I Love This Game: Doomers, Bears, and Lockout Rallies

Rare Air: Pullbacks, Fed Chairs, and Narrative Violations

In this episode, Robert argues that investors can acknowledge parts of the AI boom look excessive while still participating profitably. He discusses why some AI-related stocks may experience sharp pullbacks, but notes that current market conditions still look far different from the final stages of historic bubbles. He revisits his framework of owning long-term AI "toll roads" while tactically trading AI "shovel sellers," and explains why he believes the broader AI narrative could eventually shift from fear and skepticism toward productivity, infrastructure, and economic benefits. The episode also covers market reactions to a stronger-than-expected jobs report, thoughts on a potential Fed leadership transition, and how he is managing cash and positioning during the current tech pullback.

Lost in the Sauce: $DELL, SpaceX, and 100 Year Plans

Are we in the middle of one of the greatest bull markets of our lifetime? In this episode, Robert Ross zooms out from the daily noise around earnings, Fed meetings, wars, tariffs, oil shocks, and market volatility to explain his “100-year market cycle” framework. Since the Great Depression, stocks have moved through long secular bull and bear markets, with each major bull cycle powered by a new wave of economic development. Today, Robert argues that artificial intelligence is the force driving the next phase of this secular bull market. He explains why this looks more like the middle of a long-term cycle than the end, why earnings growth matters more than bubble narratives, and why the S&P 500 could have far more upside if this cycle resembles previous bull markets. He also answers a listener question about whether massive SpaceX and OpenAI IPOs could mark a market top, discusses why he avoids hyped IPOs at launch, and closes with a reminder to ride the bull market without getting reckless.

Bears are Zoo Animals: Nvidia, Kevin Warsh, and the Toll Road of the Future

In this episode, Robert explores the difference between companies building lasting AI moats versus those simply benefiting from temporary demand surges during the current boom. Using historical parallels, he explains how investors can think about “toll road” businesses versus “shovel sellers,” and why that distinction matters for long-term positioning. He also discusses how he’s approaching AI exposure in the current market, why price action still matters more than narratives, and what ongoing pessimism among investors may be signaling about the broader rally.

Put Up or Shut Up: Tech Earnings, AI Doomers, and The Only Thing That Matters

In this episode, Robert breaks down a pivotal week for the AI trade, where strong earnings and real revenue growth challenged many bearish narratives. He explains what these results signal about the current cycle, why market reactions matter more than opinions, and how he’s thinking about positioning after such a powerful move. He also touches on where opportunities may still exist, how to interpret sentiment and momentum after a sharp rally, and why respecting price action remains central to his approach in fast-moving markets.

Up And to the Right: AI Tokens, Nuclear War, and the One That Got Away

In this episode, Robert challenges the idea that today’s market mirrors past bubbles and explains why the current AI cycle may be earlier than most believe. He breaks down the shift from heavy spending to real usage, why that distinction matters, and how it’s shaping his investment approach. He also covers how he’s thinking about opportunities within the AI ecosystem, the difference between broad exposure and more targeted plays, and key factors he’s watching in the near term. The episode closes with thoughts on risk management, common investor mistakes, and why mindset plays a bigger role than most people realize.
