I spent a lot of time thinking about which stock to buy for my long term portfolio.

I didn’t want to chase something that had already gone up hundreds or thousands of percent. I also didn’t want to buy something just because it was down, those are often value traps.

My goal was to find something with a real business, earnings, multiple ways to win, and a story that I felt the market wasn’t fully appreciating yet. That’s usually where my favorite long term ideas come from.

I don’t like to buy stocks where the entire thesis is realized and everyone loves it, I like looking for companies where where the market may be missing the big picture.

I’ve alerted subscribers to just two new long term investments so far this year in 2026.

  • INTC in the $30s (thesis + alert on the day of purchase here)

  • RDDT in the $130s (thesis + alert on the day of purchase here)

You could say they’ve done well.

I don’t just buy anything at any price. For me to make something a long term investment, I need to see a combination of valuation disconnect, misunderstood upside, improving or exceptional fundamentals, and a major theme + narrative that I believe can compound over time.

And I think I’ve found another misunderstood asset.

In the remainder of this article, I’m going to discuss my newest long term investment, why I believe the market may be valuing it through the wrong lens, the hidden pieces of the business that I think are being overlooked, the upcoming catalyst that could force a rerating, and why I believe the setup offers the kind of asymmetry I look for in a long term position.
