  • Interesting guests interviewed by a perma bear

    3/5 - Guests are interesting and the host is a decent interviewer. This is just a fair warning for casual layperson listeners to not take the host’s views seriously, as he is unfortunately a well known “permabear” (see his twitter) macro gloom & doomer whose market calls have been terribly wrong the last few years.

  • The best Macro Show out there.

    Michael is really good of cramming a lot into his X feed; he is even better when he has a longer format to expand in.

Inside Xtrackers XAIX: Why Most AI ETFs Get It Wrong and How XAIX Does It Better
Q: What type of advisor or investor is best suited for XAX and CRTC?
XAX is more concentrated and thematic, resulting in higher volatility, hence suitable for investors willing to ride volatility for high growth, while CRTC is designed to be less volatile and trade-like.

Q: How do you think those forces could affect or interact with funds like XAIX?
Headline risk is always present, but focusing on R&D spenders can provide benefits; companies investing the most in R&D are expected to outperform those that don't.
