They break down the growing gap between Semiconductors and Software, the role of rising interest rates, and whether leadership is becoming too concentrated. They also take a closer look at SpaceX and why its highly anticipated IPO could be one of the most important market events in years. The crew also revisits the lessons of the dot-com boom, exploring what really happened in 1999, how investors knew the market had gone too far, and what today's environment can teach us about spotting excess before the tide turns.
