$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ Here is the problem ladies and gentleman. It's called instant gratification. As the emotional investor, this creates opportunities. Pltr is crazy expensive on all traditional metrics. And yet, is it? let's start with how you determine the value of a stock.
Back in the 1940s Ben graham And David Dodd nailed it. You buy a stock when it's worth half its break up value. Simple but on point. the mentors of Warren buffet btw. But Mr buffet introduced a new concept. Value is not just tangible assets, it's about moats and brands. Less tangible assets, but assets all the same.
But now there is a new asset. We are no longer in the 1940s or the 1980s. Last time I checked it's 2026. I am rooted in the concepts of all three of the investors I have mentioned. But I would like to suggest a new concept of value going forward.
Value will not be based on a balance sheet of assets to liability. Value will still be associated with brand, and moats. And sadly personality's. Value will not be associated with some brokerage doing a discounted cash flow over 10 years either, that's nonsense too.
Value will be based on future potential. The valuation of palantir by all old metrics is meaningless. vaLue is now about strategy and execution. Value is about the future, not the past. P/e and p/s is meaningless.
I am the emotional investor, it's not about fomo, it's not about bag holding. It's about understanding the stupidity, and taking advantage of it. know the past, but Understand the future. I'll probably add more palantir tomorrow, but I'm more inclined to add some others

- MojoStellar·02-01 16:43Appreciate you sharing this thought-provoking perspective. I hold PLTR as well and agree the market is shifting toward valuing future potential and execution more than legacy metrics. Even if I don’t fully dismiss traditional valuation tools, this is a thought-provoking way to frame where things may be headed.1Report
