A short musing about the most tectonic shift you will experience in a century @MrEBITDA Support the show

In today's episode, Alex and Shimon discuss the recent Robinhood fiasco. For the first time since either of us can remember, mainstream stock trading apps let people sell stocks but not buy the same stock. This happened because of a huge short position that a hedge fund had and a horde of retail reddit investors who went against it in order to short squeeze the trade. What happened next will...

Today, I -@MrEBITDA - want to muse about the rise of the retail investor. These younger (typically) investors are value driven and care about companies. They are also enabled by apps such as Robinhood and are out to show strength against Wall Street and the "Elites".  They have become a force to be reckoned with - as evidenced by the recent Game Stop fiasco. But what does this mean for y...

In this musing, Shimon discusses how to pick the "fastest horse in the race" in an environment where the government is expected to spend $3T in stimulus and print money at 15% y/y. Should we choose industries that benefit from the new money, or should we choose industries where less government intervention is expected.
