The late Maya Angelou famously said, 'When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time'... That goes for companies, too. That's why it comes as no surprise that the wheels seem to be coming off TuSimple (TSP), which during the "Everything Bubble" of recent had been the belle of the autonomous vehicle […]

1) My friend Julia La Roche interviewed my old friend Guy Spier of Aquamarine Capital late last month. In it, they covered the inauspicious start to his career (3:00), learning about Warren Buffett (6:13) and making his first pilgrimage to Omaha (9:47), how the lunch with Buffett was "transformational" (22:30), why he changed his mind […]

I'm from the school of thought that 'every picture tells a story'... I wish I had included the charts and screenshots I'm about to show you in something I wrote last week on the mania surrounding artificial intelligence ("AI"). As is often the case, I didn't think about it until after that piece was published. […]

Editor's note: Today, we're sharing another insight from veteran market timer Mason Sexton. He got worldwide attention for his uncanny prediction of the 1987 stock market crash.

Editor's note: In the 1980s, Mason Sexton became a star on Wall Street... In 1982, he predicted stocks would explode after having gone sideways for 14 years. He was right.
