Today’s Market = 1999 Capex + 2008 Credit – Ep 298 Jul 31, 2026 I wrote in the past that the AI rollout feels a lot like déjà vu of the 1999 telecom bubble.

You are not as smart as you think you are – Ep 295
You are not as smart as you think you are – Ep 295 Jul 10, 2026 Lately, I’ve been getting this powerful feeling that everything I touch turns to gold. Every time I buy a stock, it goes up.

What to Do When a Stock Drops 25% – Ep 291 May 28, 2026 Stock XYZ has declined 25%. What do you think? Is your thesis broken? What you observe in stock price volatility is mostly noise.
