6/2/2026 - Is the SpaceX IPO a sign that the market is in a bubble? What’s the best habit for keeping emotions out of money decisions?

Phil, Mike, and Larry discuss the market capitalization of SpaceX’s initial public offering, about $1.75 trillion, and its ridiculous price-to-sales ratio of 93.7, with the 81% rise in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index this year, and wonder if this means the market is in a bubble? They then talk about the stock market hitting new highs vs. how investors feel about the market and the economy, and ask what’s the single best habit for keeping emotions out of money decisions.

5/5/2026 - How will rising inflation change consumer spending contributions to GDP? Do deficits matter?

Phil, Mike, and Larry discuss while gross domestic product grew 2% in the first quarter, the geopolitical situation risks tempering growth as inflation-weary consumers become more guarded, and how will this change the consumer spending contribution to GDP. They then talk about whether deficits matter after Fitch Ratings warned the market that the US’s credit rating faces the challenges of a widening deficit that leaves its debt burden “far above” other nations that share its AA score.
