Inflation has a greater impact on people's cost of living than a crashing stock or housing market, resulting in an immediate and tangible effect. This explains the current high level of negative market sentiment, and our need for assistance in surviving this challenging economy. The financial markets have underperformed due to fears of inflation, causing stock and bond prices to plummet. Despite sounding basic, consulting a financial advisor has enabled me to outperform the market and achieve a profit of $850,000 since June 2022, making it the ideal approach to enter the financial markets today.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, constructing a solid financial portfolio has become increasingly intricate. Therefore, I strongly advise anyone facing difficulties to consider seeking professional assistance. By doing so, you can access tailored strategies that specifically cater to your individual long-term goals and financial aspirations.
May I know the name of the financial advisor who has been helping you with your investments? If you're comfortable sharing, could you also guide me on how to contact them?
The financial advisor I work with is *STEPHANIE KOPP MEEKS* . I discovered her during a CNBC interview and contacted her thereafter. She has been guiding me by providing entry and exit points for the specific securities I focus on. If you're interested, you can search for her online to learn more about her expertise. I have been following her market strategies and have had no regrets thus far.
After conducting an online search, I came across *STEPHANIE KOPP MEEKS* and thoroughly examined her credentials. It appears that she possesses considerable expertise in the field. Consequently, I reached out to her, providing a comprehensive description of my financial market objectives.
Thanks for the video on Chamath. He should be prosecuted by SEC for his open cheating on networks like CNBC. And these networks must ban this guy from any future airtime and promotions.
The problem is years ago they would do good videos on him giving him praise which led us all astray. It’s too late. We lost our money and now they’re calling him out? Smh
It isn’t a scam to go on TV and say that your taking a company public and that you think it’s a good investment. Even if you don’t think it’s a good investment.

Also he massively promoted and invested in other SPACS like Latch and Sunlight Financial, as well as the SPACs that didn't get deals, like IPOD and IPOF.
A SPAC is sketchy in the first place and the business models weren't profitable at a perfunctory glance. So I would blame retail for not doing their homework.
He is amazing to watch. He shows how clinical psychopath behaves and reacts to things. Never in history can we observe the mannerisms and behaviours of clinical psychopath
What I learned from "all in podcast". Making money is easy when do not care who gets hurt just as long as you get paid. Lying and misinformation is a great marketing tool for sociopaths.
@@goden8884 I think him and Jcal are the clearest sociopaths. Chamath is not easy to spot but after more listening, it becomes clearer. Its also very interesting how he sort of holds back on his outspoken worship of Musk because he knows musk is taking a reputation hit at the moment. But I learn so much about these people. Im happy All In podcast exist, if not they will be in the shadows. To be able to observe these sociopath in more detail is helpful.
@@MirceaGoia I wonder if you have them in isolation without people they can take advantage of. What are the behaviours? Everyone will try to dominate everyone. Im sure some form of hierarchy will form and then bloodbath.
To all guys calling him Indian in the comment thread, his family is originally from Srilanka and he was raised in Canada. Just to get the facts straight.
He has literally gone on national TV talking up a stock WHILE selling it. Only months later was it revealed he was selling at that time. This was years ago. The guy is a literal fraudster.
But look at SOFI's performance since it went IPO. Useless. Sorry for all those people who trusted this guy and invested all their hard earned money in these broken companies and got broke while he pumped and dumped his shares and became a billionaire.
@@boucherdaniels897 Revenue 2021: 1B /2023: 2,9B while losing less money. That‘s actually a very good performance. So it‘s a very good invesment if you take out the macro economie
@@boucherdaniels897if you were smart then you see the drop in stock price as an opportunity especially while Sofi has amazing growth with amazing quarterly earnings reports and will report GAP profitability in January of 2024… the drop in stock price was due to the student loan moratorium that has recently ended in October.
