Valuetainment - “Financial Advisors Will Go Extinct” - Pompliano PREDICTS AI’s Deadly Blow To Wall Street

00:00:00.000 what would your advice be to these people of like i make 40 grand a yard just pumped a twenty

00:00:03.440 thousand dollars into some spot etf trade whatever that is but that's not how investing works well

00:00:09.240 now do you see the 5x etfs that got launched yesterday or got filed this is fucking crazy 0.95

00:00:13.840 i don't know what is it called 5x if you go uh 5x levered etfs um so so there's etfs on single

00:00:22.540 names right so you can go you can uh i'm sorry there's etfs that usually are a basket the s&p

00:00:26.240 500 nasdaq 100 etc recently uh over the last two or three years people have started to do 2x etfs

00:00:32.360 and they position them as trading tools so they say hey listen you can go two times long by just

00:00:37.040 buying this etf you don't really need to understand leverage you just buy the etf and let's say you're

00:00:40.980 going into an earnings call or something and you want some leverage on a single name stock well of

00:00:45.180 course 2x comes out they're very popular somebody launches 3x yesterday i saw it's the first time i

00:00:51.560 had ever seen i don't know if there's been other ones but this volatility shares they launched 5x

00:00:55.940 levered etfs so you can buy a single name etf that has 5x leverage embedded into it so you know

00:01:03.280 retail is going to go buy it right you get 5x leverage of course they're going to buy it i think

00:01:07.560 we're playing a dangerous game isn't this just sort of similar to sports gambling it's like we're

00:01:10.780 gonna do a 10 team parlay and we're gonna crypto does it crypto off this 50x you know leverage

00:01:16.240 right and some of these uh and some of these exchanges so again it's like if uh what's the saying

00:01:21.100 on wall street like when the ducks are quacking feed them but i mean that's what the platforms are

00:01:25.440 doing is they're saying hey these these folks want this stuff so we're giving it to them but

00:01:30.000 again i think that when you start getting into this 5x levered etf world right like is somebody

00:01:33.860 to come out with 10x levered a regulator is going to approve that what happens when the article comes

00:01:38.240 out in the new york times or wall street journal about the people who all got blown up you know

00:01:41.180 holding the 5x levered thing there's um if you look at uh do amd etf blow up there was a amd uh etf i

00:01:50.060 think it was like a 3x or 2x uh uh etf that um yeah here you go so when open ai announced this deal

00:01:57.120 with amd obviously the stock price exploded went up 38 percent and the uh granite shares i think

00:02:04.020 3x levered fund i think that's the one uh it blew up net net asset value went to zero meaning that if

00:02:09.540 you were holding that etf you lost all your money because it was a 3x short etf so you're basically

00:02:17.940 three times levered short on a stock that goes up 38 off of an announcement so like that is a

00:02:24.200 perfect example where i think that people are sitting there and they're saying hey you know

00:02:27.880 i think amd is overvalued it's going to go down let me put 3x leverage on like leverage is a hell

00:02:32.080 of a drug tom what do you have with this well there's there's two things here first of all

00:02:36.420 there's also gamification and there's things that are happening and if you go look at reddit and you

00:02:41.120 look at the reddit threads on there and i don't mean just wall street bets and roaring kitty and all

00:02:45.060 that goes with that in the meme stocks you go and look at things like i've been doing this test

00:02:49.280 so that we can come back with a number scream and do a little segment on it and what i did was um

00:02:56.600 you know i read about these guys autopilot what is autopilot autopilot is very simply automated

00:03:03.600 trading based on a formula so you could go to autopilot and you could select the nancy pelosi

00:03:09.960 portfolio and connect it so i said i'm going to do a test so on july 1st i took 50 000 i created

00:03:17.760 a simple robin hood account basic and then pat i went to um autopilot filled out the credentials

00:03:25.820 and said okay autopilot you can trade the 50 000 in my robin hood according to the nancy pelosi

00:03:33.280 disclosures you did this i did this and i am at this this is just a little test so this is a small

00:03:39.380 test and real world environment right now it's up 18.8 percent it's gained 9 500 since july 1st

00:03:46.560 stop it tom no i'm not just this little 50 000 i did this to do a test because i was reading

