8 dated public stances tracked since 2025-10-15, most recently 2025-10-15. 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 Peter Tchir'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. Peter Tchir 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.

RARE EARTH / CRITICAL MINERALS PROCESSING COMPANIES
bullish
Wealthion · video
China controls ~90% of rare earth refining and is weaponizing that leverage, forcing a US 'production for security' buildout that will be the decade's dominant investment theme — the new ESG — with a 3-to-7-year runway of capital deployment
“this production for security might be the new ESG”

INTC
bullish
Wealthion · video
Trump's 10% stake in Intel and desire to win the chip competition means the administration will actively steer business toward Intel, providing a durable political tailwind
“I suspect he is going to be either softly or more aggressively suggesting people, hey, you need to use Intel”
90d +27.3% · 180d +75.5%

ENERGY
bullish
Wealthion · video
Large-cap energy majors have the global extraction expertise to be pulled into the rare-earth and critical-mineral security buildout, and the market hasn't yet priced that rerating
“these companies and the large cap, they're experts at extracting minerals and resources from the ground globally”

bullish
Wealthion · video
The Trump administration is fully committed to making the US the crypto capital of the world and you do not want to bet against a determined president on a goal he has decided to pursue

ETH
bullish
Wealthion · video
Ethereum has the highest upside among crypto assets because it is the most credible foundational layer for stablecoin infrastructure and broader technology use cases under the current regulatory environment
“I lean towards ETH right now...I feel that has the most potential maximum upside”
90d -19.3% · 180d -42.8%

Crypto Other
bullish
Wealthion · video
Stablecoins extend US dollar dominance globally and will structurally require large-scale treasury purchases, making stablecoin technology infrastructure a growth sector backed by explicit administration policy
“I think the stable coins are going to be a big part”

short MONEY MARKET FUNDS / long Long Dur Treasuries
pair
Wealthion · video
With inflation not a runaway concern, investors should rotate out of money markets into the longer end of the yield curve, which will additionally benefit from stablecoin-driven structural demand for short-to-medium treasuries
“I would be less in money markets. I'd be more aggressively either in the longer end of the yield curve”
