Sorry, Bubble Bears: Big Tech Just Proved the Bulls Right

This week on The Big Skinny, Lou Basenese cuts through the noise after a monster week of earnings from most of the Mag 7 and asks what investors should really take away. The answer: AI demand is real, cloud demand is compounding, and Big Tech is still buying the most valuable real estate of the next decade. Lou breaks down why Alphabet (GOOGL) stands out, why the capex skeptics are missing the plot, and what this quarter says about the next phase of the AI cycle. Alongside Bob Elliott and Mike Zaccardi, Lou also digs into the “boomcession,” the market’s strange comfort with high oil, why software has lagged semis so badly, and what might finally unwind that trade. Then in Headlines & Headscratchers, Lou and Dodd hit Google, Apple, crypto, prediction markets, the best movies ever, and the little market stories that may be telling a bigger truth.

Lies, Damn Lies & the Mag 7

This week on The Big Skinny, Lou Basenese cuts through the noise surrounding the Mag 7 and asks a simple question: is Big Tech really as dominant as the narrative suggests — or is the market already starting to broaden out? With Nvidia responsible for an outsized share of earnings revisions, Lou explains how one stock can distort the whole picture — and create opportunity elsewhere. Joining Lou live is Keith Fitz-Gerald, who weighs in on the future of the AI trade, what investors may be missing in Apple’s evolving AI and hardware strategy, and whether mega-cap tech still deserves its premium. Lou also shares key clips from Adam Johnson on where investors should be looking next. Plus, Lou and Dodd run through Tim Cook succession chatter, AI-powered startup creation, Harry Dent’s “everything bubble,” and the small-cap breakout that keeps forcing bears to rethink the story.

Volatility, Valuation & the Debasement Trade

This week on The Big Skinny, Lou Basenese asks a timely question: if markets are headed into another storm, what should investors actually own? From bear-market scares and oil-price shocks to inflation jitters and dollar-debasement chatter, Lou breaks down the volatility that’s driving headlines — and the opportunities those headlines may be masking. He also shares excerpts from his latest interview with David Dziekanski of Quantify Funds, who explains why the real debasement risk may not be where most investors think, and why the smartest way to play this environment may be through diversified, stacked exposure to assets like gold and Bitcoin. Plus, Lou digs into sector rotation, the case for financials, Apple’s latest AI flex, the future of autonomous drone warfare, and why some of the market’s most exciting IPO chatter may still come with a giant asterisk.

AI’s Collision Course: Power, Labor & the Next Big Winners

This week on The Big Skinny, Lou Basenese asks a bigger question than whether AI is a bubble: what happens when the boom runs headfirst into reality? Lou breaks down why the next phase of the AI trade won’t be decided by chatbots or software demos, but by oil, electricity, workers, and the physical infrastructure needed to keep the whole machine running. Lou also tackles where opportunity is showing up now: energy stocks, AI-power beneficiaries, and the companies positioned to solve labor and infrastructure bottlenecks. Then in Headlines & Headscratchers, Lou and Dodd dig into why most companies still aren’t changing how they work, what dot-com-style thinking gets wrong, and the offbeat themes percolating beneath the surface. No fluff. No fear-mongering. Just a fun and profitable data-driven look at what happens when AI collides with reality.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
