In this episode, we dive into the 2022 “COVID hangover" that continues to haunt high-growth software companies. Simon and I discuss why these stocks, despite massive revenue growth, have struggled since 2022. I discuss how some of these companies that are still hitting the rule of 40 might offer intriguing opportunities for investors today.

With global liquidity on the rise and central banks grappling with ballooning deficits, he questions whether these liquidity dynamics could provide a strong tailwind for asset prices moving forward. Could this set the stage for stocks, real estate, and alternative assets like Bitcoin and gold to perform well, even in a challenging macro environment?
