While Nvidia and other semiconductor companies dominate the artificial intelligence conversation, Ross argues that the AI revolution cannot function without one critical component: memory. He breaks down Micron’s role in the booming AI infrastructure market, why high-bandwidth memory (HBM) has become essential for advanced AI processors and data centers, and why increasing demand for memory could fundamentally change the way Wall Street values Micron.Ross examines the history of MU stock, Micron’s highly cyclical past, and why the current AI memory boom may represent something different from previous semiconductor cycles. He explains how HBM, DRAM, AI servers, data centers, AI PCs, smartphones, autonomous vehicles, and robotics are creating massive new demand for advanced memory. Ross also discusses the relationship between supply constraints and pricing power, why semiconductor manufacturing capacity cannot be expanded overnight, and how Micron could benefit as AI infrastructure spending continues to accelerate. He also explains why the AI investment opportunity goes far beyond Nvidia and why companies supplying the critical infrastructure behind artificial intelligence may become some of the biggest winners of the AI boom.Finally, Ross breaks down his bullish Micron stock analysis while addressing the risks investors need to understand ahead of Micron’s upcoming earnings. He discusses competition from SK Hynix and Samsung, the risks of semiconductor oversupply, geopolitical exposure, capital expenditures, HBM adoption, pricing, margins, and the dangers of chasing a stock simply because its price has already moved higher. Ross explains what he will be watching in Micron earnings, why investors should focus on future demand and economics rather than a single quarterly number, and why he believes AI may have permanently increased the strategic importance of memory. For investors researching Micron stock, MU stock prediction, AI stocks, semiconductor stocks, HBM memory, Nvidia alternatives, Micron earnings, and artificial intelligence investing, this episode breaks down the bull case, the risks, and the long-term opportunity.Topics CoveredMicron stock analysis and MU stock outlookWhy Micron could be an overlooked AI stockMicron Technology and the artificial intelligence revolutionWhy AI needs high-bandwidth memory (HBM)Ross Mandell’s bullish thesis on MicronWhy Wall Street may need to revalue MicronThe future of MU stock and AI memory demandArtificial intelligence stocks and semiconductor investingWhy “where intelligence goes, memory follows”This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute financial or investment advice.🔗 Links & Resources📌 Book A Call With Rosshttps://buy.stripe.com/9B64gydlh4dJfhXecP5Vu08📲 Follow Ross Mandell on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/rossmandell/⏱️ Chapters00:00 — Micron Stock: The Overlooked AI Memory Opportunity02:34 — Micron Stock History: Booms, Crashes and Memory Cycles05:00 — AI Changes Everything: HBM Memory Explained07:10 — Micron Earnings, Revenue Growth and Profit Margins08:47 — Why the AI Boom Is Bigger Than Nvidia11:44 — Market Risks, AI Valuations and September Volatility13:02 — Micron Risks: Samsung, SK Hynix, Oversupply and Taiwan14:07 — What Ross Is Watching in Micron’s September 30 Earnings15:33 — Ross Mandell’s Bullish Micron Stock Thesis17:51 — The AI Gold Rush: Why Micron Could Be a Major Winner Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ross traces IonQ’s story from the early development of trapped-ion quantum computing to becoming the first publicly traded pure-play quantum computing company. He also explains why IONQ stock has experienced extreme volatility, falling from roughly $31 to near $3 before eventually recovering, and why he believes investors need to separate short-term stock price movements from the long-term potential of quantum computing technology. Ross breaks down how IonQ’s trapped-ion quantum computers differ from the superconducting systems being developed by companies such as IBM and Google, including IonQ’s focus on qubit fidelity, connectivity, error correction, and scalability. He also examines IonQ’s aggressive expansion strategy, including its acquisitions of Oxford Ionics, SkyWater Technology, ID Quantique, Capella Space, Vector Atomic, and other companies designed to build a vertically integrated quantum computing ecosystem. Ross discusses IonQ’s reported revenue growth, cash position, government and defense-related work, semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, DARPA contract, and the company’s roadmap toward significantly larger quantum processors. Finally, Ross gives his IONQ stock prediction and explains why his high-end price target is $100, while also addressing the substantial risks facing investors. IonQ continues to lose significant amounts of money, dilution remains a concern, valuations are aggressive, and the stock has already demonstrated that it can move 40% or more in a short period of time. Ross also discusses Q-Day, quantum encryption, cybersecurity, quantum computing stocks, position sizing, long-term investing, and why he believes the greatest opportunity may exist during the period when a transformative technology is real but the market still questions whether it will succeed. This episode is essential viewing for investors researching IONQ stock, quantum computing stocks, IONQ stock predictions, quantum computing investing, and the future of computing. Topics Covered IONQ stock analysis and IONQ stock prediction Could IONQ stock reach $100?

