Lucas and Luna explore a strange market dynamic: growth stocks are rallying despite recession fears that keep getting pushed out. Using the recent performance of Shopify, CrowdStrike, and the ARKK ETF, they discuss why high-growth companies are pricing in a 'soft landing' scenario that investors have been waiting for since early 2024. They also touch on how the bond market's shifting expectations are making growth names more attractive, and whether this rally is sustainable or a trap. Plus, a quick personal note on listener support.

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how the rise of prediction markets is intersecting with growth stock investing. With the CFTC suing Rhode Island over prediction market regulation and a Google employee charged with insider trading on Polymarket, the hosts discuss what this means for investors. They dive into how platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket are creating new data streams that could reshape how we value companies, and why growth investors should pay attention. Along the way, they touch on NVIDIA's recent dip and Apple's steady climb, tying market action to the bigger picture of information asymmetry and regulatory uncertainty.

Lucas and Luna explore a surprising trend in growth investing: the biggest tech companies—Apple, Amazon, Meta—are now outperforming pure-play growth names like CrowdStrike and Palantir. Lucas digs into the rotation: Apple up 2.8% over five days, Meta up 5%, while CrowdStrike fell 0.7% and Palantir dropped 3.4%. They discuss the search for safety within growth, the shift away from high-beta names, and what it means for building a resilient growth portfolio. Luna questions whether this is a new normal or a temporary flight to quality. The conversation covers the role of AI monetization, cash piles, and investor psychology. A concrete look at how the growth stock playbook is being rewritten in late May 2026.

Lucas and Luna break down what's actually happening under the hood—how these agents work, why they're different from robo-advisors, and what it means for retail investors.

Lucas and Luna break down the growing gap between AI infrastructure plays and AI application companies. With NVIDIA down 2.6% in the past five days while CrowdStrike jumped 8.9% and Shopify surged 3.9%, the market is rewarding companies that can show real revenue from AI — not just those selling the picks and shovels. Lucas argues we're entering a 'show-me' phase for AI stocks, using Microsoft's tepid performance (down 0.1% over five days) as a cautionary tale. Luna counters with Tesla's 7.3% rise, suggesting some narrative-driven growth still works. They debate whether the AI trade is rotating from hardware to software, and what it means for growth stock portfolios today. Along the way, they explain how listener support through buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo keeps the show independent and ad-free.

Lucas and Luna explore a rare market anomaly: for the first time in modern history, the forward earnings yield on the iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF, IWF, has dropped below the ten-year Treasury yield. Using real data from May 26, 2026, they break down what this means for growth stock valuations, the role of AI capex expectations, and why NVIDIA's 2.6% dip this week might be a signal of a deeper rotation. They also discuss how the bond market's new pricing regime is forcing fund managers to rethink the 'growth at any price' playbook, with specific numbers from the week's top performers like CrowdStrike and Shopify. No hand-waving—just concrete analysis of a structural shift that changes how we value companies with long-duration cash flows.

Lucas and Luna examine a surprising market dynamic: as the U.S. government takes equity stakes in strategic companies, growth investors face new crowding-out risks. Using recent headlines about potential government stakes and the APEC trade impasse, they explore how this shifts the calculus for high-growth tech stocks. With ARKK up 2.5% in a week but Big Tech lagging, they ask whether government involvement creates a new category of 'semi-sovereign' equities. Specific focus on the Federal Reserve's Kevin Warsh and how Wall Street plumbing might change the growth landscape.

Cathie Wood's ARKK Innovation ETF is up 2.5% this week alone, but the real story is deeper. Lucas and Luna examine how active thematic ETFs are evolving from speculative bets into permanent portfolio staples. They look at ARKK's 2026 positioning, the regulatory shift that paved the way (SEC's 2019 ETF rule change), and why institutional adoption is finally happening. Along the way, they discuss the difference between a bubble and an emerging asset class, using examples from biotech and fintech holdings. The conversation also touches on how Morningstar and ETF Trends now categorize ARKK as a 'sector equity' rather than pure 'growth'—a signal that the market is maturing. Expect concrete data on inflows, fee compression, and the new breed of active managers copying Wood's playbook.

Lucas and Luna dive into the surprising trend of growth companies investing in prediction markets, despite murky legal ground. With specific numbers from this week's market action — ARKK up 2.5%, CrowdStrike surging 7.2% — they examine how firms like those in the ARK Innovation ETF are using prediction platforms to hedge macro risks and spot demand signals. The hosts discuss the regulatory gray zone, the potential for a SEC shift under Kevin Warsh, and what this means for growth investors. Lucas argues that prediction markets could become a standard corporate tool, while Luna questions whether the legal risks outweigh the edge. Tied to recent headlines about corporate prediction market investments and the Fed's plumbing.
