The people building frontier AI asked the industry to slow down, and the Fed raised rates for the first time in three years, all inside four days. Daniel Newman and Shay Boloor are live at 1 PM ET on what both mean for the AI trade, whether Meta's Muse is the ChatGPT moment, and whether the cybersecurity move already happened.

The slate opens with the slowdown call. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published "We Must Pace the Frontier" on Saturday, Sam Altman and Elon Musk agreed within hours, and Microsoft put out a 37 page code of conduct for its models on Monday. Jensen Huang called it a false choice, Mark Zuckerberg said liability and competition already do the job, and the White House rejected new guardrails. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 5.9% on Monday, NVDA fell 3.4%, and by Thursday the index had recovered 4% while Broadcom's Hock Tan said his $115 billion and $230 billion AI revenue targets had not changed at all. In the same week Nvidia, Palantir and Booz Allen restricted their use of Anthropic's models over data retention. Then the Fed: a unanimous 25 basis point hike to 3.75% to 4%, a dot plot at 4.1% for the end of 2026 and 2027, and 12 of 18 officials expecting one more hike this year. Both hosts were on record for no hike and they grade themselves first. The read that follows is about who funds the buildout: CRWV fell 10% on the week carrying $640 million of quarterly interest expense, NVDA finished the week where it started, and ORCL touched $140. Then Muse. META rose every session this week and is up about 10% since the September 8 launch, on 83,000 US iOS downloads in the first days, a top five App Store ranking, and 15 million Meta One subscriptions and trials, against a ChatGPT benchmark of 1 million users in five days. Then cybersecurity, the week's winner: CRWD rose 14% on Monday alone and 19% on the week, ZS rose 18%, PANW rose 13%, on the argument this show made three weeks ago that every AI agent needs an identity.

This is a live show and the chat runs the back half. Bring your tickers and your questions and Daniel and Shay take them on air. On the list: CrowdStrike and Palo Alto after a 14% day, Zscaler after the guide down and the rebound, Meta before Connect on September 23, CoreWeave at $80, Oracle at $150, Nvidia flat through the worst semiconductor day since July, Micron into its September 30 report, Intel on the SK Hynix talks, and whether a Fed at 4% through 2027 changes anything in the AI trade.

If the read helps you make sense of the tape, a like puts the show in front of more investors, and subscribing with the bell on means the next live shows up in your feed while you can still bring a question to it.

The AI doom narrative had its loudest week of the year, and Amazon committed up to $60 billion to Qualcomm chips inside the same seven days. Daniel Newman and Shay Boloor are live at 1 PM ET grading the narrative against the receipts, with the August CPI print a few hours old and a Fed decision five days out.

The slate starts with what got said and what got signed. An Anthropic researcher's resignation post drew 110 million views, the lab's alignment lead put the odds of human extinction inside a decade above 10%, and the Bank of England governor warned the G20 that an AI correction could spread through sovereign debt markets. Against that: AMZN took a $4 billion warrant in QCOM tied to as much as $60 billion of custom inference silicon through 2036, OpenAI raised its compute plan to $750 billion through 2030, AVGO guided roughly $115 billion of AI revenue for fiscal 2027, and Michael Burry covered his CoreWeave short. Then the two prints from Thursday night. ORCL reported into a stock 55% off its high at 20 times forward earnings, carrying $638 billion of backlog, more than $122 billion of debt and negative $23.7 billion of free cash flow last year. ADBE reported at under 10 times forward earnings, down 27% this year, with AI first ARR above $500 million and a CEO handoff on December 1. META is the hot AI name after Muse, its personal agent, hit #3 on the App Store in two days and JPMorgan moved its target to $820. Underneath all of it: WTI above $100, a 10 year Treasury above 4.9% for the first time since 2023, producer prices up 5.4%, and a September 16 rate hike priced near 56%.

This is a live show and the chat runs the back half. Bring your tickers and your questions and Daniel and Shay take them on air. On the list: Oracle after the print, Adobe under 10 times earnings, Meta before Connect, whether to chase Qualcomm, what a hike does to the AI trade, oil above $100, and whether the doom talk is a sell signal or a buy signal.

Four AI and software companies reported after Tuesday's close. Two more report after Wednesday's close, roughly an hour after this show ends. Daniel Newman and Shay Boloor are live in the middle of it, grading the prints that landed and putting their bars on the ones that have not, with the 10 year Treasury at its highest level since January 2025 sitting underneath all of it.

