Billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya sat down with Bloomberg on Friday to discuss everything from Warren Buffett to cryptocurrencies in a whirlwind interview.

As a leader in the ongoing SPAC surge and Reddit trader movement, the founder of the VC firm Social Capital has been the talk of the markets lately.

Palihapitiya fashions himself as a figurehead of the times, arguing that titans like Warren Buffett no longer have the energy nor the lexicon to lead the markets as they have for decades.

His thoughtful critiques of market trends, issues, and participants have made him a regular on all the major market news networks. But it's Palihapitiya's modern takes and social media prowess that have allowed him to connect with the general public, growing his fame.

To learn a little bit more about what the billionaire former Facebook man has to say about all things markets, we've put together the top 10 quotes from his interview on Friday.

On Warren Buffett:
1. "Nobody's going to listen to Buffett. Buffett doesn't have the energy to say what he said 30 and 40 years ago in 2021. And that's OK, he's basically earned the right to chill out and be the GOAT, but there have to be some other folks that take that mantle, take the baton and do it as well to this younger generation in the language they understand."

Read more: I was addicted to Robinhood and Wall Street Bets. I spiraled out of control, wiped out my $70,000 savings, and contemplated suicide. Here's my message to Robinhood and new investors.

On Twitter being his preferred platform
2. "I am is a byproduct of my generation and media culture, which is faceted. Not always great facets, but multifaceted. And so you have to speak in the language of the times in order to get your point across."

On the GameStop saga, hedge funds, and short-selling:
3. "I doubt that, in the end, in the final analysis, that there was any collusion of any kind. But just the stench of this whole thing just goes to show you how difficult it is for normal everyday folks to have access to any kind of return. So if we break down the capitalist philosophy, they are just fundamentally stuck in this cul-de-sac of always being labor. And always being sort of at the ownership of capital, of the ownership class."


4. "I still think hedge funds will do well. I still think that there are some folks who are incredibly talented who will make just a ton of money for themselves and their investors. But I think disclosure needs to go up."

5. "In terms of short-selling, I buy the fact that it's an important part of the market. I'm not a huge fan of it. I do think that certain folks really use it to run a neutral strategy, and ya know, I think that that's great. But I also think that now, in the world of social media, and we've seen this recently, disinformation can be used to not just cause political damage, but disinformation can also cause economic damage. And so, I think that the SEC is going to have to deal with that issue and figure that out."

On SPACs
6. "I think that SPACs are very much here to stay. Using the language of inequality, it evens the playing field. It democratizes access to high growth companies. How? Because it allows retail and it allows long-tail institutional investors. Folks that might not have necessarily been tier one hedge funds, now they can also play."

7. "When I used to manage institutional capital in early-stage investing, I charged a 30% carry, no hurdle, no nothing. And people were willing to be that I could generate returns, and I have, you know, 30-plus percent over the last decade, that justified a 30% carry. Similarly, here on the deals that I do, I take a 20% carry. And I think that I can find targets and opportunities that will make that more than reasonable in the final analysis."

On cryptocurrencies
8. "I am building a fairly sizeable portfolio of what are called NFTs, non-fungible tokens, some digital art, some virtual trading cards, and these may sound crazy to some, but I do think that that's the next frontier of digital currency and digital assets. So I have been building a portfolio."

On a big tech breakup
9. "Well, I think they need to get regulated. I think that companies like Facebook and Google will be subject to much stricter laws. Section 230 will change and recognize them as quasi-publishers."

10. "For Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon, I don't think much is going to happen. The reason is because I think that those guys are generally on the right side of history, and they generally don't err towards the type of hot button issues that politicians care about. Facebook and Google threaten the institutionalized structures of power and influence that codify politics. Amazon Prime doesn't do that."
 
Well Gotdammit...Post it faster and sooner anad make it bold in RED..

