This week, Mike sits down with Neeraj Khemlani and Matthew Ankrom, the minds behind The Coffee Can Investor, to discuss one of our favorite investing topics: finding and holding stocks capable of returning 100x.

We open with Neeraj and Matthew walking us through the story behind the "coffee can" strategy. Inspired by an old investing experiment, Matt set out to build the ultimate long-term portfolio for his three daughters, a collection of businesses he hopes could one day be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. But what exactly makes a 100-bagger?

Drawing on years of research, Matt explains the common traits shared by some of the greatest stock market winners of the last half-century. His research found that many were founder-led, generated recurring revenue, operated in seemingly boring industries, and consistently reinvested capital at high rates for decades.

The vast majority weren't flashy consumer brands or cutting-edge tech companies. Instead, many were business-to-business operators providing mission-critical products and services, think nuts and bolts, seals and gaskets, and industrial supplies.

Of course, finding a 100-bagger is only half the battle. Holding one is much harder.

The average 100-bagger endured drawdowns of roughly 70% on its journey, giving retail investors an edge. Unlike professional fund managers, individual investors aren't forced to think in quarters or even years, they can think in decades.

We also discuss the mathematics of compounding, why exponential growth is so difficult for humans to grasp, and how even Warren Buffett accumulated the vast majority of his wealth later in life.

Finally, Matt shares one of his favorite potential future 100-baggers: TechnologyOne (ASX: TNE), an Australian software business quietly embedding itself into the daily operations of universities and local governments while investing heavily in AI-powered products.

This week, Mike sits down with investor and author Ben Carlson to discuss the habits, mindsets, and mistakes that define successful investing.

We start with the two variables Ben believes matter more than anything else: your time horizon and your risk profile. While most investors focus on picking the right stocks, Ben argues that understanding your willingness, need, and ability to take risk is far more important and often the difference between staying the course and making costly mistakes.

From there, we talk market history. Ben explains why studying past booms and busts isn't about predicting the future but understanding the range of outcomes markets are capable of producing. History teaches us how quickly sentiment can swing from euphoria to panic and why investors should always expect the unexpected.

We also tackle one of investing's most persistent temptations: market timing. Ben argues that trying to jump in and out of markets introduces more problems than it solves, creating a psychological battle that's incredibly difficult to win consistently. To combat the temptation, Ben proposes his concept of a "fun account"—setting aside a small portion of your portfolio for speculation, trading, crypto, or whatever scratches your investing itch. Done correctly, it can help investors stay disciplined with the other 90% of their wealth while learning just how difficult it is to outperform a simple buy-and-hold strategy.

With AI stocks soaring and trillion-dollar IPOs dominating headlines, we naturally have to talk today's market environment. Ben reflects on how technological revolutions have always created uncertainty, why comparing today's AI boom to previous market manias is both useful and dangerous, and why keeping an open mind remains essential for investors. He also explores why markets seem to move faster than ever before.

Finally, Ben explains why optimism may be an investor's most important asset. While crashes, recessions, and bear markets are inevitable, long-term investing ultimately requires a belief that businesses, economies, and human innovation will continue moving forward.

Ahead of its highly anticipated IPO, SpaceX is reportedly targeting a valuation between $1.75 trillion and $2 trillion, numbers that would make it one of the largest public companies in the world from day one. This week, Mike and Emmet ask: does the business justify the hype?

In 2025, revenue reached $18.7 billion, up 33% year over year. But the company also posted a net loss of roughly $5 billion, including a staggering $4.3 billion loss in the first quarter of 2026 alone.

While SpaceX's established businesses, Starlink and Launch Services, continue to expand, the division attracting the most scrutiny is xAI.

Despite contributing just 17% of revenue, xAI generated billions in losses as Elon Musk pours money into competing with the likes of OpenAI and Anthropic. The company has burned through billions on AI infrastructure, but investors are betting today's losses could become tomorrow's dominance.

There are also concerns around governance, float, and a potential merger. Musk controls roughly 85% of the company's voting power, giving him near-total control over board appointments, executive pay, and strategic decisions. Meanwhile, only a small percentage of shares will initially be available to trade, creating the potential for significant volatility once the stock hits public markets. Rumors are also swirling that SpaceX and Tesla could eventually combine forces, creating one of the most ambitious corporate structures in history.Ultimately, investors are being asked to pay a premium today for technologies that may not fully arrive for years—or even decades.

