Tech is Selling Off. AI Debt Fears Are Rising. So Why Does a $4B Manager See a Reverse Bubble?
The episode gives wealth professionals a framework for assessing AI spending through contracts, financing costs, and returns on capital rather than treating it only as speculative excess. It also connects Treasury yields and Fed expectations to equity valuation and stock selection.