To be fair, I can name another 50 high-growth tech companies that went down 75-90% in the last couple of years... when you buy something listening to someone, you must also sell as soon you know that person sold. You are only left holding the bag when you execute half the trade (buy-side).
The problem is bigger than Chamath. He is just the worst among a pack of wolves. Ever since the stock crash of 2008, the average company has performed increasingly terribly after IPO. It starts with accelerator programs like Y Combinator that hype up founders who have copied and pasted their ideas off other people then raced to succeed first without increasing customer value. They rely too much on ads to get big and they never figure out how to decrease these costs or how to convince customers or advertisers to pay more. So the company falls apart. But the early investors often get out before the public realises what is going on. High growth is a scam. It is all about running a business unprofitably and promising that you can bring down the costs, when you have no idea how you will achieve that. So you shouldn't say that Chamath is not so bad compared to high growth tech companies. They're all crooks to varying degrees.
Also, how were people supposed to know that Chamath has sold? He advertised the stocks on broadcast TV, but those networks did not put the same effort into alerting people of his sale. What you are suggesting is not reasonable. Most people have jobs and cannot be tracking things like this in real time. I wouldn't even know what Twitter accounts to follow to make sure that I get alerted to something like this . And I definitely wouldn't know how to track his trades by myself.
My wife worked for hedge fund in London run by one of Chamath's closest friends and former investment partners. Around late-2020, early-2021, he suddenly put all of his focus into as many SPAC investments as possible. I still remember telling my wife this sounds like a straight up scam. She now works as a film producer, while her former fund lost 83 last year.
For Chameth's technique to work, he must drum up on how "Majority" regular people could benefit from his SPAC. The truth is he would gain the most from his tactics. Not the ordinary people. Once you broke trust, you are nothing in this digital world.
Do one on Bill Gates, Wall St, Congress, Big Tech, Legacy Media, Big Pharma, the WEF, the World Bank..... your governrment.... How you got scammed by all of them and didnt b|tch about it one bit! Lol
Let me, a constant All In Podcast watcher tell this Chamath's quote: "All I care is to maximize the profits to LP's" . LP stands for Limited Partner. He cares only about wealthy investors, aka his buddies in Silicon Valley, not retail and deffinetly not the company he's taking public. He also said that he sells the stock immediately after the company goes public. In first milisecond it's public. He wants out of public market immediately, take the profits and do it all over again. All In Pod is a great place to see how Silicon Valley billionaires think and act. Or at least used to be, until they started talking about politics and nothing else...
I lost half of my gains because of the SPAC bubble but I never blamed Chamath. All information like the balance sheets, revenue projections, profitability and such regarding those SPAC deals were made public. The market also had extremely rich valuations that time so I do not feel sorry for those who bought in and lost money just because this guy told them to buy.
Never trust somebody who only talks about or sells a company based on potential investor returns or quickly “10xing” your initial investment…especially if they have a financial interest or stake in it. The overwhelming majority of start ups and small cap companies eventually either underperform forever, fizzle out and go bankrupt or years later if they show profitability they’ll get acquired by a much larger company that’s a competitor. Your chances of getting in on the IPO of a company like Microsoft, Apple or Amazon is much, much slimmer than you think and there’s a whole lot of gambling and luck involved.
It’s always good to have a financial plan. I work with a licensed planner and fixed-income strategist in LA that helps me sort out these plans of investments
My portfolio is made up of dividend etf’s, dividend stocks, growth stocks, it allows a bit more freedom in specific areas with help of an advisor CHRIS RYAN STEWART who I’ve been in touch with over the years before buying any stocks and it’s been working perfectly for me.
For long-term investing, one of the key strategies is to get a professional to diversify your portfolio. This means spreading your investments across different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate, to reduce risk. It's also important to consider your time horizon and investment horizon. The longer you have to invest, the more you can potentially take advantage of compounding returns.