Only time will tell whether SpaceX becomes the company that powers interplanetary travel, AI infrastructure, and space-based energy systems. If it does, today's valuation may end up looking cheap. If not, this could go down as one of the most ambitious IPOs ever brought to market.

This week, Mike and Emmet share some of the craziest stories in stock market history.

Starting with a chimpanzee named Raven, who became a star during the dot-com bubble. After throwing darts at a board of internet stocks, her assembled portfolio returned 213% in 1999, making her the 22nd most successful money manager in the United States that year.

Then there’s the story of Jonathan Lebed — essentially a 14-year-old version of Jordan Belfort. During the early internet era, Lebed made nearly $1 million running pump-and-dump schemes from his bedroom, buying penny stocks before hyping them up in online chat rooms using fake accounts. The strategy was wildly illegal… but also wildly effective.

We also revisit one of the strangest moments of the post-COVID market frenzy: Hertz (HTZ). After filing for bankruptcy, the stock somehow surged nearly 9x as retail investors piled in. Even more bizarre? The company nearly raised fresh capital by selling shares in the bankrupt business — and investors who bought during the chaos actually ended up making money.

From there, we move to one of the most famous short squeezes ever: Volkswagen (VOW3). What began as Porsche quietly building a stake in the automaker spiraled into absolute panic on Wall Street, as hedge funds crowded into what they believed was a “risk-free” arbitrage trade. Instead, Volkswagen briefly became the most valuable company in the world as the stock exploded over three days.

And finally, we tell the story of the “ramen-eating hermit” who made $20 million in 10 minutes.After a catastrophic trading error at Mizuho Securities triggered chaos on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, one obscure retail trader spotted the mistake faster than institutional investors, bought aggressively, and walked away with a fortune. Meanwhile, the brokerage firm behind the error lost an estimated $347 million.

Stay until the end to hear which story the lads love most.

This week, we dive into one of the hottest new companies in AI and the market: Cerebras (CBRS).

The company only just IPO’d, but it’s already valued at close to $100 billion. Even more astonishing? Cerebras was founded just 11 years ago by five engineers.

Its core thesis is radical: the architecture underpinning AI computing is fundamentally flawed.Cerebras argues that GPUs—the chips powering today’s AI boom—were never actually designed for deep learning. They just happened to be dramatically better than CPUs. So instead of improving on existing designs, Cerebras built something entirely different from the ground up: the Wafer Scale Engine (WSE).

The result is a system that eliminates many of the bottlenecks caused by connecting multiple chips together while delivering memory bandwidth reportedly 7,000 times greater than traditional GPU setups.

But for all the excitement, there are real concerns too.

The company initially filed for an IPO in 2024, but the process was delayed after a national security review. It also came under heavy scrutiny after investors discovered it relied heavily on a single UAE-linked customer, G42. Even today, two UAE organizations account for roughly 86% of Cerebras’ revenue—an enormous concentration risk for any business.

Still, the growth has been hard to ignore.

Cerebras generated roughly $510 million in revenue in 2025, up 76% year-over-year, while swinging from a massive net loss to profitability. The business has also aggressively expanded into cloud AI infrastructure, signing major deals with OpenAI, Amazon Web Services, and customers including Meta (META), Mistral AI, Perplexity AI, and Mayo Clinic. Its OpenAI compute agreement alone is reportedly worth more than $20 billion through 2028.

So the big question is simple: is Cerebras worth $100 billion?

We then cover Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI, Sam Altman’s declining reputation, Anthropic’s revenue acceleration, and what it all means for the stock market, with many AI companies eyeing IPOs. 2026 could end up being the biggest year on record for public markets.

The market is on an absolute tear right now, and it’s raising some serious questions. Lucky for you, Mike and Emmet want to upack them all.

Despite the crazy macroeconomic conditions, the market keeps performing. The Nasdaq Composite is up roughly 38% in the last year. And when you zoom in on individual stocks, things get even crazier.

SanDisk (SNDK) is up 63% in a month, 450% in six months, and an eye-watering 3,800% over the last 12 months. Micron (MU) has jumped 86% in a month and nearly 8x in a year, while Western Digital (WDC) is up around 1,000% over the same period. Even lesser-known names like AXT (AXTI) are suddenly flying, up roughly 700% year-to-date.

In fact, the top 10 stocks over the past 12 months have outperformed the top performers in the 12 month run-up to the dot-com bubble – a stat that’s hard to ignore.

So… are we in an AI bubble?

