  1. Part 16 · Voices that cross sidesSep 5, 2026

    The bull argument for the financing structure holds that Nvidia is not lending money but providing a revenue guarantee on compute capacity with fundamentally different risk, the compute retains value because it is redeployable, and the customers…

  2. Part 16 · Voices that cross sidesSep 5, 2026

    The core criticism of Nvidia's financing structure is that revenue guarantees on compute capacity becoming cheaper every year means the floor Nvidia is guaranteeing could end up above market rates, and if token prices keep falling, the neoclouds'…

  3. Part 14 · The cash still covers itAug 11, 2026

    Citing management's account of two distinct capital cycles, roughly two years of data center construction before any revenue against 30-plus years of monetization, and about three years to break even on servers with a five to six year life, Invest…

  4. Part 14 · The cash still covers itAug 11, 2026

  5. Part 09 · Not every habitSep 10, 2026

    The 'AI will replace TurboTax' narrative undersells how much of Intuit's moat is trust, compliance complexity, and habit rather than just software, and that gap between fear and reality is the opportunity.

  6. Part 09 · Not every habitSep 10, 2026

    The narrative that AI will replace tax software is starting to crack because consumers and enterprises pay for certainty, and AI mistakes could be more costly than using software like TurboTax.

  7. Part 01 · InsatiableAug 9, 2026

In The Buildout

Where Invest in Assets appears.

One line per story, from the story itself.

  1. Part 16The loan is a bridge

    Invest In Assets set out the bull case on September 5: a revenue guarantee on redeployable compute, for customers backed by large balance sheets, carries a different risk from a loan.

    The Seller Holds the Paper

  2. Part 16The seller funds its demand

    Invest In Assets gave the bear case in its September 5 post: if compute keeps getting cheaper, the floor Nvidia guarantees could end up above market rates.

    The Seller Holds the Paper

  3. Part 14The cash still covers it

    Invest In Assets read the market on August 5 as rewarding Amazon's raised guidance of roughly $220 billion, because Amazon was showing returns on what it spends.

    The Cash Arrives Unevenly

  4. Part 14Four wallets, one ruler

    The roughly $220 billion Invest In Assets cited for Amazon on August 5 leaves more than $120 billion after $98.4 billion, against about $130 billion of operating cash at its first-half growth of 44%.

    The Cash Arrives Unevenly

  5. Part 09What software keeps

    Intuit is the test: Invest in Assets says its moat is “trust, compliance complexity, and habit, not just software,” because a tax mistake costs more than the software.
