AI Capex - Back to Infrastructure | Protect the Pile: Episode 7

Markets are pushing new highs, but RPK, Sam and John argue the tape still feels “choppy”—with volatility staying sticky and credit showing early warning signs.  They then unpack the AI buildout: why software’s upside may get pressured as AI agents reshape pricing, and why the real bottleneck could be “stuff” like data centers, chips, and especially power.  Guest Jay Van Sciver lays out what this could mean for industrials and the grid, then they hit transports/tariffs, detour into Tesla/SpaceX structure risk, and close with Q&A on managing earnings grenades through sizing and risk discipline.  Get an investing edge on the enormous amount of money flowing into options every day, what they’re signaling, and the structural and behavioral trends driving markets higher or lower.