Skeptics like Michael Burry argue this rally looks even more extreme than 1999. And to be fair, many of the classic bubble ingredients are there: stretched valuations, momentum chasing, and heavy concentration in a single theme.

But there’s a strong counterargument too.

We’ve just come through a blockbuster earnings season, with the median earnings surprise hitting 6% – the best since 2022. AI demand isn’t just hype; companies are struggling to keep up. Hyperscalers like Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Alphabet (GOOGL) are pouring hundreds of billions into infrastructure, signaling that this could be a real productivity revolution.Still, that level of spending raises some eyebrows.

And while AI stocks dominate headlines, there’s another side to this market.

Plenty of high-quality businesses are being left behind, with money rotating aggressively into AI. Stocks like McDonald's (MCD), Home Depot (HD), Mercado Libre (MELI), Lululemon (LULU), and Accenture (ACN) are sitting near 52-week lows – along with a host of medical leaders like Abbott Laboratories (ABT), Medtronic (MDT), and Intuitive Surgical (ISRG). These are durable, proven businesses – but right now, if you’re not AI, you’re being ignored. So five years from now, would you rather own today’s high-flying AI names or these overlooked compounders trading at a discount?

And finally, we dive into one of the wildest stories in the market right now: GameStop (GME) reportedly exploring a deal to acquire eBay (EBAY). GameStop is worth about $12 billion and to pull off the deal it could end up needing as much as $65 billion. Meaning, it would likely need to issue a massive amount of new shares and take on tens of billions in debt, raising serious questions about dilution and feasibility.

The typical definition of Value Investing: Buying an asset for less than it’s truly worth. But according to this week’s guest Jose Najarro, the concept is widely misunderstood.

Too often, value investing is associated with older, slower companies, think utilities, and traditional metrics like low price-to-earnings or price-to-book ratios. But those alone don’t define value. Every valuation comes with a set of implicit assumptions, and the real skill lies in unpacking them and deciding whether they’re realistic.

In fact, some of Jose’s best-performing investments would never have been labeled “value plays” by conventional standards. Instead, he describes his philosophy as a modern take on value investing. His book, Wall Street’s Blind Spots, explores this idea in depth.

Most importantly: you can’t judge a business purely by its cash flows – you have to look at what it does with them. Companies that reinvest cash poorly, such as buying back stock at inflated prices, can destroy value. On the other hand, businesses that consistently generate high returns on invested capital deserve a premium.

Jose points to companies that can achieve around 20% returns on invested capital (ROIC) as the gold standard. Apple is a classic example: the success of the iPod funded the development of the iPhone, the iPhone funded the launch of wearables, and enormous long-term returns were achieved. Amazon is another, continually reinvesting into new ventures and compounding value over time.

This framework raises important questions in today’s AI race. For instance, Google is expected to spend around $200 billion in capital expenditures this year. To justify that, it would need to generate roughly $220 billion in profit to achieve a 20% return – an outcome Jose views as far from certain. He draws parallels between today’s AI infrastructure buildout and telecom investments during the dot-com bubble: companies like AT&T and Verizon survived, but their stocks stagnated as they were trapped in endless cycles of reinvestment to maintain customers. The big payoff never came while companies that used that infrastructure flourished.

His final takeway: investing, especially value investing, is a game of patience. Avoid the temptation of FOMO and focus on long-term fundamentals.

With all the talk of IPOs and upstarts, it’s a great time to remember that legacy players can still pack a punch. This week, we look at two companies that have been on public markets for decades and have been all over the headlines lately: Intel(NASDAQ: INTC) and Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.B).

Intel has been on the Stock Club radar for about nine months, when it was first pitched by Clem Chambers. Since then, it’s up more than 270%, driven by many of the factors he predicted like outsized chip demand, a push to deconsolidate manufacturing capacity, and increased government investment. It’s a pretty monumental occasion, considering this is the first time Intel has reached an all-time high since the dot-com bubble.

In its most recent quarter, Intel reported revenue of $13.6 billion, well above estimates of $12.4 billion, while also delivering a significant expansion in gross margins and raising its revenue forecast. Definitely a stock worth a look if you can get past the valuation.

Berkshire is in the news for a completely different reason: its new CEO, Greg Abel. While Abel assumed the role in January, this will be his first annual meeting – arguably Berkshire’s most beloved tradition.

Compared to Warren Buffett, Abel is expected to take a more hands-on approach, often touring facilities across the company’s many subsidiaries and favoring direct involvement in operations.

