What Avi's Betting on Outside of Crypto
TL;DR
- The episode's core is Avi Felman's full portfolio walkthrough: NASDAQ and S&P index as the base, plus HOOD as a bet on "the increase of gambling culture around the world" — revenues keep growing and a coming social feed "is going to bring people in for gambling. Huge."
- Gold and silver are "no-brainers" on a 5-year view: the world is fracturing, the dollar is down a huge amount against other currencies this year, and "a dollar dependent world is just not true anymore." The kicker stat — gold warehoused in Shanghai has 7x'd in the last year, and buying here means "front running the biggest DAT in the world, which is the central banks accumulating gold." Silver catches the bleed-over.
- Super bullish uranium via URA: as free trade breaks down, leaders conclude they can't rely on Russian or Kazakh oil and "nuclear power is the best way" to energy independence. The politics that held it back are flipping — Canada and Germany "changing the tune" — so the advice is to "buy and stockpile as much uranium as you possibly can right now" because it'll last forever.
- Jonah Van Bourg adds that renewable energies are "going through the roof because of this"; Avi Felman agrees, "mainly on the uranium part," and says "it's a changing in politics."
- Long Tesla as the only public robotics play: "every other robotics company is private" — Tesla will be "the leader in terms of robotics in the future," so people are "going to crowd Tesla again."
Digest · the substance, structured for research
1. The book: index beta plus a gambling-culture bet
- Avi Felman's portfolio: "just NASDAQ, S&P," plus HOOD — "revenues continue to grow," and a social feed launch "is going to bring people in for gambling. Huge."
2. Gold is "front running the biggest DAT in the world"
- The 5-year case: a fracturing world, the dollar down hugely against other currencies this year, the US "doesn't want to be a leader anymore" — "a dollar dependent world is just not true anymore."
- The specimen stat: gold warehoused in Shanghai has 7x'd in the last year; buying gold means "you're basically front running the biggest DAT in the world," which is "the central banks accumulating gold," and "that's going to bleed over to silver."
3. Uranium: politics is the catalyst, URA is the vehicle
- "One, dude, just look at the chart" — but the real driver: when free trade breaks down, nuclear power is "the best way" to achieve energy independence, especially for countries that don't necessarily have direct access to other resources. Canada and Germany are "changing the tune." The advice is to "buy and stockpile as much uranium as you possibly can right now" because it'll last forever.
- Jonah Van Bourg adds that renewable energies are "going through the roof because of this"; Avi Felman concurs, narrowly: "I think so too — mainly on the uranium part. I think it's a changing in politics."
4. Tesla because everything else is private
- "It's the robotics play" — no other public company offers access to the robotics revolution, and Tesla will be "the leader in terms of robotics in the future"; "people are going to crowd Tesla again" because every other robotics company is private.
