Join us for a discussion with Barry Ritholtz and Michael Parekh as we explore the current state of the markets, the impact of EU regulations on big tech and small businesses, and the debate around data ownership and fair use in the AI era. We dive into why all-time highs are bullish signals, the challenges facing small-cap companies, and how AI investments today compare to previous tech revolutions.
