    @cremieuxrecueil This is a real problem and peptides are a decent test case, because there's ground truth to check the consensus against Ask a model which vendors are reliable and you get Reddit's consensus, which in that niche is shaped heavily by undisclosed affiliates and vendor accounts. Look at the actual lab data on those vendors and the ranking doesn't match The failure mode isn't that Reddit is wrong exactly. It's that consensus is downstream of whoever put the most effort into shaping it, and the model can't tell that apart from knowledge. (disclosure, I run a site that aggregates the lab data, so not neutral here)

    July 2026 Portfolio Review First negative month since February 2026 and the worst since March 2025 (down 19.5%) after four straight up months. This was the first full month with a reconstructed portfolio centered around the ongoing AI buildout with companies like $MU, $NVDA, $NBIS. I bought more $NBIS on dips, a little more $MU, while trimming the rest of my positions a tiny bit. There were multiple sharp legs down throughout the month; at least once per week where my portfolio fell by 5% or more. One big 19% up day at the end of the month saved me from an even worse looking loss. Peak to trough this month I was down 25%. I continued dipping into margin during this sell off, while also making a fairly large contribution due to a cash windfall, so my cost basis increased a decent bit in July. Nominal is pure % change, Real takes into account contributions made. Monthly Gain: Down 15.9% Nominal // Down 20.7% Real Yearly Gain: Up 39.0% Nominal // Up 16.4% Real All Time Gain: Up 44.9% $NBIS // Down 17.4% // 45.3% Allocation Nebius had a very eventful month. Sentiment was very fearful around the company in July. Starting on 7/1 when Meta announced that they plan to launch a cloud compute business to sell excess AI capacity and model access. This move would make them a direct competitor of Nebius, while concurrently being a customer of Nebius. The statement caused a 17% single-day drop in stock price. Many interpret this as a sign that supply will overtake demand faster than the current timeline suggests, leading to the commodification and subsequent drop in margin and pricing leverage for these companies who provide this service. There are two main reasons, why I am not concerned right now. 1) It will take time for Meta to join the buildout race. Right now this business line is not set up, they do not have customers, and they have some catching up to do. 2) I am interpreting this business move by Meta as a sign that compute is a lucrative business and that they want a piece of it. They see the potential and are trying to get a slice. It is confirmation that this sector is the future. Maybe I'm seeing it with rose-colored glasses, maybe not. Then on 7/14, after two weeks of ruminating with the Meta fears, Nebius announced a $1B deal with Reflection AI for computing power. The next day, 7/15 they alleviated some funding concerns by going into detail about their "asset-light" infrastructure partner model. Partners put up the capital and run the data centers while Nebius supplies the design, software stack, and sales channel in exchange for revenue, licensing fees and commissions. On 7/17, they also announced a $775M senior secured debt facility, a loan backed by the GPUs themselves and the guaranteed payments from one investment-grade customer, priced cheaply at SOFR+250, with more lenders wanting in than there was room for, and covering the full cost of the equipment it paid for, which is a small piece of evidence that can be used as a blueprint to close the funding gap on the remaining $40B+ of contracted revenue without dilution through the issuing of more equity. In this same release, there were confirmations that the Microsoft contract delivery is on track. On 7/20, Nvidia's investment percentage in Nebius was updated and resurfaced. We knew they held 8.3% of shares back in March. As of July, that number is now 9.3%. On 7/30, Nebius published it's 2025 Sustainability Report, which had some very interesting nuggets about their higher than average power efficiency (1.25 vs 154 PUE), better water efficiency (0.018 vs 0.47 L/kWh), the fact that they have seven active sites (for future YoY comparison), and overall emissions increases from the data centers themselves (up 32x (!) from 2,036 --> 65,001 tCO2e YoY). Overall great with the efficiency benchmarks, but the emissions is a concern and they will likely have to address that as some US states, like NY, are passing data center moratoriums. Nebius makes up almost half my portfolio now. The future projected earnings combined with this leadership team and potential for AI as a whole are very exciting and the reasons why it is my largest position by such a magnitude. Earnings is on 8/12 and