In today's episode we talk to Mark Roberts, founder of Off Wall Street, a legendary provider of short selling research to hedge funds. Seven months before Enron became the biggest bankruptcy in US corporate history, Off Wall Street published a report recommending the shares be sold. The success of this call made Mark and Off Wall Street synonymous with original and rigorous research. We talk to Mark about his unusual personal background, how being a hippie in Berkeley in the 1960s prepared him for identifying overvalued companies two decades later. He explains why questionable accounting and high valuations are the “symptoms, not the disease” and compares today's markets with those of the Dotcom era. His new book, Off Wall Street How To Win At Short Selling By Betting Against The Crowd was just released in February 2026.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Kevin on SubStack & read his Book.Follow Mark on LinkedIn and read his book.Episode TimeStamps: 01:41 - Introducing Mark Roberts, Off Wall Street, Enron, and the book03:35 - An unconventional path: French literature, skepticism, and early life choices07:40 - The first “short sale”: selling a failing steel business and learning risk firsthand11:10...

Gary Shields calls this a “normalization year” and thinks the market can continue to move higher driven by AI. He doesn't see any underlying signals threatening the rally, citing factors like liquidity, strong balance sheets and strong earnings. He argues that AI is structural, not cyclical, and the difference between this and other cycles like the dot-com bubble is that AI companies are actually making money.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In this episode, Robert draws a striking comparison between today's AI-driven market and the early days of the internet boom, exploring why rotations into “safe” stocks often happen before the most explosive phase of a bull run. He explains how to think about pullbacks in high-growth sectors, what historically signals a true market top, and why patience can outperform panic during volatile stretches. Robert also shares how he is managing cash, positioning through the current rotation, and what needs to improve before getting more aggressive again. The episode closes with a discussion on risk management, market breadth, and how to navigate uncertainty without forcing trades.

Your board has an AI strategy. It's probably rubbish. Nathan Bell has spent 25 years delivering transformation programmes inside the world's biggest telcos. Now a Partner at Kearney, he's the person companies call when the proof-of-concept graveyard keeps growing and the CFO starts asking uncomfortable questions. In this episode: why most AI programmes are expensive theatre, how to actually get ROI, and why your change management track record matters more than your technology choices. We also get into agentic AI gone wrong — a recruiting agent that only wanted to hire golfers, a CEO town hall that triggered a queue at HR, and an AI agent that doxxed a developer and got its creator hired by Sam Altman. Make of that what you will. Plus rapid-fire telco takes and a deeply scientific Australia vs Netherlands lifestyle quiz that ended in a draw.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today's episode, we're joined by economist Peter St-Onge, whose remarkable journey began with early investment success, only to be wiped out in the 2000 dot-com crash and lead him to reinvent himself as a bartender in Japan and eventually earn a PhD in economics. Together, Tom Bilyeu and Peter St-Onge dive deep into the mechanics behind market booms and busts—from dot-com to the rise of AI—exploring how economic forces like Federal Reserve policies, tariffs, regulations, and the ever-controversial debate between Keynesian and Austrian economics shape our financial landscape. You'll hear Peter St-Onge break down why asset holders consistently come out ahead, discuss the looming threats and unlikely contenders to the US dollar as the world's reserve currency, and weigh in on the real impact of government intervention. If you've ever wondered how to invest wisely in today's volatile market, see through the headlines, or navigate a system that seems rigged for the rich, this episode offers rare clarity—and actionable advice—for surviving and thriving in uncertain times. Stay tuned as we untangle the web of economic forces affecting us all and provide the insights you need to make legendary moves.