I’m so glad I didn’t really make any big mistakes when I started my investment journey last year. So far I’ve just been sticking small amounts of money into companies I’m sure will continue to exist for the next five years and if the stocks do well, I hold on. If not, I reinvest the bad ones into the good ones so I can get higher gains. I gained about $9.5k from putting in $4k into NVIDIA earlier this year so that was pretty nice.
I am a dividend investor for the most part but I have bought Tesla stock a couple of times. However I have bought Tesla stock again and will hold for the long haul this time.
Great info, how can I get someone like that?…. I’m bombarded with the “don’t sit on it during the inflation, I wanted to jump in 8/22 and did nothing so far this year I think I need to get my feet wet
When I first heard of spacs I knew exactly how it would end. Ipos never do well and spacs were just ipos with lesser entry points for companies to raise money and these guys to get their commissions and run.
The thing is: it doesn't matter. Money doesn't exist, we only have currencies. The name of the game is: make money before this goes to shit. And if you have a bot running your buys and sells, all the better.
American economies have been destroyed beyond sanity since before the Reagan Era, everything you see today that defies logic is because of the Southern Strategy and the outcomes of deregulation. It is a spinning door where only the wealthiest survive making it out to the other side.
Capitalism is not the problem. Greed is the problem. No matter which economic system, greed persists. Whether the government controls are wealth/communism or the people control weath, greed is there. We need proper regulations, punishments, and accountability. But many of those who should be holding people accountable are also crooks.
One particular trait of our world is exposed by wonderful cobling of whatever useful basic mechanical utensils that were deffinite in production in the European past of two centuries ago.
In the US only the little thieves get caught on Wall Street, big ones like him get away with it for the most part. Also depends on who lost money, if it's just retail then SEC rarely does anything like in this case, on the other hand if a bunch of rich famous people lose money or are made to look bad as happened with SBF then they prosecute.
Everyone always gets enticed by “looking good” which can be reasonable. What lot of people forget is that you actually have to “do good” to “look good”.
Because he has celebrity appeal and people, for some bloody reason, think celebrities are faultless and everything they do is good. You mix in the virtue signalling he was clever to craft, think of his "green" investments, and you get the political capital needed to really scam people. People ate his turds and said it was chocolate. I don't feel sorry for people that fell for an obvious scam. Don't blindly "trust" anyone, especially someone that stands to gain from your loss.
To be fair I've heard a lot of different macro investors openly state, since the beginning of 2022, that "Cash is king." and risk assets such as stocks and baskets of stocks are probably not going to perform well until the money printer gets turned on again.
I'm currently been in India the last three months...i never seen soooooo many scammers in my life. I lived in a few different Asian countries the last 14 years and haved traveled in dozens of countries! India is in it's league of its own for scamming people. It's all of this region. When I was in Nepal a few months ago, it was pretty bad. One of the biggest youtubers channels just does videos about how to spot scammers.
But the investors bought in based on speculation as well. SPAC is high risk like any vehicle. Same can be said with AARK? Its not a scam if it's going up? Investors forgot they signed on the dot and bought the shares willingly.
Yeah, he is a pump and dumper, BUT SOFI is actually a great LONG-term company he took public with continued growth and opportunity. It was overvalued at the IPO and for a bit. Its a very good long-term hold and currently fairly valued at the moment.
I originally looked into buying Galactic. It really didn't take much looking into their prospectus and quarterly reports to figure out they would likely never be profitable. That being said, I also bought into Palintar when it was above $25 a share. Closed my position not long ago when it blipped up, licked my wounds, and put in an managed index fund. Now I don't check my portfolio every day.
