Stan Druckenmiller, a billionaire, warns that cryptocurrency, meme stocks, and bonds are in a bubble.

Stan Druckenmiller, a billionaire investor, has warned that everything is in a bubble, specifically mentioning cryptocurrency, meme stocks, equities, and bonds. “This bubble is in everything, every asset on the planet,” Druckenmiller stated emphatically.

Last week, at the Boston Investment Conference, Stan Druckenmiller discussed bubbles and value investing with American billionaire investor and hedge fund manager Seth Klarman.

Duquesne Family Office LLC’s chairman and CEO is Stanley Druckenmiller. He was previously a managing director at Soros Fund Management, where he was in charge of funds with a total asset value of $22 billion. According to Forbes’ list of billionaires, his personal net worth is currently $6.8 billion, primarily in stocks, equities, and bonds. “This bubble is in everything, every asset on the planet,” Druckenmiller stated emphatically.

Klarman, the CEO of hedge fund Baupost Group, allegedly asked Stan Druckenmiller, “If the bond market is what everyone’s keying off of, and the bond market is in a bubble, then everything’s a bubble, is that fair?” Druckenmiller responded, saying:

Yeah, crypto, meme stocks, art, wine, equities … This bubble is in everything, every asset on the planet.

Stan Druckenmiller emphasized that the current bubble is not as narrow as the dot-com bubble. He added “Everybody tries to compare this with ’99. That was a bubble in technology and, in some sense, a well-deserved bubble because the market figured out 20 years ahead of time the networking effect and that companies could come out of nowhere and have 2 billion customers. But it was a very, very narrow bubble.”

Klarman went on to ask if there is anything that is not in a bubble and is undervalued. “You’re a value investor. I’m not,” Stan Druckenmiller responded. “I don’t know  what value means.” I’m sure there’s value out there, but I can’t see it because it’s not my methodology.”

The billionaire chairman of Duquesne Family Office maintained his position My North Star is every event in the world affects some security and I try to imagine the world as it is today and then try and see if there’s some kind of seismic change going on and how the world might look in 18 months. And if it does look that way, what are the securities that would be priced very differently than they are now?” He further opined:

I think a lot of investors live in the present, which is a disaster long term. It might work short term.

Druckenmiller revealed his ownership of bitcoin in November of last year, noting that the cryptocurrency was an appealing store of value that could outperform gold. He revealed in June of this year how he invested millions in Bitcoin after receiving a call from billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones about it.
