Peter Thiel on selling Facebook $META stock too early: “The incorrect view I had back in 2012 was… that going from $100B to $1T was much harder. In retrospect, going from $100B to $1T was maybe the easiest.” “The biggest mistake people make is never making mistakes.”

Bill Ackman called $META a bargain above $600 You guys are so lucky....

This needs to change

Warren Buffett: “The stock market is the most obliging, money-making place in the world. Because you don’t have to [trade. You can wait for a good deal.]… It’s a marvelous game. The rules are stacked in your favor.”

This past week, long-term bonds had second largest ever outflow and largest since March 2020: BofA, EPFR data. Strategists led by BofA's Michael Hartnett expect “policy panic” to avoid recession and are recommending going long yield curve steepeners.

By publishing this explicitly false story, the @FT has officially become tabloid trash for market participants. Despite my direct, on-the-record denial of ever having advocated, explored, or espoused the idea that Chancellor-Bank of England statute serving as a prototype for a Treasury-Federal Reserve relationship, FT journalists manufactured a story with the headline, “Scott Bessent praised Bank of England as model for tighter oversight of the Federal Reserve.” These pathetic journalists have clearly fabricated a story to give the impression that both I and the Trump Administration are setting “about restructuring the relationship… at a time when President Donald Trump has launched an unprecedented assault on the world’s most important central bank.” Their mendacious assertion is based on vague statements from unnamed “financial industry executives familiar with the matter.” In short, FT has literally manufactured an entirely fake policy position for me and the Administration. Other than furthering a maliciously false narrative of dysfunction and divisiveness, it baffles the mind as to why they would shred their already diminished journalistic credibility. Over the past 10 years, I have written more than 20,000 words opining on the Federal Reserve decisions, personnel, structure, and modifications. Nowhere have I ever mentioned this ridiculous notion. The Governor’s letters to the Chancellor have proven to be a useless and perfunctory device. There is much to be said about the storied Bank of England, but any recreation of its operating framework on this side of the Atlantic has never been contemplated. The shameful journalists and editors at the FT are shocking in their meretriciousness, lack of standards, and general intellectual libertinism. It is the worst tradition of Fleet Street to manufacture news rather than report on it. They have brought irredeemable shame to their parent organization, Nikkei Inc., with whom I had previously held excellent relations. In 2025, I laid out a comprehensive 6,000+ word review of each and every policy reform that I believe should be adopted by the Federal Reserve.

Warren Buffett: “If you can detach yourself—temperamentally—from the crowd, you'll get very rich. You don't have to be very bright [either].” “It doesn't take brains. It takes temperament.”

The move higher in US yields has been entirely driven by term premia, not inflation expectations. Real yields on 10-year bonds are the highest in almost a year. The implication seems to be that investors are worried about the fiscal response to whatever is coming down the pike.

Larry Fink: “If I allowed more people to redeem, I’m not a fiduciary to those who are staying in”. It’s an admission that the reported NAV is bogus.

BlackRock's Larry Fink: If Iran remains a threat after the bombing stops, there could be "years of above $100, closer to $150 oil, which has profound implications in the economy" and an outcome of "a probably stark and steep recession." (1/2) bbc.com/news/articles/…

Palantir CTO @ssankar in 2024: “For $10 billion, @elonmusk put 300 rockets in orbit.” “For $11 billion the state of California has built 1600ft of elevated rail, with no rail.”

I am honored and grateful to be appointed by President Trump to the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) and to be named Co-Chair along with OSTP Director Michael Kratsios. PCAST is the principal body of external advisors tasked with shaping science, technology, and innovation policy for the President and the White House. Thirteen of the world’s most accomplished leaders in science and technology will join us as this PCAST’s initial members. Together we will make policy recommendations to ensure that America leads—and wins—in artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge technologies.  I look forward to working with the initial members: Marc Andreessen, Sergey Brin, Safra Catz, Michael Dell, Jacob DeWitte, Fred Ehrsam, Larry Ellison, David Friedberg, Jensen Huang, John Martinis, Bob Mumgaard, Lisa Su, and Mark Zuckerberg. Thank you to President Trump for his visionary leadership on technology policy which attracts the top luminaries in their fields to serve. It is an honor to be part of this distinguished group.
