Summary
This weekly roundup from Prof G Media examines why U.S. stocks hit a record high while the bond market signals trouble. The S&P 500 closed at a record even as the 10-year Treasury yield topped 5.3%, its highest since 2002, and oil climbed back above $100 a barrel.
Guest John Mauy of NFJ Investment Group argues that resilient earnings, much of them tied to AI spending, explain the gap, and that the market may be mistaking a bubble for a boom. The discussion weighs roughly $900 billion in hyperscaler capital spending, Nvidia’s $6 trillion valuation, and concerns about circular financing among the largest AI companies, along with whether debt-funded data center buildouts will be matched by real demand.
Later segments turn to privacy and public safety, including AI glasses, always-on recorders, and Flock Safety license plate cameras, and a proposed bill from Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Jeff Merkley to bar federal agencies from using them. The episode also touches on how Americans respond when they stop expecting help to arrive.
