Investor and author Chris Camillo joins Vlad to break down how he turned $20,000 into $2 million by finding market signals Wall Street overlooked. Camillo, known for *Laughing at Wall Street* and his rise on Covestor, explains how “social arbitrage” helped him spot trades in Uggs, True Religion, FDA drug trials, breakthrough immunotherapy, Amazon AWS, and Salesforce before they became obvious to institutional investors.

He also shares why traditional Wall Street often misses major cultural shifts driven by women, young people, and underrepresented consumers. From tracking Facebook groups for pharma insights to reading Reddit developer forums on cloud computing, Camillo shows how online conversations can reveal real-world adoption early. The discussion highlights his famous bralette thesis: a shift away from Victoria’s Secret push-up bras toward Aerie and wire-free styles that signaled a larger change in consumer taste. A sharp look at investing, culture, social media, and trend spotting.
