  @stphnmaher It’s gonna be a little more involved than you think- If Canada’s goal is true technological independence from the United States, a Canadian sovereign cloud is only the first piece of an enormous puzzle: Canada would have to replace or become independent of Amazon/AWS, Microsoft, Google and Oracle for cloud; NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Marvell, Micron, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices and GlobalFoundries for processors, AI accelerators, memory, networking, communications and other semiconductors; Dell, HPE, Supermicro, IBM, Western Digital and Seagate for servers, storage and enterprise hardware; Cisco, Arista, Juniper/HPE, F5 and Ciena for networking and communications infrastructure; Microsoft, Apple, Google, Adobe, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Oracle, Workday, Intuit and Broadcom/VMware for operating systems, productivity, mobile platforms, databases, CRM, ERP, virtualization and enterprise applications; Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, Fortinet, Zscaler, Okta, Cloudflare, Cisco and Microsoft for cybersecurity, identity and internet protection; OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Microsoft and NVIDIA for frontier AI models, development platforms and AI infrastructure; GitHub/Microsoft, IBM/Red Hat, Docker, Datadog, Snowflake, MongoDB, Confluent, Elastic and HashiCorp/IBM for software development, containers, databases, data management and infrastructure automation; Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Stripe, Apple and Google for major payment and digital-wallet infrastructure; Apple, Google and Qualcomm for smartphones and mobile ecosystems; Akamai and Cloudflare for content delivery and internet infrastructure; and, critically, Cadence and Synopsys for semiconductor-design software plus Applied Materials, Lam Research and KLA for the equipment needed to manufacture advanced chips. Even that doesn’t completely solve the problem, because Canadian, European, Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean products frequently incorporate American chips, software, patents, design tools or manufacturing equipment somewhere in their supply chains.

  $PYPL just fell off a cliff. Here is why. On Friday, PayPal closed at 53.66. That is down about 12.7 percent on the day. It was down as much as 16 percent before the open. What happened? Advent and Stripe walked away. They had been chasing PayPal for months. Reports put their offer near 60.50 a share, worth more than 50 billion dollars. The PayPal board thought it was too low. Then the buyers left the table. So the deal premium left the stock. Here is the part to understand. A big chunk of that price was buyout hope, not business news. When the hope goes away, the price falls back to what the business is worth on its own. Now the market has to price PayPal as just PayPal again. Levels I am watching: Failure level: if it cannot hold near 53, sellers are still in charge. Confirmation level: back above 60.50 would say buyers see value with no deal at all. Risk here is real. Catching a knife like this is hard. The story is not over either. A new bidder could show up. Or the stock could just keep sliding for weeks. I do not own it. I am watching. Big drops on deal news often chop around a long time before they pick a side. Not financial advice. Do your own research. Do you all think 60.50 was too low?

  Just pieced together the $KLAR boardroom saga. It deserves the long read. 2005: three students found Klarna — Siemiatkowski, Jacobsson, Adalberth. Their idea takes one of the last places at a business-plan competition. An angel funds them anyway. 2010: Sequoia invests. Michael Moritz — the man who wrote the firm’s checks into Yahoo, Google and PayPal, later Stripe — takes the board seat himself. 2012: Jacobsson leaves. Company worth roughly $1 BN. As far as I know he never builds anything again. Instead he spends 14 years quietly accumulating Klarna stock, using founder pre-emption rights to buy out other holders — much of it at down-round prices. By the IPO filing he holds 8.8% of the company. More than the CEO’s 7.4%. And he keeps a proxy on the board. 2015: Adalberth leaves too — sells most of his stake, builds a foundation, stays on good terms. That’s what a clean exit looks like. Remember the contrast. Meanwhile Siemiatkowski builds: Germany, the banking license, the US, 26 countries, 120m users. Before the IPO he borrows $112m against his own shares to buy MORE stock. At the $40 IPO he sells zero. July 2023: Moritz retires from Sequoia after 38 years — but keeps the Klarna chairmanship, now as a private individual. January 2024: Sequoia needs a new board rep. Enter Matt Miller, 12 years at the firm. Track record: one win (Confluent), one zero (Graphcore, written off in 2022). (Side note - compare it with what Moritz achieved as an investor) February 2024, six weeks into the seat: Miller files to remove Moritz as chairman — aligned with Jacobsson’s camp. Here’s the part I can’t get over. Miller inherited his firm seat from a man half the industry would work for free just to sit in the room with — and moved against him within six weeks. You can call it governance. The market called it something else… It lasts a week. Siemiatkowski flies to San Francisco. Sequoia withdraws the request and publicly apologizes: we fully support Michael as chairman. Miller is pulled off the board, by December he’s out of Sequoia entirely. Truly deserved. October 2024: the board votes out Jacobsson’s proxy after 8 years. Weeks later, Klarna files for its IPO. Then the epilogue. March 2026, lockup week, the overhang everyone feared: Moritz puts $49.9m of his own money in at an average of $14.37. August 2026, eight days after a guidance cut crushed the stock 23%: Siemiatkowski buys ~$10m at $14.37. Same price, six months apart, from the two people who know this company best. Moritz’s whole career is one repeated bet — back the unconsensus founder. Brin and Page. He says it himself in every interview. At $14 he made that bet again: his own money, against his own former firm’s coup, for the founder he’s watched for 16 years. Two camps fought for this company. One built it. The other accumulated it. The builders won every round — and then bought the dip. I’m long $KLAR. Pick your side.