While investors continue focusing on Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, and other major AI stocks, Ross argues that Amazon is quietly building an AI ecosystem across Amazon Web Services (AWS), cloud computing, artificial intelligence infrastructure, proprietary AI chips, advertising, logistics, and autonomous transportation. He explains why looking at Amazon as simply an e-commerce company could cause investors to miss the much larger investment story developing beneath the surface. Ross takes a deeper look at AWS growth, Amazon’s AI infrastructure spending, Anthropic and Claude, Amazon Bedrock, Trainium and Graviton chips, and the enormous demand for cloud computing created by the AI boom. He explains how Amazon’s investment in Anthropic could potentially create value across several layers at once—from its ownership interest in the AI company to Anthropic purchasing AWS computing capacity and using Amazon’s custom chips. Ross also examines Amazon’s growing advertising business, operating income, capital expenditures, free cash flow, and the key financial metrics investors should watch when evaluating AMZN stock beyond headline earnings. Finally, Ross explains why he remains bullish on Amazon while also addressing the risks facing the company, including massive AI capital expenditures, competition from Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, changing Anthropic valuations, economic weakness, and the possibility of slower AWS growth. He discusses potential Amazon stock price targets, the importance of distinguishing a temporary stock pullback from deterioration in the underlying business, and why Amazon could become a major “picks and shovels” winner of the AI revolution. For investors searching for Amazon stock analysis, AMZN stock predictions, AI stocks to watch, AWS growth, Anthropic stock exposure, or long-term technology investing, this episode offers Ross Mandell’s full investment thesis on one of Wall Street’s biggest companies. Topics Covered Amazon stock analysis and the long-term AMZN investment thesis Why Amazon could be an underestimated AI stock Amazon vs. Nvidia, Microsoft and Alphabet in artificial intelligence Amazon Web Services (AWS) growth and profitability How AI demand is driving cloud computing and data-center expansion Amazon’s massive investment in AI infrastructure Amazon’s investment in Anthropic Anthropic, Claude AI and Amazon Web Services How Amazon Bedrock fits into the generative AI ecosystem Amazon Trainium AI chips and Graviton processors Why Amazon wants alternatives to complete dependence on Nvidia chips AWS contracted demand and Amazon’s capital expenditures Amazon operating income, earnings quality and free cash flow Amazon’s rapidly growing advertising business Zoox, robotaxis and autonomous transportation Amazon vs. Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Risks facing Amazon and AWS investors Amazon stock valuation and potential price targets Why stock pullbacks can create investment opportunities Ross Mandell’s outlook for Amazon stock and the AI boom About Ross Mandell: Ross Mandell is a former Wall Street professional, entrepreneur, author, and capital formation expert.

In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down the massive question surrounding Anthropic’s potential $2 trillion IPO: is this the next great AI company going public, or is the AI bubble about to burst? With investors reportedly targeting one of the largest public offerings in Wall Street history, Ross examines Anthropic’s explosive valuation jump, revenue growth, enterprise AI business model, and why this IPO could become one of the most important market events of the year. Ross compares Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceX, AI stocks, and the broader stock market, explaining why retail investors need to understand the difference between private market hype and public market reality. He also breaks down the risks underneath the headline, including pricing pressure from OpenAI and Chinese open-weight AI models, legal issues involving the Department of Defense, government policy risk, lockup expirations, and why first-day IPO buyers can become exit liquidity for early investors. This episode is a warning for anyone watching the AI bubble, Anthropic IPO, OpenAI IPO, AI stocks, tech valuations, Wall Street IPOs, and the future of artificial intelligence investing. Ross explains why the technology may be real, the growth may be historic, and the opportunity may be enormous — but the valuation still has to make sense.

