The stances below are c8alpha's editorial distillation of Alan Hibbard's public commentary — television, podcasts, and interviews — compiled by automated transcript analysis and dated to the episode they came from. They may lag the speaker's current view and may contain extraction errors. Text in quotation marks is verbatim from the episode; everything else is our paraphrase. Alan Hibbard is not affiliated with c8alpha and has not endorsed this page. Nothing here is investment advice.
Raw direction-aware returns on public statements — long calls credited when the price rose, shorts when it fell, shorts capped at −100% — in a rising market this mostly measures who was long, not who has skill. Returns run from the stance date; calls are rarely closed publicly, so fixed 90-day / 180-day / 1-year horizons are used. A horizon shows only once it has fully matured, and only at 5+ scored stances. “% correct” is the share of those scored calls whose direction-aware return was positive at the horizon — in a rising market a bullish call is correct by default, so read it beside the market, not alone.
Every tracked call with at least one matured horizon: the rows behind the Returns
line above. A dash is a horizon that has not matured yet.
Where the tracked view on a theme reversed between appearances —
bullish to bearish or back. Dates are the episodes on each side of the turn.

Bitcoin is decentralized like gold and silver, technically trades with a repeating fractal rounded-bottom-then-vertical pattern (not as a risk asset), and represents a high-conviction bet that the world will adopt it as digital gold — justifying a full…

Gold is the decentralized monetary foundation suited for capital preservation — particularly for risk-averse or older investors — and forms the 'bread and butter' anchor of a portfolio of hard, censorship-resistant assets alongside silver and Bitcoin.
“I personally have started with an allocation to gold. That was my bread and butter”

SILVER

A five-year structural supply deficit — industrial demand from EVs, solar panels, and consumer electronics exceeds annual mine production — combined with reviving monetary/investment demand sets up a parabolic move analogous to silver's 1979 8x run, with…

The Dow/gold, S&P/gold, and NASDAQ/gold ratios are all above their long-term historical averages and trending down; mean reversion historically overshoots to the other side, implying gold outperforms major equity indices by a factor of 6-8x over the next…

Sustained negative real interest rates (same driver as the 1970s bull market) combined with central-bank net buying since 2014, capital rotating out of equities, and Dow/gold ratio well above its long-term average of 8 all point to continued gold…

Altcoins are centralized, offer no claim on profits (unlike equity), require flawless execution across team, marketing, legal, and perception — a single point of failure (e.g., a founding-team member selling to cover medical bills) can destroy 99.9% of value…
