| 2025 Q4 | Jan 29, 2026 | 8th Wonder Investments | 0.0% | 0.0% | AAPL, AMZN, CMCSA, CRM, CSU.TO, DECK, DIS, GOOGL, HEI, LYV, META, MSFT, NFLX, NVDA, PARA, RH, SKX, TOI.TO, TSLA, WBD | aerospace, AI, Leadership, Luxury, M&A, Media, software, value | Warner Bros. Discovery represents a special situation investment driven by CEO David Zaslav's shift toward shareholder value creation and aggressive debt paydown. The company announced plans to split into two entities and received multiple takeover bids, with Netflix ultimately winning the bidding war. The market fears AI will disrupt vertical market software by eliminating switching costs and seat-based pricing. However, AI agents will likely increase demand for systems of record and control point software rather than replace them, as enterprises need guardrails for non-deterministic AI outputs. Constellation Software and Topicus represent the core thesis of acquiring mission-critical vertical market software businesses with high switching costs, recurring revenue, and defensive moats. These businesses serve niche markets where switching is painful and alternatives offer minimal benefits. The fund employs covered call strategies to generate income and reduce cost basis while building positions. This options-based approach allows for larger position sizing in balance sheet challenged businesses while providing downside protection. HEICO represents an antifragile business model in aftermarket aerospace components that gains market share during economic stress as airlines extend fleet life. The company demonstrates seamless leadership transition and decentralized operations that thrive on adversity. RH under Gary Friedman exemplifies exceptional leadership combining capital allocation with creative genius, transforming the company from near-bankruptcy into a luxury lifestyle brand with galleries that redefine retail and 30% EBITDA margins. | TOI CN CSU CN RH HEI WBD |