Ross explains why every major crash in market history starts the same way — not with fear, but with confidence. From the 1929 stock market crash and the Great Depression, to the 1973–74 bear market, Black Monday in 1987, the dot-com bubble, the 2008 financial crisis, and the COVID market crash of 2020, Ross walks through the patterns investors keep repeating. This episode explains the difference between a pullback, a correction, a bear market, and a crash, and why understanding those differences can help investors avoid emotional decisions when volatility hits. Ross also connects market history to today’s economy, including AI stocks, stretched valuations, interest rates, Federal Reserve policy, liquidity, inflation, narrow market leadership, and the possibility that today’s AI boom could become either a new era of productivity or another speculative bubble. The key lesson: markets do not reward prediction — they reward preparation. Ross explains why investors should not try to call the exact top, but instead understand what they own, why they own it, and how they will react when the next market correction comes. This episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to understand stock market crashes, market cycles, AI investing, Federal Reserve policy, investor psychology, market corrections, bear markets, and how to stay disciplined during volatility.

In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross sits down with Dr. Alexandria Lightning, a Las Vegas-based healthcare provider, functional medicine practitioner, entrepreneur, and the woman who recently went viral after the internet connected her to Mark Davis, owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. Dr. Alexandria Lightning opens up about the viral Mark Davis baby mama rumor, how one birthday photo turned into national gossip coverage, why outlets and social media ran with the story, and how she handled suddenly being labeled online. She explains what really happened, how the photo was taken, why the caption was misunderstood, and why she eventually decided to stop defending herself and use the publicity as a business owner. But this conversation goes much deeper than internet rumors. Ross and Dr. Lightning dive into the problems inside the modern healthcare system, including insurance companies, rushed doctor visits, limited lab testing, Big Pharma, reactive medicine, preventative care, functional medicine, hormones, vitamin D, testosterone, cancer risk, patient advocacy, and why many people are told they are “normal” even when they still feel sick, tired, anxious, depressed, or unmotivated. Dr. Lightning explains why she became a healthcare disruptor, why she moved away from the traditional insurance-based medical model, and how functional medicine looks for signs of dysfunction before disease fully develops. She also shares her personal story, including growing up in Fort Wayne, Indiana, being raised by the father who later legally adopted her, experiencing prejudice from different sides, moving to Los Angeles, building a business, becoming a mother, and ultimately opening her own practice in Las Vegas. This episode is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making decisions about testing, medication, supplements, hormones, or treatment.

Join Ross’s Patreon Community for exclusive content and LIVE events https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheRealRossMandell?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down one of the most misunderstood and controversial strategies on Wall Street: short selling. Short selling creates emotion every time the stock market drops. People accuse short sellers of attacking companies, driving stocks lower, or manipulating the market. But Ross explains why most people criticizing short selling do not actually understand how it works. Ross explains the basics of how short selling works, why investors borrow shares, sell them into the market, and try to buy them back at a lower price. He also breaks down why short selling can be one of the most dangerous strategies in finance, because unlike buying a stock, where your maximum loss is limited, a short position can create theoretically unlimited losses. This episode also explores why Wall Street allows short selling, how it creates market liquidity, why it helps with price discovery, and why responsible short sellers can sometimes expose overvalued companies, financial fraud, weak balance sheets, and unrealistic market hype before the rest of the market catches up. Ross discusses major Wall Street examples, including Michael Burry and The Big Short, the psychology of being early on a bearish thesis, the risks of betting against popular stocks, and why even brilliant investors can lose money when timing goes against them. The episode also explains short squeezes, including how forced buying, margin calls, and crowded short positions can send stocks soaring. Ross breaks down the market mechanics behind famous short squeeze examples like GameStop in 2021 and Volkswagen in 2008, showing why prices sometimes move because of market structure instead of company fundamentals. If you want to become a smarter investor, this episode will help you understand both sides of the market: bulls and bears, buying and shorting, optimism and skepticism, risk and reward. Even if you never short a stock, understanding short selling can completely change the way you see the stock market. This episode is for educational and informational purposes only and is not financial advice. Topics Covered: What short selling is and how it works Why short sellers borrow shares and sell them The difference between buying stocks and shorting stocks Why short selling has unlimited risk How Wall Street uses short selling Why short selling creates liquidity in the stock market How short sellers help with price discovery Why markets need both bulls and bears Michael Burry, The Big Short, and contrarian investing Why being early can feel exactly like being wrong How short squeezes happen GameStop, Volkswagen, and forced buying Margin calls, risk management, and market psychology Why short selling is controversial How understanding short selling makes you a smarter investor About Ross Mandell: Ross Mandell is a former Wall Street professional, entrepreneur, author, and capital formation expert.

