  Earnings season hits Wall Street Wildlife this week — Rocket Lab reports, a tiny Long Island radio company is swinging triple digits, and Krzysztof is literally fighting for his life against Polish mosquitoes the size of scorpions. Two stocks, two very different risk profiles, one question: are these stories real — or just great narratives with no orders behind them?🚀 $RKLB earnings preview: the ONE number Luke is watching that will make or break the bull case — and it's not revenue📊 Rocket Lab's backlog hit $2.2B — but operating margins are getting *worse*.

  The $45B Near-Miss - How Leverage Almost Ate a Genius Call (E144) 09.08.2026 56m

  A 24-year-old prodigy builds a $45 billion fund on a single correct idea about AI, then watches 67% of it evaporate in a month. This week, Badger and Monkey dissect the brutal drawdown at Situational Awareness, the hedge fund that was right about everything except how to survive being right. It's not dead, but it's a gut-check case study in what leverage does even when your thesis holds. What went wrong, what it reveals about greed, ego, and leverage, and what every retail investor can learn before the next correction hits them.⚠️ A $45B fund lost 67% in 30 days while holding positions that were fundamentally CORRECT — here's the brutal lesson on why being right isn't enough🧠 Krzysztof names his greatest investing mistake over decades — and it's not what most people expect🎯 Luke's mechanical 15% rule saved him from the $RKLB round-trip — and it has nothing to do with predicting the market📊 $RKLB did a 58% round trip in 10 weeks — Badger walks through exactly how he managed it in real time🤖 Was Leopold Aschenbrenner actually wrong about AI infrastructure?

  Two very different investors. One philosophy episode that might change how you think about your entire approach to the market. This week, Luke lays out his complete investing framework — 23 years, 23% CAGR, distilled into rules you can actually use — while Krzysztof makes the case for a $161M micro-cap that could be the infrastructure backbone of the AI + satellite era. Plus: is Palantir a world-changing tool or a surveillance weapon you shouldn't own?🧠 Luke's single most powerful investing rule — and why 'press no buttons' is actually a superpower most investors will never master🎯 The 3-skill hierarchy that explains why most stock pickers are working on the least important skill (and what to focus on instead)💀 Krzysztof admits he's 'a disaster right now' — but the King of the Jungle track record tells a more complicated story🤖 $AMPG: a 46-person Long Island company that might be the only American-made radio supplier for the AI + satellite revolution🚀 Why $ASTS led Krzysztof down a rabbit hole to amplifiers, NVIDIA partnerships, and a micro-cap with a massive upcoming earnings catalyst📊 $PLTR is trading at 113x free cash flow — and Luke owns it anyway.

  Does Uber Survive If Waymo Goes Solo? $TSLA vs $UBER + Procept BioRobotics $PRCT (E141) 19.07.2026 1h 25m

  Two gorillas, one marketplace — and Waymo just walked out the door. This week Luke and Krzysztof tear apart three King of the Jungle stocks with real money on the line, debate whether active fund management is structurally broken, and wade into the most confusing rights offering either of them has ever seen. Buckle up.💀 Fundsmith, the legendary UK fund manager just abandoned his own principles — and Luke says it proves you should NEVER give your money to an active manager, no matter how good their track record🤖 Waymo ditched Uber's platform to go solo. Luke owns $UBER. Is his entire thesis now in jeopardy — or is this actually fine?🚗 $TSLA at 180x earnings: is it a car company, an AI company, or just a Musk narrative trade? The hosts disagree on when, or whether, to buy💊 Krzysztof makes the case for $PRCT (Procept BioRobotics) at near all-time lows and explains exactly what he's watching in the August 5th earnings call before he adds a single share🎯 Down 40% on a position and refusing to add, Krzysztof walks through the discipline behind sitting on your hands when every instinct says buy🎓 The Fundsmith collapse explained: why "do nothing" is the right strategy for YOU but a career-ending strategy for a fund manager — and why that misalignment matters⚡ EOS Energy's rights offering has become a genuine disaster — death spiral mechanics, four-cent warrants, and brokers who have no idea what's happening.