00:03:52.680 that in the first like 90 days of autopilot being out there some 40 000 accounts were created and these

00:04:00.620 were citizens out there retail traders that were doing this and by the way there's also some very

00:04:05.540 interesting things you can go find out you can trade world war three portfolio on defense uh jim

00:04:12.640 simmons uh you can do jim simmons yes you can and also you can do they probably do it off the inverse

00:04:19.280 kramer you you can't do jim simmons no what they what they probably do i don't know for sure no way

00:04:24.800 you can do jim simmons no because what they probably what they probably do is they probably take the 13f

00:04:29.120 filings from renaissance and then they just follow you're too late if you do that no that's exact this

00:04:33.700 is it depends right well i don't know there's no way you can do the jim jim that's what they're

00:04:38.620 getting for the pelosi i mean i get that i i understand they they have they show that if you

00:04:44.120 would put money on the jim simmons tracker at 74 for what time period one year one year one year from

00:04:49.600 right now this summer last i mean this fall last fall and it is uh tracking publicly available

00:04:54.960 information from jim simmons medallion jim simmons closed his fund to his customers told everybody to

00:05:01.720 get out and they just kept it for themselves that's how amazing renaissance technologies was

00:05:07.160 getting a rate of return out yeah i mean it was a ridiculous their their clients were getting 30 by

00:05:14.060 the renaissance they talked about their clients were getting 39 rate of return and they were getting 65

00:05:19.320 rate of return give or take and they said folks take your money out we're not wanting any more new money

00:05:23.940 what was your return on your in 50 000 i'm at 18 percent here's what i know tom lunch is on you

00:05:30.640 today no no no no i'm doing what do you mean no i'm doing this to show people were doing this with

00:05:36.420 10 grand five grand and doing this like this and actually getting i'm telling you tom but let me

00:05:40.880 it's changing things are changing investment is changing that's you know what is scary you know

00:05:46.520 what is scary about this you know who should be scared about this the traditional guys that are

00:05:51.720 working at morgan stanley the traditional guys that are working at chases the traditional guys

00:05:56.600 that are there the middle the middle where you're like hey man why am i putting you're going well this

00:06:01.320 is going to give us a good rate of return of six percent annually for the next 10 years your money is

00:06:06.300 going to double in 12 years excuse me yeah your money it is going to be a very very competitive market

00:06:13.120 for those guys the financial but the traditional good financial advisors that come to you and say

00:06:19.460 we got a great fund for you that can make this kind of money for you can i take it a step further yeah

00:06:23.680 go for it we um we actually think that those guys are all going to go away for the most part

00:06:27.920 we um if you think what a financial advisor does financial advisor ingests information about your life

00:06:34.300 synthesizes it looks into the market as to what's happening both in financial markets and various

00:06:39.820 products and then gives you back an output it gives you advice it gives you recommendations all

00:06:43.940 this stuff we have built an ai version of that this is cfo sylvia that is crushing in terms of not only

00:06:53.000 is it smarter it's faster it's free but what you start to realize is you can do things so like the

00:06:59.800 whole problem with if you go to chat gpt or perplexity and you start asking it questions it can give

00:07:04.740 you advice about the financial market so it could tell you hey the stocks are up or down or this stock

00:07:09.200 here let me do some analysis like it's pretty powerful stuff but the thing that's always missing

00:07:12.840 is your personal financial information so it doesn't it can't give you advice about your portfolio

00:07:16.740 because they don't have access to that data so we did is we built this uh ai agent called sylvia where 1.00

00:07:21.380 you go in and you attach your bank account your crypto account your uh brokerage you can attach your

00:07:26.320 credit card you can upload your tax returns like you just give it all your information that data is

00:07:31.540 anonymized and uh encrypted and my data is in there i don't want anything to happen to it

00:07:35.380 and then you can start to ask questions but you can do crazy things you can say hey run a monte carlo

00:07:40.420 simulation on my portfolio and tell me where i'm likely to be in 10 years and do 100 000 simulations

00:07:45.320 or let's say that the u.s china trade deal happens within seconds you can ask sylvia how is this trade 0.51