The slate is the heart of software and AI infrastructure earnings season. DELL guided to $44B to $45B of revenue with roughly $15.5B of AI servers expected, and its infrastructure operating margin had already fallen from 14.8% to 10.5% as DRAM and NAND costs climbed, on a stock up more than 260% this year with $24.4B of AI orders in backlog. PANW closed its fiscal year with next generation security ARR of $8.13B growing 60% and about 2,280 platformized customers, trading near 98 times forward earnings. MDB guided Atlas to 26% growth with the street looking two to three points higher. CRDO guided to $465M to $475M against $223M a year ago, with a $600M optical ramp in focus. AVGO reports after the close with roughly $16B of AI semiconductor revenue guided, a $73B AI backlog, and at least five custom silicon customers including Alphabet, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Anthropic and OpenAI. SNOW follows with product revenue guided to $1.42B, up 30%. Around every one of them: Brent crude above $93, a 10 year at 4.78%, ISM prices paid stuck at 71.1, and September rate hike odds that went from 39.9% on August 21 to a coin flip.

This is a live show and the chat runs the back half. Drop your tickers and your questions and Daniel and Shay take them on air. If you own DELL after a 260% year and want to know whether backlog beats margin, if you are weighing PANW where the street's average target sits about 2% above the price, or if you want the bars on AVGO stated out loud before the print lands, this hour is built for that.

The most important print of the quarter cleared every bar it was given. Nvidia posted $96.2B against a $92B consensus, guided next quarter to $108B, and for the first time in five prints the stock went up instead of down. Then software stole the night anyway. Daniel Newman and Shay Boloor are live on all of it, three hours after Kevin Warsh's first Jackson Hole keynote.

The slate runs deep this week. NVDA held gross margins at exactly 75% while warning that memory costs pull Q4 margins down to 71 to 72%, with the Vera Rubin platform already the fastest ramp in company history. CRWD posted a record $333M of net new AI driven ARR, up 51%, and called it the best quarter in company history. OKTA jumped about 20% to a new high after raising guidance a second time, with $4.86B of contracted backlog. CRM crossed $1.5B of Agentforce revenue, up over 240%, with 3.2 billion agent tasks executed in a single quarter. MRVL reported its first quarter since Google tied $12.2B of equity to $120B of chip purchases. And the 30 year Treasury cooled to 5.17% from a 2007 era high while the Fed weighs a September move.

This is a live show, and the chat drives the back half. Drop your tickers and questions and Daniel and Shay will take them on air. If you hold NVDA after the print, watched CRWD and OKTA rip and wonder if the move is real, or want the same day read on what Warsh said this morning, this hour is built for you.

The rate relief lasted exactly one week. The 30-year Treasury hit 5.33%, its highest level since 2007, Treasury's intervention held for one day, and the S&P 500 slid to 7,715 five days before the most important earnings print of the quarter. Daniel Newman and Shay Boloor are live on all of it.

The slate runs deep this week. Nvidia (NVDA) reports Wednesday against a $91B guide, a $92B consensus, and a whisper as high as $95B, with options pricing a 6 to 7% move on a stock that fell after each of its last four prints. Anthropic's IPO chatter reached $2 trillion as Citi joined Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan on the deal, with a public filing possible within days and reported revenue run rate jumping from $47B to $65B in two months. Google secured a warrant for 6.3% of Marvell (MRVL), roughly $12.2B in stock that only fully vests if $120B of custom chip orders land, and Broadcom (AVGO) fell 5% on the news while exploring nearly $100B in AI financing of its own. CoreWeave (CRWV) backed paper priced at 10%, the first real repricing of the buildout's cost of capital.

This is a live show, and the chat drives the back half. Drop your tickers and questions and Daniel and Shay will take them on air. If you hold NVDA into Wednesday, wonder whether to touch the Anthropic IPO, or watched the bond market shake your AI names this week, this hour is built for you.

For three straight weeks the market sold its best AI earnings. This week it paid them, and Daniel Newman and Shay Boloor are live on what changed: inflation cooled to 3.4%, September hike odds collapsed to about a third, and the S&P 500 cleared 7,800 for the first time ever.