  Is AI Making Cybersecurity Stocks Unmissable? $CRWD vs $PANW + $ODD (E140) 12.07.2026 1h 9m

  The AI hacking apocalypse is closer than you think — and two companies are quietly positioning themselves as the last line of defense for every business on earth. This week, Badger makes the bull case for the two cybersecurity gorillas dominating the sector, Monkey digs into a beaten-down beauty-tech turnaround with a suspiciously fixable problem, and together they rain cold water on one of the hottest narratives in investing right now.🛡️ $CRWD vs $PANW — Badger owns both and is adding more. But are these priced-for-perfection giants still a buy at nosebleed valuations, or is the AI tailwind big enough to justify the premium?🤖 Project Glasswing: Why Anthropic quietly handed $CRWD and $PANW a massive moat over every other cybersecurity vendor — and what it means for the companies left out in the cold.🧠 Quantum computing: hype, hope, or the most uninvestable sector on the planet? Badger and Monkey deliver a blunt verdict that Andreas from Patreon definitely didn't want to hear.🎯 Monkey's contrarian bet on Oddity $ODD — a 49% single-day collapse, a Meta algorithm crisis, and a balance sheet that's almost as big as the market cap. Is this the setup he's been waiting for?📊 The real numbers behind Palo Alto's "31% revenue growth" — and why that headline figure is smoke and mirrors hiding a very different story.🎓 Why waiting for quantum computing to prove itself isn't cowardice — it's strategy.

  Is Narrative Investing Genius or Just Survivorship Bias? (E139) 05.07.2026 1h 26m

  What if the secret edge in investing isn't a spreadsheet — it's a story? This week Luke and Krzysztof sit down with Daniel Joshua Rubin, screenwriter, author of *27 Essential Principles of Story*, and a self-described "narrative investor" who's been quietly compounding by asking one question: is this a hero worth backing? The conversation gets spicy fast, with all three disagreeing on where narrative ends and delusion begins.🎓 Daniel breaks down why ALL investing is storytelling🧠 The Reese's Peanut Butter Cup theory of investing: why numbers alone and narrative alone both fail, and what happens when you combine them💀 Survivorship bias hits hard — for every Netflix, there are 99 narratives that died quietly on the side of the road. How do you tell the difference *before* the crash?📊 Luke pulls up the $ZM chart live and shows exactly when the narrative AND the numbers broke down simultaneously — and why one without the other got investors wrecked🎯 The "drunken pilot" test: Daniel's framework for spotting a bad CEO before the numbers catch up — and why the math guys always miss it🌐 From Blockbuster's villain arc to CrowdStrike's redemption story to Trade Desk's gathering storm — real companies dissected as hero's journeys🤖 Nebius vs. the field, Reddit's narrative moat, and why Daniel thinks consumer-facing brands are where narrative investing has the sharpest edge🎴 The pop quiz that stumped everyone: what do you do when a terrible narrative produces a 12X return?

  The Glowing Eyeball vs the Obesity Drug: $SPHR and $NVO Debated (E138) 28.06.2026 50m

  Two companies making the world genuinely better — one a glowing eyeball printing money in the desert, the other a century-old drug giant that invented the obesity revolution. So why are both kind of terrible investments right now? Luke and Krzysztof go head-to-head on $SPHR (Sphere Entertainment) and $NVO (Novo Nordisk) in this week's King of the Jungle bull-bear debate — and the tension is real.🎯 Krzysztof bought $SPHR at ~$50. It's now $150. Is it a 3-bagger worth holding — or time to squeeze the last drop from the lemon?📊 $NVO is trading at 10x earnings while $LLY trades at 40x. Screaming value trap or generational discount? Luke makes the case — then almost talks himself out of it live on air.🌐 SpaceX IPO day sparks a bigger debate: why a company losing $10B still justifies a $2.2T valuation — and what most investors get wrong about forward-looking markets.🧠 "You can love a company and hate the stock." The uncomfortable investing truth both hosts keep circling back to — and what it means for YOUR portfolio.🚀 SpaceX vs Meta: Krzysztof breaks down why comparing current financials is almost meaningless — and the one bias both hosts admit they share about Zuckerberg's empire.💊 Novo Nordisk's Cagrisema failed its head-to-head vs Lilly. The stock dropped 45% in a year. Luke owns it anyway. Krzysztof has zero desire to touch it. Who's right?🎯 The Sphere's real constraint isn't content — it's geography. Luke makes the bear case: how many cities on Earth can actually host one of these things profitably?🤖 When good stories get too well-known, the edge disappears. Krzysztof shares why he's increasingly hunting investments he doesn't even *like* — purely on the investment case.Segments:00:00:00 Cold Open: Loving a Company vs Loving the Stock00:00:49 Intro + SpaceX IPO Day — Options Strategy & What Comes Next00:04:31 SpaceX vs Meta: Why Comparing Current Financials Misses the Point00:11:17 $SPHR Bull Case: How the Giant Glowing Eyeball Learned to Print Money00:15:33 $SPHR Bear Case: How Many Cities Can Actually Host a Sphere?00:22:39 $SPHR Verdict: Would You Buy at $150?

