Seafarer's Foster: For emerging markets A.I. stocks, this is a bubble
from Money Life with Chuck Jaffe
Andrew Foster, founder and co-chief investment officer at Seafarer Capital Partners, says he thinks "a bubble has formed amongst certain artificial intelligence stocks, particularly some of those that were propelling Korea higher," but despite that emerging markets are coming out of a lost decade and the "picture in the emerging markets [outside of the inflating bubble] is quite broad-based and good." Fostesays investors should be looking to emerging markets to get non-dollar exposure and diversification, but also for growth that will accelerate over 60 percent in the next year, and while much of the growth is driven by the tech sector — where he worries about the bubble — the growth rate excluding technology is over 20 percent, which should generate strong returns moving forward, even as the building bubble deflates. Dawn Wotapka, former director of strategic communications and media relations at Honeywell, talks about what it's like to lose a job in an economy that is near full employment but artificial intelligence is making the employment picture murkier. Wotapka, a former Wall Street Journal reporter, recently wrote a piece on LinkedIn on going through a job loss that's been longer than expected from when the layoffs were announced, and how she has made it that her story was not the classic "It's a depression when you lose your job" tale. Plus, Chuck responds to a listener's question about a recent interview that suggested that investors have no reason to hold bonds, and how his own opinion differs from the expert who was on the show, but not by as much as the long-time listener who wrote the question might think.