The slate runs through the whole flip. Supermicro (SMCI) missed revenue at $11.1B and still jumped 15% after guiding fiscal 2027 as high as $72B. Nebius (NBIS) popped 34% on a quarter that roughly quadrupled revenue, CoreWeave (CRWV) grew 112% to $2.58B, and Lenovo nearly doubled its data center business. SpaceX (SPCX) reclaimed its $135 IPO price, up about 40% in two weeks, and Morgan Stanley now frames a $600 bull case built on the Cursor deal closing this quarter. Nvidia (NVDA) signed Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR to mobilize over $500B of third-party capital for AI infrastructure, Microsoft plans a September reveal for its Maia 300 chip, and TSMC (TSM) just printed a record $14.5B month, up 44.7%. A fresh retail sales number lands the morning of the show.

SpaceX just reported earnings for the first time in its history, beat Wall Street by a billion dollars, and the stock fell anyway. Daniel Newman and Shay Boloor are live on the strangest earnings tape of the year, where the best prints of the week got punished and the market is deciding what AI spending is actually worth.

The slate runs through the whole pattern. SpaceX (SPCX) grew revenue 92% to $7.81B with Starlink at 12M subscribers and a $2.56B AI compute segment that beat by nearly $400M. AMD posted $11.54B with data center revenue doubling to $6.7B and guided Q3 to $13B, then gave back 9% after hours. Datadog (DDOG) grew 36%, raised its full-year guide, and had the biggest one-day drop in its history. Cloudflare (NET) walked into its own print at a record high. On the other side of the tape, Palantir (PLTR) grew 93% and jumped 29% on sovereign AI demand, and Arista (ANET) guided nearly $400M above the Street. Behind all of it sits a Fed with three dissents for a hike, Kevin Warsh signaling September is live, and a fresh jobs number from this morning.

This is a live show, and the chat is part of it. Drop your tickers and questions and Daniel and Shay will take them on air. If you're trading earnings season, tracking AI infrastructure, or trying to figure out whether these selloffs are entries, this hour is built for you.

Google earnings, Tesla earnings, and the great AI capex debate. This week GOOGL raised capital spending to as much as 205 billion dollars for the year and the stock fell anyway, and we think the market is misreading the whole thing.

Daniel and Shay break down why Google owning the full AI stack (TPUs, cloud, models, and apps) makes this capex the moat compounding, not money burning, with cloud operating margin tripling to 35.6% and a 514 billion dollar backlog as the receipt.

Then a separate conversation on Tesla, where the spending looks very different because the core margins are compressing. Plus the proof the checks are clearing: Intel's 18A foundry node hitting 85% yield with a cloud customer, and ServiceNow crossing a billion dollars in AI contract value.

We close on what we are watching next week and your questions.

Tickers covered: GOOGL, TSLA, INTC, NOW, NVDA & many more!

Daniel Newman and Shay Boloor are live today to make the case that owning the Mag7 as a basket in 2026 is the wrong trade. The MAGS ETF is down roughly 2% year-to-date while SPY sits positive, and the spread inside that basket is violent enough to demand individual conviction calls on every name.

Here's what's on the table. Only four of the seven Mag7 components are positive YTD. NVDA and GOOGL are leading while MSFT, TSLA, and META carry double-digit 2026 losses. MSFT fell as much as 26% before recovering, and Azure Q2 growth came in around 40% YoY with forward guidance stepping down to 37-38%. TSLA printed 480,126 Q2 deliveries and beat consensus by roughly 18%, but the question is whether that's a thesis restoration or a one-quarter relief rally. META is sitting near $600 heading into July 29 earnings, and the show's position is that any softening of the $125-145B capex guide should be read as a warning. On the AI infrastructure layer, the bid looks real: combined hyperscaler capex tops $700B in 2026, PLTR is up 14.55% over five sessions to $132.54, and software names like NOW, CRWD, and CRM are repricing to AI-native usage models with structural legs. The macro picture complicates everything though. June payrolls came in at 57,000 against a 110-115K consensus, CPI is running at 4.2% YoY, and Fed Chair Warsh has nine of eighteen officials penciling in a hike. The risk envelope for growth equities is wider than the AI story alone.

This is a live show, so bring your tickers and your questions. Drop them in the chat and Daniel and Shay will take them on air. If you're building a watchlist around earnings season, sizing AI infrastructure names, or trying to figure out which Mag7 components still deserve conviction, this conversation is the place to sort it out in real time.