  Is $EOSE an 11-Bagger That's Just Getting Started? (E137) 21.06.2026 1h 11m

  Two years ago, Badger called EOS Energy garbage. Monkey wouldn't shut up about it. Today, the stock is up 1,000% and the story is just getting stronger. This week on Wall Street Wildlife, we settle the $EOSE vs $AXON bet, dissect a rights offering that could make or break $EOSE shareholders, and go live on SpaceX IPO day to watch history happen in real time.🚀 SpaceX opens at $160+ on IPO day — Badger and Monkey called it live, almost to the dollar, and neither can quite believe it📊 $EOSE is up 1,000% since the bet was made — but was it 3,000% at the peak, did Monkey leave serious money on the table?💀 The rights offering explained: dilution is coming for $EOSE shareholders — but is it actually a gift in disguise, or a warning sign?🎯 Badger bought back into $AXON after cutting it — what changed, what still bothers him, and why Motorola just became a threat worth watching🧠 Why can't two investors who trust each other actually pull the trigger on each other's best ideas?

  Is the SpaceX IPO a Trap for Retail Investors? + $NU + $MRLN (E136) 14.06.2026 1h 4m

  SpaceX is finally going public and it might be the most hyped IPO in a generation. But does that make it a buy, a trade, or a trap? Luke and Krzysztof have completely different plans, and neither one is obvious. This week also covers a tiny autonomous aviation startup that jumped 30% on a massive red day, why Luke dumped $WISE and owns $NU instead, and why the easy money on big IPOs is almost never made by the people watching from home.🚀 Luke owns SpaceX *already* — but he's locked out, taxed, and has zero control over what happens next. His plan is more complicated than you'd think. $SPCX🎴 Krzysztof refuses to be a long-term SpaceX holder — and instead wants to swing trade the IPO hype with options. Is he right to ignore the Rocket Lab lesson?🎯 The musical chairs problem: why retail investors almost always arrive after the easy money is gone — and what to do about it.🤖 A tiny pre-revenue company called $MRLN (Merlin) jumped 30% on one of the worst market days in months after a US Special Operations milestone. Krzysztof bought it impulsively. Was it genius or madness?🎓 Is autonomous flying actually *easier* to solve than self-driving cars? Krzysztof makes the contrarian case and braces for pushback from a pilot in the Patreon community.💰 Luke sold every share of $WISE after the AML scandal deepened and explains exactly why a 2-3 year regulatory headache makes it uninvestable right now, even if the business model is sound.📊 $NU (Nubank) serves over 135 million customers, more than half of all adults in Brazil. Luke breaks down why it's trading at just 13x forward earnings despite 40% loan book growth, and what the real bear case actually is.🌴 Krzysztof offers to document his live SpaceX options trades in real time for Patreon Dolphins.

  Is IREN Becoming a Serious AI Cloud Contender? + Buying SpaceX Pre-IPO + $WISE (E135) 07.06.2026 1h 17m

  The AI infrastructure land grab is accelerating — and this week, Krzysztof drops a deep dive into his #1 portfolio holding that rewrites the bull case entirely. Meanwhile, Luke's longtime fintech darling just got hit with a half-billion-euro money laundering investigation on the same week it relisted on NASDAQ. Timing couldn't be worse. Here's what's really at stake:🤖 $IREN just went from Bitcoin miner to potential hyperscaler — and NVIDIA's $3.4B bet on their Sweetwater site might be the most important data center deal you haven't heard about🎯 Krzysztof holds $IREN at 21% of his King of the Jungle portfolio — and after this earnings call, he's not trimming. Here's why that conviction is earned, not reckless📊 The revenue miss that spooked the algos vs. the thesis that actually matters — why Krzysztof calls it a "nothing burger" and what would change his mind🌐 $IREN vs. CoreWeave vs. Nebius: the neo-cloud battle nobody's framing correctly — and the one financial metric that makes CoreWeave a no-touch for Monkey💰 $WISE drops 18% on AML bombshell — Luke worked in global anti-money laundering for a major bank, and his read is genuinely alarming.