00:07:50.800 deal going to impact my portfolio and the ai will go and it'll read the entire uh breakdown of the trade

00:07:55.380 deal it'll look at your personal portfolio and it'll spit out to you exactly what uh is likely to

00:07:59.600 happen and so then you can even start to do things where you can say hey you know go do deep

00:08:04.120 research on palantir stock and when you do that deep research uh i want you to tell me whether

00:08:09.580 you think that i should uh buy the stock or not and how i should do it and so it is going to go

00:08:15.500 and look at not only palantir it'll come back and say here's the pros and cons of palantir stock all

00:08:18.900 this stuff but then it'll look and say do you have a concentration of tech stocks well your

00:08:23.180 concentration means you're very correlated to tech and so maybe you should actually put a smaller

00:08:26.920 position on rather than a larger position to palantir and oh by the way should i do a one-time

00:08:30.900 purchase or should i dollar cost average into the stock over six months right you can start to do

00:08:34.840 all this stuff in a very automated way and it does it in seconds and so we actually think that

00:08:38.460 the financial advisors are not going to be the ones who are recommending these products in the future

00:08:43.300 because just like you're seeing the eugenic uh commerce happen in open ai and i know we're probably

00:08:48.020 going to talk about walmart and a bunch of this stuff you're going to start seeing in finance the ai is

00:08:52.680 the one who's going to start directing people to where they should go so autopilot's a good example

00:08:57.780 autopilot is just saying hey if you put your money in here tom we're just going to follow the 13 fs or

00:09:03.940 we're going to follow the disclosures from pelosi and the ai is essentially going to do it of the

00:09:07.920 proxy you select correct so we think that you know the sylvia product is a good example where right now

00:09:13.580 you don't put your assets on the platform you just connect your data this is this is so who owns

00:09:17.560 autopilot tom it's an independent independent startup two guys that super smart guys i've talked to

00:09:22.580 them very very smart how recent that they started i think like let's go back and look at the history

00:09:26.800 i think 24 months yeah two years ago uh how much money have these guys raised three guys how much

00:09:33.680 have they raised rob can you see how much money they've raised not not uh not a ton how much money

00:09:40.460 have these guys raised let's see autopilot yeah seven million they've raised seven million in and

00:09:49.180 where they based out of are they here florida or are they silicon valley i forget

00:09:53.760 uh rob you're excellent google he's really good yeah you're fast la all right got it interesting

00:10:04.820 this is the beautiful thing about capitalism and ideas people are going to come up with uh folks if

00:10:10.060 you want to learn more about cfo sylvia go to cfo sylvia.com cfo sylvia s-i-l-v-i-a dot com to learn

00:10:17.800 more about it but this is a you know this is a big because this is good this is the good news side

00:10:25.040 this is very good about capitalism and by the way this is why we chose to do the podcast once a week

00:10:30.080 that's around business and and money because we want people to start making more money and have

00:10:33.860 more success for themselves as well but this is the part about you know everybody wanted to go into

00:10:40.080 jim simon's renaissance technology by the way he was one of the first guys ever they use ai and he did

00:10:45.760 that in 80 no in the 60s if i'm not mistaken can you can you type in when renaissance technologies

00:10:51.960 got started it could be late 60s 70s oh yeah they've been doing it yeah they've been doing it

00:10:56.100 for a long time but mathematician he was a mathematician yeah he was a 1982 okay but he

00:11:01.900 started earlier he was a teacher at first and then he somehow some way gets into this with

00:11:07.820 renaissance technologies and then it takes off there's another fellow in the story as well outside

00:11:11.800 of him that uh there's a howard morgan guy yes so uh what this does is tom so now imagine if you're

00:11:18.840 renaissance technology what do you do now if a company like this can come and use the way you're

00:11:25.260 making the investment what is your differentiator you like it you like it everyone on autopilot's

00:11:32.460 buying after you bought so it it only validates what you're doing so a renaissance pushes the stock

00:11:39.120 price higher so in theory secondary investors are like so it even helps nancy pelosi yeah that's a 0.98

00:11:47.420 good way to think about it you heard tom what did you say it does what he said well when a series c

00:11:53.520 comes up and it's sequoia they're marking up my deal if i'm the series b they're marking up the