will be the biggest driver in how my August ends up. $MU // Down 19.2% // 18.1% Allocation Micron had a quiet month as the dust settled after earnings in June. No corporate announcements. They got caught up in the Meta story and fell in tandem with other AI stocks. I am still of the opinion that memory is no longer cyclical. Or at least that the cycle has elevated in scale and need to the point that it will not matter for the foreseeable future. On 7/7, Samsung and SK Hynix announced $2T in new capacity to address the scarcity. This would usually be the next leg in the cycle where supply arrives and prices collapse. The key caveat to note though appeared in SK Hynix's and Samsung's earnings calls on 7/29 and 7/30 respectively, when they dismissed oversupply concerns and explained their capacity expansion is "based on demand visibility" and warned that shortages may persist through 2028. Samsung noted, "almost all customers are requesting multi-year supply contracts." All put together, this indicates they are only expanding as customers commit and that they want most of their output locked into multi-year contracts with price floors before capacity exists. Micron was the first company to structure their deals this way and now the rest of the industry is following the same roadmap. On 7/30, Apple had their earnings call and compared memory pricing to a "hundred-year flood," saying they would pay significantly more on memory in this upcoming quarter than the previous quarter and that prices are expected to keep rising after that. Similar note from Amazon's earnings call where they raised 2026 capex from $200B to $220B and directly attributed that to memory costs. Noted they will not have enough capacity to meet 2026 demand, expects the same for 2027, and called 2028 demand "striking." These are the customers saying this, not the suppliers like SK Hynix and Samsung. Even at the second biggest in my portfolio, I still want to add to my Micron position. Just like Nebius, the AI buildout is here, and I want a large chunk of it. $NVDA // Up 1.9% // 12.4% Allocation Nvidia had a pretty quiet month and the stock price has been quite muted recently as well. On 7/7, they reaffirmed the schedule for their Kyber NVL144 rack-scale system, refuting reports that it would slip to 2028. On 7/15, Jensen Huang spoke about Rubin hardware, saying it was already in production and headed towards "giant" volumes. Rubin is important as it will drive revenue and bridge us into the future of physical AI/robotics. Then the next day, while in Tokyo, Nvidia announced it is working with Noetra Corp., to build a Vera Rubin AI factory in Japan containing 12,750 Vera CPUs, 27,500 Rubin GPUs, and delivering 140 MW of capacity. On 7/27, Nvidia announced a long-term partnership and investment with/in Safe Superintelligence. Nvidia will give them Vera Rubin access and increased compute to advance the research projects SSI is working on. Comfortable with my position size and consider it a steady anchor of the portfolio. Earnings is on 8/26. $RDDT // Down 28.3% // 11.2% Allocation Reddit was the only company of mine that reported earnings in July. That report on 7/30 was the main driver of price action this month. Revenue came in at $802.9M (61% YoY) beating guidance by 11.8%, the eighth (!) consecutive quarter of 60%+ growth. They guided Q3 to $865M (48% YoY) and with a similar percentage beat would be just around 60% growth again next quarter. The main issue people had with earnings and the reason the stock declined after was in their US (Daily Active Users per quarter) DAUq metric. It actually fell from 53.5M to 53.2M (0.6% QoQ). Global DAUq was 130.3M (up 18%) and WAUq was 514.6M (up 24%) so they are still growing globally and some of those daily users who dropped off are still checking weekly. The problem comes from the value derived from users in the US vs abroad. US users are much more valuable (Average Revenue per User [ARPU] at $11.85) and is up 51% due to successful execution of revenue expansion levers with existing customers, but that is the exact cohort decreasing in size. Global ARPU is $6.18. (up 36%) and International ARPU is $2.26 (up 31%) for comparison. So essentially, Reddit is successfully exercising their ability to gain revenue per user, but having more trouble growing that user base. It means revenue monetization can certainly continue, but a stagnant US DAUq figure will lead to the party ending sooner rather than later. Additionally, there was a WSJ report earlier in the month on 7/22 that Reddit had internally discussed ending Google's ability to use its content for AI training as the $60M per year deal nears expiration. The stock dropped on this story, but unlike the DAUq metrics, I view this as a positive. I think it speaks to the strength of Reddit's hand when it comes to their