Summary

Alex Good explains his trading edge from advertising data, the 'goldfish theory' of predictable attention, his bearish view on Palantir, the coming AI-induced unemployment wave, trades around Nintendo and IP-rich companies benefiting from AI copyright, and a macro thesis that AI regulation will lead to a sovereign margin call, making Bitcoin attractive.

  • Alex Good built a trading edge by analyzing advertising data to find mispriced stocks like Amazon and EA.
  • His 'goldfish theory' holds that attention patterns and conversion rates are more predictable than fundamental outcomes.
  • He is bearish on Palantir because LLMs increasingly work without ontologies, and competition fragments attention.
  • AI-driven job losses are expected within three months as overstaffed firms like Accenture are forced to cut costs.
  • Nintendo is a long idea due to memory cost relief and AI-powered IP monetization.
  • Companies with strong IP (Disney, Hasbro, Games Workshop) will benefit as AI copyright enforcement tightens.
  • The sovereign margin call thesis: AI won't deliver the necessary productivity to escape debt, making Bitcoin a key hedge.
  • Speculation will surge, benefiting trading platforms like Robinhood, Interactive Brokers, and Hyperliquid.
Ideas

SpaceX IPO bearish for Tesla.
A SpaceX IPO would fragment Elon Musk's attention and create a competing product, which is unambiguously bearish for Tesla stock. Investors should monitor this risk.

Ontologies becoming useless, competition fragments attention.
Palantir's core business rests on ontologies being necessary for LLMs to work. As AI models become more capable, the need for ontologies decreases linearly. Competition from Anthropic and OpenAI, each deploying forward-deployed engineers, fragments attention. Trading at 100x sales, Palantir will face significant investor headwinds.

Accenture layoffs could trigger stock bottom.
Accenture stock has been crushed but headcount remains high. Forced layoffs are likely as management reacts to the share price, which could mark a bottom and create a turnaround opportunity.

Memory relief and AI IP monetization.
Nintendo stock is down 60% year-on-year due to memory bottlenecks preventing console launches. If memory costs break, the stock could rebound. Additionally, Nintendo's strong IP franchise (Mario) stands to benefit as AI models face copyright enforcement, forcing platforms to pay for IP usage.

AI copyright will enrich IP holders.
Companies with core canonical and Lindy intellectual property (IP) will benefit as AI models increasingly rely on copyrighted material. Legal settlements and regulation will force AI firms to pay IP holders, creating a new revenue stream for owners of popular franchises.

AI biotech overhyped, regulation will stifle.
Applying AI to biotech carries extreme tail risk (a single bio-event could trigger bans) and will face heavy national-security regulation. The consensus trade is long biotech on AI hopes, but that optimism is misplaced.
Alexander Good Author, Good Alexander (Substack) 46:05
Speculation surge benefits trading platforms.
As AI reduces productivity gains and jobs, people will increasingly speculate and recycle capital into the attention economy. Trading platforms like Robinhood, Interactive Brokers, and on-chain venues like Hyperliquid will be the 'kingmakers' in this speculative regime.

Sovereign debt crisis bullish for Bitcoin.
The assumption that AI will rescue the global debt bubble is flawed. Without a massive productivity surge, a sovereign margin call becomes likely, making decentralized stores of value like Bitcoin attractive.
