In this episode of Excess Returns, we're joined again by Dan Rasmussen of Verdad Advisors for a wide-ranging conversation that challenges some of the most popular narratives in markets today. From private equity and private credit risks to AI-driven capital cycles and overlooked opportunities in biotech and international equities, Dan offers a deeply research-driven perspective on where investors may be misallocating capital and where future returns could emerge. Alongside Justin and special guest co-host Kai Wu, the discussion connects valuation, incentives, and innovation in a market environment shaped by concentration, leverage, and technological change.Main topics covered• Why private equity performance continues to disappoint and where the biggest structural risks are emerging• The growing stress in private credit and what rising bankruptcies signal for lower middle-market deals• Why democratizing private equity through 401ks, interval funds, and ETFs may create more problems than solutions• How AI CapEx is changing the economics of Big Tech and why asset-light models may be getting worse, not better• The case for diversifying away from U.S. concentration toward international markets and international small value• Why bubbles are often necessary for innovation and how to think about AI through that historical lens• How investors may be underestimating valuation and growth bankruptcy risk in the Mag 7• Why biotech is one of the hardest sectors to model and how Verdad rebuilt its framework from scratch• How intangible value, clinical trial data, specialist ownership, and peer momentum can improve biotech investing• What capital starvation, M&A dynamics, and global competition mean for biotech's future returnsTimestamps00:00 Introduction and market narratives02:20 Revisiting private equity risks and performance06:58 Private credit stress and bankruptcy signals10:58 Private equity in 401ks and interval fund risks14:52 Private assets in ETFs and liquidity concerns15:45 Why bubbles drive innovation and capital formation20:13 AI CapEx, Mag 7 concentration, and valuation risk25:24 International diversification and market leadership29:41 Why Verdad turned to biotech research37:13 Rebuilding biotech valuation and quality metrics44:26 Clinical trial data and peer momentum insights49:17 Portfolio construction and long-short biotech strategies51:00 Capital starvation, AI, and biotech's setup53:58 Research culture, humility, and evolving quant models

US equity futures point to a firmer open, with Asian markets ended mixed and European equities trading solidly firmer. Markets remained in wait-and-see mode following the Federal Reserve's decision to keep policy rates unchanged, with two dovish dissents but Chair Powell signaling the Fed is likely to stay on hold for an extended period as inflation remains elevated and labor market conditions show signs of stabilization. Attention is shifting to upcoming Big Tech earnings, with a particular focus on cloud growth and capital expenditure guidance, after recent AI-related optimism lifted semiconductor stocks but failed to generate sustained broader market upside. The US dollar drew renewed scrutiny after Treasury Secretary Bessent reiterated support for a strong dollar policy, partially reversing the previous session's sharp decline, while escalating tensions with Iran continued to underpin strength in energy and precious metals markets.Companies Mentioned: NVIDIA, OpenAI, Robinhood Markets

From a fundamental standpoint, Steven Dickens remains "long-term bullish" on the AI trade even after Microsoft's (MSFT) stark sell-off Thursday. He talks about his discussions with tech and energy executives to offer insight into 2026's "buildout phase." Steven likes small and mid-sized software companies setting the foundation for strong earnings growth that supply AI demand "here and now." He taps IBM Corp. (IBM), Broadcom (AVGO), and Alphabet (GOOGL) as Big Tech firms to watch. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

What if the AI shaping your future didn't belong to Big Tech — but to you? In this eye-opening episode of Entrepreneurial Thinkers, Rob sits down with Matt Wright, co-founder and CEO of Gaia, to unpack the hidden power dynamics behind today's AI boom. From who really owns your data to how open-source AI could level the playing field, Matt explains why decentralization may be the key to a more ethical and human-centered tech future. Together, they explore how AI agents are already automating work, how individuals can build and control their own AI tools, and why community-owned models could change entrepreneurship forever. Whether you're a founder, creator, or just AI-curious, this conversation challenges you to rethink who AI works for — and how you can use it without giving up your privacy, autonomy, or voice.Feel free to follow and engage with MATT here:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewdavidwright/X: https://x.com/mateo_ventures?lang=enBusiness LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/gaianet-ai/Website: https://www.gaianet.ai/We're so grateful to you, our growing audience of entrepreneurs, investors and community leaders interested in the human stories of the Entrepreneurial Thinkers behind entrepreneurial economies worldwide.As always we hope you enjoy each episode and Like, Follow, Subscribe or share with your friends.

