RISING RATES

Despite the Fed's rate cuts since September 2024, the 10-year Treasury yield has climbed to 4.7%. This seemingly paradoxical rise stems from three key factors: persistent inflation expectations driven by wage growth and oil prices, surprisingly robust economic growth with 3.2% GDP expansion, and renewed inflationary pressures from Trump's tariffs on Chinese imports. The combination suggests markets are pricing in longer-term inflation risks despite the Fed's accommodative stance.

WHAT'S CHANGING WITH AI MONETIZATION

Recent shifts in AI pricing models show a move away from traditional seat-based subscriptions toward more varied approaches. Companies like OpenAI and Sierra are exploring higher-priced tiers ($200-500/month), outcome-based pricing, and "AI FTE" models that position AI agents as cheaper alternatives to human employees. The trend suggests companies are still experimenting to find sustainable monetization strategies that align with both value delivery and cost structures.

HOW TO (NOT) INVEST LIFE CHANGING MONEY

A transparent look at how one founder managed his post-acquisition windfall in 2020, comparing his DIY investing approach against Goldman Sachs' wealth management. Despite Goldman's 0.73% annual fees and "vanilla" portfolio strategy split between fixed income and equities, its conservative 10% IRR matched the author's more aggressive 14% IRR on his personal portfolio of venture funds, crypto, real estate, and individual stocks. Even sophisticated founders can underperform simple index investing in their quest for alpha during one of the market's strongest bull runs.

THE INEVITABILITY OF ADVERTISING

Despite Perplexity's initial anti-advertising stance, its move to introduce ads was predictable given business fundamentals. While the company is attempting to maintain "clean" advertising by limiting customization and data sharing, it faces significant challenges: a smaller user base compared to Google, a specific demographic skew, and potential difficulties in scaling audience reach before competitors catch up. Businesses shouldn't be ashamed of sustainable revenue models, but should be transparent about their evolution.