positioning and ownership of the training data. They wouldn't hold out like this unless they think they can negotiate better terms. I believe that they can leverage their data in exchange for much much more money. Whether that is 4x, 10x or even 30x the current rate they're charging, I expect this to be a massive driver of growth at some point. As of now that contract is only worth 1.4% of expected 2026 revenue. Lot's of room to grow despite no new deal announced during earnings. Management also noted that "search referrals were choppy and traffic was volatile." And that visibility into referral traffic remains low. On 7/30, a federal judge denied motions to dismiss for a lawsuit Reddit is claiming against Perplexity AI for bypassing technical safeguards to harvest community content. This enforces the argument that Reddit has a credible legal mechanism to force AI companies into paying licensing fees versus being free. Strengthening their hand against Google. Overall the business quality and metrics that I deem most important continued on their stellar trajectory. The DAUq x ARPU = Revenue relationship is worth watching to see how it develops. I would normally want to hold tight, no buys or sells until there is more clarity in this situation. I might even think about trimming if the position was oversized, but honestly if price action goes south, I would be more inclined to buy because actual business metrics are very healthy compared to the narrative/story about the future. $NET // Up 13.1% // 8.6% Allocation Cloudflare had a few announcements this month. On 7/1 they announced a change in Pay Per Crawl which will now be Pay Per Use. AI crawlers will now be blocked by default on any page carrying ads starting in September. Publishers will now be paid when AI actually uses their content in an answer rather than each time a bot fetches a page. This change was spurred by the fact that bots have now officially surpassed human traffic a year earlier than expected. In June 2026 50.6% of AI bot traffic on Cloudflare's network was training bots, 10.7% were search bots. Cloudflare is seemingly positioning themselves as the "toll booth" between AI companies and the rest of the internet. It's one of numerous examples of Cloudflare innovating their platform rapidly to invent an entirely new line of business based on current trends. We don't know what the business metrics here are, but after the product goes live on 9/15 we will start to see it emerge. On 7/13 Precursor, a continuous behavioral validation checker to manage bots inside browsers, went live. The difference here is that rather than a Captcha, which is checked once at the door then never again, Precursor is continuously evaluating behavior the entire time. Earnings is on 8/6. While I would love to add more, the valuation is relatively stretched compared to NTM growth projections, so I would rather wait for a pullback. I am comfortable with Cloudflare being anywhere from 8-10% of my total portfolio. A solid foundational building block of my portfolio which I am happy to own. $ALAB // Down 28.1% // 6.9% Allocation Astera Labs came down to earth a little bit after a few months of crazy valuation. My trims were timely this time and I reduced before most of the damage by selling a little in June. Pretty quiet on the announcement side of things. On 7/21 they announced the industry's first OCP-Standard Footprint compatible 3.2T Smart Retimers and Smart Redrivers, 16-lane devices supporting 200G-per-lane Ethernet, UALink and ESUN, built on the OCP Signal Conditioner Standard Footprint so customers can "Smart Swap" between a retimer and a redriver without redesigning the board. I've said before that much of what this means in a technical sense goes over my head. That remains the case lol. It received a public endorsement from AMD's Robert Hormuth for what it's worth. Pushing their Taurus product into 200G Ethernet, UALink and ESUN adds another protocol, and therefore another socket per rack, to a content-per-accelerator figure that has already climbed from $50-100 at founding to over $1,000 today. The OCP standard footprint commoditizes the physical socket, Astera shifts the point of differentiation to the COSMOS software layer it controls, and the AMD endorsement shows the standard has buy-in beyond Nvidia platforms. Just like with memory and compute, demand isn't going anywhere. The more racks that get built, the more pie for Astera Labs. Not to mention the second order revenue effects that happen if the price PER rack also increases. If there is an opportunity to buy at a better valuation, I could see myself increasing this position to 8-10% of the portfolio. Earnings on 8/4. $CRWD // Down 1.2% // 6.7% Allocation Crowdstrike started the month of with a 4:1 stock split. Apart from that, the company didn't do too much