Toronto-based artist Kadhja Bonet recently released a short but powerful EP called Battlewear. Written just after Trump's re-election, it's a politically charged project that takes aim at tech giants, corporate greed, and streaming culture. Isabel Khalili speaks with Bonet about the rage and urgency behind the release, why she chose to leave Spotify and part ways with her label, her thoughts on social media, AI, and motherhood, and how stripping back her sound helped sharpen her message. “They really want us to think that we are beholden to the system,” Bonet says. “But we are not. We actually have this capacity to break free of this and start our own organic communities.”Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight for a broadcast that swings wildly from high-stakes legal battles to the neuroscience of footwear. This episode begins with a "Big Tobacco" moment for Big Tech, as Lionel and Lynn Shaw expose the addictive algorithms and AI toys threatening children. The conversation shifts to a war on the decline of the English language, the "fear-mongering" behind the Doomsday Clock, and why politicians like Eric Adams need to stop playing "dress-up" in emergency jackets. Broadcasting from a studio cold enough to "hang meat," Lionel tackles the neuroscience of duck boots, the conspiracy theories filling the public trust void, and the existence of Tom McAn. Finally, he dissects a "constitutional stunt" in Minneapolis regarding immigration, demands a RICO task force for Antifa, and recounts the gritty history of the East Village cannibal.

Markets finished Tuesday at fresh all-time highs as leadership rotated back into mega-cap stocks. After a strong run in small- and mid-caps, those areas are now short-term overbought and nearing sell signals, while the S&P 500 itself is triggering a buy signal at more favorable levels. Earnings expectations are elevated, and upside surprises from mega-cap technology are largely priced in. The market's reaction will hinge less on reported results and more on forward guidance—particularly outlooks for data center and AI-driven capital expenditures. With futures higher this morning, markets appear positioned for another strong open. However, leadership remains narrow, and the ongoing bifurcation between mega-cap growth and the rest of the market continues to warrant close attention to portfolio risk and positioning.

In this episode of Liftoff, Keith sat down with Arshavir Blackwell, PhD, AI researcher, founder, and author of The Creative Agency's Guide to AI, to unpack what's really happening behind today's AI boom.With decades of experience building neural networks—from Ask Jeeves to enterprise AI—Arshavir explains why most so-called “AI agents” still don't have real agency, why vertical focus is the only way startups can survive Big Tech competition, and how the next generation of companies will be smaller, faster, and radically more capital-efficient.They explored AI interpretability, local vs frontier models, privacy-first AI, and what founders should actually be building over the next 24 months.Connect with Arshavir Blackwell: - Newsletter: insidetheblackbox.ai- Book: tinyurl.com/creativeagencybook- App: yourvoicecraft.ai- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/arshavirblackwell Subscribe for more founder insights and hit the bell for notifications!

Data is the resource, and our lives are the territory. Ulises Mejias, co-author of Data Grab: The New Colonialism of Big Tech and How to Fight Back, reflects on data colonialism as a new social order that extends the extractive logic of historical colonialism into our everyday lives. Highlights include: How terms of digital service agreements, written in dense legalese, resemble past colonial proclamations to indigenous people intended to dispossess; How data colonialism, a system of continuous data extraction from our everyday lives, mirrors traditional colonialism in that both generate wealth for the few and enable new forms of social and behavioral control; Why colonialism was essential for the development of capitalism and remains central in understanding today's data-driven capitalism; How data colonialism uses the 4 X's of traditional colonialism - explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate - to move into new 'data territories' like education, health, agriculture, policing, and war; How both traditional and data colonialism use 'civilizing narratives' to justify their extraction and colonize peoples' minds; How AI amplifies the worst of bureaucratic proceduralism and the costs fall on the least powerful in society; What resistance to data colonialism can learn from resistance to traditional colonialism: working within the system, against the system, and beyond the system.

The podcast explores needed narrative, behavioral, and system shifts for recreating human life in balance with all life on Earth. With expert guests from wide-ranging disciplines, we examine the forces underlying overshoot: from patriarchal pronatalism that is fueling overpopulation, to growth-biased economic systems that lead to consumerism and social injustice, to the dominant worldview of human supremacy that subjugates animals and nature. Our vision of shrinking toward abundance inspires us to seek pathways of transformation that go beyond technological fixes toward a new humanity that honors our interconnectedness with all beings.  Hosted by Nandita Bajaj and Alan Ware.

