth. The market can act as a smoke screen over weeks or months, creating panic where none is warranted. But over 3-5 years? The weighing machine always wins.

Why This Volatility is Expected—and Opportunity

Based on historical patterns and the magnitude of disruption ahead, we anticipate significant volatility over the next five years. Why? Because AI, robotics, energy storage, blockchain, and genomics are fundamentally reshaping every industry on Earth.​

Only 3% of U.S. companies have begun their AI transformation journey, according to Wedbush research. Europe is at essentially zero. Asia outside China is under 1%. We are in the first inning of a multi-decade revolution.​

When disruption of this magnitude occurs, markets struggle to price it correctly in real-time. Hence the violent swings. Hence the opportunity.

The Strategy That Wins: Know What You Own & Hold

History proves that buying and holding 6-10 exceptional long-term investments dramatically outperforms every other strategy—including trading, market timing, and over-diversification.

But this only works if you:

1. Know what you own – We obsess over understanding our companies’ fundamentals, competitive moats, and addressable markets

2. Stay disciplined – We don’t panic during corrections; we use them to dollar-cost average

3. Remain extremely selective – Only companies that can 10X, 20X, or 30X over 5-10 years make our portfolio​

As Dan Ives noted, investors who don’t know what they own panic during volatility. We don’t. Our research is the courage of our convictions.​

The Hall of Fame for Market Timers is an Empty Room

Missing just the 10 best trading days each year can slash your returns by more than half. These outsized rallies often follow periods of maximum pessimism—exactly like what we’re experiencing now.​

The stock market spends approximately 83% of its time trading within 10% of all-time highs and hits new highs roughly every 30 days. Sitting in cash is trash.

If you lived by these truths during the COVID crash or the April 2025 tariff correction, you were rewarded handsomely. Those who panicked and sold were left behind.​

The Innovation Landscape: Unprecedented Opportunity

We believe global GDP will average above 7% by the end of this decade, compared to the 2-3% average of the past 120 years, driven entirely by AI, robotics, and automation productivity gains.​

The cost declines and productivity improvements will dwarf the internet revolution. The societal impact will be transformative. Those who invest correctly will benefit immensely.

Our Advantage: First Principles Research

While Wall Street panics over quarterly earnings misses and headline noise, we focus on what matters: solving the world’s biggest problems with impenetrable moats, visionary founders, massive addressable markets, and fortress balance sheets.

We invest in companies Wall Street doesn’t yet understand—Tesla, Palantir, MicroStrategy. Our advantage is understanding these businesses before the masses, which allows us to continue outperforming.​

Final Word: Embrace the Volatility

Volatility is a feature, not a bug. Like waves on the ocean or rush-hour traffic, corrections are literally part of this game. We are unphased because we love the opportunity to buy our top investments during a sale.

The stock market is the only store on Earth where shoppers get scared during a sale. Don’t be that shopper.​
