In this first episode of 2026, we sit down for a deep dive into one of the hottest concerns coming from clients and listeners lately: Is the U.S. stock market dangerously concentrated—and are we in an AI bubble? Ben, Dan, and Ben unpack the data, the history, and the psychology behind today's valuations, drawing lessons from past episodes of market euphoria such as Nortel in Canada, the dot-com boom, and Japan's 1989 peak. They explain why high market valuations—not concentration—pose the bigger challenge, how bubbles historically fuel real economic innovation while hurting investors, and why diversification continues to offer the only reliable protection against unknowable futures. Along the way, they revisit examples of how value stocks, small-cap value, and global diversification have fared across different market regimes.   Key Points From This Episode: (0:00:40) What RR is about: evidence-based insights, synthesis episodes, expert interviews, and long-form inquiry — not debates. (0:04:20) Why listeners value RR: transparency, friendly inquiry, returning to topics over time, and the hosts' dynamic. (0:09:25) Rising concern: clients asking whether U.S. market concentration and an AI bubble mean it's time to exit stocks. (0:11:10) Advisors echo similar worries: U.S. politics, all-time highs, and emotional decision-making. (0:14:20) Today's data point: Top seven U.S. stocks = 36% of S&P 500; 32% of the total U.S. market — highest on record. (0:16:10) Why people fear concentration: a decline in the Magnificent Seven could meaningfully drag down the index. (0:17:30) Canada's cautionary tale: Nortel once hit 36% of the TSX — collapsed to zero — but the market recovered by 2005. (0:21:20) Bubbles through history: canals, railways, fiber optics, dot-coms — innovation funded by speculation. (0:25:30) Dot-com parallels: huge ideas, low cost of capital, lots of failures — but lasting infrastructure remained. (0:28:40) AI dominance: Since ChatGPT, AI-linked companies drove 75% of S&P returns, 80% of earnings growth, 90% of capex. (0:31:15) Reminder: No bubble calls — just context. High prices don't equal an inevitable crash. (0:33:10) Concentration vs. valuation: concentration shows weak links to future returns; valuations matter far more. (0:35:05) Market timing trap: U.S. valuations were high in 2021 — selling then would have been disastrous. (0:36:40) The U.S. lost decade: 2000–2010 returns were flat; in CAD, recovery didn't happen until 2013. (0:38:55) Value stocks held up: U.S. value and small-cap value delivered positive returns while broad indexes stagnated. (0:41:00) Recency bias reminder: Canadians once avoided U.S. stocks entirely after a decade of underperformance. (0:44:05) Japan 1989: World's largest market crashes — still not recovered in real terms 36 years later. (0:47:10) Global diversification wins: A 40% Japan-weighted global portfolio still performed fine thanks to U.S. growth. (0:49:00) Cross-country data: Many markets are far more concentrated than the U.S. — still delivered solid returns. (0:52:30) Valuation evidence: Higher CAPE = lower future returns — economically strong pattern across countries. (0:55:40) Core lesson: Diversification + discipline. You will always hold winners and losers — that's the point. (0:57:55) Practical ways to lower concentration risk: global equity funds, small caps, and Canada's 10% cap rule. (1:00:30) Why active managers don't help: only ~30–47% outperform depending on concentration trend. (1:03:25) Final takeaway: high valuations may imply lower returns, but prediction is impossible — stay diversified. (1:05:15) After-show review: Addressing a one-star critique ("Fartcoin Designer") with humour and community context.

New Year's Eve at The Bubble Lounge was anything but quiet—a full house, plenty of laughs, and our most honest recap yet. From a surprise “Citizen of the Year” phone call to a Yankees hat that crashed a Rangers Zoom, we looked back on a year packed with small, unforgettable moments that made life in the Bubble so special.We relive it all—rain-drenched parades, the volleyball team's electric state run, late-night band bus takeovers, and the parents, students, and neighbors who keep this community buzzing. It's a love letter to the Park Cities—real, funny, opinionated, and full of heart.Yes, we go there… the Snider Plaza fountain debate. Some call it elegant, others say Vegas—either way, it's proof that we care deeply about what makes this place home. And we raise a glass to the local sponsors, shop owners, and friends who answered late-night calls, turned ads into friendships, and proved that community truly fuels everything we do.We also faced the hard stuff together. After the Camp Mystic tragedy, we saw how faith, grief, and love can unite a town. The green ribbons, lit hearts, and countless messages reminded us why these conversations matter.Seven years in, we're still growing—new music, new voices, and a community contest to help us pick our next intro (calling all drummers and composers!). Have a story idea or guest suggestion? Head to BubbleLounge.net or DM us on Instagram.If this episode made you laugh, cry, or just feel grateful to live here—follow, share, and leave a review so more neighbors can join the conversation.

