In March, Tesla sold off about 10% of their Bitcoin...

Elon Musk said the reason they sold was to, "prove the liquidity of Bitcoin as an alternative to holding cash on the balance sheet..."

On the opening rant this week, Dan examines all the facts behind the surprising move...

And explains why he's not buying Musk's explanation...

Then on this week's interview, Dan invites Thomas Ricketts onto the show.

Thomas is President and CIO of Evolutionary Tree Capital Management, a firm exclusively focused on innovation investing. Evolutionary Tree uses their unique investment process to differentiate between hype and real innovation that yields future growth.

Their approach has led Evolutionary Tree to find stocks like HubSpot, ServiceNow and Pinterest before they were well known.

During their conversation, Dan asks Thomas what the main difference between innovation investing and speculating really is. Thomas explains how his firm uses 8 special criteria to separate the hype from the legitimate long-term opportunities.

Thomas even gives the listeners a handful of stocks he loves in cloud computing and biotech – two industries he says are poised for massive growth over the coming decades.

Then on this week's mailbag, one listener asks Dan how to buy "some additional insurance via buying put options..."

Another listener asks what Dan thinks about the sudden shift to ESG initiatives being parroted in many major industries.

And a final listener asks an excellent question about inflation and conventional economic wisdom.

Dan gives a thorough reply to this question and more on this week's episode.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
