Breaking Down the Quantum Stock Mania
We open on the quantum bubble—why euphoric pricing, SPAC lineage, tiny revenues, and heavy short interest make this corner of the market feel like a digital casino. Then we break down shorting in plain English (and why timing risk blows up otherwise “correct” theses). Simon pivots to gold’s surge, drawing parallels to the post-1971 fiat shift, sticky core inflation, and chronic deficits—plus what the Bank of Canada’s changing language might be signaling. We wrap with how gold and Bitcoin can coexist in a portfolio and a quick life update from the hosts. Not investment advice.
