Is Chamath the New Warren Buffett?
Join Downtown Josh Brown and Michael Batnick for another round of What Are Your Thoughts? On this week's episode, Josh and Michael discuss the biggest topics in investing and finance, including:
► Bitcoin's Blow-Off Top - the crypto asset lost a quarter of its value in one night, what's up?
► The new Tesla bull case - BofA literally says the stock is going up because the stock is going up. Seriously.
► Bad Habits - What's the worst habit from the pandemic year that you're going to lose this year?
► Howard Marks's new memo - legendary value investor discovers the answer to why growth has outperformed and will continue to.
► Venture Capitalism vs Private Equity - Which will be a bigger disappointment for investors in the new decade?
► Micro Bubbles - They are everywhere, even if the overall market isn't in a bubble.
► Is Chamath the new Warren Buffett - Josh says yes, maybe.
► Investing in Collectibles - Should you be speculating in shares of a baseball card or someone else's Porsche just because interest rates are low?
And much more!

This is so far off. It's not 20% ... Its 40-55%... And they're not Nazis it's common conservatives. No one. No one has a problem with taking Nazis off the platform, however when you label everyone a Nazi - then it loses all meaning.

No-one is disputing removing Neo-Nazi's from social media, but they only represent a small fraction of a percent of Trump's support base. Getting away with removing Trump is saying social media platforms are more powerful than the elected president of the USA.

I need to read Something of Value given what you have just said Howard Marks said. Fascinating that he has also had the benefit of being close up with his son (Growth Investor) if I understood Michael correctly that that would have informed the piece he wrote. Observation is the best way to learn for me, when I have opened up my mind to possibilities

i like your show guys but Chamath and Cathy Wood the new Warren Buffet? seriously? OMG it's amazing how the endless Fed printing creates so many geniuses. what you failed to mention is that Buffet invests in companies whose underlying business generates profits. i have yet to see one company that those two prophets preach that is actually generating those kind of profits. I understand that as long as the music plays you gotta dance but Buffett? really? Watch how fast all these prophets disappear with a rise in inflation and rates... would you rather make 5% in a savings account or hold useless crypto. And Josh: how do you find bitcoin of value but buying digital shares in a collectible trash. Aren't they both the same - aka nothing of intrinsic value?

Just some feedback on Twitter: while obviously the political crap is horribly negative, I would like to say that there are benign parts of Twitter. I am a pretty major anime Twitter user and have 250k followers. I share images and memes related to anime, market my company (an anime retailer), and basically hook up anime fans with new anime to watch. There's no negativity, everyone enjoyed being together and commenting on each other's posts, and it's quite good. I even help anime fans (there are some sad people in anime land) who have given up on real human relationships feel better about giving it another try. I also think Fin-twitter is also quite positive. Unless you really pick the craziest people to follow, there's a lot of positivity to enjoy.

I like your show but I think you guys are way off based on blaming social media for what happened in DC. While I don't share their political beliefs, to call them Nazis is over the top and inaccurate and only adds fuel to the fire. 40 years of a diminishing middle class creates frustration that neither of you can understand. You are living in a bubble. The donor class fund our elections and those elected work for those that fund them. The best ROI is money paid to lobbyist. This has created a wealth gap that has not been seen since the gilded age. We live in a system of legalized bribery and only when that is addressed will we have a government that works for everyone.

The true test for Chamath's portfolio will be when we go through a credit contraction. Many of his companies are high growth but run losses - Buffett looks at profitability and excess liquidity to make sure they can survive such periods. Buffett also looks closely at the capital intensity of growth, I haven't seen Chamath reference that in his work yet. Quite a large difference in their investment methods but I love Chamath's vision, it just needs to also excel in the long credit contractions that are sure to come.

Yes Chamath is an really interesting & insightful guy with great investment opportunities (I'm in several) BUT he's much more of an egomaniac than Buffet ever was-so let's not put them together ok?

I personally don't think the top is in yet for Bitcoin, didn't feel like a blow-off top compared to June 27th 2019 which was a straight vertical blow-off top day, pumped 22% in 1 day with that euphoric feel along with half of crypto twitter looking at Lambo colour charts and that 22% pump in a day was higher than anything leading up to that point since the breakout in April 2019. Then it crashed about 20% the very next day. Since the breakout in April 2020 after the covid reversal in March - I don't think there's been a 20% pump or more in 1 day, so I bought the dip.

Also funny how a horse at a carnival could tell you that a 10 P/E is lower than a 40 P/E then they say that Private Equity will do poorly because of high multiples.

Experts trying to predict the future of stocks and valuation metrics just seems impossible even for the best of the best. People get so caught up in capital gains but when you start to focus on compounding interest through dividend stocks or index funds you start to sleep alot better regardless of markets going up or down

Everybody is a genius in bull markets. Don't forget that this has been an incredible 10+ year long bull market. I love Chamath and Cathie Wood, but Warren has an immaculate track record for over 50 years, seeing times when markets were flat for more than a decade. I'd love to see these how these new investors perform even on short lasting bear markets, if that ever happens.

the JB comment about how the tesla analyst call means that "every stock that goes up should technically then be able to keep rising as they put more money to work" just doesnt work though, it works for tesla because they have proven to have such amazing scalability and efficiency and expanding their production, building these pre-fab factories and consistently bringing their prices down. If you throw more money at most business they would just squander it or sit on it or pay a dividend. Tesla raise cash and then within weeks there is talk of new factory sites and months later production starts, its insane. How many times do you see a company raise cash and then 3 years later they have done literally nothing if note in relation to it.