Put half your money into an S&P index ETF like SPY & the other half in the Nasdaq 100 index (trades as QQQ) every time it drops, or just invest in it quarterly. It’s the top 100 companies in the tech-heavy nasdaq & has pretty much outperformed everything else for my entire lifetime. Tech isn’t going anywhere. If you’re young, consider changing this allocation from 50/50 to like 25/75 in favor of QQQ
He said sell around new years, plain and simple, he was right. But his flippant attitude around Solana dumping and laughing rubbed me the wrong way once it was revealed that it probably only pumped because Sam using customer funds to pump it up
Anytime a company or billionaire says that their idea "democratizes x" just know it's likely to be fool's gold. Remember Robinhood? Sold themselves as mediators to equalize the playing field for poor retail investors only to discover that they were in bed w the same people they were supposed to be against. Payment for order flow isn't evil in itself but does pose potential conflicts of interest and Robinhood didn't disclose this to their retail customers.
Honestly I’m with Chamath here. If you’re stupid enough to listen to anyone rather than actually taking initiative and handle YOUR OWN INVESTMENTS then you’ll forever lose money.
CNBC has a huge hand in this scam, they had him on regularly. Even a few times a week he would be on cnbc

No One does their Research and
Want someone to Blame for their
Poor Choices. 😂
He is amazing to watch. He shows how clinical psychopath behaves and reacts to things. Never in history can we observe the mannerisms and behaviours of clinical psychopath
Why do you think he is friends with Musk, Sacks and other from his clique at All In podcast?
What I learned from "all in podcast". Making money is easy when do not care who gets hurt just as long as you get paid. Lying and misinformation is a great marketing tool for sociopaths.
@@goden8884 I think him and Jcal are the clearest sociopaths. Chamath is not easy to spot but after more listening, it becomes clearer. Its also very interesting how he sort of holds back on his outspoken worship of Musk because he knows musk is taking a reputation hit at the moment. But I learn so much about these people. Im happy All In podcast exist, if not they will be in the shadows. To be able to observe these sociopath in more detail is helpful.
@@MirceaGoia I wonder if you have them in isolation without people they can take advantage of. What are the behaviours? Everyone will try to dominate everyone. Im sure some form of hierarchy will form and then bloodbath.

Has anyone noticed this hit pieces came out after he claimed with the benefit of hindsight Trump was a better President.
To all guys calling him Indian in the comment thread, his family is originally from Srilanka and he was raised in Canada. Just to get the facts straight.
Are there no legal recourses considering how involved he was in promoting these things?
A VC using OPM. He needs to face the law as a pump and dump public set up.
He has literally gone on national TV talking up a stock WHILE selling it. Only months later was it revealed he was selling at that time. This was years ago. The guy is a literal fraudster.
They all do that. It’s the same with people telling you to sell everything while they short the stock.
Actually Sofi is one of the best performing unprofitable small cap.
But look at SOFI's performance since it went IPO. Useless. Sorry for all those people who trusted this guy and invested all their hard earned money in these broken companies and got broke while he pumped and dumped his shares and became a billionaire.
@@boucherdaniels897
Revenue 2021: 1B /2023: 2,9B while losing less money. That‘s actually a very good performance. So it‘s a very good invesment if you take out the macro economie
@@boucherdaniels897if you were smart then you see the drop in stock price as an opportunity especially while Sofi has amazing growth with amazing quarterly earnings reports and will report GAP profitability in January of 2024… the drop in stock price was due to the student loan moratorium that has recently ended in October.
I am afraid people like him will give bad reputation to indian origin people us and tech
He is truly the king of the Jeets
He wasn’t alone! The entire cast of All-in is SUS AF! Calacanis, Sacks, and Friedberg!
To be fair, I can name another 50 high-growth tech companies that went down 75-90% in the last couple of years... when you buy something listening to someone, you must also sell as soon you know that person sold. You are only left holding the bag when you execute half the trade (buy-side).
