Cyber Attacks & Resource Warfare - Bizarro World 282

In the 282nd episode of Investing in Bizarro World, Gerardo and Nick discuss the current state of the markets and the world.

They cover topics such as the performance of gold, silver, copper, and uranium, as well as the challenges faced by lithium equities.

They also touch on the importance of companies getting work done and the need for long-term thinking in investing.

The conversation then shifts to the political landscape and the lack of substantive policies from both sides, with an emphasis on the importance of free speech and independent thought in a healthy democracy.

The conversation covers various topics including potential attacks on the Strait of Hormuz, cyber warfare, and the ban on antimony exports by China.

  • The market is currently volatile, and typical correlations between assets have broken down.
  • The long-term trajectory for green metals is positive due to the need for a secure supply chain.
  • The slowing economy is impacting higher-end restaurants, leading to diversification of offerings and lower prices.
