Big Builds: Why Some Stocks Are Built, Not Traded

There are moments in investing when a stock stops being something you watch and starts being something you build.

Big Builds is the framework behind that shift.

Rather than chasing narratives or reacting to short-term price action, Big Builds focuses on a different question:

When does uncertainty become mispriced enough to justify patience, scale, and time?

That question sits at the heart of long-term capital construction — and it’s one that most investing content never really addresses.

What Big Builds Is (and Isn’t)

Big Builds is not a trading strategy. It is not a list of fast-moving ideas. And it is not about predicting headlines.

Big Builds is about recognizing when execution begins to matter more than excitement — and when a company’s role in future infrastructure becomes clear enough to warrant long-term conviction.

Stocks classified as Big Builds tend to share a few characteristics:

• improving execution over time
• relevance to critical infrastructure or enabling technology
• downside that becomes increasingly definable
• upside that rewards patience rather than urgency

This is a different way of thinking about risk — and a different way of thinking about size.

Introducing the Big Builds Page

To support this framework, I’ve added a new Big Builds page under the Moonshot Tech Portfolio.

The page serves a simple purpose:

• define what Big Builds represents
• show which companies are currently classified as Big Builds
• provide a reference point for articles and updates

It is intentionally minimal. It shows classification only, not position sizes, timing, or trade logic.

You can view it here: Big Builds

Where the Details Live

The full Big Builds system — including detailed case studies, real-world build examples, and long-term execution logic — will be explored in depth in the upcoming book:

The Moonshot Edge: Big Stock Builds

The book is where the full story belongs: how conviction is built, how positions evolve over time, how mistakes are handled, and how patience becomes a strategic advantage.

The site introduces the framework. The book teaches it.

Why This Matters

Most investors spend their time asking what to buy.

Big Builds is about understanding when a stock earns the right to be built — and when restraint matters more than action.

That distinction becomes more important, not less, as markets grow noisier.

What Comes Next

You’ll see Big Builds appear regularly across articles that reference classification changes, portfolio-level discussions, the weekly newsletter, and future book excerpts.

Always as a framework. Never as a shortcut.

Because real conviction isn’t rushed. It’s constructed.
