Q&A for the Market Outlook from Jan 26, 2025

[@MrDeadlyCrow]

Mark, in my opinion, the discussion at the beginning is totally unnecessary. Maybe these comments are genuine for now, maybe. But the more you react, pay attention, and give them screen time, the more complete trolls will appear with similar comments-just to trigger you, see themselves on the screen, and eat popcorn. Don't get triggered. All mature internet users see through this, no worries

[@Sweetpeach-_-]

I find it entertaining jmo.

[@ukulayme2]

Mark has disabled me from posting comments (so much for free speech right?) I can still reply to comments tho, here’s my response: Mark, You once again have embarrassed yourself by not addressing the point. I never said lab leak theory is false. Your original claim was that Facebook was wrong to censor misinformation and that this CIA assessment was proof that truth was being censored. The reason the CIA assessment is irrelevant is because Facebook NEVER CENSORED the lab leak theory. They only censored the “bio weapon” theory, which the CIA is not claiming. Facebook fact checkers saved lives and they got nothing wrong. I don’t disagree with the accidental lab leak theory being probable. Thanks for showing everyone that you are yet again woefully misinformed and laughable unqualified to talk about anything outside of finance!

[@SR-gt350]

No, it's required! You have to do it with your friends and family to shake their heads into reality. It seems that you have mass formation psychosis.

[@DinnerIsDelayed]

No it’s needed lol

[@daneomegan]

Flippant, poorly thought out statement that shows you foolish < comprehensive reply that shines the spotlight on a fool.

[@DaveIngelson]

Great video. I hope you continue going "out of your lane" - you offer this content for free and have every right to share your informed opinions. Too many people can't handle anything they don't like or don't agree with anymore. I appreciate hearing the 80% of things that I agree with you on (which often is not the accepted mainstream narrative) and I also appreciate hearing the 20% of things that I do not agree with you on since it makes me stop to think and question my position on it. The wonderful thing about Finance and Markets is that they encompass geopolitics, economics, science, arts, and everything in between. I tune in for intelligent "conversation" that is not easy for me to find in day-to-day life anymore.

[@moeplug2428]

The discussion at the beginning is great, shows exactly why the discord server & levels of access he plans on doing is needed

[@trytry9992]

i wonder why everytime the lab leak theory got brought out, there is always a bunch of people dispelling it, as if someone is actively trying to stop people from talking about it lol

[@ukulayme2]

Dumb conspiracy theorists lol

[@softwarewizards9869]

Didn't you see how the whole of mainstream media were actively, explicitly trying to stop people to discuss it in 2020?

32:45 I believe Churchill said that about Democracy, not Capitalism

Sort comments by “New” if you want to see Ukulayme’s response.

[@ACzechManGoingHisOwnWay]

With respect to margin (collateral) requirements. One component is the intraday variation risk - this one does not need to be so high due to a quick & easy intraday liquidation. But another component is the overnight risk - this one needs to account for all kinds of dramatic developments outside of trading hours, because it is impossible to liquidate a position ASAP. Only in 24/7 markets such as BTC or FX can you have near zero margin requirements (presuming "instantaneous" liquidation at any time, which is still rather ambitious, IMO).

[@SR-gt350]

Wood framing is fine, you need a fire barrier such as concrete board siding and metal clad roofing. Also these new smart meters are defective and caused alot of the electeical fires

[@rolandsaint-pierre196]

hey Mark, I sent you reply on the last video early today. I understand your point on the labels of misinformation/disinformation being handled by people who are not worthy of wielding those labels and I think you are right in your assertion, however I think it's also a fair assessment to be skeptical of the genuine intent of the CIA releasing a controversial statement like this (given that lack of consensus yet from the intelligence community at large) given the political convenience of the attitudes the new administration holds towards China

[@flwz2]

Could people like me, university students studying finance, be allowed in the discord? Perhaps just to view the discussions as a learning experience.

[@ARKc95]

Mark, I just want to say that as this channel grows-and it will, because it provides truly valuable insights-trolls will inevitably show up. These people exist, and some genuinely enjoy trolling. I used to know someone in my own circle who does it. Even if they believe what’s being said, they still troll (not referring to this channel specifically, but in general) simply because they find amusement in it. That’s why I believe their words shouldn’t be taken seriously. Their goal is neither to learn through discussion nor to defend their own views; it’s simply to provoke and irritate. Please don’t let them get to you. I also wanted to touch on something you mentioned before. Yes, it's not easy to give weight to every comment because you never truly know who's behind the screen. However, a person's level often becomes clear through their writing. Just look at the way they express themselves. There’s a saying in my language: 'Form takes precedence over substance.' I think it’s highly relevant here.

[@SR-gt350]

You could have used screw piles instead of concrete piles.

[@brianfromdenmark1204]

Think you deleted one of my comments once - now I gotta admit that your "show" is my favourite. Why is it even possible to find that level of quality for free - without sponsor talks?

Let’s go

27:00 I heard on Bloomberg the other day that DeepSeek is like a CFA candidate that passed the exam by only doing the practice questions 😂

waste of time discussing comments from such ppl

EV's are $$$hit....Goodluck driving in Saskatchewan in the winters.....Ive seen them and the windows are fogged or they are left on the side of the road waiting a toe truck because their distance on a charge is reduced to less than half. Their cost per kilometer is double that of gas or diesel.

[@vancouvergirlBC]

I think that the person you refer to at the beginning was a troll. We can all see through him. Personally, I enjoy your take on politics too and if I don't agree with your opinions (rare) it challenges my own which I appreciate. Thanks again for all your amazing content.

[@imfromtoronto]

Why spend time on trolls. Just ignore'm. Lefties be lefites.

[@aces4873]

Laughably insecure

[@camdavignon954]

Please exclude any discussion that does not conceivably belong within a “market outlook” and subsequent Q&A. Start another channel if needed.

[@dantesfinferno7248]

I like hearing his opinions. If you don't you can always skip ahead

[@brindynschultz]

The issue I have with this is that the markets and politics are very connected. If evidence begins to surmount that the virus originated in China from a lab leak, Trump may use that as fuel to apply Tariffs on China, which would greatly affect the markets.

[@camdavignon954]

@@dantesfinferno7248 you’re right

[@camdavignon954]

@@brindynschultz I think it’s fair for Mark to have brought it up in the initial market outlook video, but his protracted response in this video feels like a waste of time
