Allbirds' brazen move, Saudi’s abandoning LIV golf and Bryce’s investing strategy explained

4/19/202634 min

A former sneaker darling reinventing itself as an AI compute business, a Saudi-backed golf league reportedly burning through cash at an eye-watering rate, and a practical look at how Bryce is trying to bring more structure to his stock picking. It’s a sharp reminder that markets can get irrational fast and that having a repeatable investment process matters when the noise gets loud.

00:00 - Allbirds' ditches shoes for AI

07:47 - Why LIV Golf may be running out of runway

14:39 - Bryce's new investment process

18:40 - Using the four step stock checklist

20:43 - DCFs, fair value and testing assumptions

23:35 - Cooling-off periods and writing theses

27:23 - Running the current portfolio through the framework

31:12 - Why being directionally right matters more than perfect models

DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) Formula: a valuation method that determines an investment's current value by projecting its future cash flows and discounting them back to the present using a specific rate. It helps determine if an investment, project, or asset is worth its current cost, with primary applications in capital budgeting, company valuation, and stock analysis.
