US markets have been treated as the world's growth engine for years. But with mega-cap tech stretched, private market excess creeping into public valuations, and a growing chorus of bubble warnings, is the US still the safest place to grow capital — or the most dangerous place to misprice risk?

This week, host Nadine Blayney is joined by Andrew Coleman (Teaminvest) and Kai Chen (MPC Markets) to unpack the tension between fundamentals and narrative in the US market, before going head-to-head on five of the world's most valuable companies: Apple, Nvidia, Alphabet, Amazon and Micron. The conversation covers economic moats, margin durability, capital expenditure risk, and the discipline of knowing what you don't know. Plus, a viewer question on REITs.
