People often think that university is supposed to be this time of enlightened clarity where you follow your passion. It isn't for many people. It wasn't for me nor was the journey thereafter to find my passion and then convince someone to give me a shot in a competitive industry. In this episode I look back at my volatile journey and provide some advice and, hopefully, some relatability to the journey that some of you might be facing.

In this episode our host, Nishlen Govender, will discuss the differences between the 3 most popular US equity markets.

In this episode we breakdown what the 11 equity sectors are from IT, and consumer sectors, all the way to energy, materials, and health care. We discuss the largest stocks in each sector as well as the biggest themes to give you a sense of what is driving modern equity markets.

There has been a lot of headlines dedicated to the idea that we are in the midst of another IT bubble. The last IT bubble took place in 2001 and the meteoric rise of technology companies over the last few years, and in particular the last few months thanks to the AI theme, has caused concern as to whether the market is once again getting overly optimistic when it comes to technology companies. We've spent a lot of time discussing AI and technology stocks so we are uniquely placed to have an opinion on this. I'll dive into bubbles, what's different now, and what we should understand about typical valuation techniques like the P/E ratio.
