Episode 27: Why MAGA Is Terrible For Equities. With Harris Kupperman.

In this special edition of Talking Markets, Maggie Lake is joined by Praetorian Capital Management Founder and CIO Harris Kupperman to discuss the potential shift from US dominance to compelling opportunities in international markets. Kuppy shares why the US has been a capital "capacitor," why he's bullish LatAm, why Europe is an "emerging market," why MAGA may be bad for US equities but good for US nominal GDP, and a TON more. This is Kuppy at his candid, incisive, and wildly entertaining best.