But almost all of them have rebounded and back up, because they are real companies
The problem is bigger than Chamath. He is just the worst among a pack of wolves. Ever since the stock crash of 2008, the average company has performed increasingly terribly after IPO. It starts with accelerator programs like Y Combinator that hype up founders who have copied and pasted their ideas off other people then raced to succeed first without increasing customer value. They rely too much on ads to get big and they never figure out how to decrease these costs or how to convince customers or advertisers to pay more. So the company falls apart. But the early investors often get out before the public realises what is going on. High growth is a scam. It is all about running a business unprofitably and promising that you can bring down the costs, when you have no idea how you will achieve that. So you shouldn't say that Chamath is not so bad compared to high growth tech companies. They're all crooks to varying degrees.
Also, how were people supposed to know that Chamath has sold? He advertised the stocks on broadcast TV, but those networks did not put the same effort into alerting people of his sale. What you are suggesting is not reasonable. Most people have jobs and cannot be tracking things like this in real time. I wouldn't even know what Twitter accounts to follow to make sure that I get alerted to something like this . And I definitely wouldn't know how to track his trades by myself.
As an Englishman who grew up in the 90s I would never trust a man known as the 'spac king'. Any thirty something Brit would see this as a bad omen.
My wife worked for hedge fund in London run by one of Chamath's closest friends and former investment partners. Around late-2020, early-2021, he suddenly put all of his focus into as many SPAC investments as possible.
I still remember telling my wife this sounds like a straight up scam. She now works as a film producer, while her former fund lost 83 last year.
83% of their funds?
A hedge fund would just sell the warrants and then redeem the shares, same as every other hedge fund trading SPACs
For Chameth's technique to work, he must drum up on how "Majority" regular people could benefit from his SPAC. The truth is he would gain the most from his tactics. Not the ordinary people. Once you broke trust, you are nothing in this digital world.
The question is why the SEC allowing SPACs to even exist ?!
Great job. Please spread this video all over the internet so that the investing community knows who is this guy and won't fool for him in the future.
I picked up $OPEN and 95c up 100% $CLOV at $1 slightly up.. its not his fault you don’t understand valuations..
A certain trait that comes from one and only part of our world.
😊
Do one on Bill Gates, Wall St, Congress, Big Tech, Legacy Media, Big Pharma, the WEF, the World Bank..... your governrment.... How you got scammed by all of them and didnt b|tch about it one bit! Lol
A certain part of the world?? You mean Europe, specifically Italy where Charles Ponzi was born?
Let me, a constant All In Podcast watcher tell this Chamath's quote: "All I care is to maximize the profits to LP's" . LP stands for Limited Partner. He cares only about wealthy investors, aka his buddies in Silicon Valley, not retail and deffinetly not the company he's taking public.
He also said that he sells the stock immediately after the company goes public. In first milisecond it's public. He wants out of public market immediately, take the profits and do it all over again.
All In Pod is a great place to see how Silicon Valley billionaires think and act. Or at least used to be, until they started talking about politics and nothing else...
I don't trust the guy
Never trust a dodgey indian in business.
Agree. A history of pitching with conviction, then "changing his opinion"
Every person with over a few million dollars is greedy and a bad person. It's simple.
You don't trust Indians
If its not chinese . I don't trust it .
I only trust chinese
I lost half of my gains because of the SPAC bubble but I never blamed Chamath. All information like the balance sheets, revenue projections, profitability and such regarding those SPAC deals were made public. The market also had extremely rich valuations that time so I do not feel sorry for those who bought in and lost money just because this guy told them to buy.
Never trust somebody who only talks about or sells a company based on potential investor returns or quickly “10xing” your initial investment…especially if they have a financial interest or stake in it. The overwhelming majority of start ups and small cap companies eventually either underperform forever, fizzle out and go bankrupt or years later if they show profitability they’ll get acquired by a much larger company that’s a competitor. Your chances of getting in on the IPO of a company like Microsoft, Apple or Amazon is much, much slimmer than you think and there’s a whole lot of gambling and luck involved.
Yep, always be suspicious of someone talking their own book.
