Mike breaks down why he thinks the S&P 500 is headed to 8000, why he's calling for 10-year yields to hit 5%, and why the market has quietly rotated from low-quality "enablers" like semis into higher-quality names like the hyperscalers. The conversation digs into the AI capex debate (Nvidia, Meta, Microsoft, Micron), what a new Fed chair means for rate policy, the risk of retesting the recent lows, and how China's rare earth dominance factors into the AI arms race. They also go long-horizon — space economy, humanoid robots, and drone warfare — before closing with a walk down memory lane through the dot-com bubble.
