if you had the money to spare (and don't mind losing it), would you still not bet on them then?

I have very specifically invested in Defense funds that exclude Palantir both because I think it's overpriced and for ethical reasons.

Even if you have money you don't mind losing, there's plenty of options to choose from on financial markets and Palantir is just one of them.

So the question is still why Palantir and not X/Y/Z?
