Hedge-fund manager Boaz Weinstein says meme stock rally makes ‘mockery’ of investing The meme stock craze is back, but hedge-fund titan Boaz Weinstein said he wants nothing to do with it. Weinstein, the founder and chief investment officer of Saba Capital Management, said that although traders could make money by riding the mania around certain meme stocks, it isn’t truly investing and undermines the challenges endured by more focused investors. “It’s bewildering,” he told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Tuesday morning. “We want to make 10%, we want to make 15% – [when] you see something that’s up 100% [but] you don’t know why, it feels great because it’s up, not down for those who have it; but it certainly in some ways, you could say, makes a mockery of the challenge of investing.” “It can’t be justified on anything other than pure speculation,” he added. “Why today, why not a million dollars a share? And so I look at it and I don’t understand it, and I don’t want any part of it.” GameStop shares surged by 110% on Tuesday, following a 74% advance on Monday. AMC soared 137%, extending a 100% gain the day before. Trading in both stocks was halted at one point Tuesday due to volatility. The resurgence of meme mania began late Sunday when “Roaring Kitty,” the man who first ignited the meme stock phenomenon through GameStop in 2021, posted on X for the first time since then. Beyond meme stocks, Weinstein said there’s sure to be plenty of volatility in the “foggy” market in the months to come, citing inflation, geopolitics and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. “The way things change – inflation, has it been kicked, are we going to have higher for longer? There’s a very heightened amount of uncertainty,” Weinstein said. “Just take the geopolitical skirmishes slash wars that we have. When you put all that together … we’re going to have a credit crunch in the next couple of years if things don’t change.” He also said if Donald Trump is elected again, it could affect the relationship between equity and fixed-income markets “quite a bit.” “Maybe in both cases, there’s going to be plenty of volatility, and I’m quite excited for it,” he added.

Investing in the stock market is one of the most effective ways to generate long-term wealth, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are a fantastic way to maximize your earnings with minimal effort. An ETF is a basket of securities grouped into a single investment. By investing in just one ETF, you'll instantly own a stake in dozens or even hundreds of different stocks -- making it nearly effortless to build a well-diversified portfolio. 1. Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) 2. Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) 3. Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG)

One of Wall Street’s favorite investment vehicles turned 25 years old on Sunday. But the fund shows no signs of fading to the background as it ages. The Invesco QQQ Trust, which tracks the Nasdaq-100 Index and is often referred to by its ticker QQQ or simply as “the Qs,” has become shorthand for growth stock investing since its launch on March 10, 1999. The fund now has about $250 billion in assets under management, making it the fifth biggest ETF in the United States, with about $7 billion in new inflows so far this year, according to FactSet. cnb.cx/3TfTxSa