00:11:58.020 valuation and they're putting more validation in with their investment now you have the public

00:12:02.560 basically marking up the deal for everybody else that's already in so the other thing that's

00:12:07.300 happening in financial markets that i think people are starting to realize is um i've talked

00:12:11.680 with a lot of institutional investors a lot of hedge funds in the last year or so uh you have to

00:12:16.080 remember that the young people who are growing up with a phone in their hand they're on you know x

00:12:20.520 they're on reddit they're listening to podcasts etc they live a dual life they're an institutional

00:12:25.800 investor when they're at work they're a retail investor when they're in their personal account

00:12:29.820 so now what's happening is historically it was the institutions who were leading and retail was trying to

00:12:34.980 chase the trend right institution puts a position on they go on television they start talking about

00:12:39.100 it retail goes and buys it we like nike correct now it's flipping the retail investors are running into

00:12:46.700 different investment themes because they don't have the constraints they don't have an investment

00:12:50.300 committee they don't have you know uh rebalancing and all this stuff so they're going to buy well the

00:12:55.680 the people that are inside the institutions these young people they think of themselves as retail

00:12:59.720 investors they see the trends they're sitting on twitter all day and so then they go and they

00:13:03.640 advocate for those positions inside the institutions so a good example is uh open door right if you look

00:13:09.140 at this open door stock uh the retail investors all started to buy it basically there's a hedge fund

00:13:13.660 manager in canada's guy eric jackson who comes out and he says hey i think this thing is significantly

00:13:18.300 undervalued it was trading at like 50 cents and he says i think that this thing can come back and so he

00:13:23.180 goes and he buys the position i interviewed him when he did it and you know i heard the pitch i thought it

00:13:27.800 was interesting but uh i didn't do anything go buy the stock or whatever stock started to to move up and

00:13:33.600 i paid attention i see all the retail guys and i see what they're they're doing and i say you know

00:13:37.180 what i'm gonna buy this stock you know i'm gonna buy the stock the company at the current moment

00:13:40.480 doesn't look super attractive but i think the retail guys are going to be able to advocate change

00:13:45.460 inside this company basically like an activist campaign so i buy a stock all of a sudden the retail

00:13:50.620 guys they get super loud within i don't know 72 hours of them really going hard the ceo steps down

00:13:57.260 they get management to eventually agree to stop selling shares they bring in a new ceo who's the

00:14:03.180 former ceo of shopify they bring back the founders onto the board of directors all this stuff so it's

00:14:08.120 like the most successful activist campaign recently well right after the retail guys all started buying

00:14:13.980 the stock and advocating for all these changes all the 13f start coming out all the institutions start

00:14:19.120 buying you see all these guys are buying up this stock now some of it is they think interest rates

00:14:23.660 are going to come down this is in the residential real estate market so that would be kind of a tailwind

00:14:27.220 for uh for the company but a big part of it is they're paying attention to what the retail guys are

00:14:31.160 doing and so they're sitting there saying wait a minute why are all these guys all buying the stock

00:14:34.880 there's energy now right that there's momentum they're advocating change they're bringing back

00:14:39.020 the founders they're putting in this great ceo like that is going to change this company and so the

00:14:43.960 institutions follow retail which is very different than 10 years ago doesn't that kind of almost

00:14:48.100 sort of validate what jim kramer was saying about the the tail wagging the dog not the dog

00:14:53.020 because he said basically that volatile crypto trading is sort of insinuating why the capital markets are

00:14:59.100 moving the direction they're going so is kramer kind of accurate he was looking at liquidity flows

00:15:02.960 he is but he's afraid of this pattern that's my that's way i understood it he's worried that crypto

00:15:10.220 is now the leader not you know that's something important that you said something really important

00:15:16.080 that you said and i can for people that are listening i'll take you back to the big short

00:15:21.160 where you have the asian gentleman that's working with merrill lynch

00:15:24.840 and uh mark baum comes over to his table at the restaurant as you recall and um he says to him

00:15:32.220 and he says i have a question for you and he starts talking about the cdo collateralized debt

00:15:36.820 obligation which was nothing more than a big stack of mortgages put in an investment and he he starts