So far in his tenure, he’s accomplished four notable things:

• First, on his first day as CEO, he closed Berkshire’s $9.7 billion acquisition of OxyChem, Occidental’s chemical subsidiary.
• Second, on March 4th, Berkshire resumed share buybacks for the first time since May 2024, repurchasing about $226 million of stock. Clearly, Abel sees Berkshire itself as a buy and wouldn’t deploy that kind of capital otherwise.
• Third, he personally invested his entire $15.3 million after-tax salary into Berkshire Class B shares.
• Finally, he invested $1.8 billion into Tokio Marine, taking Berkshire’s total Japanese equity exposure above $46 billion.

We’ll certainly be tuning in to the annual meeting on May 2nd.

We wrap by telling you which one we’d invest $10K in.

In light of Allbirds’ (NASDAQ: BIRD) head-scratching transition to an AI compute infrastructure company, Mike and Emmet break down some of the market’s best and worst business pivots.

In simple terms, a pivot is when a business decides to stop doing what it’s known for and pursue something else. This can be proactive, like Slack giving up its gaming business to develop its internal communication tool, or reactive, like Netflix opting to move into streaming in response to digital competition.

Emmet kicks things off with Nokia (NYSE: NOK). It started as a paper mill in Finland back in 1865. In the early ’90s, it exited its legacy businesses to focus entirely on mobile phones and network equipment, eventually ending up in a cell phone duopoly with Ericsson. However, Nokia is also a key example of how quickly market leadership can be lost when a company fails to anticipate major shifts – in this case, the move to smartphones. Luckily, it pivoted again, going all in on infrastructure and investing heavily in 5G, and it currently has a market cap of more than $50 billion.

Saab started out building fighter jets for the Swedish military in the 1930s before expanding into cars after the war. In 1989, GM came in, bought half of the car company, and split it away from the aerospace division. By 2008, it was struggling and eventually went under. However, Saab AB (SAAB-B.ST) is thriving, with record backlog and profitability.

Another post-war success story, Hyundai started as a civil engineering company helping Korea rebuild, eventually pivoting to car manufacturing in the 1960s. During the Asian financial crisis, Hyundai made a deliberate decision to move upmarket, investing heavily in design, engineering, and quality. Over time, it transformed from producing low-quality vehicles into a reliable, stylish, and increasingly desirable automaker.

Finally, one of the market’s most infamous pivot stories: MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR). It was initially focused on information systems in the ’90s, rising and collapsing during the dot-com bubble. While its stock never fully recovered, its core business continued generating cash over the next 20 years. In 2020, CEO Michael Saylor decided to go all in on Bitcoin, and the stock is up 15x since. Today, the company holds $61.5 billion in Bitcoin on its balance sheet – about 4% of the current supply – at an average price of $75,527. Unfortunately, if Bitcoin falls below this price, it could trigger a massive sell-off of both MSTR and Bitcoin – not ideal.

This week, we’re discussing one of the most significant IPOs of all time: SpaceX.

While space travel began as a government-led effort, over the past few decades it has increasingly become the domain of the private sector. For those who need a refresher on the business of space—and SpaceX specifically—Emmet has you covered with a detailed preamble.

SpaceX consists of three core businesses: rocket launches and space haulage, Starlink internet, and government and defense communications infrastructure known as Starshield. The long-term goal across all three is to drive down the cost of space launches and become the go-to provider for space infrastructure companies. However, SpaceX has also recently acquired xAI, bringing Twitter, Grok, and their associated costs into the picture.

For Mike, this is key to understanding why the company may pursue an IPO.

You might think that after years of sparring with investors, Musk would want to avoid public markets—especially given how well the business is performing privately. But with xAI now in the mix, SpaceX needs significant capital to build out data centers and attract top engineering talent. This creates tension for investors who are primarily interested in the company’s core space business.

As of this recording, SpaceX is targeting a $1.75 trillion valuation, implying it would go public at 56x revenue and 109x EBITDA. That’s extremely lofty—even with the Musk premium. Interestingly, the NASDAQ has also made aggressive rule changes to fast-track SpaceX’s inclusion in the NASDAQ-100, which would prompt a number of passive funds (such as QQQ) to purchase shares upon debut. This could further inflate the stock’s valuation, and Mike worries it may leave retail investors holding the bag while providing a liquidity event for private investors. Emmet agrees, comparing SpaceX’s unconventional path to market to the SPAC boom of 2020.
