Det är måndag igen. Börsen har tankat nedåt rejält och ordet på allas läppar är tariffer. Många skriker börskrasch och några spår redan att depressionen är runt hörnet.Veckans avsnitt blir lite annorlunda där vi pratar en hel del om vad som händer och kring bolagen i vårt univers. Det blir en jäkla massa bolag som nämns i dagens podd. Vi försöker inte killgissa kring makro, då det är som att spå i teblad. Eller gör vi det? Vi vet knappt själva.Vi snackar i alla fall om bolag som troligen kan få sig en tariffsmäll. Det blir t.o.m. en del Large Cap-bolag som nämns.Det blir dock mest fokus på det positiva. Vilka bolag påverkas inte direkt av tarifferna? Vilka gynnas av en svagare dollar? Det kan så klart hända mycket här framåt, men avsnittet blir nästan en ventilering för oss själva. Vi snackar om allt från att iGaming-bolagen kan vara en safe haven till att nordiska småbolag kanske kan få en rejäl glow up. Om nu inte hela ekonomin brakar ihop då… men då har vi lite andra problem också.Vi avslutar med en veckans volley i sedvanligt manér. Erik är positiv och tror att det finns pengar att tjäna.
