Satire & Investing with Le Shrub
Description
It was a true pleasure last week to chat to the meme trader, parody hedge fund manager and Shrubstack author himself, Le Shrub.
Le Shrub uses humour and parody to highlight opportunities and turning points in financial markets, which he brings to life for his followers on his Reminiscences of a Shrub Operator website.
We discuss the role of satire in understanding the stranger than fiction world we inhabit. Why it only makes sense when you realise it is all nonsense … and how his fictional characters, Klaus and the Pod Monkeys, can shed light on the investment landscape we inhabit.
Shrub gives his thoughts on the asymmetry of global markets, why he thinks Nvidia Must Die and why currency debasement is a feature of the Golden Age of Grift, not a bug.
But of course, none of what you are about to hear is any kind of advice, but just for your information and hopefully enjoyment.
Please take personal financial advice before investing a penny of your money in these crazy markets.
And with that said, please enjoy my conversation with Le Shrub.
I wrote about Satire & Investing as a tribute to Tom Lehrer, who died earlier this year, where I mentioned Le Shrub's great work.
