    1. Agree with this approach 100 percent. When you think about the nature of this money, and the nature of where on the curve excesses entered the market, that nature does not make money. That money loses over time. Do not buy expensive markets in this type of macro set up.

    2. On the Reddit Gamestop short squeeze: "This famous hedge fund trader who's all Mr. Smarty Billionaire Genius Guy – and he got ripped by these retail traders. It was beautiful."

      I love this guy. Bring him on again!

    3. It depends. There are some stocks doing very very well over the past 12 months.
      You gotta do your homework, but they definitely exist. ENPH CELH LNG CVX VLO NTR XOM and many more…

    4. Over the last 200 years the stock market has been the strongest performer by a huge amount compared to all other asset classes . The only people not to benefit / make money are those that try to time a top/ bottom, or sell due to bad advice and fear! It is and always has been a long game , there is a reason why the rich don't sell and only borrow off of their assets .

    5. David conducts great interviews and asks great questions. However, this time around I noticed a key question was missed(for the sake of some of us less saavy traders/investors) and that was how exactly Jason determines and applies 'market participation and market action' as his main contrarian indicator. Maybe I'm just too ignorant, but if someone knows, please do chime in. Short of that detail, one of the best! Thanks to all involved.

    6. We made this video based on this guy's hunch. Not saying he's gonna be wrong, but he even acknowledges he's operating on a hunch.