Everyone keeps comparing the AI boom to the dot-com era — so we decided to go down the rabbit hole and see what really happened.In this episode, Jess and I take you back to the 1990s — when optimism was sky-high, money was cheap, and anything with “.com” in its name could send Wall Street into a frenzy. We unpack the perfect economic storm that built the bubble, the wild timeline of events that burst it, and the investor psychology that made even the smartest people believe this time was different.Because before you can understand today's market manias… you've got to understand the first one.Key Takeaways:The 1990s were the perfect setup for a bubble: Low inflation, low interest rates, and a booming economy gave investors confidence — and cheap money — to chase risk. The Internet added excitement, fueling the belief that a “new economy” had begun.Technology changed everything — and everyone wanted in: The commercialization of the Web and the rise of companies like Netscape, Amazon, and Yahoo! made it feel like endless growth was guaranteed. IPOs exploded, valuations skyrocketed, and profits stopped mattering.Investor psychology took over the market: FOMO and hype replaced fundamentals. The phrase “irrational exuberance” wasn't just clever — it described the collective mindset that pushed prices higher simply because they were already rising.The media amplified the mania: Financial news networks turned investing into entertainment. Analysts became influencers before social media existed, and market updates sounded more like sports commentary than financial analysis.The bubble wasn't just about tech — it was about people: It was a story of optimism, greed, and belief. Investors convinced themselves “this time is different,” proving that markets run on emotion just as much as data.______________________________________________________________Ask Us a Question, Leave a Review, Follow, Subscribe:

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Henrik Zeberg to the show. Henrik Zeberg is Head Macro Economist at Swissblock. In this in-depth discussion, Zeberg provides a comprehensive analysis of the current economic landscape, focusing on potential market dynamics and an impending economic recession. Zeberg argues that the current market, particularly in technology and AI, resembles the dot-com bubble, with valuations reaching unsustainable levels. He suggests that while AI will indeed be transformative, the current market exuberance is reminiscent of previous technological bubbles where expectations far outpace immediate economic realities. The market capitalization to GDP ratio currently stands at approximately 230%, compared to 137% during the dot-com bubble, indicating extreme market overvaluation. Regarding the economic outlook, Zeberg predicts a recession starting no later than the second quarter of 2026, potentially in March or April. He points to significant weaknesses in the job market, with job creation at its lowest levels in 50 years and a growing disconnect between the financial world and real economic conditions. The labor market indicators suggest a substantial economic slowdown, with 50% of consumer spending coming from just 10% of the population. Henrik anticipates a complex economic cycle involving an initial deflationary period followed by potential inflationary pressures. He expects the Federal Reserve will attempt to intervene, potentially creating a market rally before an eventual significant market correction. He suggests that investors should be prepared for volatility and consider hard assets like real estate, commodities, and precious metals as potential long-term investments. In terms of investment strategy, Zeberg recommends controlling emotional responses, avoiding getting caught in market euphoria, and being patient. He believes the current environment requires careful navigation, with potential opportunities emerging after a meaningful market pullback. The key is understanding that the era of double-digit growth in speculative assets is likely coming to an end.

Christopher Mims and Tim Higgins of the Wall Street Journal sit down with a16z General Partner Martin Casado on WSJ's Bold Names to ask whether the AI spending boom is a bubble waiting to burst. Martin explains why the fundamentals differ dramatically from the dot-com era—when WorldCom had $40 billion in debt versus today's tech giants with hundreds of billions on their balance sheets—and why a speculative valuation correction shouldn't be confused with systemic collapse. They also discuss where a16z sees opportunity in the "long tail" of AI companies beyond the state-of-the-art large language models.Follow Martin Casado on X: https://twitter.com/martin_casadoFollow Christopher Mims on X: https://twitter.com/mimsFollow Tim Higgins on X:  https://twitter.com/timkhigginsCheck out WSJ's Bold Names: https://www.wsj.com/podcasts/wsj-the-future-of-everything Stay Updated:Find a16z on XFind a16z on LinkedInListen to the a16z Show on SpotifyListen to the a16z Show on Apple PodcastsFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

On this morning's BizNews Daybreak, Alec Hogg unpacks a massive overnight shift in global markets: The "Fear & Greed" Trade: Gold has surged $300 to a record $5,566/oz, pulling JSE miners like Harmony Gold (+10%) and Gold Fields (+8%) skyward. The FT's Katie Martin and Rob Armstrong argue this isn't just a safety play—it's a "heady cocktail" of fear, greed, and naked speculation. The "Permabear" Warning: Legendary investor Jeremy Grantham reveals a "dirty trick" he played at a 1990s conference, proving that 99% of Wall Street professionals knew the Dotcom crash was inevitable but refused to say so publicly due to career risk. Fed vs. Trump: The US Federal Reserve has held interest rates steady, with Chair Jay Powell firmly asserting the central bank's independence amid pressure from the Trump White House. Tech Earnings: Big beats from Tesla, Meta, and ASML have steadied Wall Street, with Elon Musk doubling down on investments in xAI despite scepticism. Currency Check: The Rand has strengthened significantly, starting today below R15.70/$ amidst the Dollar's continued wobble.

