    The ETF Pioneer Who Calls Narratives Before Wall Street

    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.

    Ex-Palantir Analyst On The Inner Workings Of Intelligence & Markets In A World Of Socialism

    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.

    The Citadel Alum Reshaping The World Of Trading

    This week, Avi sits down with Vlad Novakovski, founder and CEO of Lighter, the on-chain exchange partnered with Robinhood. Vlad went to high school with Robinhood's Vlad Tenev, competed in the Physics and Informatics Olympiads alongside future Anthropic co-founders and Facebook's first CTO, finished Harvard at 19, and was recruited to Citadel by Ken Griffin himself. We discuss the Olympiad pipeline that produced half of Silicon Valley, what Ken Griffin told him about Bernie Madoff in 2004, why Madoff couldn't have happened on-chain, why he left Wall Street for Silicon Valley and then came back, how he pivoted his company and kept 80% of his engineering team, the custom ZK circuits that let Lighter run finance at 1% of the compute cost, why he thinks Lighter beats Hyperliquid on every axis, the Robinhood partnership and onchain options coming in Q3, and why every dollar of value at Lighter accrues to the token instead of the equity.

    Are The AI Labs Getting Nationalized?

    Avi sits down with Ari Paul. His former boss, founder of BlockTower Capital, and one of the sharpest minds in crypto, for a wide-ranging conversation on what's next. We discuss why crypto was the easiest table in finance and why that edge is gone, why the best people left crypto for AI, why Ari believes "Mythos is a military project" and the labs are heading for a Los Alamos-style lockdown, why the AI data center boom rhymes with the 1990s fiber bubble, where AI value actually accrues (why you might short Accenture but not Visa), why one person with an LLM can now do the work of a whole team, how Ari is using LLMs and neuromodulation to hack his own health, and why we may be at peak chaos in the Fourth Turning.

    Who's Coming For The Market In Q3?

    This week, with portfolios sitting at all-time highs after the best NASDAQ quarter since 2020, we ask who's coming for the market in Q3? We deep dive into why that gut feeling means it's time to rotate not sell, the fundamentals vs flows debate and why sell-side analysts are structurally guaranteed to keep underpricing AI demand, why Micron at 7.5x forward earnings still isn't a bubble, why a strengthening dollar is the real threat to your assets, why Bitcoin has been co-opted by Wall Street and how to walk out of the crypto cage, the HOOD trade and taking profits like a CTA, the megatrends hiding beyond AI in real estate and collectibles, and the best career advice for the AI era: find your niche.

    AI Cracks: Where Do You Hide?

    This week, with NASDAQ down 3% and the AI trade showing cracks, we discuss where you actually hide. We deep dive into when technical analysis actually works, why you have to ask "how did you make your money" to understand the AI trade, why the answer is hiding downstream where AI changes the real economy, the 13-year-old's portfolio and whether the top is in, why the memory trade still isn't saturated, the socialism trade and what a 2028 blue wave means for your assets, why Bitcoin and everything without revenue is cooked, why the coming Saylor blowup will be the trade of a lifetime, and the Avi vs Jonah debate on whether you should actually buy AI biotech.

    SpaceX Over, Fed Meeting Done, What’s Next?

    In a short solo Juneteenth stream, Avi breaks down what's next now that the SpaceX IPO and the Fed meeting are behind us. We discuss why the market shrugged off a hawkish Warsh presser, why Mag 7 is lagging the semis it's funding, why layoffs are actually bullish, why inflation is showing up everywhere from a $14 smoothie to the struggling bottom half, why Michael Saylor using ChatGPT to structure STRC is a problem, why the Iran deal was a win for Iran, and the two megatrends to spend your weekend researching: AI-powered biotech and the coming nuclear revolution.

    Is Robotics The Next Megabubble?

    Today, Avi sits down with Andrew Kang (@Rewkang), founder and CEO of RoboStrategy (Nasdaq: BOT), to discuss why robotics and physical AI are the next $10 trillion mega bubble. We deep dive into why the entire private robotics market is smaller than Pokémon trading cards, why VCs are pivoting from software to physical AI, the GPT-3 moment for robotics and why GPT-5-level capabilities are less than two years away, why you can't just hook Claude up to a robot, how Andrew built the "MicroStrategy of Robotics," and rapid fire pitches on companies in the RoboStrategy portfolio: Figure AI, Apptronik, Standard Bots, Dyna Robotics, and Dexmate.
