Should You Buy Compass Pathways? A Magic Mushroom Stock No Analyst Will Touch $CMPS (E151)

Krzysztof pitches Compass Pathways: both phase 3 trials of its pharmaceutical psilocybin are already positive, approval looks likely in early 2027, and the company holds 400-plus million in cash against about 40 million a quarter of burn, which by his math is ten quarters of runway. Stanford's Kevin Mak took a position, and Krzysztof walks through Mak's seven structural reasons the stock hasn't rerated. Luke explains gilt laddering as the cash sleeve of a portfolio, which turns into an argument about whether the US can grow its way out of $40 trillion of debt with the 30-year over 5%, and he names HSBC for fumbling his CyberArk payout nearly a year after Palo Alto closed the deal. Voting is open on the September community portfolio: Kraken Robotics, Rocket Lab and Shopify.

🍄 Should you buy $CMPS? The drug works, both phase 3 trials are positive, and the one grey area is whether insurers pay for a dose that needs six-plus hours of clinician supervision 🧠 Kevin Mak's seven reasons: a UK ADR no US index owns, thin institutions, career risk for any analyst who says "buy the magic mushroom stock", no valuation framework, M&A unpriced. A $2 billion company sitting at $15 resistance off a low of $2; Mak's number if you run it is about $45 a share 🗳️ September community portfolio: Kraken Robotics, $RKLB and $SHOP, voting is open at wallstreetwildlife.com 🚀 Luke's Rocket Lab average buy was $3-something; it got as high as $130 and is a $60-something stock now 🛍️ Paul thought $SHOP was overvalued until he opened his own storefront on it; Luke says Shopify got him across the line into early retirement 🧘 Beginner's mind: look at a stock you think you already know with fresh eyes 💷 Gilts in a minute: short-dated UK government bonds, refreshed every six months, as the cash you never leave idle 🇺🇸 The 30-year over 5% on $40 trillion of debt: growth has to beat the interest bill, which is why Krzysztof holds Bitcoin (and the crypto that is not a crypto that shall not be mentioned) 🏦 HSBC vs Trading 212 on the CyberArk acquisition: one converted in a day, one buried itself in bureaucracy and broken processes. Why you should have more than one broker once the numbers get big 💻 Luke is officially addicted to vibe coding
