The other side to AI boom, dead stocks
Woke up to a nice 30% gain on my short position on Wix this morning…there is no way they compete with AI….$200/year for website hosting and development using crappy templates feels like 90s tech at this point. They had a nice price point until they didnt.
Other things to short? All of these are like 50% down in the past year, but i think there is downside risk
* All the consulting companies that are not all govt contracts
* All the Indian consulting companies…the rupee is collapsing as i type this
* SaaS companies
What else? Basically i am not saying these companies are going out of business, but i am saying they will be challenged to have any rev growth, which means they trade then at book value(equity on the balance sheet) which is normally peanuts

I'm glad to be a mere construction professional.

I think SaaS is going to have a shake out
