Description:

Your grandfather’s “boring” industrial stocks are suddenly outrunning Silicon Valley’s elite, and the gap is only getting wider. We explore why the digital world is hitting a physical wall and why Big Tech is now the market’s biggest underdog.

We’ll talk about:

• The Great Decoupling of 2026, where the tech-heavy indices are stalling while equal-weight markets see record-breaking capital inflows.
• The "Death of the Buyback," a controversial shift where tech giants are sacrificing share price support to fund a $600 billion AI spending spree.
• The "AI Air Pocket," a trend defining the dangerous economic gap between spending billions on infrastructure and actually seeing a profit.
• The February 25th Litmus Test, a strategy for monitoring Nvidia’s upcoming earnings to see if the tech sector can finally find its floor.