  What Four Expert Investors Own Right Now $NVDA $AXON $CRWD $ASTS $RKLB $VOO (E134) 30.05.2026 1h 29m

  Four investors. Four wildly different portfolios. One crossover episode that gets uncomfortably honest about conviction, concentration, and whether the rules of investing have actually changed. Wall Street Wildlife's Luke and Krzysztof team up with Bear and Drowsy from Shooting the Bull Pod — and the result is one of the most candid portfolio conversations we've ever recorded.🤖 One investor is sitting on a 43% Nvidia position — and his defense of it might actually change your mind about concentration risk🎯 Bear vs. Drowsy vs. Badger vs. Monkey: four real portfolios laid side-by-side, and the differences are stark — who's right?🌐 Has the Law of Large Numbers been repealed? $NVDA at $5T, Micron hitting $1T, Anthropic at $1T private — is gravity still a thing?🧠 The trimming problem: why Bear sells too early, why Drowsy almost never sells, and the psychological trick that separates long-term winners from hyperactive traders🚀 $RKLB and $ASTS under the microscope — are space stocks the real opportunity hiding in plain sight, or another 3D printing moment?💀 A mea culpa on NeoClouds: Drowsy admits they "got it completely wrong" on Nebius — and what that confession reveals about investing humility $NBIS🎓 Krzysztof's evolution from quality-compounder to rock-flipper: the philosophical pivot that explains everything about his portfolio today🌴 Dark horse stocks nobody's talking about: Hinge Health, Oddity, MercadoLibre, Sterling Infrastructure, Palo Alto Networks — the roundtable gets spicy at the end $HNGE $ODD $MELI $STRL $PANWSources:Shooting the Bull podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/5qH1zzezA4EnHHGibgzJlbGrowth Stock Investing subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/GrowthStockInvesting/Segments:00:00:00 Four Investors, One Portfolio Showdown — The Crossover Begins00:05:14 Golden Age of Individual Investing?

  Is This $2.4B Biotech About to Explode? + $MELI & $ISRG (E133) 24.05.2026 1h 18m

  Three stocks, three debates, one ticking clock. This week on Wall Street Wildlife, Krzysztof drops a live biotech catalyst with a 24-hour window, Luke defends his 20-year 'sugar daddy' holding, and a Latin American e-commerce giant is quietly being stress-tested. Plus: Krzysztof reveals a wild AI experiment he's launching in public — and betting real money against it.💊 Luke's been holding $ISRG since 2006 without selling a single share — but is robotic surgery's best growth already behind it, or is this still the future of medicine?📊 Medtronic just got FDA clearance. Competition is finally arriving at Intuitive Surgical's door — and margins are showing it. How worried should long-term holders be?🧬 Krzysztof makes a live, time-sensitive case for a $2.4B biotech with a catalyst dropping the very next day — and explains why the market may be badly mispricing it. $RLAY🌐 $MELI is growing revenue at 49% year-over-year — so why has the stock been going south? Luke explains the deliberate margin sacrifice and why he's still buying anyway.🧠 Luke admits he expects $MELI to keep falling for six months... and bought more anyway. Krzysztof calls this a contradiction. Luke disagrees. Who's right?🤖 Krzysztof built an AI he named Samantha Rabbit, designed specifically not to lie to him — and he's putting $5/day on himself vs. the machine in a 6-month public stock-picking contest!Segments:00:00:00 Cold Open: The Future of Surgery & Live Biotech Catalyst00:01:13 Intro + King of the Jungle Portfolio Review00:05:52 Community Portfolio Update: 11 Nominations & Why Pitching Changes Everything00:11:28 $ISRG Deep Dive: Is Intuitive Surgical Still Worth Owning After 20 Years?00:20:28 $ISRG Bear Case: Competition, GLP-1s, and Flat Margins00:30:46 Relay Therapeutics: The Biotech With a 24-Hour Catalyst00:44:42 Relay Bear Case: One-Trick Pony or Magical Molecule?00:54:48 $MELI Deep Dive: Is Mercado Libre's Investment Phase a Buying Opportunity?01:05:37 $MELI Bear Case: Emerging Market Risk & Shrinking Margins01:12:09 Big Reveal: Krzysztof Builds an AI Stock Picker & Bets Against It**********If you want to see our furry faces, this podcast is also available on YouTube at ⁠youtube.com/@WallStreetWildlife?sub_confirmation=1⁠**********SUPPORT THE SHOW AND BECOME A PATREON:wallstreetwildlife.com**********Follow us at:⁠⁠x.com/7LukeHallard⁠x.com/7FlyingPlatypus**********Fiscal.AI is the Complete Stock Research Platform for fundamental investors.

