“A lot of people are skeptical of Palantir, because it sells at 244 times earnings. This morning, Truist comes out with a terrific piece. $223 price target, Rule of 80, that means it’s a fast growing company that actually makes money. If you want to read how this company stock got to where it is, the Truist piece is excellent. I continue to believe in the team, you know people keep talking about Alex Karp. There’s a team of people there, Alex is fiery, the other people, not as fiery. But I believe in them, and that’s based on the fact that everybody I speak to who brings them in, just says they have changed their companies radically, making them thinner, better, more effective. My hat’s off to Palantir, I think they’re a really great company.”
