I'm not sure. He does say what he is invested in. I stopped watching him years ago cause it because a circus with his buy buy buy, sell sell sell etc and this is not what you want in a money manager with influence imo. For me it just became an entertainment show masked in grandioso financial expertise on a financial channel that didn't care about real people's money...aka 2008 and derivatives.

There was a good article about 1988 and derivatives and how we still haven't recovered from that. 2023 is gonna be lit.

Nope, 1988. Derivatives is just legal gambling.

We continue to repeat it.... I figure the more complex any investment is the easier of a seller to hide costs and risks. This was the case for 2008 and the case of crypto/blockchain. Nothing like old fashion CDs and stock dividends that are simple mechanics to basic users to understand.

BTW I'm not saving CDs are a great investment strategy just I've someone thinks that.
