In part two of Open Position with Steven Feldman, Steven and the Founder of Rosenberg Research, David Rosenberg delve into AI and extreme market imbalances. Steven worries that unlike past technological revolutions, AI is uniquely threatening because it directly replaces human cognitive labor, while David calls it “the most disruptive innovation” in history. They also discuss the economic metrics that show stock prices are irrationally priced compared to bonds. Steven suggests real assets are the only true safe haven right now and David lays out his portfolio balance while recommending his contrarian, hard-asset heavy “Bond, Bullion, and Barbell” strategy to protect against an eventual economic and political reckoning.
