We first covered MercadoLibre in March 2023. We talked about Alibaba meeting Amazon in Latin America. Mostly, we were just highly impressed with the cohesive ecosystem that the company has built. We were also big fans of the commitment to profitability, something that many tech companies could learn something from. With Argentina in the headlines and renewed focus on the broader LatAm region, how has the business performed this year?
Qualcomm holds a vast library of patents for 3G, 4G and 5G technology. The company has earned licensing revenue for years, with the profits reinvested in extensive R&D to create the Snapdragon range of chips and associated systems. On paper, it should all be going well.

In episode 137 of Magic Markets, we caught up with Craig Antonie of AnBro Capital Investments to talk about chips. No, not the crunchy kind – the kind of chips that tech stocks live and die by. Craig highlighted a lesser known semiconductor company, BE Semiconductor, with the ticker BESI giving it the cute nickname “Bessie”. The company is using hybrid bonding and new technology to show that there’s excitement in chips beyond just AI.
