BREAKING NEWS FOR DDI
This week, I accepted an offer to join the $SOFI team in the Office of the CFO. I couldn't be more thrilled and excited for the opportunity to get to work and have a real positive and tangible effect on this company, the millions of members who use its services, and the shareholders who've invested in the vision to help people get their money right.
This is a huge pivot in my career, and I can't wait for the learning and growth that's ahead of me.
It also means however, that for the foreseeable future, Data Driven Investing is going to wind down. I've loved building this, sharing my analysis, debating back and forth, and learning and interacting with everyone. It's truly been my pleasure to do so. I'll still be here, and I'll definitely be seeing everything you all post, but I won't be talking about SoFi or any other individual equities.
I start December 15, and I can't wait to roll up my sleeves, get to work, and make my footprint bigger than my foot.
FRESH HORSES WE RIDE!
If only I had put everything I had into $PLTR.

Nobody wanted $SOFI at $7 last summer.
Now everyone is lining up to buy at $30.
The fundamentals were always good enough to support a way higher price.
The market finally caught the vision.
I think there will be continued compounding over the long run from here.
I've said a bunch of times over the past 6 months that the only thing that $SOFI needed to run was a change in sentiment because the fundamentals supported a much higher price.
Sentiment shifted and now everyone is trying to pile in.

Fintech Magazine has placed SOFI's @anthonynoto at No.19 in FinTech Top 100 Leaders for 2025 rankings.
I would put him in TOP5 but who I am to judge. :)

Arizona does not vet new voucher schools.
Not even if the school or the online school “provider” has already failed, or was founded yesterday, or is operating out of a strip mall, or offers just a half hour of instruction per morning.

Bluesky has zero ads. It’s such a calming user experience.

Two papers.
On the left, a non-randomized, non-crossover study showing that a one-off sauna exposure significantly decreased arterial stiffness, with implications on cardiovascular health.
On the right, a randomized, crossover (more robust) study, showing no benefits on arterial stiffness or blood flow. Note the colossal difference in Altmetric score and media attention.
The media favors sensational but flawed studies over rigorous ones, distorting public understanding. #science #media
Nothing says ‘I lost this argument’ like a quick block. 💀
This is what confirmation bias looks like👇
Ads are popping up everywhere, claiming that Democrats are using Dominion voting machines to switch votes to @KamalaHarris
This is pure propaganda, designed to divide the country. There’s absolutely no evidence to support these claims. The right has lost it.

Donald Trump will be mad if you retweet this video that's going viral right now following Kamala Harris's decision to go on Fox News to be interviewed by Bret Baier.
How do we protect Americans from wild conspiracy theories like ‘Democrats control hurricanes’ without undermining free speech?
This kind of misinformation is dangerous, and I fear what could happen if it keeps escalating.
This quoted post is unavailable.
As a conservative, every Trump supporter needs to watch ‘Stopping the Steal’ on HBO.
Trump knowingly lied to you and tried to overturn the 2020 election. He doesn’t care about you or our Constitution.

Pretty rich coming from a guy who spent 44 billion USD on one of the biggest social media platforms, and then changed its algorithm so that everyone sees his pro-Trump posts first.
