Rigatoni Capital Podcast

Warren Buffett was on CNBC's Squawk Box with Becky Quick this morning and made clear that a 10% correction is not enough to get him excited. I cover that interview and share my own 5 reasons why I am also not buying this dip yet. We also go through a handful of tickers on my radar right now. Rigatoni Capital is a daily morning podcast for long term, buy and hold investors. This is not a show f...

AppLovin is down over 40% year to date, Meta has been selling off, and the broader software and tech space is deeply out of favor right now. This morning I walk through what is happening across the software and tech selloff, why the market is punishing names like AppLovin despite genuinely strong fundamentals and free cash flow... I also give my honest take on why I am not yet stepping in to buy t...

I sat down recently with Satishan, the writer behind the AlphaMonk newsletter on Substack, for the second time. The first episode felt like two people who had accidentally discovered they were reading the same books. The overlap of our work is pretty crazy. We covered Amazon's path to a trillion dollars in revenue, BlackRock as the East India Company of the 21st century, Larry Fink's 2026...

This morning I look at Broadridge Financial Solutions, which has now fallen for seven straight days and is down over 8% in that stretch despite beating earnings estimates. I also cover SMH as a way to get semiconductor exposure without having to pick winners and losers in what is a very complicated space right now. Netflix gets a look as well, and I close out on why Bitcoin has real value and why...

Today I cover: Microsoft and Google stock, Brown and Brown, and why you should not panic sell during wartime. I also touch on the humanoid robotics space including Figure and Amazon's Fauna Robotics and why at Rigatoni Capital we believe humanoid robots are a distraction. The better investing thesis is to own the semiconductors that will power these robots, not the robots themselves. Rigatoni...

Rigatoni Capital is a daily morning podcast for long term, buy and hold investors. This is not a show for short term traders or people looking for quick wins.

Oracle reported last night and the stock is jumping, CPI came in at 2.4% in line with expectations, and I walk through what both of those mean for the market and for long term investors. On Oracle, the numbers were strong across the board. Total revenue came in at $17.2 billion, up 22% year over year. Cloud revenue surged 44% and infrastructure revenue jumped 84%. The company also raised its fisca...

Today feels like a brief pause before the next wave hits. CPI data is coming and the market knows it, which means the volatility we have been living through is far from over. I go through what I am watching this morning and why I think the calm will be short lived. We cover oil prices, which remain elevated as the Iran war continues to grind on with no clear off ramp. I also break down the VIX. I...

Markets are under serious pressure this morning and I walk through exactly what I am watching and what I am doing as a long term investor. Panic is not a strategy. I go through the macro picture, the charts, and the key events ahead this week. Overnight, Iran named Mojtaba Khamenei, the 56-year-old son of the assassinated Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, as the country's new supreme leader. The As...

The February jobs report showed 92,000 jobs lost. Oil is now trading above $90 a barrel, WTI crude surging roughly 37% in a single week as the Iran war chokes off the Strait of Hormuz. Gas prices at the pump just hit $3.32 a gallon nationally, their highest level of the year, and analysts are warning of $100 Brent crude if the disruption holds. I walk through exactly what is happening in energy ma...

The February jobs report just dropped and it is ugly. The US shed 92,000 jobs last month, a massive miss versus expectations of a gain of 60,000, and the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.4%. It is the third time in five months the economy has lost jobs, and the revisions made it worse. December was revised from a gain of 48,000 to a loss of 17,000. I break down what this means for the Fed, for inf...

Three stories every long-term investor should be paying attention to today. First, Broadcom. Most people who own index funds like QQQ or the S&P 500 have meaningful exposure to AVGO without ever realizing it. We walk through why Broadcom matters, what the company actually does, and why understanding your largest index holdings is a core part of being an informed investor. AVGO just reported re...

Korea's KOSPI just had its worst day since 2024, down 7.2% in a single session. Samsung and SK Hynix got crushed, circuit breakers were triggered, and foreign investors dumped over $3 billion in Korean equities. We break down exactly why it happened and who is winning right now. To understand today's selloff, you have to trace the full chain. US tariffs on China led to Beijing retaliating with ref...

First, Berkshire Hathaway. We break down their Q4 2025 results — operating earnings fell nearly 30% year over year to $10.2 billion, dragged down by a 54% collapse in insurance underwriting profits. We put that number in context, explain why it looks worse than it actually is, and walk through how Berkshire actually makes its money: the key revenue segments powering the conglomerate, from the insu...

On the first trading day since the outbreak of the US-Iran war, we break down how defense stocks are responding and what long-term investors should be watching. Then we shift to earnings season — what's coming this week and what matters. We close with a look at Berkshire Hathaway and American Express weakness, and what that signals about consumer and financial sector sentiment. All of it through t...

In this episode of Rigatoni Capital, I break down market sentiment coming out of last week's earnings and dive deep into U.S. defense manufacturers — including whether the ITA ETF makes more sense than picking individual names like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman for a long-term portfolio. I also preview Broadcom's earnings report this Wednesday, cover the broader semiconductor lan...

With U.S. and Israeli forces launching joint strikes on Iran this morning under Operation Epic Fury and Operation Shield of Judah, we break down what's happening in real time and what it means for your portfolio. We walk through the defense manufacturer thesis — LMT, RTX, NOC, LHX — and why a permanent allocation to this sector acts as geopolitical insurance rather than a tactical trade. We cover...
