Is geothermal the next big energy trade of the AI era? Former hedge fund analyst Gabe Marshank explains why enhanced geothermal energy could become the most overlooked investment opportunity in power markets, and how fracking technology finally made it economic. On this episode of Unusual Bets, host Arthur Ballesteros sits down with Gabe Marshank, author of the Market Maven newsletter at MarketWise. Gabe called the nuclear power trade early through Talen Energy. Now he lays out his thesis on enhanced geothermal systems (EGS): a 24/7, carbon-free power source with near-zero fuel costs, arriving just as AI data centers push electricity demand to record highs.

Antonio Linares, the investor who bought AMD at $4 and Palantir at $7 thinks Hims & Hers (HIMS) is building the world's AI doctor and Duolingo (DUOL) the world's AI tutor. On this episode of Unusual Bets, he explains why he believes both could become trillion-dollar companies.

Host Arthur Ballesteros digs into Antonio's thesis that proprietary data is the biggest moat of the AI era. They get into Hims & Hers' closed-loop healthcare platform, Duolingo's gamified learning data, the peptide and longevity boom, falling GLP-1 prices, and why Antonio thinks big pharma missed all of it. Antonio also covers health data privacy, the dystopian side of digital twins, why AMD's chiplets could win the next phase of AI compute, his biggest misses, and his $2,000 per share intrinsic value target for HIMS by 2030.

Is the AI boom a bubble, or are we just getting started? Wall Street tech analyst Dan Ives says we're only in the third inning, about 15% of the way through a 10–12 year AI build-out, and that investors are still underestimating it. On this episode of Unusual Bets, host Arthur Ballesteros sits down with Dan Ives, partner and senior managing director at Yorkville Ives and one of Wall Street's best-known tech analysts with 25+ years covering the sector. Dan makes his case for a multi-year tech bull market. He explains why today looks nothing like the dot-com bubble, where the bears have a point, and why he thinks the ""SaaSpocalypse"" fears were overblown."
