5 dated public stances tracked since 2025-03-06, most recently 2025-04-14. Each line carries the date and the venue it came from; quotation marks mean verbatim. Methodology.
The stances below are c8alpha's editorial distillation of John Hathaway'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. John Hathaway 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.
Scored calls

MAGNIFICENT 7
bearish
Wealthion · video
The AI-stock bubble in the Magnificent 7 is beginning to deflate, which will force Western capital to reallocate from equities toward gold.

Gold Miners
bullish
Wealthion · video
Gold miners are severely undervalued on EV/cash flow and ROIC metrics while free cash flow is breaking out, valuations are near multi-year lows despite gold at $2,800+, and any generalist capital inflow into a small market-cap space (~$200-300B) would produce…

bullish

MAGNIFICENT 7 / AI MEGA-CAP TECH
bearish
Wealthion · video

CRYPTOCURRENCY
bearish
Wealthion · video
Crypto (with AUM now matching gold-backed ETFs in the trillions) is part of the same investment bubble as Mag 7 and credit; a crypto unwind would redirect speculative capital into gold as the credible monetary alternative
