Ideas
China will lead global AI.
AI will be the dominant future industry, but China is positioned to lead the world because its manufacturing and export base is far stronger than the US's, while US capital increasingly favors war spending over productive growth.
AI bubble will burst.
The AI sector is way overvalued, with roughly 50% of 2025 US GDP coming from AI spending and many AI companies other than Nvidia deep in debt; he expects a dot-com-style bust and huge failures.
AI bust will crash equities.
The coming AI dot-com bust will crash the equity markets.
Office bust will sink banks.
The office building bust will bring down banks as they go bust.
Weak dollar lifts gold.
The Fed is cutting rates, Trump wants a weaker dollar, and the dollar's reserve-currency status is ending as BRICS represent 40% of world GDP and foreign nations resent US hegemony; the deeper the dollar falls, the higher gold prices go.

Defense spending lifts defense stocks.
The US, Germany, and Europe are all increasing defense budgets, which enriches the military-industrial complex and is already lifting defense stocks, even though it does not build broad economic growth.
Gold has hit a flexure point.
Gold has reached a flexure point because central banks, especially China, are accumulating it after Russia's assets were seized, crypto and Tether are buying it, and investors are seeking debt-free, portable hard assets as US and European debt and unfunded liabilities grow; a small shift from Treasuries into gold could have an outsized impact.
Gold miners offer leveraged upside.
Gold miners with long-life mines can deploy capital into a rising gold market, and if even a few percent of the hundreds of trillions in US and European Treasuries moves into gold, the entire gold-mining sector's value could double.
AI buildout needs key commodities.
Building out AI and data centers requires massive power and construction, driving demand for copper, aluminum, and rare earths in large amounts.
Long-term bonds are risky.
Long-term bonds are risky because the US will pass $40 trillion in debt, deficits remain large, bond supply is enormous, Western Europe or China could retaliate by selling, and investors have no reason to lend the US government 10-year money at 4.3%; Japan and the UK already show warning signs.
Fiscal risk supports precious metals.
Smart money is concerned about the fiscal solvency of the US and other Western countries, and that concern is already reflected in precious metals; when the Fed returns to money printing, investors will need protection.
Stay defensive and cash-heavy.
At major inflection points, investors should be nimble, defensive, and cash-heavy while still taking asymmetric risks, with attention to sizing, probability, and timing.
AI remains a long-term buy.
AI is a long-term secular trend that could be bigger than the internet and potentially larger than any previous human revolution; AI stocks may sell off 30-50% and CapEx may take a hit, but the long-term opportunity remains.
Energy is relatively attractive.
Energy is one of the more attractive sectors on relative valuation, with valuations still near median levels compared with most other sectors.
Natural gas beats nuclear.
Natural gas is preferable to nuclear because it is green, abundant, cheap, and can be brought online quickly, while nuclear could reverse in three years and may have no new power plants; natural gas is the only long-term solution for the energy crisis.
