Why This Isn't the Bear Market You're Looking For

Описание: Markets have been under pressure, with a weird twist: AI is hitting both sides of the market. “Legacy” businesses are getting repriced on disruption fears, while the mega-cap tech leaders are slipping on CapEx / return concerns. Matt and Jason break down what that actually means for positioning right now—why chop can still be opportunity, how to avoid getting pulled into “X narratives,” and why the market’s message matters more than opinions.

They also hit the biggest debate of the week: Michael Burry vs. Palantir, why “being right” can still be expensive, and what matters most when a former leader stops acting like a leader. Finally, they close with a new weekly scoreboard idea (Matt vs. Jason) featuring Texas Instruments (TXN) vs. Sugar (CANE) as the setups to watch next week.