Chris Spangle is joined by Harry Price and Rhinehold for the final We Are Libertarians roundtable of 2025, recorded on the Saturday between Christmas and New Year's. They trade Festivus-style grievances, talk life and workload, and debate Indianapolis development, public transit, and downtown design, including “no turn on red” frustrations and light rail. The conversation moves into NPR and PBS funding cuts, NOAA and weather data, and why abrupt cuts can create gaps before private solutions adapt. They also dig into “too big to fail,” stadium subsidies, wealth inequality, immigration and tariffs, and worries about an AI hype cycle that could pop. Along the way: John Bolton's book as a Christmas gift, local versus federal power, and why history keeps repeating. 00:00 Intro & Holiday Banter 03:00 Year-End Reflections & Schedules 08:00 Jokes, Grievances & Festivus Vibes 13:00 Life Updates & Podcasting Behind the Scenes 20:00 Indianapolis Neighborhoods & Housing Market 28:00 City Development, Gentrification, and Sports Strategy 34:00 Public Projects, Taxpayer Money & Convention Economy 43:00 Transit, Traffic, and Urban Design Debates 52:00 Public Transportation & Challenges for the Poor 01:02:00 Funding Cuts, Private Solutions & PBS/NPR 01:10:00 Speculation, Tech Giants & Too Big to Fail 01:18:00 Renewable Energy, Land Use, & NIMBYism 01:24:00 American Preferences, Libertarian Values & Wealth Gaps 01:33:00 Final Thoughts, Historical Parallels & Farewell Learn more about your ad choices.

Designated drivers are fantasticMidnight gets the fireworks, the kiss, and the champagne pop—but what if bourbon claimed the next minute? We take a hard look at how bubbles became the default celebration drink and map out a practical, repeatable ritual that lets whiskey own 12:01. The idea is simple and social: a one‑ounce Midnight Pour, raised together, followed by a signature afterpour that's easy to build at any party. No lectures. No elitism. Just a clear, shared moment that anyone—new sipper or seasoned collector—can join.We unpack the psychology of celebration, from effervescence and spectacle to the way rituals anchor holidays. Champagne mastered the countdown with visuals and tradition; bourbon leaned into firesides and heritage. That brand posture works all winter but misses the energy at midnight. So we reframe the lane: champagne is for the kiss, bourbon is for the promise—new goals, new risks, new chapters. To make it real, we outline a simple serve (think one ounce bourbon, a touch of maple or honey, big cube, orange peel) and a social playbook that shows friends clinking rocks glasses at 12:01. Make it visible. Make it repeatable. Let the ritual spread.We also dive into a rare tasting: Old Louisville's Cathedral, a Bardstown-crafted blend finished in French oak from timber selected for the Notre Dame restoration. Expect assertive oak, leather, char, and a long, tobacco‑tilted finish with a remarkably balanced body. If you love aged profiles over sweetness, this pour sings and underscores why bourbon excels at meaning and momentum after the countdown.Join us as we sketch a new tradition that doesn't replace champagne, but completes the night. If the Midnight Pour speaks to you, share it with a friend, tag us with your 12:01 toast, and help us build a ritual worth keeping.

Jensen Huang is something of an enigma. The NVIDIA CEO doesn't have social media and, until recently, rarely gave interviews. Yet he may be the most important person in AI.Under his leadership, NVIDIA has become a goliath. Somewhere between 80 and 90 per cent of AI tools run on NVIDIA hardware, making it the world's most valuable company. But unlike his contemporaries, Huang has been remarkably quiet about the technology – and the world – he's building.In his new book, The Thinking Machine: Jensen Huang, NVIDIA, and the World's Most Coveted Microchip, journalist Stephen Witt pulls back the curtain. And what he finds is, at times, shocking: Huang believes there is zero risk in developing superintelligence.So who is Jensen Huang? And should we worry that the most powerful person in AI is racing forward at breakneck speed, blind to the potential consequences?Mentioned:The Thinking Machine: Jensen Huang, NVIDIA, and the World's Most Coveted Microchip, by Stephen WittHow Jensen Huang's Nvidia Is Powering the A.I.

