Reddit, Inc. (RDDT): Among Paul Tudor Jones' Stock Picks with Huge Upside Potential

We recently published an article titled Billionaire Paul Tudor Jones' 10 Stocks Picks with Huge Upside Potential. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Reddit, Inc. (NYSE:RDDT) stands against Paul Tudor Jones' other stock picks with huge upside potential.

It’s all gloomy regardless of what US President Donald Trump does. That’s the sentiment echoed by billionaire investor Paul Tudor Jones, who is taking issue with the aggressive tariffs aimed at settling the trade deficit between the US and its trading partners. While the US markets have pulled back by up to 8% in response to the tariff war woes, Jones believes the dust is unlikely to settle anytime soon.

The hedge fund manager insists stocks are bound to hit new lows even on Trump toning down on aggressive tariffs on China. That’s because macroeconomic conditions continue to deteriorate.

“For me, it’s pretty clear. You have Trump who’s locked in on tariffs. You have the Fed who’s locked in on not cutting rates. That’s not good for the stock market,” Jones said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “We’ll probably go down to new lows, even when Trump dials back China to 50%.”

The remarks come on Trump slapping 145% tariffs on imported Chinese goods as one of the ways of getting Beijing into the negotiation table. While the administration has hinted at the possibility of dialing it back to about 50% or 40%, Jones insists it will be too little too late.

“He’ll dial it back to 50% or 40%, whatever. Even when he does that ... it’d be the largest tax increases since the ’60s,” Jones said. “So you can kind of take 2%, 3% off growth.”

The tariff war has put the US central bank in a tight spot as it tries to balance interest rates amid a tariff war likely to spark inflation. The US Federal Reserve has had to keep its key overnight lending rate steady since December, on growing concerns that the trade war will trigger a significant spike in inflation. Fed chair Jerome Powell, insisting that policymakers wait for greater clarity, has not only rattled the markets but also triggered a backlash from the US president.

Amid the headwinds and uncertainties, Jones has positioned his portfolio to benefit from any bounce back once the selloff dust settles. Jones, who shot to fame on profiting from the 1987 market crash, has etched his name on Wall Street owing to his extraordinary ability to foresee market shifts and try to capitalize on them.

Jones has constantly reiterated the need to concentrate on risk management and protecting current investments during heightened market volatility. Instead of daydreaming about possible gains, he advises investors to spend 90% of their time considering the cash at risk in their investments.

“People need to focus on the money that they have at risk and how much capital is at risk in any single investment they have. If everyone spent 90% of their time on that, not 90% of the time on pie-in-the-sky ideas of how much money they're going to make, then they would be incredibly successful investors,” Jones said.
