You are most like Cathie Wood
“Buy tomorrow's giants today”
You bet early on tomorrow's giants. Aligned with Cathie Wood's pursuit of "inflection points in the innovation curve."
“Innovation is exponential, not linear. What looks expensive today may be cheap in five years.”
— Cathie Wood
You don't look at today's P/E — you look at tomorrow's TAM. A loss-making company is just "investing in the future." You believe the speed of change is the opportunity itself.
Moments that feel like you
- S-curves, penetration rates, TAM/SAM/SOM are everyday vocabulary
- A new tech demo drops — instead of next quarter's EPS, you sketch a 5-year revenue scenario
- "P/E of 200x — isn't that crazy?" — your answer: "P/E is meaningless at this stage"
- Buying on IPO day doesn't scare you
- You watch the full CEO interview, not the clipped version
- In a sell-off, the first thing you crave isn't a value name — it's the most-beaten-down innovator
