at the solid core. In the edges where things are uncertain is where the
evolution happens. - Vinod Khosla

Editor's Notes

  1. There are three major disruptive Dragon Kings, as Didier Sornette calls them. These are characterized by small changes that amplify super-exponentially to become major forces that drive the world. Last year markets a tipping point in divestment with leading endowments, and ever more are signing up. Of course Hedge funds have seen this and many hopped aboard too. The growth in alternatives is important, especially solar. Oil is competing with technology that is getting exponentially better and cheaper. Solar is either at or will be at grid parity within the next couple of years, with costs continuing to decline. Improving Battery technology and EV has the potential to radically transform the landscape. And finally, there’s the pricing and limit of carbon, which has the potential to strand over 75% of the industry’s energy assets. Energy producers recognize this, and will therefore keep pumping as much as they can until those costs are actually imposed.
  2. - Coal, Tar Sands, Shale, Deep Sea Exploration - Materials. Utilities? - Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Australia, Canada - Junk bonds - EM bonds - Financials with Energy Exposure
  3. Identify where we are in the business growth cycle (from macro to sector & firm level) Diffusion of ideas and innovation in societies follow exponential growth patterns also seen in epidemiology Monitor factors that change contagion rates and “tip” epidemics Malcolm Gladwell’s “Tipping Point”: Connectors, Mavens, Salespeople How is today’s financial fashion evolving? Monitor factors that change contagion rates and “tip” epidemics How is today’s financial fashion evolving?
  4. We live in an increasingly complex and fast moving world. Predict and control no longer works. A more sensible approach is Sense and Respond. A mountain biking race would be a good analogy. Of course we do all the homework and map out the course, get GPS and weather forecasts. But what makes the real difference is executing on the course, sensing and responding to the changing conditions of the course. This is a paradigm we will take to stress testing.
