The Best Ways to Invest in the Run It Hot Economy
Money Tree Investing
We're in the middle of a run it hot economy. Today our discussion ranged from geopolitics into markets, including precious metals. Silver’s recent surge is best understood as a reversion toward historical gold–silver ratios rather than a knowable fundamental catalyst. Silver’s parabolic move looks unstable compared to gold’s healthier, slower uptrend. But no one can truly know why prices move, so investors should be clear about why they own precious metals since that purpose should drive allocation size and risk tolerance. We also talk macro conditions, the U.S. may be pursuing an...

info_outlineHave you thought about investing into space? Mark Boggett, CEO of Seraphim, shares the investment opportunities in the rapidly expanding space industry. He explains how innovations led by SpaceX dramatically lowered launch costs and increased access to space, catalyzing growth in satellite constellations and data-driven applications for defense, climate, and communications. He emphasizes that near-term investment potential lies in defense and climate-related uses of satellite data, rather than speculative ventures like space travel or asteroid mining. He also highlights the growing importance of sustainability, debris management, and more.
We discuss...
- Mark Boggett is a career technology investor who founded Seraphim Space, the world’s first space-focused investment fund.
- Seraphim Space operates a global accelerator, a private venture fund, and a publicly listed growth fund on the London Stock Exchange.
- Boggett shifted focus to space investing after recognizing how technologies like AI, telecommunications, and 3D printing were transforming the sector.
- SpaceX revolutionized space access by reducing launch costs from $86,000 to $1,000 per kilogram and dramatically increasing launch frequency.
- Smaller, cheaper satellites now enable massive constellations that provide real-time Earth observation and global connectivity.
- Investment opportunities in space fall into three categories: upstream (launch and satellites), downstream (data and applications), and in-space (future lunar and interplanetary activities).
- The most investable areas today are defense and climate-related satellite data applications rather than speculative space travel or mining.
- The falling cost of launch is paving the way for large-scale space infrastructure, including future data centers powered by solar energy.
- Space debris is an emerging challenge, driving new industries focused on monitoring, avoiding, and removing defunct satellites.
- Regulatory changes now require satellite operators to deorbit defunct satellites within five years, accelerating growth in orbital cleanup services.
- Defense is a major driver of demand for satellite technology in intelligence, communications, navigation, and asset protection.
- The “in-space” category includes lunar landers, space stations, and eventual habitation or mining ventures, though these remain long-term prospects.
- NASA’s new funding model relies on private companies like Axiom Space and Voyager to build commercial space stations.
- Boggett concludes that while long-term prospects like lunar mining are exciting, the current trillion-dollar opportunity lies in satellites, data, and communication serving Earth-based customers.