It just isn’t President’s day but usually every banking holiday. The worst is usually the end of the year and when you have the combination of banking and federal holidays. (e.g. Thanksgiving and Christmas)

Hubris always end well. Asshole raised on government giving him money he really believes he’s smart. Time always does people like that in.
 
red on Tuesday


On the fifth day of former president Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, the Senate reached a deal to skip witness testimony, suggesting the trial will conclude on Saturday. On Friday, both House managers and Donald Trump’s legal team fielded questions from Senators after the former president’s defense team presented its case on his role in the January 6 assault on the US Capitol building. House impeachment managers presented their arguments against Trump on Wednesday and Thursday. Trump is expected to be acquitted, according to several reports.
 
$SQ is my #3 fintech play for growth + value (which is what is carrying ARK)

but HUMBL is what has made the commas. Still can’t believe I’m the only brotha talking about it but I guess because the Neanderthals didn’t mention it, it just gets ignored. :hmm::roflmao3:

when people say do your due diligence this is how you spin straw into gold. Be a relentless researcher and you can do it too.

happy Aboriginal American History Month!

(and yes I know the agents are in here but I don’t mind anymore because the more they buy the more $ for me and mine :lol:)

Brah, Why you gotta be like that? Did you consider no one else may have been talking about it because no one else really knows or has researched it as you have and therefore didn't bring it to the forum? I certainly have never heard of it until you just mentioned it and i thank you for that!
 
robinhood is really letting guys borrow 100k to trade?

no way this shit ends well



WTF? I don't do margins on RH. But i gotta assume it's like any other broker with margin availablity. You gotta have a certain amount of cash for them to match it. I'd like to think for 100K you have to have at minimum 50K cash in your account.

I do but I do on low volatility plays, no options. For example they charge you 2.5% on 100k for the year.... If that 100k makes you 10% you pretty much made 7k off nothing. Yes they have a limit on the cash you have to have in your account. Wont front off what Ive borrowed Ive made like 4k this year. Already.

Wait, What? So you're saying you can actually borrow 100K from them while having an account with less than 20K cash??

It is an OTC stock, most ppl don't trade in that market.
Ppl should also pay attention, the stock ticker is $TSNP and eventually will change to $HUMBL.
I read somewhere ppl are buying $HUML.
 
Im telling brothers.... This one is up 7%....... THIS week.... 21% the last month. I dumped too much money into a couple of others ETFs but this one here.... This joint may double up your money in 10 months.
I think SMH will take off as well, but I would just grab TSM instead of the ETF as I already have AMD.

What's your forecast price for $SQ next year this time?
If you want to look at SQ options, you should be looking at jan 22 call $332-$369. This has a 10% correction built in already. You would want to sell a year long contract around month 9 or 10 to avoid theta an get out before everybody else does.
 
This will be a Colin approved post.



Why the sudden interest ? @tical :)

Only got Lex van Dam & ITPM.
The ITPM course is better by a frogs hair but get both.
They go in on Fundamental + technical Analysis, Idea Generation, Volatility, Correlations, money management (kelly criterion) , Riskmanagement, Psychology, Macro Economics, Spread trading, Long / Short portofolio etc......basically a trading process like a hedge fund without the need of a Bloomberg terminal. IMO a perfect course for a beginner.

It changed my perception of the Economy, the way I listen to news, made me aware of things.
As always, this isn’t one of those “get rich quick” courses that promise you a fortune for doing nothing.
You get out what you put in.

Sidenote
Funny how all those guys (Lex, Anton , Raoul Pal ) used to work for Goldman Sachs
I think Anton got the idea of starting a trading academy from Lex after doing this show (3 episode).


When you watch you'll get glimpse of how the course is going the be.
Understand that they were trading in the middle of 2007 (GFC) and some of the participants made money.


Still here. Back in the day it seemed like people didn't understand what I posted.
I'm glad options have been embraced by BGOL.


