The concept of "shovels in the gold rush" is really useful in investing, as it speaks directly to thematic opportunities where the approach is to pick a stock as far up the value chain as possible.
A perfect example is Coinbase, which is really a play on the broader crypto market. A less pure-play example is Accenture, which is an attempt to get a slice of the action in AI and cloud investment by corporates. And if you stretch the definition even further, you can come up with plenty of other examples.
Is this a good strategy? And why? Perhaps most importantly, does it always work?
Using examples from our own portfolios, we took the opportunity to discuss the concept of shovels in the X-rush and why investors should add it to their thinking.
As always, this podcast is a way to share our ideas with listeners and drive debate. It is for informational purposes only and should not be treated as financial advice.
