Substack author, Asymmetrical Bets
Asymmetrical Bets is a Substack investment research newsletter written by Michael Sikand and Kawz, who posts on X as @KawzInvests. Sikand, a media entrepreneur, co-founded the short-form business media company Our Future, which Morning Brew acquired in January 2023, and holds a bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business; the about page describes Kawz as an engineer and computer scientist focused on micro-caps and structural mispricings. The newsletter publishes several research articles a week, including earnings previews, CEO-interview analyses and portfolio updates, runs a Discord community and says it looks for mispriced stocks tied to major secular themes with strong fundamentals. Coverage skews to semiconductors, optical networking and AI hardware.
