We just witnessed a week of intense bull bear fight for control of the stock market narrative that ended, again, indecisive. The animal spirit of the retail investors is very clear that they want a piece of this new bull market while the bears are cashing out.
Which side is right? Well, the answer is way more sarcastic than many of you think.

Chamath Palihapitiya was interviewed by the Wharton Private Equity and Venture Capital Club. It is a long video with half of the session being question and answer from the audience.

Back to my marathon meetings.
Have a great weekend all!