00:15:43.780 describing the synthetic cdo and all of these um mechanisms and mark baum acts him saying

00:15:51.620 if the cdo market is this big how big is the insurance market on the cdo and he says probably

00:15:58.200 20x remember that scene and bomb suddenly realizes as he says that the insurance market on the cdo

00:16:05.600 was the nuclear bomb now what you just described that is how the traditional organizations pat think

00:16:13.460 and so the people that built the 3x are thinking we'll just build a 5x that's the traditional people

00:16:20.100 the same people that built the synthetic cdo's that put the insurance on the cdo's that is wall

00:16:24.980 street and the institutions building their products and opportunities meanwhile all these other things

00:16:30.100 are happening for the retail investors through robin hood and then through autopilot and then through

00:16:35.460 reddit and then through calci and the democratization of opinion that you can look back and say was it

00:16:41.020 right or is it wrong and do i like it i see two different things happening for institutions that are

00:16:46.900 making increasingly bigger bets we're going to put 1.3 trillion in infrastructure

00:16:51.620 to quote a current event and then retail coming i i see it like that do you think i'm do you think

00:16:59.540 i'm nuts i think you're dead on one of the stats uh look up a retail percentage of the stock market i

00:17:04.640 think it's like 38 percent or something now um that number i think is going to go to over 50

00:17:09.680 right if you think about in the stock market um so it's like 35 percent uh is um the the latest

00:17:17.740 number i think it's like 38 percent now uh the reason why that's important is because if all of a

00:17:22.620 sudden retail is bigger than the institutions in terms of the trading volume in the market you have

00:17:27.500 to start to look at what is retail doing what are they interested in what are the thing the themes

00:17:31.820 that they are uh investing behind and i think that's a big reason why uh these institutions right

00:17:36.920 so like some recent figures placing as high as 36 percent and and so that is a lot of these apps

00:17:42.620 are starting to give access but i also think that people drastically underestimate how smart

00:17:47.360 these uh retail investors can be so to me they're still going to be the like gamblers right the people

00:17:52.720 who are just speculating in the market but i think actually there is this kind of middle ground there's

00:17:56.920 institutions there's like retail with like ten dollars in an account but there is something i call them

00:18:00.800 professional retail there are people who you know it's the google engineer who's got a million

00:18:05.120 dollar salary they're not dumb but they're also saying i don't trust the financial advisor i don't

00:18:09.160 trust the stock broker i'm going to go and i'm going to invest in the market directly myself i've

00:18:12.120 access to information now i've access to the market via these apps i'm going to go and i'm going to do

00:18:15.520 it myself that is a very fast growing segment of the market let me tell you disruption at a high

00:18:22.860 level is coming to the space at a high level and it's i remember one time tom you and i went to

00:18:29.360 our monk and we're sitting there with swiss three and we're saying we want to introduce a model of

00:18:35.900 underwriting for insurance and i said this model is going to get rid of actuaries and they say you're

00:18:41.760 going to face a very big problem here because a lot of these guys are they're making 250 400 000

00:18:46.160 a senior actuary what is a senior 20 year vet actuary making 400 grand 300 grand it's pretty good

00:18:53.140 life what they're making some of them half a million dollars says if you guys said look we can create a

00:18:57.400 way i want to underwrite somebody in 20 seconds i don't want to underwrite somebody in four weeks

00:19:01.140 i don't want to wait two weeks can we do it based on 30 seconds can we pull up this data that data

00:19:06.660 this what if we do this because the data was there the data's there your credit report was there your

00:19:10.900 driving record was there your med check of what i don't smoke really then why do you have nick patches

00:19:15.840 on your on your med yeah is it straight i can check i can check all of that in 30 seconds and i have to

00:19:21.680 pay six dollars for this four dollars for that 13 dollars for that you know what's crazy and now i can

00:19:26.180 underwrite that in seconds for about 25 so check this out we go and i start proposing that to

00:19:30.920 different underwriters i start meeting with them and one of the underwriters i met but i won't even

00:19:35.140 tell his name but you know who i'm talking maybe you know who i'm talking about i'm talking to this

00:19:38.540 underwriter in hawaii maybe you know where i'm going with this oh yeah i have an underwriter this