  Four Stocks, Two Hosts, Zero Sugarcoating — Bull vs. Bear (E132) 17.05.2026 1h 2m

  Four companies. Two hosts. One brutal question: which stocks deserve your conviction right now, and which ones are just good stories hiding ugly fundamentals? This week, Luke and Krzysztof go bull-vs-bear on four names — and the conclusions might surprise you. The "too hard pile" is getting bigger, and maybe that's the smartest move in this market.🎴 Luke's brutal poker night becomes the perfect metaphor for today's market — when momentum matters more than fundamentals, what does that mean for your portfolio?🤖 $IREN just landed a $3.4B contract with NVIDIA itself. Is this the ultimate validation of the AI infrastructure thesis — or is the dilution quietly eating your returns?💊 $TMDX is down 40% in months, but the business is saving lives and expanding into Europe. Is the market throwing away a generational compounder?📊 $TTD looked like an untouchable compounder — until Amazon showed up charging 1% vs. 20%. Is The Trade Desk a falling knife or a forever-broken business model?🧠 Why do smart investors refuse to say "I don't know"? Krzysztof makes the case that the "too hard pile" isn't weakness — it's your edge.🌐 $LMND reports 71% revenue growth and the stock drops 20% from after-hours highs.

Here's what every investor needs to know before May 11th.💰 Why $WISE is ditching London for the NASDAQ — and what it means for shareholders who already own the UK listing📊 The numbers behind the conviction: 27% volume growth, 22% more active customers, and a take rate that keeps falling on purpose🎓 How Wise actually moves money across borders — the elegant infrastructure trick that lets them undercut every bank on the planet🎯 Luke's reverse DCF breakdown: what growth rate the market is currently pricing in, and whether that's a gift or a trap💀 The bear case we can't hide from: falling take rates + rising costs = a business model that only works if volume growth never stops🤖 Stablecoins and the Genius Act — is crypto a real existential threat to $WISE, or just a question every investor asks and never acts on?🌐 The index inclusion catalyst: why Russell 1000 membership in 2027 could trigger a wave of institutional buying nobody's talking about yetSources:Shooting the Bull with Drowsy and Bear: https://open.spotify.com/show/5qH1zzezA4EnHHGibgzJlb?si=XkN43t9ZRUuAD8Mh2RMvzg&nd=1&dlsi=a7c955266e91477fSegments:00:00:00 Welcome — Solo Episode & What's Coming to WSW00:01:21 What Is Wise and How Does It Actually Work?00:04:08 The NASDAQ Dual Listing: Dates, Mechanics & What Shareholders Need to Do00:09:05 $WISE Key Numbers: Volume Growth, Customers & Take Rate00:11:08 Rising Costs: Investment in Growth or a Warning Sign?00:12:44 $WISE Valuation: Reverse DCF & The Inflection Point Thesis00:14:54 Bear Case #1: The Take Rate Trap00:15:48 Bear Case #2: Stablecoins & Crypto — Real Threat or Overhyped?00:18:11 Luke's Conviction: 4 Years as Customer & Shareholder**********If you want to see our furry faces, this podcast is also available on YouTube at ⁠youtube.com/@WallStreetWildlife?sub_confirmation=1⁠**********SUPPORT THE SHOW AND BECOME A PATREON:wallstreetwildlife.com**********Follow us at:⁠⁠x.com/7LukeHallard⁠x.com/7FlyingPlatypus**********Fiscal.AI is the Complete Stock Research Platform for fundamental investors.

  Luke sold two stocks this week. Not because earnings disappointed or guidance missed — but because he ran the numbers on what AI actually does to software valuations, and the math got uncomfortable fast.

  Is $NKTR the Most Undervalued Biotech Nobody's Talking About? (E129) 26.04.2026 1h 8m