About 100 companies report earnings this week, including Mag 7 companies like Microsoft (MSFT), Meta Platforms (META), and Tesla (TSLA). Kenny Polcari remains "very bullish" on tech's strength for the rest of the year, citing strong earnings growth that is "nothing like the dot com bubble." Even with Mag 7 in focus, Kenny's also watching the memory chip trade starting with Seagate's (STX) earnings Tuesday evening, calling the space the "true bottleneck" of AI. ======== 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

Few people experienced the Dot-Com bubble with more vertiginous intensity than Bill Gross, the Pasadena-based founder of Idealab and many many other internet startups over the last 30 years. So when I sat down with Gross at DLD, I couldn't resist opening with the boom/bubble gambit. How, I asked him, does today's AI hysteria compare with the Web 1.0 madness of the Nineties? While Gross - whose current ProRata.ai play is focused on protecting creativity in the age of generative AI - doesn't believe that today's boom is akin to the Dot-Com bubble, there are similarities. We are at what Gross calls a “Napster moment” in terms of making the big LLMs accountable for all the content they are illegally crawling (ie: stealing). And to get beyond this moment, he says, everyone from Google and OpenAI to Perplexity and Anthropic, needs to move to a “Spotify model” that fairly shares revenue with the human creators of knowledge.

01-17-26 Girl Talk with Coloring Book Dot Com, and Dr. Robin Blackstone by

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Gerald Celente to the show. Gerald Celente is Author, Founder, and Publisher of Trends Research Institute and Journal. The conversation delves into complex geopolitical and economic trends, with Celente offering a critical perspective on global politics, international conflicts, and economic dynamics. Celente provides a scathing critique of U.S. foreign policy, highlighting the disconnect between political rhetoric and actual actions, particularly focusing on leaders like Trump, Obama, and Biden. He argues that U.S. interventions in countries like Iran, Venezuela, and others are fundamentally driven by oil interests and geopolitical control rather than humanitarian concerns. Celente extensively explores the shifting global economic landscape asserting that the 21st century will be the “Chinese century.” He points to China’s significant investments in infrastructure, education, and emerging technologies like AI, contrasting this with what he sees as America’s declining innovation and increasing focus on military spending. Regarding economic trends, Celente predicts a potentially catastrophic economic scenario, which he terms the “greatest depression.” He emphasizes the critical role of precious metals, particularly gold and silver, as safe-haven assets during periods of geopolitical and economic uncertainty. Gerald highlights the massive U.S. national debt, potential digital currency implementations, and the ongoing erosion of the dollar’s global dominance. Celente is particularly critical of mainstream media, describing journalism as “dead” and advocating for comprehensive, multi-perspective reporting. Guest Links: Website: https://trendsjournal.com X: https://x.com/@geraldcelente Substack: https://trendsinthenews.substack.com Gerald Celente is the Founder/Director of the Trends Research Institute and Publisher of the weekly Trends Journal magazine. He is the author of the highly acclaimed and best-selling books “Trend Tracking” and “Trends 2000” (Warner Books). With a 43-year track record of identifying, tracking, and forecasting trends, Celente is world-renowned as today's #1 Trend Forecaster. Celente has earned the reputation as a trusted name in trends for his many accurate forecasts; among them, the 1987 Stock Market crash, Dot com bust, “Gold Bull Run,” “Panic of ‘08,” the rise of organic foods, and the popularity of gourmet coffee long before Starbucks was a household name. Celente, who developed the Globalnomic methodology to identify, track, forecast, and manage trends, is a political atheist. Unencumbered by political dogma, rigid ideology, or conventional wisdom, Celente, whose motto is “Think for Yourself,” observes and analyzes current events forming future trends for what they are – not for how he wants them to be. A true American Patriot, Celente owns three pre-Revolutionary stone buildings on the most historic corner in America, where the seeds of Democracy were sown, Colonial Kingston, New York's first Capitol. Self-described as a “Warrior for the Prince of Peace,” Gerald Celente is also the Founder “Occupy Peace & Freedom,” a not-for-profit movement to honor the Constitution and Bill of Rights and restore Freedoms.

