This is a wide-ranging interview with seasoned market and financial professional George Noble. He was the former manager of the Fidelity Overseas Fund, which became the #1 mutual fund in America, and a longtime assistant to Peter Lynch,
He’s as critical as I am about the Fed’s constant liquidity injections to “save the markets,” which have, instead, turned them into rampant casinos where capital is being misallocated on a scale never before seen in history.
Case in point would be the AI CapEx spending bubble. George believes the bursting of the AI bubble will be both destructive and become the reason for more Fed interventions. You know, to “save the markets.”
Fed Motto, probably: We have to kill the market to save the market.
But there’s always a bull market somewhere, and George is strongly bullish on energy equities, oil, metals (gold, silver, copper), and resources.
His reasons include chronic underinvestment, depletion rates, geopolitical shocks (Middle East, Russia-Ukraine infrastructure hits), and SPR drains. Oil is “incredibly cheap” when viewed through the gold/oil ratio as well as fundamentals.
His specific calls:
-
- If you must be in the indexes, run from cap-weighted S&P (with its heavy tech exposure) and toward equal-weighted indices and real assets.
- Energy is currently ~3.5% of S&P but is a disproportionate portion of the S&P’s free cash flow; therefore, increase allocations significantly.
- Harsh critique of Tesla (cumulative profits ~$38B vs. ~$1.6T market cap) and especially SpaceX (massive overvaluation at ~$1.7T, low float with major unlocks ahead, structured for insider exits). Avoid these like the plague.
George is hosting an online webinar with 15 elite investors presenting in rapid-fire format for $99. As a courtesy, I told him I’d gladly help promote it. Here’s a link to check out the webinar if you are interested [link to Noble webinar]. He’s got some pretty talented folks lined up.