  Most owners still use Claude like a polite intern who rewrites emails. That is the least useful thing it can do. Claude for Small Business now sits in Cowork with QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, DocuSign, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365. It can reconcile, chase, draft, and package work. You approve before anything sends, posts, or pays. Many never flipped the toggle. They kept pasting into chat and wondering why it sounded generic. Stop asking it for sentences. Give it a job. 1. Build a business brain. One Project: offer, pricing, voice samples, FAQ, three winning proposals, two that lost, who you sell to, what you refuse. Skip this and you keep editing sludge. 2. Monday pulse. One page: cash, uncleared settlements, pipeline, this week's commitments, three things that hurt if ignored. Ends the twelve-tab morning. 3. Chase invoices. It reads open invoices, checks settlements, drafts the follow-up, queues it. You approve. Overdue cash stops rotting in a Friday spreadsheet. 4. Close the month for your accountant. Reconcile, flag mismatches, plain-English P&L, export a packet. They want fewer surprises, not a novel. 5. Forecast the ugly week. Thirty days out. Payroll vs incoming cash. Name the week you run out if two invoices slip. 6. Find busy work that loses money. Job costs, SKUs, clients. What looks healthy on revenue and thin on contribution. 7. First-pass contracts. MSA, vendor deal, lease. Flag odd indemnity, auto-renew traps, deviations from your terms. Not your lawyer. The highlighter before the lawyer. 8. Proposal factory. Load three that closed. New draft from a discovery call, same scope style, disclaimers already in. If first drafts still take half a day, the Project is empty. 9. Discovery call to next moves. Transcript in. HubSpot brief, follow-up, open questions, scope outline out. 10. Triage inbound. Sort by fit, budget signal, time-to-close. Draft the yes, the not-now, and the no. Stop answering in arrival order. 11. Support voice from real tickets. Paste twenty replies you were proud of. New complaints get that register, not helpdesk English. 12. Campaign from the slow stretch. Where revenue dipped. Which send moved pipeline. Then Canva assets against that brief, not "we should post more." 13. Repurpose one real offer. Workshop, drop, case study. Sales email, reminder, landing section, three posts that do not sound cloned. One source. Many surfaces. 14. Lead magnet that does work. ROI calculator, quiz, scope estimator as an Artifact. If it answers a question your sales call always answers, keep it. 15. Hire with a scorecard. Role brief, first-week plan, candidate emails. Same standard every time someone quits. 16. Handbook answers the team. Policies, PTO, invoicing, refunds. Staff ask Claude instead of you at 7pm. 17. Tax folder while it is boring. Missing docs, categories, questions your accountant asks in March. October is a gift. April is a tax. 18. Vendor quotes on one page. Price, term, lock-in, exit, the thing buried on page nine. 19. Turn the Monday task you hate into a Skill. Weekly report, recap, SOW format. If it repeats and the bar is specific, stop re-prompting it. 20. Cowork the sites with no connector. Portal report, form, the CSV a vendor still emails. Messy. Cheaper than a VA on the same six screens. Do not let it send, post, or pay in week one. Watch drafts. Fix the voice. Then widen the leash. Owners getting time back are not better prompters. They gave Claude a filing cabinet, a few tools, and one job with a human checkpoint. Start with the Project, the Monday pulse, and invoice chase. The rest can wait until those feel boring. Which of these replaced a real hour, and which still produced a draft you rewrote?

  Matt | The Value Way (@TheValueWay) reported 58 minutes ago

  I find it interesting PayPal fell ~13% this week after Stripe & Advent walked away from their $60.50/share takeover bid. At ~$54, $PYPL now trades at roughly: ~10x 2026 adjusted earnings ~8x adjusted FCF I think that is interesting because PayPal doesn’t need to return to high growth for the maths to work. Management is guiding to ~$5.38 of adjusted EPS and $6bn+ of adjusted FCF, while also planning roughly $6bn of buybacks this year. They’ve already reduced shares outstanding from ~920m to ~862m in six months. So even if total earnings barely grow, continued buybacks can still drive EPS higher. On current EPS alone: 10x = ~$54 12x = ~$65 15x = ~$81 If earnings hold up, buybacks continue and the market eventually decides PayPal deserves something closer to 15x earnings, you don’t need heroic growth assumptions to get a good return. Michael Burry has also argued the $60.50 offer was too low, putting his own lower-end intrinsic value estimate around $75–80, with a takeover value potentially closer to $100. So my thesis is: “Can PayPal protect its moat, keep generating ~$6bn of FCF, aggressively retire shares and eventually earn a less pessimistic multiple?” If yes, management's decision to turn down ~$60.50 could look like a great move!

  Advent and Stripe just walked away from a $50B takeover of PayPal. The board called the offer inadequate. The stock fell 13% anyway. Takeover hope was the floor under this stock. Pull it out and PayPal trades on what it actually is: a payments giant losing share and searching for growth. No buyer means fix it yourself. $PYPL
