This helped me learn machine learning and how to apply it to data science more than my college courses.
>atleast the company itself should be profitable after 2 decades.
I got some insight into this from the Peter Thiel biography by Max Chafkin: https://www.amazon.com/Contrarian-Peter-Silicon-Valleys-Pursuit/dp/1984878530
Palantir's initial attempt at commercial enterprise platform was called Metropolis. This was their main codebase up until around 2014, and the company made a lot of mistakes in the engineering that went into this product.
What Palantir was attempting to do, create a system to ingest data from a vast amount of different software platforms, and make all that data accessible/usable to decision makers, had never been done before. All those years, mistakes, and billions of dollars of pre-DPO funding went into building institutional knowledge that made Foundry possible.
Karp ordered Metropolis scrapped in 2014, and Palantir spent the next few years developing the system we know today as Foundry.
I know people are impatient for profits, but I think the growth in U.S. Commercial business shows that Foundry has a real chance at delivering those profits.
This was probably the best investing book I've read. Tried & true beat "growth" stocks that are already popular, where the next XX years of profits are already priced in. The real growth opportunities are in stocks like PLTR.

Hahaha, your right, but also wrong. Margin is not necessarily a growing company, you can grow margin by reducing costs as well.
Apple grew the most in 2011 with 67.59% on the year. Their best 10 year stretch of revenue was from 2005-2015 of 32% compounded annual growth rate.
Apple's latest revenue growth certainly is MASSIVE for the company. Downright impressive honestly, but I will point out:
"Apple's revenue growth for fiscal years ending September 2017 to 2021 averaged 11.8%." https://finbox.com/NASDAQGS:AAPL/explorer/total\_rev\_growth#:\~:text=Apple's%20latest%20twelve%20months%20revenue,ending%20September%202017%20to%202021.
I don't mind people taking me for a fool, I love comparing things. You and this entire sub may disagree with my thoughts and that is totally fine.
Apple having 200B cash is fairly similar to PLTR having 2B based on total revenue:
AAPL 200B cash /83.36B Rev = 2.4 cash to rev
PLTR 2B cash / 1.4B ish TTM rev = 1.4 cash to rev. Should that be compared? not really. Did I just do it? yes.
You are constantly comparing PLTR to TWTR - I think that's great. SBC should be a concern and TWTR is a great example, but that also doesn't take into account trade ratios. Honestly, TWTR looks way more attractive now at a Price to Sales of 7.56ish versus what it was when it IPO'd - 18.23, but I've never done a deep dive into TWTR and if I want to invest there. If you want to add to the TWTR comparison, even with SBC they would be well over 80 if they kept the P/S ratio of 18.

Feel free to disregard my statements, realistically it doesn't matter what I think (or any of us think) anyway.

>Straubel was already a cto before joining tsla
Which only proves my point further. Mr. Straubel was at Rosen Motors, a hybrid vehicle company, in 2002, just 4 years after college (according to chapter 7 of Ashlee Vance's biography of Elon Musk). He was hired as CTO just 4 years out of undergrad.
A person's capabilities and judgment are what matters, not their age or seniority.
I read this one since it was the only one that I could find that provide some way of evaluate a company through "math": https://www.amazon.com/Rule-Strategy-Getting-Rich-Minutes-ebook/dp/B000GCFCQE
Dont get discouraged by the clickbait-y/lame title since the book is not bad, but I imagine there must be much better resources.
