Ideas
Donald Trump President of the United States 2:21
Oil will drop significantly.
With the Strait of Hormuz reopening and oil tankers flowing freely, President Trump predicts a sharp drop in oil prices, believing the supply surge will drive prices very low.
Seth Klarman Value Investor, Baupost Group 35:32
SpaceX overvalued, frothy IPO market.
SpaceX is an unprofitable company with an enormous valuation that likely marks a market top. The flood of IPOs and private-company shares waiting to be sold, combined with massive capital demand from AI and other sectors, creates a supply-demand imbalance that will pressure stock prices. Investors are missing how much money is being sucked out of the system, so he is accumulating more cash as opportunities dry up.
