Episode notes
Volatility Reflects Valuation Anxiety
- Tech names have seen rapid multi-day sell-offs tied to valuation concerns and a louder bubble narrative.
- Steve Weiss argues compounders can weather volatility because they often grow into high valuations over time.
Meta Drawdown Is Healthy Market Discipline
- Josh Brown sees Meta's 24% drawdown as a healthy market response to unclear AI spending strategy.
- He argues investor skepticism over capital allocation signals accountability rather than a full-blown bubble.
Add To Meta On Weakness, Don’t Panic Sell
- Kevin Simpson says he wouldn't sell Meta despite the drawdown and would view weakness as an opportunity to add.
- He recommends looking for additional weakness to right-size the position rather than panic selling.