It’s always good to have a financial plan. I work with a licensed planner and fixed-income strategist in LA that helps me sort out these plans of investments
My portfolio is made up of dividend etf’s, dividend stocks, growth stocks, it allows a bit more freedom in specific areas with help of an advisor CHRIS RYAN STEWART who I’ve been in touch with over the years before buying any stocks and it’s been working perfectly for me.
For long-term investing, one of the key strategies is to get a professional to diversify your portfolio. This means spreading your investments across different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate, to reduce risk. It's also important to consider your time horizon and investment horizon. The longer you have to invest, the more you can potentially take advantage of compounding returns.
I’m so glad I didn’t really make any big mistakes when I started my investment journey last year. So far I’ve just been sticking small amounts of money into companies I’m sure will continue to exist for the next five years and if the stocks do well, I hold on. If not, I reinvest the bad ones into the good ones so I can get higher gains. I gained about $9.5k from putting in $4k into NVIDIA earlier this year so that was pretty nice.
I am a dividend investor for the most part but I have bought Tesla stock a couple of times. However I have bought Tesla stock again and will hold for the long haul this time.
Great info, how can I get someone like that?…. I’m bombarded with the “don’t sit on it during the inflation, I wanted to jump in 8/22 and did nothing so far this year I think I need to get my feet wet
I experienced this, if Chamath recommends option A it’s clear that never go for A, go with option B,C or D
When I first heard of spacs I knew exactly how it would end. Ipos never do well and spacs were just ipos with lesser entry points for companies to raise money and these guys to get their commissions and run.
The thing is: it doesn't matter. Money doesn't exist, we only have currencies. The name of the game is: make money before this goes to shit. And if you have a bot running your buys and sells, all the better.
I mean for years it was clear that he was not who was he was said about. Don’t understand why people don’t see it in the first place.
That's how investment works. Elon musk gets the billionaires to buy Tesla so that they pump in money whenever Tesla needs it
I am not trying to build myself up but I don't understand how people fall for these grifters. They all come off as dishonest salesmen to me.
The sheer brazen-ness of scamming on syndicated television leads me to believe these scams are far too common and not punished.
On the contrary, it’s rewarded quite handsomely.
Well thats the modern day capitalism of United States. You make money by any which way possible. No accountability or ethics or a reasoning.
American economies have been destroyed beyond sanity since before the Reagan Era, everything you see today that defies logic is because of the Southern Strategy and the outcomes of deregulation. It is a spinning door where only the wealthiest survive making it out to the other side.
That's normal in wall street right?
Capitalism is not the problem. Greed is the problem. No matter which economic system, greed persists. Whether the government controls are wealth/communism or the people control weath, greed is there. We need proper regulations, punishments, and accountability. But many of those who should be holding people accountable are also crooks.
“Of all the things that I care about, it is below my line,” Chamath Palihapitiya
I always wonder about people who are able to see this guy and hear him but then give him a dime. INSANE.
One particular trait of our world is exposed by wonderful cobling of whatever useful basic mechanical utensils that were deffinite in production in the European past of two centuries ago.
HE LIED ABOUT CLOVER HEALTH AND I LOST MY MONEY. I WANT TO SUE WE NEED TO START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT!!
Aren’t there any laws against scammers in the US?
They don’t apply if the rich scam the poor
In the US only the little thieves get caught on Wall Street, big ones like him get away with it for the most part. Also depends on who lost money, if it's just retail then SEC rarely does anything like in this case, on the other hand if a bunch of rich famous people lose money or are made to look bad as happened with SBF then they prosecute.
❤
No
No criminal ones but maybe the SEC could fine him.
Somebody said a few thousand years ago, "What good is it to gain the whole world and loose your soul?"
Found out early he was getting huge equity positions to pump these early on.... knew he was a scammer then.
Everyone always gets enticed by “looking good” which can be reasonable. What lot of people forget is that you actually have to “do good” to “look good”.
How people still get scammed by guys like that is a mystery to me. It's so obvious they're scammers!