Right now, Artificial Intelligence feels unstoppable. Investors are piling in, expectations are sky-high and claims about a radically different future are everywhere. To anyone who remembers the late 1990s, it all feels strikingly familiar. Back then, the internet sparked the dotcom boom - a frenzy of big ideas, easy money and soaring valuations. When the bubble burst in 2000, billions were lost and companies wiped out. Yet the core idea proved right - the internet did transform lives, just more slowly and messily than expected. And there are important lessons to be learned. Evan Davis talks to Ernst Malmsten, co-founder and CEO of boo.com, one of the most high-profile startups of the dotcom era. From his frontline seat in the boom and bust, he shares what really happened and what today's AI moment can learn from it.

We explore what past technology cycles can teach us, why safety nets struggle to address disruption, and where genuine optimism still makes sense. This is a January 2025 rerun, which remains strikingly relevant today. We covered: (01:09) State of the US economy (02:28) "That end of 1999 feeling" (05:08) Insights and lessons from the dotcom bubble (09:57) Why today's market is different (13:44) Understanding AI's role in labor displacement (16:05) Are LLMs "souped-up autocorrect"? (20:14) How job displacement erodes communities (23:40) 2025's looming threat of tariffs (26:16) AI's surprising impact on globalization (30:15) Can markets address inequality? (33:06) The maximum level of sustainable national debt (36:31) When should the Fed raise interest rates? (38:57) The need to revitalize local economies (44:53) Did Paul's 2025 predictions come true? ------ Where to find me: Exponential View newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ Website: https://www.azeemazhar.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/azhar/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/azeem Production by supermix.io and EPIIPLUS1 Production and research: Chantal Smith and Marija Gavrilov.

Is today's AI boom echoing the excesses of the dot-com era, or is this cycle fundamentally different? Nasdaq's Mark Marex joins Interactive Brokers to break down profitability, valuations, supply-demand dynamics, and what investors should watch to determine whether AI's rise is sustainable.

Big Tech spent $560B on AI and made $35B back—no profits, just GPUs and vibes.We break down why NVIDIA is propping up the market, why AI agents don't work, and why the AI boom looks increasingly brittle under the hood.In this episode, we dissect the AI trade using hard data:$560B in capex from the Magnificent 7$35B in AI revenueNo sustainable profits—except for NVIDIAWe cover:Why NVIDIA is the single point of failure for US equitiesHow OpenAI and Anthropic extract value from their own customersWhy “agents” are marketing fictionAnd why AI startups scale by burning cash, not building moatsThis isn't contrarianism.It's what the balance sheets are saying—quietly.

