Send us a textGood Fortune Makes the Man, and The Man Retains the Fortune and Multiplies It...Welcome back to another transmission from paradise, broadcasting from the heavenly shores of St. Barts. The Acid Capitalist, beamed straight into your ears, sun-kissed and untamed. This week, I open the vault—pulling an old gem from my private paywall, unchaining it from Patreon and Substack for the first time. And trust me, this one is electric.The year is 2000. The stage is Wall Street. And our protagonist? Derek Wallis, The Kiwi Proton Bomb. Fresh off the boat, wide-eyed, an eager foot soldier on the trade floor. But what happens when the greenhorn is tasked with telling Stan Druckenmiller, the man, the legend, that he's just vaporized a billion dollars? Trial by fire? No—trial by inferno.And then there's George Soros—the erratic, the enigmatic, the Palindromic Genius. The man who stalks markets like a predator, who sees the bubbles before they even take shape, who vanishes for months only to reappear, calling the desk four times an hour. The hurricane around which entire fortunes rise and fall. And Derek? Derek's there. Watching. Learning. Surviving.Fast forward. 2005. The Acid Capitalist himself walks into Soros Fund Management—the room temperature drops, chairs scrape, portfolios tremble. Derek was there, they all were. And the chairman, in a moment of delirious clarity, utters the words: 'We've found the next George Soros.' Who was he talking about? Ah, that's where things get interesting…But it gets wilder—trading desks, chaos, the kind of madness that makes a market. You want the full story? You want to know about the topless woman who brought down the Bloomberg terminals? You want to hear the truth about how the world's greatest speculator saw bubbles, rode them, burst them? Then you'll want to listen to this one.Stay sharp,Hugh Hendry, The Acid CapitalistP.S. If you're asking 'What's the score?' every hour of the trading day, you're already lost. The markets whisper in static. But ask once a year, and if you're good—exceptionally good—the mirror, mirror on the wall might just reveal your genius.https://www.occupyajobonwallstreet.com/ ⬇️ Subscribe on Patreon or Substack for full episodes ⬇️https://www.patreon.com/HughHendryhttps://hughhendry.substack.comhttps://www.instagram.com/hughhendryofficialhttps://blancbleustbarts.comhttps://www.instagram.com/blancbleuofficial⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leave a five star review and comment on Apple Podcasts!

Hugh Hendry is an award-winning hedge fund manager, investment thought leader, and surfer. He founded Eclectica in 2005, a London-based global macro fund known for its high-conviction, contrarian approach. Shortly after launching Eclectica, Hugh gained recognition with impressive returns of 50% in its second year and over 30% in 2008 during the height of the Global Financial Crisis. Although Eclectica has since closed, Hugh remains an active and influential market commentator. Reflecting his commitment to creative freedom in investing, he once said, “I have always been a heretic and argued against the consensus. I have always been angry.” Join us for a lively discussion with Hugh as we explore today's investment landscape, hear his views on the U.S. election, his skepticism toward mainstream economic policies, and his belief in the value of reading broadly as a source of inspiration for business and investing.
Step into the dim glow of our dive bar of financial musings in the humid, Caribbean night air, where the ACID Capitalist, Hugh Hendry, the sardonic Brent Johnson (@SantiagoAuFund), and the ever-perceptive Tracy Shuchart (@chigrl) huddle over a table of half-empty glasses and half-baked theories. This is a raw, unfiltered exploration into the underbelly of macroeconomics. We wander through the shadowy corridors of USD fluctuations, peer into the abyss of interest rate procrastinations, and mull over the geopolitical chess moves of giants like the US, Japan, and China. The conversation flows like a blues riff, touching on the gritty realities of commodities and financial trends. Expect contrarian views and insights that cut through the noise, all served with a side of existential reflection. This is more than a podcast; it's a night at the bar with the sharpest minds in finance, pondering the chaos and beauty of the global market. Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join us for a conversation that's as unpredictable as it is enlightening.⬇️ Subscribe on Patreon or Substack for full episodes ⬇️https://www.patreon.com/HughHendryhttps://hughhendry.substack.com⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leave a five star review and comment on Apple Podcasts!

