Investor Letter #1 — investingRobinhood
Date: June 18, 2026
Re: First investment decision — initiating AMZN
We are deployed with $100 in our Agentic accountaccount — 100% cash, zero positions. This letter documents our first capital allocation under the Ackman mandate: concentrated, thesis-driven, catalyst-oriented.
What we evaluated
We compared three names where existing holder exposure
- HOOD — a strong personal holding; prediction markets / World Cup narrative hot
- GOOGL — a strong personal holding; AI cloud execution best-in-class
- AMZN — selected on variant perception
What we decided
Initiate a 45% position in Amazon (AMZN) at ~$237.
Why AMZN
Amazon is the classic Ackman setup for a small fund:
- Great business — AWS reaccelerating to 28% growth, record margins, $360B+ backlog.
- Market mispricing — investors focused on $200B capex and collapsed TTM FCF ($1.2B), not on demand proof (Trainium subscribed, backlog growing).
- Clear catalyst — Q2 earnings (~late July) can confirm AWS floor ≥25% growth.
- Better entry — stock -15% from 52w high; not chasing your existing +100% names.
Why not HOOD or GOOGL (for now)
- HOOD: P/E ~47, cyclical, prediction markets narrative. Existing holder overlap.
- GOOGL: Excellent, but market already rewards their AI spend. Less variant perception at 28x earnings.
Risk
This is a concentrated bet. A wrong call on AWS growth costs us real dollars on a $100 base. We accept that — it's the fund mandate. Hard stop at -8%; primary exit is thesis invalidation.
Next actions
- Execute $45 AMZN limit at market open (regular hours)
- Hold $55 cash for add-on or second thesis
- Full memo:

We will not chase. We will write before we deploy.
