Top Episodes Quotes
- “What I care about is over the next five years, will stocks be higher or lower? It's really, really hard right now to make an argument that they're not going to be higher five years from now than they are today.“ by Anthony Pompliano
- “If the AI promise is real and these companies are actually able to produce as much productivity as they claim, there should be a lift in GDP. And if we get a lift in GDP, then we should actually have a bunch of advantages where our undisciplined monetary policy mistakes could be maybe not resolved, but the blow could be lessened.“ by Anthony Pompliano
- “If you look like the 25% annualized return for the S&P tech sector, some of that was under Trump and some of that was under Biden. And so it's just this element of, like, politics is a great intellectual exercise, but for your investment portfolio, not taxes, not wage growth, but just your investment portfolio, both of them, over the last eight years have been great.“ by Anthony Pompliano
