What insights does Jaspreet Singh share about the current economic landscape?
Welcome back to part two of this incredible conversation. Without further ado, here we go. When I look at the economy, I may see something different than you. So I look at the economy. I don't have a team of researchers, so that's probably part of this, but I see these whipsaw movements. Up, down, doesn't matter. Down, back up, doesn't matter. Asset class, almost doesn't matter. what i see is my money's being inflated away i understand that the government is going to print i understand that the government did print so even if right now inflation is less than one percent we've still never come down from the 25 percent raise so i've still got to beat that hurdle i've got to find a way to make enough money to make ends meet today let alone in the future
I'm looking at AI coming down the road like a freight train and I might be thinking I've only got seven years left of my career and then like I don't even know what the world is going to look like. So you've got massive uncertainty. You've got such reckless spending behavior on the left and the right. So no one in government is coming to save you. And if you understand anything, you recognize, oh, I'm on the bottom part of the K. I want to get to the top part of the K. And it couldn't be more simple. Asset owners are on the top. You want the right assets, but asset owners are on the top. Everybody else is on the bottom. Cool. I need to get up into that top. Awesome. Gambling is a thing because it triggers the dopamine reward center.
So investing, forgive me if you don't agree with this, but investing is gambling. So it's just a sort of different duration, but same thing. And so people, oh, I could do that slow buffety gamble, or am I going to do Kalshi and just, hey, I get it. What do I think? Super short term, up, down, whatever. I get it. Nice and easy. Place my bet. See what happens. And then on top of that, if any of this stuff can be gamed, then it's like you had the people standing outside the stadium while Bad Bunny was rehearsing to figure out what was the set gonna be, timing the woman singing the national anthem, how long was that? And then going and placing bets. You've got people inside of companies almost certainly doing insider trading on this stuff.
This is literally GameStop all over again. It is cultural energy catching people up in this euphoria that you can make all this money. We saw it with Bitcoin. We saw it with NFTs. We see this kind of behavior over and over and over. And now it's just that the market is so bad for young people. They're so on the wrong side of the K that, yep, YOLO, doesn't matter. I'll do whatever I can.
Well, I wouldn't say investing is gambling.
Let's fight to the death. Convince me.
How is AI transforming job markets and investing strategies?
Why is investing not gambling?
Before we do that, I do want to address what you're saying about the entire, the gambling industry being so popular because of the way the economy is. Because this isn't the first time we've seen something like this happen. Las Vegas didn't get built because people wanted to get out of a bad recession. When the 2008 recession boom and bust happened. It wasn't because people felt like they were poor. It's people wanted to get richer. During the mid-2000s time, people didn't feel like I'm being left out of the economy in the sense that, oh my God, everybody is rich. I can't afford life. It's I want to get richer because everybody who buys a house is getting rich. So let me go buy six houses under my cat's name because the bank is going to write any check that they want.
Same thing in the 2000 crash. Not to mention, if we take a look at sports betting, The average 18-year-old, 21-year-old, 22-year-old who is betting on the Lakers or the Lions, they're not that feeling, I feel like I'm left out of the economy. It's because I'm still in college. All of my friends are making money and betting on sports betting. It makes games more interesting. It's become cultural. Yes, I do think now there is a new aspect, which is I feel left out. And because I feel left out, I am desperate. And because I'm desperate, now I make stupid decisions because that has happened time and time again.
