This episode is sponsored by Bitstamp and Ciphertrace.

Today on the Brief:

  • Saudi Arabia injects $13 billion in bank liquidity via blockchain.

  • The largest 50-day rally in history
  • Every S&P 500 stock up from 10 weeks ago

This episode looks at:

  • Who is this new generation of investors
  • Why they’re so active right now
  • What they’re betting will go up
  • Why they don’t care about earnings, balance sheets or any other fundamentals
