Summary

Jonah Van Bourg presents a bullish non-crypto case for Meta, arguing the market is penalizing its AI and AR R&D while underestimating its ability to catch up in AI and monetize through ads. He assigns optionality to smart glasses becoming a new computing platform and says he holds Meta around $500 with 2-3x potential over 2-3 years. He also says he has concentrated Meta instead of a Nasdaq ETF allocation, expecting Meta to outperform the Nasdaq. Avi Felman engages with the thesis and considers reviewing his own portfolio.

  • Jonah pitches Meta as a high-conviction non-crypto trade.
  • He bought Meta around $500 and sees 2-3x potential over 2-3 years.
  • He argues Meta can catch up in AI and improve ad targeting via distribution and a likely open-source LLM.
  • He says the market prices in Meta failing at AI, not becoming a free ChatGPT-like competitor.
  • He sees a 25-30% chance smart glasses/AR become the next computing platform and add at least $3T of market cap.
  • He says Meta is penalized for AI and AR R&D and is the only founder-mode Mag 7 company.
  • He has concentrated Meta instead of a Nasdaq ETF allocation, expecting Meta to outperform the Nasdaq.
  • Avi generally agrees and says he may review his portfolio.

Meta AI and AR optionality drive upside.
Meta is a high-conviction mega-cap long he bought around $500 and sees as a 2-3x over the next 2-3 years. First, Meta is behind in AI, but because LLM training improvements from compute are logarithmic, its large AI investment can bring it to the bleeding edge; it has the world's biggest distribution funnel and can likely open-source its LLM and use it to target ads better than anyone. The market is pricing in Meta failing at AI, not becoming as good as ChatGPT but free. Second, he sees a 25-30% chance that Meta's smart glasses/AR become the next computing platform like the iPhone; if so, Meta becomes the new Apple and adds at least $3T of market cap, with AI synergies. He thinks the market penalizes Meta for AI and AR R&D and underappreciates Zuckerberg as the only founder-mode Mag 7 CEO.

Meta should outperform Nasdaq ETF allocation.
He has concentrated META instead of the allocation he would have put in a NASDAQ ETF because he expects META to massively outperform the Nasdaq in general. This is a relative portfolio-allocation view: favor META over a broad Nasdaq ETF.
