Summary
The post asks which industries the OP, u/Forecydian, considers "uninvestable" from a value investing perspective.
The author's thesis is that several industries, including airlines, commodities, certain biotech, auto makers, and companies with unethical management, are structurally poor investments due to factors like high competition, cyclicality, regulatory risk, and governance issues.
Quality assessment: This is noise / opinion. It is a list of personal preferences with no supporting data, research, or valuation analysis.
Super Micro Computer (SMCI) is cited as an example of a company with "unethical management," making it uninvestable. The author explicitly singles out SMCI's management as unethical, implying a governance risk. If management is unethical, it represents a severe non-financial risk that could lead to value destruction, scandals, or misallocation of capital, prompting value investors to avoid the stock. A governance-based avoidance thesis. The author suggests the company's management quality invalidates it as a potential investment, regardless of financial metrics. The claim is subjective and unsubstantiated. Management could change, or the market may ignore governance issues if financial performance remains strong.
