David Barse Founder & CEO, XOUT Capital
In today's macroeconomic environment, investors are looking for both safe haven assets and ways to grow wealth. Two investors, Alex Mashinsky, CEO of Celsius Network, and David Barse, CEO of XOUT Capital, discuss different approaches to achieving those goals.Barse sees value in equities right now, preferring to remove "loser" stocks from the portfolio rather than construct a portfolio by picking individual "winners." His XOUT index does exactly that and has so far outperformed the S&P 500 benchmark since inception. Barse sees gold as a way to preserve wealth, not to grow it.Mashinsky is more bullish on gold, as well as cryptocurrencies. He views gold and bitcoin as the ultimate insurance assets against an economic "Armageddon", especially during a time when the Federal Reserve has injected historic levels of monetary stimulus into the economy. He dislikes fixed income products during this period of low real rates.
