FSD’s Big Week, Abel Makes a Mark on Berkshire, and 24/7 Trading

This is not the CISKO, this is the SYSKO, ticker symbol SYY.

This is a food trucking delivery business.

You know, you look at Berkshire, it already owns Pilot Flying J truck stops, maybe some tie in there.

I think another interesting player would be United Rentals.

This is the largest equipment rental company in the country.

A lot of infrastructure work happening.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
FSD’s Big Week, Abel Makes a Mark on Berkshire, and 24/7 Trading

One of the rare bipartisan agreements that we need to invest in infrastructure.

And so United Rentals, I think, has a long tailwind.

And I think that Berkshire could be interested in something like that.

As we said, it's all hypothetical, but I love the idea of Spotify potentially acquiring Paramount.

FSD’s Big Week, Abel Makes a Mark on Berkshire, and 24/7 Trading

It would take Spotify in a very new direction.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing

It would cost a lot of money.

Management would really need to have a thorough and urgent plan of attack.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing

to make sure that it paid off for shareholders.

But this could really elevate Spotify to something that nobody saw coming years ago.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
FSD’s Big Week, Abel Makes a Mark on Berkshire, and 24/7 Trading

And so I do like this idea of Spotify potentially getting paramount.

Have you ever seen the videos of penguins in Antarctica and they're all standing up there on the ice cliff and nobody wants to jump in, then finally one of them kind of slips and then they all start jumping in?

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
FSD’s Big Week, Abel Makes a Mark on Berkshire, and 24/7 Trading

I think that's what just happened.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing

You have all these penguins up on the cliff, and I'm talking about BlackRock, I'm talking about Robinhood, I'm talking about Coinbase, and Intercontinental Exchange, the parent company hereof, and the New York Stock Exchange is saying, we're getting into this tokenized trading.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
FSD’s Big Week, Abel Makes a Mark on Berkshire, and 24/7 Trading

How I think that this works is that the New York Stock Exchange would physically buy a stock and then issue tokens based on that.