Hugh Hendry says the world is brimming with risks right now, from Chinese deflation, to the strength of the US dollar, to unrealized losses in US Treasuries held by the bank. In the new episode of the podcast, we speak with the former manager of the Eclectica hedge fund, who now writes and operates under the Acid Capitalist branding. Hendry, who now resides in St. Bart's, says that the most important story in the world, and for as long as he's been in markets, has been the rise of China, which he sees as inflating asset values all around the world. Specifically, he sees a broken model, in which the country's GDP grows rapidly, but domestic investments and household income don't keep up. He warns of a risk of a yuan devaluation, as the country seeks to maintain its export drive which, he warns would create "Mad Max" deflation. He also talks about the "terrifying" drop in the Japanese yen, and the unusual situation by which the US is one of the world's growth leaders. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hugh Hendry joins the Gold Exchange to talk about the underlying reasons for the coming banking crisis, the failure of the Yuan and the BRICS countries, and how the Fed is crucifying the common man.
Tom welcomes the fascinating new guest Hugh Hendry to the show. Hugh talks about the challenges of setting up a hedge fund today. He paints a picture of the current markets as fiercely volatile, particularly with unusual events occurring that are supposed to happen once in a century. Additionally, debt and debt expansion shows no signs of ending. Hugh reviews the implications of China predominantly using domestic financing and the effects of their surplus in global trades. He harkens back to the gold standard when it acted as successful high powered currency on an international level before the US Federal Reserve's involvement. The US now embraces debt to an unprecedented degree that is leading much of the world to a type of serfdom. Should a conflict occur between Taiwan and China, markets would suffer a massive increase in volatility with a likely negative outcome. Meanwhile in China, their GDP metrics have failed, and the world's economies are all in a state of decline. An example of this is the drop in financial sector stocks along with people fleeing banks to get to the 5% offered by the Fed. Hugh's view is that the 1934 Federal Reserve Act was made to mend the banking system, however, with current price deflation and reduced capital investment, it has been ineffective. Market stabilizers, such as short selling, also aren't able to prove as useful as before and capital controls remain a risk. He highlights the Marxist ideology that has resurfaced recently, as younger generations are no long seeing the promised level of success available to their parents. Hugh states we are in the “Fourth Depression”, and he breaks down how each of the previous three was resolved. Considering reasonable trades in relation to this environment, Hugh suggests considering Bitcoin as one of the few assets currently undervalued.

This week, we sat down with Hugh Hendry, the Founder and dynamic force behind Eclectica Macro. Hugh is a wildly successful former hedge fund manager and current St Barts luxury hotelier who fearlessly navigates the complexities of the financial world with creativity, innovation, vision, and style. Brace yourself for a conversation that defies convention and challenges your current beliefs on the market and the world.
“That probability [of banks freezing your money] like mercury is rising because we experienced the Fed folly,” says Hugh Hendry, former global macro hedge-fund manager. “The Fed hiking is the fastest with the greatest magnitude. They have never done this before,” he argues, explaining that rate hikes inherently destabilize the U.S. banking system as banks are no longer able to match the federal-funds rate. However, Hendry argues that the Fed's recent 25-basis-point increase shows the central bank has failed to learn from the ongoing banking crisis. “As banks are offering 5% CDs, their net interest margin now is heading to zero,” Hugh warns. Hugh compares central bank digital currencies with TikTok because the two elicit much debate but he doesn't see a legitimate reason for concerns. He concludes that de-dollarization is a “bluff” and doesn't treat it as an imminent threat.

Despite returning 50 percent in his fund's first calendar year, from the revival in the gold price back in 2003, it was not until 5 years later that he began to attract media attention when his fund achieved a 31.2 percent positive return in 2008 during the depths of the financial crisis, earning him a reputation as a contrarian investor.

Former hedge fund manager Hugh Hendry grew up working class in Glasgow, Scotland. His anxiety, detachment from money, and passionate observations of life led him to hypotheses and market positions others couldn't see. In 2008, when the rest of the world was melting down, Hugh's Eclectica Asset Management returned over 30%. As great as the money was, he says what drives him is a profound need to be loved. Today, Hugh develops property in St. Barths where he lives full time. In this conversation, Hugh shares anecdotes of Scottish thrift that will make you laugh, an honest description of how it feels to lose millions of other people's dollars, why closing his hedge fund felt “as if you've died in Mortal Kombat,” and why we should all be mindful of “the profound wrongness of today.” We spoke at the Stansberry Research conference in Boston in October.
Today's guest is Hugh Hendry, formerly the CIO of Eclectica Asset Management and now a luxury hotelier and host of The Acid Capitalist podcast. In today's episode, Hugh shares his thoughts on all the macro factors in the world today. He touches on inflation, energy markets, the dollar, the situation in China, and more. Be sure you stick around to hear why a dream about the Wizard of Oz led him to buy gold from the Bank of England. ----- Follow Meb on Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube For detailed show notes, click here To learn more about our funds and follow us, subscribe to our mailing list or visit us at cambriainvestments.com ----- Today's episode is sponsored by The Idea Farm.