00:19:43.660 conversation buddy yeah i have a conversation with this underwriter in hawaii letters yes i have a

00:19:47.640 conversation with this guy in hawaii and i'm presenting this thing to him oh this will never happen

00:19:52.800 i said is it because you're going to be replaced is it because that those jobs of the old school

00:19:59.100 well no i mean you're still going to need us i said i don't think so i don't i said you probably

00:20:04.700 have a safe job for five or ten years i said buddy your job's going to be extinct very soon

00:20:09.220 this whole concept of the ai thing that's coming and what these younger guys are building and by the

00:20:17.140 way that was one of the reasons why i wasn't interested in staying insurance for 20 years i was like this

00:20:21.660 if i'm fighting this it's going to be too slow we're going to go a completely different route and

00:20:26.100 then we sold off and the speed the speed was my biggest thing it's too slow let's go is what it was

00:20:33.600 and pomp you'll love this cvc corporate venture capital yep swiss re one of the reinsurance companies

00:20:38.820 and you know reinsurance companies hide in bermuda some of the largest stacks of money on on earth

00:20:44.300 they had one guy in a basement office that we went to speak to about innovation remember that guy

00:20:51.140 he was nice remember this bat one guy who had an office literally in the basement in the old section 0.95

00:20:58.200 that didn't have this grand artwork and all this redone and we're like you guys are you guys should

00:21:03.800 be all over cvc and investments i saw this in real time in a different sector uh there's a company

00:21:09.380 called figure technologies that uh we invested in and um at the time uh they started getting into

00:21:15.360 helix you know home equity lines of credit and uh historically helix i forget all the data but it's

00:21:20.480 like it takes like 45 60 days it uh you got to send in physical paperwork right you got to fill it out

00:21:26.040 you got to send your pay stub you got to get an employment letter all this crazy stuff for a guy with 0.90

00:21:29.080 a job living in a house he owns correct so what they did is and to kind of paraphrase is they

00:21:34.400 basically said uh you can come here you basically use plaid to all office into your bank account

00:21:40.200 you fill out you know a quick form within five minutes they tell you whether you're gonna get

00:21:44.260 the helix or not and they send you the money within five days they became like the second or third

00:21:48.120 largest helix originator in uh in the united states and a huge reason was like why do you have to send

00:21:52.860 in your you know w-2 if they can just see in your bank account you keep getting a direct deposit every

00:21:57.880 two weeks and what is the amount of money so it sounds very similar to what you're talking about is like if

00:22:01.020 the uh med check i think you called it yeah if you know that they've got nicotine patches like yeah

00:22:05.600 i'm assuming you're either smoking or trying to quit so i i just think like this whole like data

00:22:12.960 business um or or this like uh you know automatic underwriting automatic uh analysis is going to become

00:22:19.200 very very big as people realize that uh now the data doesn't only exist but also there have been

00:22:24.980 companies that have popped up that have become the connectivity so it makes it very simple for

00:22:29.020 developers to be able to go and do it plads a great example for banks um that there's many

00:22:33.140 others like this and so i think you're going to continue to see this over and over doesn't just

00:22:36.160 come down to efficiency and cutting out the middleman and all the red tape and deregulation

00:22:39.800 is that just what just efficiency efficiency that's what it is if you're not so one of the things that

00:22:44.700 you know and i already know that i'm preaching to the choir here with uh kind of entrepreneurship but

00:22:48.500 like if you think of what entrepreneurs is a problem solver right so if you're trying to offer

00:22:52.340 something in the marketplace and somebody says to you hey you can have a 60-day process you got to do all

00:22:55.780 these paperwork all this crazy stuff or you can go on a website and click buttons and i'll tell you

00:23:00.280 in five minutes whether you're going to get it or not where are people going to go obviously so

00:23:03.400 whether it's insurance whether it's helix whether it's you know whatever sector like that is where

00:23:07.540 the world is going and i think that uh entrepreneurs are just trying to figure out where is there

00:23:11.500 inefficiency that we can cut out on monday i introduced you to the flbs the flb one shoes

00:23:17.620 future looks bright shoes and let me tell you what happened since that day for black shoes that
