Lucky for you, Mike and Emmet want to upack them all. Despite the crazy macroeconomic conditions, the market keeps performing. The Nasdaq Composite is up roughly 38% in the last year.

And while AI stocks dominate headlines, there’s another side to this market. Plenty of high-quality businesses are being left behind, with money rotating aggressively into AI. Stocks like McDonald's (MCD), Home Depot (HD), Mercado Libre (M…","meta_description":"The market is on an absolute tear right now, and it’s raising some serious questions.