We live in unique and highly uncertain times. Rates and FX markets - especially in the developed world -are experiencing volatility at levels associated with crisis. Central Banks are confronting an inflation problem not seen in decades and risk doing too much or too little. And the intersection of market prices and geopolitics is especially fraught. Against this backdrop, it was a pleasure to welcome Hugh Hendry to the Alpha Exchange.The founder of Eclectica Asset Management, a fund he ran from 2005 to 2017, Hugh is now a developer of high-end properties. But he's also spending a lot of time reading, thinking and reflecting. Our discussion reviews his time in asset management and his focus on original, uncorrelated trade construction. While sharing some of his success in spotting convex trade opportunities where the consensus broke, he also looks back on the long cycle of post crisis QE as a vol suppressor.With respect to the set of risks today, Hugh is keenly focused on China and presents a sobering analysis of vulnerabilities associated with an overvalued property sector and FX exchange rate adjustments. On the latter, he believes a cross-rate that should be watched is that between the Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan. Lastly, in contemplating extreme scenarios of "what-if", Hugh sees value in an extremely long-dated, far out of the money call on the S&P 500, a trade that could be explosive in a regime in which inflation, rates, volatility and nominal asset prices surge.I hope you enjoy this episode of the Alpha Exchange, my conversation with Hugh Hendry.

Hugh Hendry was the founder and Chief Investment Officer of the macro hedge fund Eclectica Asset Management. After strong returns before and during the Great Financial Crisis, he became a popular figure in the financial media. He retired in 2017 to run a luxury hotel in St Barts, but has lately been increasingly active in financial media, tweeting as @hendry_hugh (60k followers) and podcasting (The Acid Capitalist).
In this week's episode, returning guest Hugh Hendry joins Dan for another round at the Stansberry Investor Hour table... Hugh founded the now-defunct Eclectica Asset Management in 2005. He rose to fame as the "Scottish hedge-fund king" when his fund returned 30%-plus during the throes of the financial crisis. He's also well-known for his outspoken remarks and contrarian views. One time, he even duked it out with a Nobel Prize-winning economist on television, asking, "Um, hello? Can I tell you about the real world?" These days, Hugh entertains a wide audience with his wit and energetic market commentary in his podcast, The Acid Capitalist. Today's conversation begins with a bang, as Dan and Hugh tackle one of the biggest market headlines: the stock sell-off. Shares of "FAANG" giants like Netflix, Amazon, and Apple are tanking... And it's hard to see these behemoths – which were once among the best-performing tech companies in the world – as "risk free" businesses anymore. Instead, they could herald a recession. So, what does Hugh have to say on the matter? It's going to be really long, but it's going to be entertaining. Wear comfortable clothing. He and Dan chat about several other topics, including inflation's grim march, Bill Hwang's multibillion-dollar fraud indictment, the "malevolent shadow of the Federal Reserve" behind high prices in oil and mining industries, and bitcoin as a risk-on versus risk-off asset. No one is safe from Hugh's wisecracks – not even the ultrawealthy. In addition to financial topics, he shares his thoughts on Elon Musk's latest follies, the real reason Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos vacationed in St. Barts, and what he thinks of Johnny Depp's biggest purchase

For years 15 years, Hugh Hendry ran the hedge fund Eclectica Asset Management, earning a reputation as a provocative and contrarian thinker on the entire state of the world economy. These days though, he's living in St. Bart's, surfing, and managing luxury properties for the richest people in the world. But of course, he can't stop thinking about macro. On this episode off Odd Lots, Hendry joins Tracy Alloway and Joe Weisenthal to talk about Europe's big energy mistake, China's property troubles, and why even after all this time, the world can't get enough dollar assets.