this month. Named a new Chief Product Officer, former Splunk, on 7/15. Then on 7/21 there was an OpenAI agent incident at the company Hugging Face. There was a breach and closed AI tools reportedly failed to recognize attackers from defenders and blocked forensic analysis. It's the first high-profile publicly documented case of an AI agent acting as an attacker. It speaks to the future (and current) high demand for cybersecurity in the new world of AI. Similar to Cloudflare, there is a premium valuation that has always been attached to this company. I am fine with Crowdstrike being anywhere from 5-8% of my portfolio. Meaning I could trim slightly next month or even add, depending on what my gut tells me. Earnings on 8/26. $SNOW // Up 12.5% // 3.9% Allocation Snowflake had a quiet month. On 7/15, they announced a CEO compensation package based on performance. If Snowflake's market value doubles Ramaswamy can get $448M in equity. Not the biggest piece of news, but shows you what management thinks is possible. Then in mid-July Databricks, a private competitor who is looking to IPO soonish, raised $3B at $188B valuation on a $1.5B annual run rate on AI-workload demand. The bull read is that this validates the sector as a whole, the bear read is that Databricks is winning within the sector. Snowflake is trading at 13x EV, while this would put Databricks at 17x FY28. On 7/28, Cortex AI Gateway launched at Black Hat, a control layer for governing and securing enterprise AI agents. This agent governance move is Snowflake trying to extract and provide value from where the agents are being authorized rather than just where the data sits. Overall I still really like the consumption-based data business that Snowflake has grown into since I first owned it more than a half decade ago. They are durable and well positioned. Earnings on 8/26. Macro July was driven primarily by a rotation out of AI, evidenced by multiple violent moves downward for my portfolio. Semiconductors lost over $1T during the late July selloff. But I do not think this changes anything about the ongoing AI revolution. I actually think it was organized by the hedge funds/powers-that-be so that institutions could get lower entry into some of these names by shaking out fearful retail investors who sell. The Iran War continues on and off, on and off. More chaos but little to do with my stocks. Inflation data came in pretty decent with a 0.4% decline in June CPI. New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's comments indicated that interest rate changes, in either direction, are not off the table. For now, no change there. Steady 4.1% unemployment. My biggest concern with the overall economy continues to be consumer weakness and liquidity as a whole. People are still struggling to pay bills/expenses, homeownership is unattainable for an accelerating number of people, and wealth continues to concentrate at the top where the rich accumulate and hoard assets from everybody else. The richest among us want you to own nothing and pay a subscription for everything... and right now it's working in their favor. On the liquidity front, I can't help but wonder how much "ammo" these large institutions have to push the market higher. Probably just something I don't understand yet about the market, but I'm curious at what point could it just "run out?" Regardless, despite the rough month for my portfolio, the macro environment held very stable. Looking forward to all the earnings reports coming in August! Final Portfolio: $NBIS 45.3% 📉 $MU 18.1% 📉 $NVDA 12.4% $RDDT 11.2% 📉 $NET 8.6% 📈 $ALAB 6.9% 📉 $CRWD 6.7% $SNOW 3.9% 📈

    Fish where the fish are. 🎯 30-Day Marketing Challenge - Day 3 Day 1 you found a real problem. Day 2 you got specific about who has it. Today: figure out where those people already hang out. Here's the mistake I kept making - trying to build an audience from scratch. Posting into the void from an account nobody follows. Wrong move when you're at zero. You don't need a following. You need to show up where thousands of your people already gather - every single day. The good news: they're not hiding. They cluster in the same places: - Subreddits - search your problem + "reddit" - Discord / Slack communities in the niche - Facebook groups (still massively underrated) - Forums & niche communities (Indie Hackers, industry-specific ones) - X / LinkedIn — who do they follow, what communities they are part of One filter: a place only counts if people are actively talking there. A dead group with 3 posts a month is useless. You want daily activity - that's where the fish are biting. You're not going there to spam your link. You're going to listen, learn their exact words, and be useful. (That part's the next few days.) Today's task (doing it with you): List 5 real places your customer already gathers.

