The Next Big Short: The Debt Supercycle | Vincent Daniel, Porter Collins

Published: Feb. 6, 2022, 5 p.m.

b'Porter Collins and Vincent Daniels were some of the last investors to bet against the Federal Reserve and win. Over 13 years after the events of \\u201cThe Big Short,\\u201d they reflect on the past decade wherein the Federal Reserve tamed asset price volatility by keeping short-term rates very low and steadily expanding their balance sheet via quantitative easing (QE). \\n\\nLearning from this lesson, Daniels and Collins explains how Seawolf Capital largely avoided shorting stocks during 2021 because the Fed had the market\\u2019s back. Now that high inflation has forced the Fed\\u2019s hand to tighten monetary policy, Daniels and Collins think that 2022 will be an excellent year for short-selling, and that in particular the most vulnerable stocks are unprofitable growth companies that saw enormous price appreciation in 2020 and 2021. The pair explain why they remain bullish on nuclear energy, the cannabis industry, as well as stocks in the shipping and energy sector.\\n\\nFollow Porter Collins @Seawolfcap\\nFollow Vincent Daniels @VD718\\nFollow Jack Farley @JackFarley96\\nFollow Blockworks @Blockworks_\\n\\n--\\n\\nBCB is Europe\\u2019s leading provider of business accounts and trading services for the digital asset economy.
