This week, Avi sits down with Andrew Chanin, CEO of ProcureAM and founder of PureFunds, one of the best in the business at spotting narratives before the market catches on. We discuss how he launched HACK, the first cybersecurity ETF, just two weeks before the Sony breach, what it was really like market-making ETFs on the floor of the American Stock Exchange during the 2008 crisis, why the real edge is reading the documents nobody wants to read, the story behind the UFO space ETF, whether SpaceX is the only game in town after its IPO, the militarization of space and the new space race, and why companies staying private for so long is quietly reshaping the ETF model. Enjoy!

This week, we break down why the Fed and Treasury just moved to backstop the yen and what it signals about an increasingly state-controlled market. We discuss why you should only hold what the administration has "anointed," the quiet power grab away from the Fed and the end of forward guidance, why gold, silver, copper and palladium are ripping, why Druckenmiller says the single best trade is copper, whether crypto is finally worth buying again and why Robinhood is the best way to express it, why private wealth management is a scam, why the stock market now trades exactly like crypto did in 2021, and the rising socialist wave that could take your portfolio to the woodshed by 2028. Enjoy!

Recorded live at the Selini Summit, Avi sits down with Santiago Santos, founder of Inversion and one of the best-performing managers in crypto, who famously sold the top in 2021. We discuss how growing up in Mexico and consciously erasing his accent shaped his high-agency approach, why crypto matters far more outside the first world than inside it, why being "marginally delusional" is how outsiders win, the investor letter he just sent shutting down his own crypto thesis, why he pivoted to buying boring cash-flow businesses and treating technology as orthogonal, why he may be the only fund manager who refused to deploy capital he'd raised, the difference between wanting to make money and wanting to be right, and what he'd tell a 22-year-old to go deep on in the age of AI. Enjoy!

This week, we break down the biggest story in markets: the blowup of Leopold Aschenbrenner's Situational Awareness fund. We discuss whether Ken Griffin killed him or just showed up with the best bid, how an eleven-figure liquidation actually works behind the scenes, why going to the street to meet a margin call is like walking into a lion's den (and the Terra Luna call that proved it), whether the rate-hike comments were an orchestrated hit, why Avi is stepping into the memory dip now with Micron, Intel and SanDisk, the Korean "Squid Game" liquidation that wiped out millions of accounts, the real lesson of being dead right and broke, and the great Mag 7 split — why Apple, Google, and Meta are all underperforming for completely different reasons while Amazon keeps printing. Enjoy!

This week, Avi sits down with Alexander Good, founder of Post Fiat, former Palantir and essayist, for one of the most wide-ranging conversations we've had. We discuss how he built a trading edge by reading stocks through advertising data, the EA vs Booking pair trade, the "goldfish theory" of why attention is more predictable than the future, where the model breaks (and why it's happening to Michael Saylor right now), why he's bearish on Palantir as ontologies become less necessary, why AI won't make people useless but will take their jobs, his call that unemployment starts kicking in within three months, the Nintendo trade and the coming AI-and-IP goldmine, and his big thesis: that AI gets regulated and sequestered like nuclear tech in 1945, ending in a sovereign margin call rather than a productivity utopia. Enjoy!