Made good money in the 1st half of 2020 poured that in stock portofolio but 2nd half 2020 I got hammered a couple of times selling premium.
Looking back the option money that I made was more because I assessed the market correctly using only vertical spreads or ironcondor ( 1 trick pony). When the market changes you have to adjust as well. I don't know how to do that consistently.
That's why I'm trying to upgrade my option knowledge (hedging, synthetics, adjusting positions at what price, skew etc.. ) and how to apply.
Cause now I have a portofolio of MSFT, URW, AAPL, BIP, F, T, SAND, Heineken, UL, and I want to protect it.

So as mentioned in another post I found a new option guru Charles Cottle aka the Riskdoctor. He's legit.
This simple question from his book made me realise that I only know the basics of options.



The book Options Trading; The Hidden Reality (2006) can be found on pdfdrive.com.
I cannot find his 10GB video course for download for free (perhaps BGOL can), so I bought only his 201 + RD2 part from this website for cheap.
It's intensive. I need to brush on certain concepts and my algebra :lol:


nuff respeck. i remember you posting beaucoup notes on options trading...and i wasn't trading options then. i did not want to be bothered with it, didnt know what the big deal was about...until i tried it, then i got hooked.
 
Wait, What? So you're saying you can actually borrow 100K from them while having an account with less than 20K cash??
Nooooo

You your margin is pretty much what you have in there. So I think I have 50k in they let me borrow 50k, but it also depends on what you are investing it in. So I took some and through in VGT. So lets say I had 10k worth of VGT they let me buy another 10k based off what I already had purchased. Honestly when I figured out I could go low risk and I mean these ETFs doing 10-20-30-40% it was a no brainer. That 50k is now 60k and I still owe them 50k.... ;)

That being said they can call Margin and make you sell if that stock or whatever you have starts tanking. Hence why I do low risk decent return products.


I think SMH will take off as well, but I would just grab TSM instead of the ETF as I already have AMD.


If you want to look at SQ options, you should be looking at jan 22 call $332-$369. This has a 10% correction built in already. You would want to sell a year long contract around month 9 or 10 to avoid theta an get out before everybody else does.

Ill have to look at those. but like I posted some time ago about SQ there are some things that just cant miss....

I read somewhere ppl are buying $HUML.

It's the exact reason why that type of informaton should be posted in this thread. There's alot to learn about the market as a whole and as you've pointed out there are stocks that trade outside of the big 3 exchanges.

So it sounds like people are confusing $HUML with the pendng $HUMBL ticker. Thanks for clarifying and sharing.

that’s what I’m waiting on before I start to unload my position. From $0.0005 to $5 in less than 6 months. And when it hits $5 the hedge funds will start to buy it up.

@SmaLLz

This ETF is FINTECH - so think digital money transfer. Right now 90% of my money comes this way as a small business, Its the future but it is now..

Not sure why Im not getting updates, but Im pulling back from options, there are some booming stocks and etfs that have less risk and damn near same return over the year


OHHhhhhhhhh ARK ETFS are completely transparent, if you go sign up on their website they will send you their daily trades. Chick name is Cathie Woods, white chick is brilliant. Get in asap fellas


I got some, ticker is FTFT up $2.09, holding for a pump!
 
My investing guru's i have a rather dumb question i've always been curious about and want to know if you have the answer.

In general companies issue stocks to raise capital for their businesses(Fund new product line, R&D etc).

So the question becomes with market prices changing frequently and effecting their market cap (Shares outstanding times share price). How can they reliable count on the $$$ they're getting from the market?

I'm assuming they have an operating range from the market and internally supplement the difference with their own money?

Any idea how that works?

Good question.

They use it as collateral to sell off the majority of the company shares that they own.
This explains it better than I can:

The company still owns more shares, and can sell them on the open market at the higher price to new investors. The company gets the new investor money, and the new investor gets shares. The company doesn't get any money when two private investors buy or sell shares to each other, but they do get advantage as the stock price goes up.

The company can keep the shares. Those shares have an increased market value, so the total value of the company's assets is increased. This increased "valuation" could get them loans at a better rate, and the shares can be used for collateral.
