    After another blowout quarter by $NVDA, the AI narrative is in full swing again. But is there still money to be made here? How will NVDA and the AI market fare if the economy slows down? And what can we expect from the US economy and stock market in 2024? I discussed all this with Amrita Roy, who is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to macro and technology. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation, and hope you will too. Follow Amrita Follow Me: https://www.youtube.com/@thepragmaticinvestor This is a public episode.

    My guest today is George Robertson, who comes on for a second time to follow up on the ideas he shared with us three months ago. After closing in on 5000 SPX, much like he predicted, the question now is; what next? George takes a simple idea, the unprecedented amount of fiscal stimulus, and uses this to develop a robust and complex investment thesis. Today, we talked about GDP, fiscal stimulus, the Fed, monetary policy, politics and the role of the US and US dollar.

    E33 w/Gary: Must Have Tools For Investors/Traders

    My guest today is Gary from Dailytstockpicks, a fellow podcaster, YouTuber, substack author and investor. After finding Gary’s podcast, I thought it would be a great idea to bring him on to talk to us about his investment style, general market outlook and the tools he uses daily as a trader/investor. Gary is very knowledgeable when it comes to technical analysis, which he complements with fundamentals. He has a really practical approach and is really good at understanding how to manage a portfolio in a simple yet effective way. I especially enjoyed talking about the tools he uses daily, such as SA and Trendspider.
