FSD: Huang Huang Bang Bang — Lumida Wealth : Non-Consensus Invest Beyond the Ordinary

Ram recaps his podcast conversation with Patrick McHenry, the former chair of the House Financial Services Committee, and opens with the NVIDIA espionage story behind the New York Post headline.

On NVIDIA, he asks what the espionage may really have been after, explains why stolen chip designs lose value fast, and lays out the export-control bear case, while arguing the stock still looks cheap on earnings.

On politics and policy: why unaffiliated voters and unstable party coalitions point to more policy and market volatility, how centrist Democratic candidates won, the outlook for a credit card rate cap and the Credit Card Competition Act, and why school choice and verifiable skill badges could fix education.

He closes on market positioning, with hedge fund exposure and put buying at extremes.
