Meta's AI Acquisition Spree, Google in AI, Boston Beer’s Valuation, and 100-Bagger Lessons
In this episode, we cover several major developments in tech and investing. We start by asking: Has Google already lost the AI race? Then we look at Meta’s aggressive AI strategy — including high-profile acquisition attempts and the hiring of former OpenAI executives — and whether it’s time to consider selling the stock. We also revisit The Boston Beer Company and its valuation, wondering if it’s as cheap as it looks. Finally, we reflect on the real challenge of not just finding but holding onto 100-baggers in a volatile market.