Because he has celebrity appeal and people, for some bloody reason, think celebrities are faultless and everything they do is good. You mix in the virtue signalling he was clever to craft, think of his "green" investments, and you get the political capital needed to really scam people. People ate his turds and said it was chocolate.
I don't feel sorry for people that fell for an obvious scam. Don't blindly "trust" anyone, especially someone that stands to gain from your loss.
To be fair I've heard a lot of different macro investors openly state, since the beginning of 2022, that "Cash is king." and risk assets such as stocks and baskets of stocks are probably not going to perform well until the money printer gets turned on again.
He is Indian. What did everyone expect
He’s Sri Lankan.
He proved the old saying "A fool and his money are soon parted" to be right.
Scamath Pumpndumpitiya started his career at some indian call center as an irs agent John White
Time to regulate SPACS.
I'm currently been in India the last three months...i never seen soooooo many scammers in my life. I lived in a few different Asian countries the last 14 years and haved traveled in dozens of countries! India is in it's league of its own for scamming people. It's all of this region. When I was in Nepal a few months ago, it was pretty bad. One of the biggest youtubers channels just does videos about how to spot scammers.
But the investors bought in based on speculation as well. SPAC is high risk like any vehicle. Same can be said with AARK? Its not a scam if it's going up? Investors forgot they signed on the dot and bought the shares willingly.
Great video! Thank you!
I love watching videos of how to spot people being deceptive. Looking to the side, up, repeating things. heh Chamath fits the bill at 18:18 perfectly.
Sad thing is there are still people who believe money will go back into SPACs these days.
Yeah, he is a pump and dumper, BUT SOFI is actually a great LONG-term company he took public with continued growth and opportunity. It was overvalued at the IPO and for a bit. Its a very good long-term hold and currently fairly valued at the moment.
The SoFi app has improved a lot too. I love that 4.60% interest that they are paying on their savings account
SOFI is a SPAC. Visa and JPM will eat SOFI
this one will be forgot by all those angry investors.
open door
Clover
I can only say never ever trust them. For those who have business deal experience with them, you know these people are cunning.
great job. Thoughtful video. thank you.
as a Sri Lankan, we are also ashamed of him. he just a dude who survived in Canada by applying refugee visa.
You are a very good UA-camr.
As soon as he called him self the next warren buffet when he only invested into iPos and high growth high risk assets...I knew he was full of crap
I originally looked into buying Galactic. It really didn't take much looking into their prospectus and quarterly reports to figure out they would likely never be profitable. That being said, I also bought into Palintar when it was above $25 a share. Closed my position not long ago when it blipped up, licked my wounds, and put in an managed index fund. Now I don't check my portfolio every day.
Put half your money into an S&P index ETF like SPY & the other half in the Nasdaq 100 index (trades as QQQ) every time it drops, or just invest in it quarterly. It’s the top 100 companies in the tech-heavy nasdaq & has pretty much outperformed everything else for my entire lifetime. Tech isn’t going anywhere.
If you’re young, consider changing this allocation from 50/50 to like 25/75 in favor of QQQ
wow thank u for bringing this to light
He said sell around new years, plain and simple, he was right. But his flippant attitude around Solana dumping and laughing rubbed me the wrong way once it was revealed that it probably only pumped because Sam
using customer funds to pump it up
It’s a very bad idea to blindly listen to the folks who come on CNBC
Anytime a company or billionaire says that their idea "democratizes x" just know it's likely to be fool's gold. Remember Robinhood? Sold themselves as mediators to equalize the playing field for poor retail investors only to discover that they were in bed w the same people they were supposed to be against. Payment for order flow isn't evil in itself but does pose potential conflicts of interest and Robinhood didn't disclose this to their retail customers.
Sounds like a safe bet to buy puts in every SPAC that he announces at this point.
Honestly I’m with Chamath here. If you’re stupid enough to listen to anyone rather than actually taking initiative and handle YOUR OWN INVESTMENTS then you’ll forever lose money.
