Peccatiello shared his comments on possible investment tools
Peccatiello said, “This is an environment where you have nowhere to hide. “You can’t buy stocks, you can’t buy gold, you can’t buy Bitcoin,” he said.

Peccatiello states that he takes a short position in stocks, especially technology stocks. He also mentions that the S&P 500 will drop its trade to 10 percent lower than current levels this year.
