It’s sheer insanity. SPAC Jesus was on CNBC last week pitching his new investment idea. Sorkin asked for a response about social media’s overwhelming sentiment that he’s effectively a scammer. His response was that it was unfortunate that speculators negative were unfairly skewing sentiment.

That response surprised me and made me question if I confused him with someone else. After a quick google I realized he’s just a sociopath.

Public sentiment about these results were inexplicably unfavorable? It’s crazy pill levels of insanity that networks still offer him their audience.

quote:

Out of the 10 SPACs launched by Chamath Palihapitiya through his Social Capital firm, 4 were liquidated without finding a target, and 5 of the remaining 6 that completed mergers have suffered severe stock price declines of 70% to over 98%. Only one completed deal (SoFi Technologies) has generated a net positive lifetime return for public investors.

My salary, yes. Spouse makes about the same as me. We are not there yet for total household income, maybe in 5-7 years. That milestone will make me feel more secure about retirement.

Yes on 1Y and YTD, but both are outliers. I’m not going to get a highly predictable market dump and rip every year where I effectively time the bottom
