This guy is very smart. Good move politically too, he apparently is going to run

He would have my vote for Gov of CA! But Newsome ran me out already.

Scott Wapner: "I don't want to sound disparaging." Proceeds to disparage.

I like how the interviewer said “I’m happy these retail investors are making money.” Chamath said “let’s be honest - no

1/27/21 7:55pm

Yeah, I loved that part. He called Scott on his lies a few times.

And it's a joke tha his whole argument is that little guys are going to get hurt

IrishBlue

1/27/21 7:52pm

agreed, he wants a warning that someone may lose their money. But hedge funds

When Scott was saying that I kept thinking, are you kidding me? People buying

I think the host has a point. When this hits a wall and goes the other way

Good interview. The CNBC guy is incredibly annoying.

Well he makes some good points that Chamath mostly avoids answering.

Scott kept asking Chamath to address how the GME fundamentals don’t match the

That Chamath is one smart dude. No idea what he’s talking about half the time

“Retail investors are gonna get hurt”

Front running is the prime example of retails getting screwed.

Front running, pump and dump, forcing a stock down to a widely held stop loss level and then rapidly buying shares.

Pimpin4Paradise

1/27/21 8:19pm

That was the one point I wished Chamath would have made, but didn't, because

benny1982

And while Scott kept saying Chamath avoided his question, Scott repeatedly

benny1982

1/27/21 8:24pm

They both were avoiding questions and issues. Chamath is more likeable mostly

YSMACK

1/27/21 8:31pm

Sure, but Chamath even agreed that they're using the same tactics. His primary

There is absolutely nothing wrong with retailers checking big investments,

RSL

Agreed.

YSMACK

1/27/21 9:29pm

Which is also part of Chamath’s point. The ones doing it this time are being very transparent. So if you get screwed-

How often do these hedge funds manipulate a price not based on fundamentals?

RSL

1/27/21 9:20pm

If INVESTORS only ever invested until a company had the money they were valued at then what is the point in INVESTING?

Ends with "I love you Scott. Be on the right side of history big boy!" 🤣

“It doesn’t necessarily mean that these investors that were short the stock were wrong” Ummm...what they did was the

And if selling short is going to be an option, paying dearly should be a rational consequence.

Hidden gem in the interview: Scott: "Chamath, aren't you and others like you who tweeted about your positions

Whether $100k or $10 million, how dare he try to make $ off of the stock market

Scott seems like he’d be the bell of the ball at a hedge fund party.

Well Scott didn’t come off to good. Basically got his *** kicked.
