What the people who move markets are saying about this, in their own words. These are views on the record, not scored bets: when a call here grows a number and a deadline, it moves to the scoreboard. Newest first.
Neutral
Direct answer to Guy Johnson's question 'Can europe rearm without the americans?' (@42:08). Adds Europe 'want to be able to do more by themselves' (@42:34) and backs going to 3.5%-5% defense spending if 'well spent in europe means working together' (@43:28).
“I don't think so. I think uh The americans are allies of europe.”
Bear
Said while listing diversification destinations: 'we're looking at, you know, places like Korea, India, that's a good place where there's growth' @3:41, explicitly excluding Europe.
“Europe doesn't look that attractive, because Europe's growth is stagnating.”
Bear
'They are. I don't believe in a position to catch up' (@6:41) on AI: 43 of the largest 50 AI companies are US-based, Europe has one (ASML, ~$800B); Germany/France flat, UK interest costs too high, no unified capital market ('intra family back and forth' @8:09). Concedes Europe is 'incredible' for intellectual capital but doesn't harness it.
“So I think it's a long time before Europe realizes the promise of what they want to achieve”

The reason I've gone broke twice is that I didn't understand the power of diversification. And it's easy to become concentrated without even knowing it. You know, ProfG Media is essentially an American company talking about American tech. We get a lot of advertisers from AI. I am over invested in technology stocks . I am so concentrated and non-divested accidentally, "Nick, well, I'll buy some S&P funds." Well, okay, 40% of the S&P is in 10 companies now, all related to AI. So one of the reasons I like this company as a personal investment is I want to invest more in Europe. People have basically given up on Europe. Investors have basically given up on Europe and that's when you buy. And two, I want diversification out of anything American and tech related because winter is coming as Daenerys and every other person from Game of Thrones said. And then also, the labor arbitrage. What do you think a talented senior product manager costs in San Francisco versus Milan? Especially after AI. Exactly. It's not like it's child labor. I would imagine that in Milan, if you 're making 120,000 euros, actually Milan 's gone a lot in price, but I would imagine for 120, 000 euros in Milan, you can probably…From: this video · 6 claims mined from it
