Gaming nerds are duelling hedge funds on the stock market battlefield. Everyone’s mother knows what a SPAC is. Stocks are now called Stonks and they can only go up. Friends you’ve once bored with investing talk are now calling you with their hot stock tips of the week. Spiffy pops are a daily occurrence and intelligent value investing is apparently dead. Is this whole new world of Bizarre here to stay, or could this time really be different? We're going to go out on a limb here and suggest that in reality, what we’re actually experiencing is the ‘2020's meme-stock/crypto bubble'.
The bubble phenomenon is age old and repetitious, so much so that it seems to be ingrained in the human condition. From Tulip Mania in the 1600’s, South Sea Bubble of the 1700’s, Railway Bubble of the 1800’s and take your pick from the bubbles of the 1900’s. Many bubbles have been and gone, lessons learnt by one generation and then forgotten by the next. The questions we ponder in this conversation are:
- What is a bubble and what are the signs were in one?
- How should you be investing in a bubble?
- How do you find investment opportunities in a bubble?
- How can you protect your capital?
- What lessons can we learn from the greatest investors in history?
- How did the best investors operate during bubbles?
- How can you hedge your portfolio against inflation risk?
- Sir Templeton took us off on a religion tangent from 34min onward...
