TG Macro founder and Sailor's Edge editor Tony Greer joins Maggie Lake on Talking Markets to break down the rollercoaster markets. Greer walks through why he thinks semiconductors topped back in June (right around the SpaceX IPO) and haven't made a new high since, why he's betting the upcoming Anthropic IPO becomes a "sell the fact" event that finally lets the air out of what he calls a tech bubble of circular financing, and the exact price levels where he'd actually start shorting AI-related names. He's not chasing the move, though — his own portfolio is long energy and long gold, both of which have quietly become some of the best-performing trades of his year.He also covers why he thinks oil and interest rates could stay elevated for longer than people expect, why housing might be a surprising contrarian value trade, and the K-shaped economy he thinks is becoming impossible to ignoreJoin us on Substack: https://themarkethouse.substack.comConnect with us on Twitter: https://x.com/the_markethouse 🎯After a stellar first year, TG Macro Conference returns to Nashville on February 18-19, 2027, with a fantastic line-up and Maggie as emcee.
