After another blowout quarter by $NVDA, the AI narrative is in full swing again.
But is there still money to be made here?
How will NVDA and the AI market fare if the economy slows down?
And what can we expect from the US economy and stock market in 2024?
I discussed all this with Amrita Roy, who is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to macro and technology.
I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation, and hope you will too.

My guest today is George Robertson, who comes on for a second time to follow up on the ideas he shared with us three months ago. After closing in on 5000 SPX, much like he predicted, the question now is; what next?
George takes a simple idea, the unprecedented amount of fiscal stimulus, and uses this to develop a robust and complex investment thesis.
Today, we talked about GDP, fiscal stimulus, the Fed, monetary policy, politics and the role of the US and US dollar. George is incredibly knowledgeable and a must-follow in the investment space:

After finding Gary’s podcast, I thought it would be a great idea to bring him on to talk to us about his investment style, general market outlook and the tools he uses daily as a trader/investor.
Gary is very knowledgeable when it comes to technical analysis, which he complements with fundamentals.
He has a really practical approach and is really good at understanding how to manage a portfolio in a simple yet effective way. I especially enjoyed talking about the tools he uses daily, such as SA and Trendspider.

My guest today is Ben, from @morecryptoonline. He is a fellow Elliott Wave analyst and crypto investor.
A lot has happened since our last chat about Bitcoin, with the world's first cryptocurrency breaking past $40,000.
Is this a new bull market? How high can Bitcoin go? What are the best altcoins to invest in?
These are only a few of the questions we covered today.
I always enjoy talking to Ben. His command of EWT is unparalleled, and he is also great at laying out the theory and levels in a way that traders and investors can actually implement.

Kevin Erdmannis the author behind the Erdmann Housing Tracker. He is also the author of Building from the Ground Up: Reclaiming the American Housing Boom and Shut Out: How a Housing Shortage Caused the Great Recession and Crippled Our Economy
I stumbled onto Kevin’s substack and was quickly captivated by his unique views on the Fed and housing.
In this conversation, we talked about the role of housing and real estate in the economy. How this affect the business cycle and, most importantly, what the underlying secular trends driving housing are.
Kevin believes there is a secular shortage of housing in the US, which will support continued price appreciation.
So how do we profit from this?
That’s exactly what we discussed in the last quarter of the interview, and Kevin went into great depth as to how investors can benefit in the coming years, even dropping some specific names

My guest today is Mike Fay, better known as the Heretic Speculator.
With the altcoin market starting to show signs of life, I thought this would be a great chance to get Mike on the show since he is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to crypto.
We jumped straight into it, and I got Mike to share his thoughts on some specific cryptocurrencies.
We then talked about the general crypto market, the regulatory environment, stocks, NVIDIA, and we ended with some politics just for good measure.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to The Pragmatic Investor.
My guest today is Amrita Roy, a fellow substack author, macro enthusiast and like-minded Pragmatist.
Today, we had a great conversation about the outlook for the US economy.
Starting with the big picture, Amrita tells us how the fiscal and monetary policies of the last ten years have led us to the predicament we find ourselves in today.
We then dive into how things could play out in terms of inflation, rates and what this means for stocks.
From the macro to the micro, we covered employment, the health of the US consumer, the recent earnings and emerging trends in tech and AI.
To wrap up, we discussed possible scenarios for 2024 and discussed ways investors can position themselves for the coming year.
I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Amrita, and I’m sure you will, too.

My guest today is Kashyap Sriram. We had the pleasure of speaking a few weeks ago when his thread on the NVIDIA earnings went viral. Today, we got to revise this short thesis on NVDA, but we also covered A LOT more.
We discussed the macro outlook for the US, the implications of war for investors, inflation, rates, monetary policy, gold Bitcoin and Austrian economics.
I really enjoyed this conversation with Kashyap and I felt like I really got a good understanding of what his process is as an investor.

My guest today is George Robertson, a seasoned investor with plenty of experience in the industry.
Everyone is concerned that higher rates will break stocks, but not George. The way he sees it, both rates and stocks will climb together, as they are a sign that NGDP will come in strong.
The way George sees it, we could be at the beginning of a speculative phase, which will eventually turn into an all-out "Ponzi".
As always, I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

How can EWT improve your trading and help manage risk?
We also went in-depth about trading and investing in cryptocurrencies, which is Ben’s area of expertise.

TPR knows chip companies with incredible detail, which is why he came on today to discuss the Arm IPO.
ARM sits at the heart of almost all chip manufacturing, which is why this IPO is incredibly important.
But should investors buy ARM and what does this mean for other chip companies?
All this and more were discussed in the interview.

My Guest Today Is Kashyap Sriram. He is a fellow investor and content creator who recently went viral after posting a Twitter thread on NVIDIA.
In the thread, he exposed some anomalies in NVIDIA’s earnings and share repurchases.
Specifically, it seems quite clear now that the earnings beat was only possible thanks to nearly $3 billion in revenue, which the company has recognized but not been paid for yet.
This comes at a time when the relationship between NVIDIA and CoreWeave is also being scrutinized.
* Is NVIDIA guilty of something illegal here?
* Does the company face a risk of impairment loss in the future?
* How can investors profit from this situation?
We covered all this and more in the 1-hour interview.
I really enjoyed this conversation and hope you will, too!

My guest today is Mike Zaccardi, a fellow financial writer and chart lover. We had a great conversation today about the outlook for markets as we enter what is historically the worst month for stocks. We began by discussing the recent JOLTS data and the outlook for rates and inflation. We then moved into a discussion on China and Japan, which have been making headlines in the past few weeks.
Is there a chance of a market crash? What are the key levels to look out for in the S&P 500?
Mike runs us through all this and also what he sees as the best sectors of the economy to get into right now. We even got the chance to discuss select stocks, like NVIDIA and one of Mike's favourite "agricultural commodity plays". All in all, it was a great conversation filled with great insights.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did, and don't forget to like, share and subscribe. It really makes my day!
