Episode notes

Fresh off an assassination attempt, Donald Trump’s political future looms large. Is his return to the Oval Office now inevitable, and what could this mean for the investment landscape?

While Krzysztof battles the tail end of COVID, he passes the analytical baton to Luke, who takes a deep dive into three high-stakes companies:

Palantir $PLTR

NuScale Power $SMR

Rocket Lab $RKLB

Tune in to find out which of these is Krzysztof's favourite investment, and which he firmly parks in the uninvestible bucket!

We also unpack a controversial tweet by Cathie Wood of Ark Invest, shedding light on the often self-serving nature of professional money managers who prioritize their profits over their clients' best interests.

Meanwhile, our two-year $EOSE vs $AXON bet still needs a prize. Perhaps a trip to the company HQ in Pittsburgh or Arizona? Tweet us to help us figure out the stakes, and get a shout-out on next week's episode!
