[1:08] I I think the magnitude of the concentration risk that you're getting out of tech um may may end up coming short of expectations. And I I think it's it's very important to realize that everything everyone sold to get into the tech trade is now outperforming for the last, you know, four to five weeks.

[30:42] I've reduced my exposure to the technology sector. The index weight is 37%. I'm at 25. So remember I have institutional investors and individual investors that follow my work. Um that's a pretty big bet actually to be that much underweight.

[14:25] In 2027, that's the transition year. 2028 we go back to 185 billion as all this capex is now starting to generate revenue because remember in 26 and 27 we're building the data centers we're investing the capital we haven't generated the return yet... and by 2029 we're to 387 billion in cash flow which is well past the peak.

[15:28] the stock market right now is overvalued by ridiculous amounts. The PE ratios on the majority of stocks, certainly in the uh the fang stocks, tech stocks, AI bubble stock, they're like a thousand to PE ratio... those PE ratios are so stratospheric. There's nothing there but disaster waiting to happen.

[5:37] I think if you look at tech, I mean, tech has taken a little bit of beating. The semiconductors have taken a little bit of a beating, but I think they still have a lot more room to go on the downside.

[34:07] this is far worse than far worse. Yes, I know these companies have pees and they're making earnings... the bubble is in the profit margins of all these companies it's unsustainable... Are any of these companies going to make any really money out of this? And my answer is no.

[1:12] I'm not sure I would rotate back, you know, into into attack. I think if anything things are so overbought and um so concentrated in that aspect of the market that I certainly would would shy away from having any exposure to that at all.

[20:32] Google's depreciation expenses are going to rise from uh what was 17% up to up to 35% by 2028. So they're going to see the depreciation expenses double. Um so this is the problem is that you have a gigantic uh uh market cap that's being fed by these uh the mag seven hyperscalers. Uh and yet uh it doesn't look like right now the way things are trending that they're going to get the cash flows that they thought they were going to get.

[6:58] I think it's probably got a couple more years to go. You're right in that, you know, big tech capex spend has driven a lot of of GDP, right? And but but it's been real.

[23:09] Um, you know, my guess is that, you know, the tech space is still going to be the driver of what happens in the market. Uh, the sort of tech AI, you know, and kind of the adjacent areas and then kind of everything else.

[28:07] No. Um if anything um you know they the tech se the tech sector is going to be the the highest bidder for energy anyway driving up prices for electricity and natural gas as we're already seeing around the world. Um the the the biggest input into tech center that matters is US natural gas and um there's been no blip in US natural gas production. Um and if anything... we we think this is mostly a non-event for big tech.

[26:59] every valuation metric you look on it tells you that it's probably over the most important one I think that's overlooked is these tech guys now look like commodity guys. They produce AI compute... They're putting steel in the ground. These guys don't get People who put steel in the ground don't get 30-plus multiples. They get like 10 to 12.

[11:34] the technology companies can become and forced to become more vertically integrated. I think that's what you're going to see. I've been saying it I I called it probably way too early... they're going to invest in order to um in order to have offtake, right?

[27:28] The problem is that you know tech itself I don't think is going to outperform the other sectors over the next 5 years and that's the irony because we're in the middle of the AI super cycle but tech is not necessarily doing great what's doing great is actually uh either the capex plays that enable cap uh AI to be built out or all the other sectors we're using AI will boost productivity and margins like healthcare or finance.

[17:50] the companies that are melting up the technology giants they're immune to inflation. they're immune to uh the geopolitical concerns or the or the weakness in manufacturing that may happen in some economies in others not etc. They're in a different league and I think that that is likely to continue.

[6:49] the leadership, as you know, many of your guests have spoken about has become very narrow. Um, it's been all tech all the time since the end of March. I think that's to me that's unsustainable. It looks like a tremendous blowoff.

[3:33] I think we've seen the peak in that area. I think we're seeing some of these signals now. We've just seen one of the foremost experts uh who made an absolute killing in AI and has now actually gone short the semiconductor stocks. We're seeing a lot of layoffs increasing uh in the tech market and that's all the early signs when a market has peaked.

[21:32] we're going to reach a point in time where the spending is going to have to slow and the depreciation charges are going to start to surge. And that's where you're going to see uh earnings for these big companies start to do kind of what free cash flow has been doing already, which is which is plummeting.
