The conversation breaks down the risk-reward spectrum across asset classes and explores why Shervin believes some of the best opportunities today can be found in concentrated public-market investments, while David makes the case for the operational alpha, leverage, and inefficiencies available in real estate.\n\nThey dig into how investors actually create an edge, using companies like Google, Meta, and Microsoft as examples of how high-quality businesses can become temporarily mispriced. Shervin explains why patience, conviction, valuation, and understanding long-term structural tailwinds matter more than trying to compete with algorithms and traders in the short term.\nThe discussion then zooms out to the macro environment: the K-shaped economy, inflation, AI, America’s debt and deficit, the 10-year Treasury, and why falling Fed Funds rates haven’t necessarily translated into lower long-term borrowing costs. David and Shervin also debate whether capital will eventually rotate out of today’s market winners and back toward beaten-down asset classes like commercial real estate.\n\nFinally, Shervin gives his perspective on multifamily, including the headwinds facing markets like Los Angeles, why real estate may be one of the most unloved sectors today, and what could ultimately trigger its rebound. The episode is ultimately a conversation about capital allocation, risk-adjusted returns, finding asymmetric opportunities, and staying positioned for the next major investment cycle.\nChapters\n\n00:00 IB, Bird, liquor stores — Life Before @DebtCeilingDaddy\n04:08 Understanding Risk-Adjusted...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/4CCvylFxdsaNNVGdB1dUOC4NLsR9R2eQL8p1_hY2q7Y/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83NmRk/ZTI0ZGQ1OTRiOTFm/MzAwYzY5MGE1ZmIy/YTk2YS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
