Today’s guest is Steve Eisman. Steve is most famous for his bet against the US housing market before 2008 and his role in Michael Lewis’ book, The Big Short. He’s now a portfolio manager at Neuberber Berman.

In today’s episode, Steve talks about the three themes he sees driving markets today: AI, infrastructure and crypto. He explains why he’s a believer in the first two, but not crypto. He also shares his take on the upcoming election and how that may impact markets.
