  • Way too much jargon

    Presenters on this pod seem to think that spouting esoteric terms of art and weedy financial jargon would s what establishes their bonafides. It doesn’t. I guess if your a Finance Bro this pod will make sense to you but normal people should give this a pass

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI’s $3 Trillion Question: How to Pay the Bill?
Q: Josh, how would you compare the current pullback in software multiples to prior periods of peak uncertainty, and are the concerns you're hearing valid?
Josh argues software EV/sales multiples are down significantly from peak fear, with the market pricing in peak uncertainty and terminal value risk, while incumbents defend moats and emphasize enterprise adoption, trust, security, and governance as critical differentiators.
AI’s $3 Trillion Question: How to Pay the Bill?
Q: Lindsay, I want to start with you around financing. What's your latest on the magnitude of the data center financing gap, and what role is credit markets playing here?
Lindsay explains the estimated $3 trillion gap over four years, with hyperscalers contributing cash flow to cover about half, while private and corporate credit (including securitized credit) are expected to fund the remainder; she notes shifts from private credit 1.0 to 2.0 and increasing use of asset-backed structures.
The Fed’s Course Under a New Chair
Q: What do you think that means for Fed policy later this year, if anything?
We doubt there will be a material change in the Fed's reaction function as Mr. Warsh's views align with the committee's mainstream outlook.
The Fed’s Course Under a New Chair
Q: What were your general impressions from the meeting, and how did it compare to what you had thought going in?
The main question was how hawkish or dovish the Fed's hold would be, with a general consensus leaning towards a dovish hold due to stable incoming data.
A Thematic Look at Market Volatility
Q: Why has the multipolar theme become even more central for 2026?
An aggressive US policy agenda focusing on reshoring manufacturing and reducing dependency on China has strengthened this theme.