We are away for Christmas, so this is a repeat of a previous episode. AI companies are seeing a monumental surge in investment – but some experts are now warning of the risks of an economic bubble. Could AI be the biggest market bubble since the dot-com crash? Or is it a genuinely transformative technology that's simply taking time to deliver? We speak to the BBC's Evan Davis.

How to choose the perfect bottle of bubbly for New Year's Eve, enjoying “European vibes” without leaving the United States - millions of workers leave vacation days on the table each year - advice on how not to be one of them.

This year, the development and spending around artificial intelligence has been perhaps the most significant business and economic story. AI spending is driving one of the most explosive periods for the tech industry and playing a big role in overall economic growth. But there are very real questions about the boom. Geoff Bennett discussed the potential bubble with Cade Metz of The New York Times. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy

On today's show we are talking about one of the greatest threats to real estate, and it doesn't come from real estate, or even have anything to do with real estate. The word bubble has been making headlines lately with an increasing number of pundits calling the level of investment in AI a bubble. Last week we talked about three styles of investing: fundamentals, momentum and arbitrage. On today's show we are talking about the level to which a bubble has been created, and the discussion is centering around which pin is going to pop the balloon. The emphasis on the pin is misplaced in my view. When you are in a bubble, it feels good. I know. I experienced it in the dot com bubble. My company went public in February of 1999. Much of 1998 was spent in the preparation for the public offering. There were some really good technology companies that lost most of their valuation in the wake of the dot com bubble bursting. Amazon lost 90% of its value. Nvidia lost 85% of its value. Intel lost 80% of its value and Microsoft lost 58% of its value. 1/3 of the value of the S&P 500 is based on just 7 technology companies. If the market wakes up one day and realizes that these companies are over-valued, there will certainly be a correction. If the value of those 7 companies were to be similarly cut down as the dot com related stocks were in the year 2000, what would be the impact on the overall stock market? Let's do a simple thought experiment. Let's say that these 7 stocks lose 80% of their value and that none of the other 493 companies in the S&P500 lose any value.

This year, the development and spending around artificial intelligence has been perhaps the most significant business and economic story. AI spending is driving one of the most explosive periods for the tech industry and playing a big role in overall economic growth. But there are very real questions about the boom. Geoff Bennett discussed the potential bubble with Cade Metz of The New York Times. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy

On this wild episode of Animal Party, Deb Wolfe shares the late-night surprise visitor that swooped into her office—a fierce little northern pygmy owl—and what she learned about these tiny, hummingbird-hunting predators. She dives into quirky and troubling animal news, from Trailer Park Boys' cat-loving Bubbles actor facing assault charges, to Tom Brady cloning his beloved dog and what it says about nature vs. nurture. Deb also spotlights a retirement “spa” for elderly penguins in New England, a pet monkey wreaking havoc in a Halloween store, and why monkeys make terrible pets. Plus, she unpacks why dogs sneeze when their mood shifts and offers heartfelt advice on keeping pets safe and stress-free—especially far away from scream therapy sessions, fireworks, and chaotic crowds.EPISODE NOTES: From Pygmy Owls to Pet Monkeys: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

WARNING: This episode is explicit in nature - we advise listener discretion.Encore replay from our inaugural WhyWork Podcast episode 01 launch - From S01 E01: Bubbles of Trouble - the perfect discussion for the holiday time.Season 01 Episode 01 invites listeners to consider what happens when a celebration like a Christmas party or social gathering goes seriously wrong. There can be blurred lines, drinking, nudity, giggles, and the assumptions that everyone in the team wants to party in the same way when that just might not be the case! Listen to what happens when your work party devolves and what might be done to protect against such circumstances. “She poured it on…”, says Alan. “It all got a little sudsy…”, says Sara, and “Let's get this party started!”. “Was she planking?” asked Trajce. There is little to be left to the imagination in this episode.

