FSD: The Return of Quality — Lumida Wealth : Non-Consensus Invest Beyond the Ordinary

Coming off the 250th anniversary weekend, Ram opens with reflections on the bicentennial and the podcast he made framing World War II as the first global test of the ideas in the Declaration of Independence. Then he gets to the market shift he's been watching: after three months of semis sucking capital out of everything else, money is rotating back into quality. He explains what "quality" actually means, the specific names he owns and doesn't, and why utilities and health care are working right now.
