Dan Ives: Why the AI Slowdown Fears Are Wrong

7 views · September 17th, 2026

The headlines this weekend were all about an AI slowdown. Dan Ives isn't buying it. He argues we're barely getting started, only a fraction of the way through trillions in AI spending, and the fear is just noise. He joins Evan at Future Proof to explain why he thinks we're still in the "third inning" of the AI buildout, why the US is ahead of China in tech for the first time in 30 years, how he separates real threats from scary narratives, and his take on the coming Anthropic IPO.

The Fed Is About to Make a Mistake (ft. Mark Newton from Tom Lee's Fundstrat)

46 views · September 16th, 2026

The bond market is demanding a rate hike, and Mark Newton of Fundstrat thinks trying to hike our way out of supply-driven inflation would be a serious mistake. He explains what the Fed should do instead. He joins Evan at Future Proof to break down why he'd let the economy run hot, why he thinks this inflation is temporary and not demand-driven, why the current setup reminds him of the mid-1990s "golden age," and how he's positioning into the midterm elections, historically one of the best buying windows in the entire four-year cycle. ▶ Follow Mark Newton: X: @MarkNewtonCMT ▶ Follow WOLF Financial: X: https://x.com/WOLF_Financial This content is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

Your savings lose value every year, and most assets barely keep up. Raoul Pal, macro veteran and co-founder of Real Vision, argues there are only two asset classes that actually pull ahead over time, and most people own neither. He joins Gav to break down the "debasement" of currency and why it quietly makes everyone poorer, which two asset classes he believes actually beat it, how AI and the "age of abundance" could reshape the economy, and what it all means for how you should think about money over the next decade.

How a Cash Crisis Turned Into a Bitcoin Empire (ft. Phong Le)

2 views · September 14th, 2026

In 2020, Strategy was a healthy billion-dollar software company with a problem: $600 million in cash that was quietly losing value as the Fed printed trillions. CEO Phong Le explains how solving that one problem turned the company into the largest corporate Bitcoin holder on the planet. He breaks down why they moved their treasury into Bitcoin to preserve value, the conviction behind the first move, how the market reacted, and how a defensive decision snowballed into one of the fastest-growing companies of the last six years.

From $15M to $850M: The Trading System Behind It (ft. Ross Haber)

30 views · September 13th, 2026

Ross Haber helped grow a fund from $15 million to $850 million alongside legendary investor William O'Neill. He breaks down the system behind it, and the hard-won lessons that actually separate winning traders from everyone else. He joins Gav to walk through his approach on live charts: how he modernized the CAN SLIM method into his "launch pad" setup, why he stopped chasing breakouts and started buying earlier, why managing risk matters far more than picking the right stock, and how he reads the current market (including memory, semis, and where he sees leadership forming).

Phong Le: We Hold 4% Of The Bitcoin In The World

3 views · September 11th, 2026

Phong Le describes the weight that comes with the position his company occupies, roughly $66 billion in capital and, by his account, four percent of all Bitcoin. As Bitcoin becomes more systemically important, he argues, so does the company holding that much of it. That's the reasoning behind the openness: hundreds of millions of people are exposed to the securities, and many have put retirement money and net worth into them. In his view anyone taking that risk should get transparency into leadership and strategy in both good times and bad.

Brian Feroldi: Why Big Stocks Are More Likely to 10x Than Small Ones

32 views · September 8th, 2026

Every investor is taught that small stocks have more room to run. Brian Feroldi came across data that flipped that belief on its head, and it changed how he invests. He joins Gav to break down the study that "broke his brain" (why a $100 billion company is far more likely to become a trillion-dollar company than a small cap is to 10x), what it means for how you build a portfolio, and the counterintuitive rule he follows when trimming: cull your losers, feed your winners.

The IT Guy Said No And It Made Him A Fortune

52 views · September 7th, 2026

In 2006 Gary Vaughan of Daily Stock Picks asked his new employer's IT department for an iPhone and got turned down. Then he asked a follow up question: how many new hires had asked for the same thing. The answer was every single one of them, all 40 that day. He took his $10,000 signing bonus and bought Apple stock instead of waiting for the company to catch up. He still holds it.

The best early-stage founders are shifting from software to the physical world, and robotics is where a growing share of them are heading. The team behind Robinhood Ventures Fund II explains why the next frontier is moving AI off the screen and into the real world.

The Signing Bonus That Became a Fortune (ft. Gary Vaughan, Daily Stock Picks)

Today that position is worth millions.

Eric Trump: The Hard Asset Guy Who Ended Up In Bitcoin

40 views · September 4th, 2026

Eric Trump spent his career in steel, drywall and concrete, the kind of assets you can walk through and touch, and says he never expected to end up advocating for something most people file as intangible. What changed it was seeing the physical side of mining up close through American Bitcoin, the 90,000 servers, the energy running through them, the real cost of securing the network. He now calls Bitcoin a compliment to hard physical assets rather than a departure from them.

Eric Trump: Name Anything Digitized That Hasn't Won

23 views · September 2nd, 2026

Eric Trump describes an approach built on conviction rather than precision, adding to positions on deep drawdowns while accepting that nobody catches the exact bottom. His reasoning rests on a pattern he says has never broken: name a technology that got digitized and then lost the long term race. Photography went from eight millimeter film to live streaming. The telephone went the same way. He argues Swift and traditional banking are the next in line, because something faster, cheaper and more transparent tends to win.