    After reading this post You'll know exactly how to market your product on Reddit from start to finish Most founders fail on Reddit for one simple reason They treat it like a marketing platform It isn't Reddit is a community first Marketing comes later Here's the playbook → Step 1 Forget selling Start helping People come to Reddit for honest advice not advertisements If your first interaction is promoting your product you've already lost → Step 2 Find the right subreddits Don't post everywhere Join communities where your ideal customers already spend time Read the rules before posting Every subreddit has its own culture → Step 3 Build trust before promotion Answer questions Share your experience Post useful insights Ask thoughtful questions The goal is to become a valuable member of the community Not another founder trying to sell something → Step 4 Build karma first Your posting history matters Accounts that only promote products get ignored or removed People trust people who consistently help others → Step 5 Follow the 9 to 1 rule For every promotional post Create at least 9 valuable contributions That ratio alone will make you different from most founders → Step 6 Never force your product into a conversation Only mention it when it genuinely solves someone's problem The best promotion feels like helpful advice Not a sales pitch → Step 7 Don't send random DMs Reddit users don't like unsolicited messages Let people discover your profile naturally If they're interested they will reach out → Step 8 Use Reddit as customer research Read complaints Read feature requests Read negative reviews Understand what frustrates your audience Some of the best startup ideas come from Reddit conversations → Step 9 Optimize your profile Most people won't click your links They'll visit your profile Make it clear What you build Who it's for Where they can learn more → Step 10 Stay consistent Reddit rewards people who contribute over time Not people who show up only when they need customers The biggest lesson People don't buy because you posted a link They buy because they trust the person behind it On Reddit Trust becomes profile visits Profile visits become conversations Conversations become customers That's why Reddit is still one of the best places to get your first users in 2026

  • dougpayments
    Doug Woolley - Payments '𝕏'pert (@dougpayments) reported

    The scary part of a card-testing attack isn’t the hundreds of transactions that get declined. It’s the few that get approved. A Shopify merchant recently came to us for advice after their existing payment setup was hit with 217 attempts in roughly seven hours. 209 were declined. 8 were approved. That leaves a merchant asking: Why my store? Who are these people? Where is this coming from? You may never get a satisfying answer to those questions. But you should know exactly what happened, which orders are at risk, and what needs to change before you start processing again. NMI’s automated card-testing detection recognized the abnormal transaction velocity and collapsing approval rate, then temporarily restricted the gateway before the activity continued. The merchant then came to us to investigate. We reviewed the complete transaction export - not just the five orders that appeared successful. We found repeated low dollar attempts, fabricated looking customer information, recycled address patterns, an approved order using a 555 phone number, and another card that was declined multiple times before finally receiving an approval after the billing information changed. We advised the merchant to pause fulfillment, independently verify the customers, and void or refund anything that could not be confirmed. More importantly, the review exposed several gaps within their current fraud configuration. As we move them onto our managed platform, we’ll make sure the appropriate AVS, CVV, velocity, approval rate, geography, notification, and available 3DS controls are properly configured from the beginning. That doesn’t mean nobody can ever attempt card testing again. It means fewer fraudulent transactions should make it through, abnormal activity can be stopped sooner, and the merchant won’t be left trying to diagnose the problem alone. They didn’t need to post publicly hoping someone from support would respond. They didn’t need to search through Reddit threads or loop through chatbot answers. They came to us. We reviewed the data, identified the exposure, gave them an immediate action plan, and are now rebuilding the setup correctly. That’s the difference between simply signing up for payment processing and having an actual payments professional mitigating the risk behind it.
