Podcasts about bear case

AI coding is in full-blown gold-rush mode, and GitHub sits at the epicenter. In this episode, GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke tells Matt Turck how a $7.5 B acquisition in 2018 became a $2 B ARR rocket ship, and reveals how Copilot was born from a secret AI strategy years before anyone else saw the opportunity.We dig into the dizzying pace of AI innovation: why developer tools are suddenly the fastest-growing startups in history, how GitHub's multi-model approach (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude 4, Gemini 2.5, and even local LLMs) gives you more choice and speed, and why fine-tuning models might be overrated. Thomas explains how Copilot keeps you in the “magic flow state,” how even middle schoolers are using it to hack Minecraft. The conversation then zooms out to the competitive battlefield: Cursor's $10 B valuation, Mistral's new code model, and a wave of AI-native IDE forks vying for developer mind-share. We discuss why 2025's “coding agents” could soon handle 90 % of the world's code, the survival of SaaS and why the future of coding is about managing agents, not just writing code.GitHubWebsite - https://github.com/X/Twitter - https://x.com/githubThomas DohmkeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtomX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/ashtomFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) Intro (01:50) Why AI Coding Is Ground Zero for Generative AI (02:40) The $7.5B GitHub Acquisition: Microsoft's Strategic Play (06:21) GitHub's Role in the Azure Cloud Ecosystem (10:25) How GitHub Copilot Beat Everyone to Market (16:09) Copilot & VS Code Explained for Non-Developers (21:02) GitHub Models: Multi-Model Choice and What It Means (25:31) The Reality of Fine-Tuning AI Models for Enterprise (29:13) The Dizzying Pace and Political Economy of AI Coding Tools (36:58) Competing and Partnering: Microsoft's Unique AI Strategy (41:29) Does Microsoft Limit Copilot's AI-Native Potential?

This isn't really a "timeline", as such – I don't know the timings – but this is my current, fairly optimistic take on where we're heading.I'm not fully committed to this model yet: I'm still on the lookout for more agents and inference-time scaling later this year. But Deep Research, Claude 3.7, Claude Code, Grok 3, and GPT-4.5 have turned out largely in line with these expectations[1], and this is my current baseline prediction. The Current Paradigm: I'm Tucking In to SleepI expect that none of the currently known avenues of capability advancement are sufficient to get us to AGI[2]. I don't want to say the pretraining will "plateau", as such, I do expect continued progress. But the dimensions along which the progress happens are going to decouple from the intuitive "getting generally smarter" metric, and will face steep diminishing returns.

The big things you need to know: First, we review our basic framework for thinking about drawdowns in US equities, a topic that's been coming up in client meetings over the past few weeks, as investor uncertainty regarding the economy has increased. Second, we have refreshed the math behind our YE 2025 bear case of 5,775, specifically our valuation/EPS stress test. Third, we run through our latest updates on the vibes breakdown in the US, where investor sentiment has plunged to crisis lows on one key metric. Fourth, some of our work suggests opportunity is opening up in Small Caps, though we think it's too early to go overweight.

Chris Vermeulen warns investors to expect a "pretty big" market correction sometime this year. He believes correction concerns can be seen in a rotation out of Nvidia (NVDA) ahead of its earnings. Chris makes the bear case for gold by saying "most upside is done" for metals. Small caps are another corner of the market he thinks bulls should steer clear of as the Russell 2000 trades in negative territory so far in 2025.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Today's slide deck: https://bit.ly/417UZv0   - While we have made the USD bear case to materialize at some point, we don't have much in the way of confirmation that it will arrive sooner rather than later, even if USDJPY may have posted a significant top. Today, a look at what is needed to get that confirmation while also running through the news of the day and what to watch for next across asset classes. Hosting today's podcast is John J. Hardy, Global Head of Macro Strategy.   Read daily in-depth market updates from the Saxo Market Call and SaxoStrats Market Strategy Team here.

Today's slide deck: https://bit.ly/3ECSW9o   - Today, we round up Amazon.com's results and the refrain we are hearing from them that rhymes with Meta, Microsoft and Alphabet's complaints on capacity constraints and the need for massive further capital expenditures to build out data centers. And that being the case, how to position the DeepSeek news? Also on this podcast, Macro Strategist John J. Hardy lays out the US dollar bearish case as the US government will find that its chief priority is getting its fiscal house in order.

Despite a strong earnings beat, PayPal (PYPL) sold off on Tuesday. Dan Dolev says the company "fed the bear case" to investors on a silver spoon, but it can get bulls back by pivoting its focus to international markets. He still tells investors, "buy the dip," believing the company is poised to hit $100. Dan later notes other companies he considers buys in fintech like Block Inc. (XYZ) and Affirm (AFRM). ======== Schwab Network ======== Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

The U.S. reportedly delayed its 25% tariffs on Mexico by a month as President Trump discusses Canada's tariffs with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Vincent Deluard believes the unpredictability of tariffs will damage the U.S. markets long-term. He expects stocks to turn bearish as early as the spring in a market "vulnerable to correction." ======== Schwab Network ======== Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In this episode, Roshan and Adrian discuss the bear and bull cases for small cap stocks. The bear case highlights the underperformance of small caps compared to large caps, the investments made by big companies in areas like AI and electric vehicles, and the impact of a low interest rate environment. On the other hand, the bull case emphasizes the valuation advantage of small caps, the potential for rate cuts to boost earnings, and the economic gains from reshoring and infrastructure investments.