The Trump administration's announcement of holding payments for Medicare Advantage plans flat sent healthcare-tied stocks in freefall. UnitedHealthcare (UNH) traded down 20% in premarket hours. Kevin Hincks explains that while healthcare is dragging down the Dow Jones, Big Tech is holding its own with Mag 7 earnings on the horizon. As metals "trade in their own world," Kevin notes that silver and gold are taking a pause alongside natural gas.

Angelo Zino sees Meta Platforms (META) moving the most off this week's round of Mag 7 earnings. He sees the stock on the cheaper side as it trades under 20-times earnings, though Shay Boloor warns the company needs to do more to diversify AI prospects. Though the company doesn't report this week, Shay's Mag 7 earnings pick is Amazon (AMZN) as he sees tremendous upside with AWS. Both Shay and Angelo like Alphabet's (GOOGL) Google Cloud but admit the stock has the "highest bar" to jump. ======== 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 – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

THE ESSENES who wrote the second section of the Book of 1 Enoch, chapters 37–71 (called The Book of Parables), foresaw a coming Savior called the Son of Man. This was a new doctrine for Jews in the 1st century AD. The Zadokite priesthood in Jerusalem believed that faithful adherence to the Law would redeem the world. The Essenes of the Upper Galilee taught that the world had been so corrupted by the rebellious Watchers that only God's direct intervention could make things right. 1 Enoch is the first Jewish writing to put forward this doctrine, and the first to called the agent of God's divine judgment the Anointed One, the Chosen One, and The Son of Man. And it's clear in the text that the Son of Man is God Himself: For this purpose he became the Chosen One; he was concealed in the presence of (the Lord of the Spirits) prior to the creation of the world, and for eternity. (1 Enoch 48:6, Charlesworth translation) Here are the Bible verses about angels Derek referred to: “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven…” (Matt. 18:10, ESV) Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. (Heb. 13:2, ESV) Sharon's niece, Sarah Sachleben, has been diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer, and the medical bills are piling up.

(This episode was recorded before the tragic murder of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by ICE in Minneapolis yesterday). On this episode of The Siren Podcast, Jo is joined by Siren contributor Kaivan Shroff to discuss his latest piece for MS NOW, titled: “Cell phone videos are protecting Americans — and eroding our privacy.” There is no doubt that the thousands of videos from citizens documenting ICE are protecting Americans, and in some cases, have even saved lives. In the face of a brutal regime that lies to its citizens with every breath they take, the videos are playing a crucial role in spreading rapid-response information and organizing strategies to on the ground ICE protestors. The videos are also shining a light on the atrocities ICE is committing everyday for Americans who either once supported Trump, or never took the time to deeply examine the immigration issue. In other words, the video documentation is rapidly turning Americans against Trump, and radicalizing them against ICE and the regime. A reported 73% of Americans saw the video of Renee Good's murder by ICE, and 45% say they support abolishing ICE. That number will only grow with yesterday's execution-style killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti. But as Kaivan tells us, this firmly accelerates our march towards a surveillance state. He writes in his piece: “Every viral video, live-streamed arrest or crowdsourced map expands the mass-surveillance landscape in the United States. Our phones become both a shield and a monitor. Protection merges with data production, and resistance begins to resemble a corollary tech-driven surveillance infrastructure: crafted by humans, often with good intentions, but also accessible to courts, law enforcement and the Big Tech oligarchy to boot.” Make sure to follow Kaivan Shroff on Substack, and check out his new podcast here.

Send us a textAI, GLP-1s, federal policy, and China. Those themes dominated last week's JP Morgan Health Care Conference in San Francisco.

Kevin Mahn makes the bullish case for Intel's (INTC) softer-than-expected guidance. He says the company's lack of supply to meet rampant demand is good for the long-term, arguing companies will turn to Intel for future contracts. Melissa Otto says that depends on how Intel can manage "insurmountable" structural issues. She adds that the legacy tech company needs to find ways to take a larger slice of AI market share with Big Tech poised to increase CapEx spending. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.