This week's episode is the final Veg Grower Podcast of 2025, and I wanted to take a step back and reflect on what has been a huge year here in the kitchen garden and down on the allotment. From new systems and new beds, to challenges with drought, job changes, and the reminder of just how powerful growing food can be for our mental health, this episode is very much about looking at what worked, what didn't, and what I've learned along the way. Kitchen Garden Update 2025 has been a brilliant year for the kitchen garden. Being able to step straight outside and spend even a few minutes tidying, mulching or weeding has made a massive difference, especially during busy periods. One of the biggest upgrades this year was installing an AutoPot system in the greenhouse, and it has more than paid for itself. Tomatoes, cucumbers and other greenhouse crops have thrived with very little intervention, producing an abundance of food for minimal effort. Other highlights from the kitchen garden include: Adding new beds and keeping a steady flow of crops coming in Growing perennial crops like asparagus and rhubarb from seed Successful straw bale gardening, once the bales were properly conditioned using a high-nitrogen feed Growing food from supermarket produce, including potatoes, garlic, ginger and herbs Beyond the harvests, the kitchen garden has played a huge role in supporting my mental health this year. During times of change and disruption, simply being outside, focused on small achievable jobs, made a real difference. Allotment Update Down on the allotment, 2025 was all about productivity, resilience and learning how to work with less time available. One of the standout successes this year has been using straw as a mulch. At around £3.50 per bale, it's been a cost-effective way to protect soil, retain moisture during a very dry year, and massively improve yields – particularly with potatoes. Other key lessons and highlights include: Producing far more of our own compost using large corrugated iron compost bins Accepting that some crops struggled in the dry conditions, particularly beans and peas Seeing brassicas, potatoes and fruit crops really thrive despite the lack of rain Gradually improving problem areas and boundaries over winter The goal for 2026 is clear: add even more organic matter, improve soil structure, and push productivity even further. Recipe of the Week – Bubble and Squeak This week's recipe is a proper post-Christmas classic: Bubble and Squeak. It's a fantastic way to use up leftover roast potatoes and vegetables, lightly mashed, mixed together and fried until crisp and golden. Perfect with an egg for breakfast, or served alongside cold meats – and it freezes beautifully too. You'll find the full recipe on the website. £5,000 Food Growing Challenge Every year I aim to grow £5,000 worth of food, based on supermarket prices. While I didn't quite hit the target in 2025, we still managed an impressive £4,500 worth of home-grown food. Fruit crops were the real stars this year, with tomatoes, peppers, chillies, cucumbers and soft fruit delivering huge value – and there's plenty of scope to push that total even higher next year.

W/C 22nd December 2025I am going to split Christmas 2025 into three categories, the more, the less and the same.In the more bucket we have family cultural experiences, with the triple whammy of the cinema, the theatre and the panto in a five day period bookending the big day. I would also throw into the more pot, jigsaw-time, food-prep and possibly running.The consistent category is food and drink, no question. The annual appearance of the cheese board has been most welcome, and there has been very little in the way of intake discipline since Christmas Eve. Slightly more red than white, equal parts savoury to sweet.And the less has been screen time, scheduled group TV moments and snoozing. I don't think I have had one nap this time around.Oh and matching Christmas Pyjamas, at no point has this even been considered, as an insta-moment or as going-out attire.Stay safe.The Boy in the Bubble - Paul SimonTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.

Retired Alaska State Trooper Richie joins Tony to recount decades of high-strangeness encounters spanning the Arctic and Appalachia. He describes driving through a dome-like anomaly on Alaska's Dalton Highway where temperatures plunged sixty degrees instantly, along with years of policing inside the Alaska Triangle, an area known for UFOs, Bigfoot, and ancient Native warnings about giant people and underground little people. After moving to Kentucky, Richie encountered massive footprints, wood knocks, forest structures, and a small humanoid being running at impossible speed in broad daylight. He also shares firsthand experiences with demonic manifestations, a clear angelic visitation, and a mysterious woman who appeared to emit light before vanishing. This is a sober, firsthand account from a veteran lawman reporting what he witnessed, while theorizing what he thinks it might be. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Harry talks to veteran reporter Chris Whipple to get the inside scoop on his bombshell account of the Trump White House's inner workings.

They cover Wiles's sharp criticisms of administration officials and her admissions of serious wrongdoing by the president, including misleading the public on the Epstein files. The two dig deep into the details—several as yet overlooked—from one of most important stories written about Trump.
