Patrick O’Shaughnessy sits down with Dan Loeb, the legendary investor and founder of Third Point. Dan shares his incredible evolution from a deep-value, event-driven credit investor to a dynamic capital allocator spanning equities, venture capital, and private credit. They dive into the current macro environment, focusing heavily on the transformative power of AI, semiconductors, and energy. Dan also unpacks his most memorable activist campaigns, including Sotheby’s and Sony, and explains what makes a truly great corporate governance structure. Additionally, he reveals the painful lessons learned from the FTX collapse, the genius of the Danaher business system, and how his firm uses reinsurance to drive growth. This is a masterclass in market adaptation, continuous improvement, and the enduring value of human connection in finance.

"Would be better allies than NATO"
What an idiotic comment. What a clown.
Laz
too many jewish riches having degraded into on top of the world above everyone like in their ugly towers from which their actions create problems for a whole bunch while they blame the same bunch, so it's good if their status gets dismantled, you cannot lie away your darkness

Better allies than NATO? What about not threatening to occupy Greenland by military force for example… Does this guy read the papers even? Nobody can trust the US anymore. The good thing is, that EU/Europe finally got it, that the US is not to be trusted and we have to build our own defense technology
This felt like a strategy session with a mentor. Much appreciated!
His fund will drop alot.
You have a real talent.