In this live episode of Life at Liberty during the 2025 Liberty Festival, Dan Steers and Tik Maynard gets into conversations that somehow manages to be equal parts actual horsemanship and absolute chaos (in the best way). Between dad jokes, Aussie/Canadian banter, and a legendary story about Dan James, they dig into what it really looks like to invest in your own learning, whether that's training chickens to understand reinforcement, preparing for Road to the Horse, or simply figuring out how to be a better student without letting ego run the show. It's funny, honest, and unexpectedly practical. Highlights: The live Liberty Festival vibe: banter, audience energy, and “we might not be the best, but we're the funnest” Tik's path through Pony Club, mounted games, and how it shaped his horsemanship foundation What Tik learned preparing for (and winning) Road to the Horse - twice The “Chicken Training Camp” story… and why it actually matters for training horses A real discussion on investing in yourself, avoiding burnout, and staying inspired What makes a good student—and how to choose clinics that actually help you grow Key Moments: 00:00:36 The unicorn joke opener and immediate chaos00:04:32 Dan James running late + the Pony Club origin story00:12:44 Tik's background: Pony Club, mounted games, and early competition00:17:56 Road to the Horse: what actually changed for Tik00:18:55 Chicken Training Camp + rate of reinforcement explained00:28:34 The real cost of investing in yourself (time, money, family)00:32:11 Confidence, criticism, and following the “inner flame”00:40:10 What's next for Tik: family, Greece, eventing goals, and writing00:44:50 Why great horsemen still take lessons + collaboration culture shift00:47:05 What makes a good student (homework, trust, and setting yourself up well)00:55:43 “Dotcom” story: the original catfish incident and how it shaped Dan James' path01:04:38 Wrap-up + Liberty Festival gratitude Summaries: 00:00:36 The unicorn joke opener and immediate chaosTik Maynard opens with a joke and the tone is set instantly: this episode is going to be fun, unfiltered, and very live. The banter establishes the dynamic between Dan and Tik right away. 00:04:32 Dan James running late + the Pony Club origin storyDan Steers roasts Dan James for being late (as tradition demands), then launches into stories about Dan's early horse days and how “Dan James time” became a very real thing. 00:12:44 Tik's background: Pony Club, mounted games, and early competitionTik shares his upbringing in Vancouver's horse scene, where arena work was the norm. He explains how Pony Club and mounted games shaped his foundations, focus, and sense of purpose with horses. 00:17:56 Road to the Horse: what actually changed for TikTik breaks down what winning Road to the Horse did and didn't change. Biggest impact: how much he learned during preparation and the increase in clinic requests, more than a total business shift. 00:18:55 Chicken Training Camp + rate of reinforcement explainedYes, it's real. Tik explains how training chickens taught him learning theory fundamentals, especially rate of reinforcement, and how that translates directly into pressure/release timing with horses. 00:28:34 The real cost of investing in yourself (time, money, family)They get serious about what it takes to commit to big goals when you've got a family, bills, and a business. Tik shares the conversation with his wife and why long-term growth still mattered. 00:32:11 Confidence, criticism, and following the “inner flame”Tik talks about competition pressure, mistakes in front of an audience, and choosing to keep going anyway. Key message: protect that internal drive and don't let social media critics steer your path. 00:40:10 What's next for Tik: family, Greece, eventing goals, and writingTik lays out what he's working toward, time with his kids, a long-awaited vacation, building an event horse, using Tomcat as a “learning horse,” and writing his next book (including more liberty). 00:44:50 Why great horsemen still take lessons + collaboration culture shiftThey talk about how modern horsemanship has become more collaborative and why the best trainers keep learning. Tik shares his weekly lesson routine and how being coached keeps him sharp and inspired. 00:47:05 What makes a good student (homework, trust, and setting yourself up well)Tik gives a practical blueprint: do your homework before you sign up, commit fully once you're there, and choose clinicians based on what you/your horse need right now, not ego or hype. 00:55:43 “Dotcom” story: the original catfish incidentDan Steers tells the legendary story behind Dan James' nickname “Dotcom”, an early-internet catfish situation that somehow leads to Dan learning from top horse people in Texas. Wild, funny, and oddly meaningful. 01:04:38 Wrap-up + Liberty Festival gratitudeThey close by circling back to the Liberty Festival community, why humor belongs in education, and how the weekend re-inspired Tik. Dan Steers signs off in classic Double Dan style: fun first, ego last.

Jim Lanzone (CEO of Yahoo, former CEO of Tinder & CBS Interactive) joins Dan Nathan to pull back the curtain on one of the most fascinating turnaround stories in tech history. With 90% reach across the US internet and profitability that would make most public companies jealous, Jim explains why Yahoo is quietly dominating while the world isn't looking. They discuss the "original sin" deal in 2000 where Yahoo accidentally helped build the Google monopoly, the similarities between the Dot Com crash and today's AI boom, and the exact playbook Apollo is using to revitalize the brand for a potential IPO. —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media

Phil Rosen of Opening Bell Daily joins Inside the ICE House to unpack the forces driving the U.S. labor market slowdown. He explains how Fed rate hikes, the post-pandemic hiring reversal, and AI adoption are reshaping employment trends. While AI often gets the blame, Phil notes it's just one piece of a larger economic shift. He also shares why today's AI boom differs from the dot-com era and how younger investors continue to see market pullbacks as buying opportunities.

The “Shiller PE Ratio” is at its highest level since November of 1999. That was at the peak of the online gold rush right before the dot com bubble burst in 2000. Today on the show, we learn what the Shiller PE Ratio is, how it works and whether we should be worried that it's relatively high right now.Related episodes: What's a Bubble?Zombie 2nd mortgages are coming to life, threatening thousands of Americans' homesFor sponsor-free episodes of The Indicator from Planet Money, subscribe to Planet Money+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.
