After Nailing 2022 Meltdown, Billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya Turns Bullish on the Stock Market – But There’s a Catch

Practically a 12 months after precisely forecasting this 12 months’s meltdown in international markets, billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya says he’s positioned to capitalize on a serious market rally.

In a brand new episode of the All-In Podcast, Palihapitiya says he’s bullish on the S&P 500 as he believes the inventory market index has carved a short-term backside.

“What’s unbelievable on this chart is that when everyone talks about being lengthy on the S&P 500, it was all the time actually a proxy for being lengthy Amazon, Fb, Google and Apple. On the peak, in Could of this 12 months, $0.25 of each single greenback of the S&P 500 had been these 5 corporations. 

We all the time mentioned the market backside will probably be when the ‘generals’ get shot… It appears to be like just like the generals have been shot. What’s unbelievable is that this week each single a type of corporations aside from Apple actually reported fairly crappy earnings. They received completely taken to the woodshed. The share of those corporations as a share of the S&P [500] is now off by 500 foundation factors. It’s down to twenty% but the markets are ripping larger at the moment…

I feel that is the purpose the place you need to begin to get fairly constructive about the place issues are going as a result of if these items couldn’t carry the market down, it’s exhausting to see one thing aside from an exogenous occasion, in all probability some Russia-Ukraine occasion, actually having a unfavorable impression. It appears fairly bullish for me.” 

Crypto merchants usually preserve a detailed eye on the S&P 500 as power within the equities markets means that deep-pocketed buyers are allocating to risk-on property like shares and digital property.

Though Palihapitiya is bullish on the inventory market, he predicts the rally will seemingly be unsustainable. He says that he agrees with the feelings of fellow enterprise capitalist David Sacks who believes that the US will seemingly see an enormous recession subsequent 12 months as a result of impression of the Fed’s speedy rate of interest hikes to the economic system.

“I feel the inventory market goes up. Then it’ll return down as a result of what David mentioned is true. However for the brief time period, this factor goes up. We’ve usually been positioned for it to go up and in some unspecified time in the future, we are going to reverse and place for it to return down, nevertheless it’s going up.”