In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down why professional investors pay close attention to Treasury yields, crude oil, interest rates, inflation, the U.S. dollar, and commodities before they make decisions in the stock market. Most retail investors wake up asking, “What is the stock market doing today?” Ross explains why that may be the wrong question. The better question is: what are bonds and oil telling us before stocks begin to move? Ross explains how the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield impacts mortgage rates, auto loans, commercial real estate financing, corporate borrowing, business growth, and how Wall Street values companies like Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, and Amazon. He also breaks down why rising interest rates can hurt high-growth stocks and why future earnings become less valuable when the cost of money goes up. This episode also dives into the power of the 30-year Treasury bond, why Ross views it as Wall Street’s long-term opinion on America’s future, and what higher yields may signal about inflation, debt, uncertainty, and the economy. Ross then shifts to oil prices, explaining why crude oil is much more than just the price of gas. Oil affects trucking, shipping, airlines, manufacturing, packaging, agriculture, construction, food distribution, and nearly every business on earth. From the 1973 Arab oil embargo to the Iranian Revolution, the Gulf War, and the Russia-Ukraine war, Ross explains how oil shocks have historically impacted inflation, interest rates, investor confidence, and the stock market. If you want to become a smarter investor, this episode explains why you should stop only watching stock charts and start studying the forces that move stocks: bonds, oil, inflation, interest rates, earnings, investor psychology, and the Federal Reserve. Ross Mandell gives investors a clear lesson: stocks are the movie, but bonds write the script. This episode is for educational and informational purposes only and is not financial advice. Topics Covered: Why Wall Street watches bonds before stocks How the 10-year Treasury yield affects the stock market Why interest rates change how investors value companies The connection between bonds, inflation, and corporate earnings Why high-growth stocks can struggle when rates rise The 30-year Treasury bond and America’s financial future How oil prices impact inflation and the economy Why crude oil acts like a hidden tax on consumers Historical oil shocks and stock market volatility What investors should watch before buying stocks Why retail investors often react too late How to think like a professional investor About Ross Mandell: Ross Mandell is a former Wall Street professional, entrepreneur, author, and capital formation expert who shares real-world insight on investing, Wall Street, public markets, private markets, IPOs, capital raising, entrepreneurship, risk, discipline, and wealth creation.

In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross sits down with John McGuire for a powerful conversation about mortgages, home ownership, real estate, debt, banks, financial education, and the truth behind the American Dream. For generations, Americans have been told that buying a home is the safest path to building wealth. But is your home really an asset — or is it a liability designed to keep you paying banks for decades? Ross and John break down why the traditional mortgage system may benefit banks more than homeowners, why paying off your mortgage may not always be the smartest financial move, and how people should think differently about equity, debt, interest, and wealth building. This episode challenges one of the biggest beliefs in personal finance: that owning a home automatically means you are building wealth. Ross and John explain how mortgages work, how banks make money through interest, why homeowners often misunderstand equity, and why liquidity, leverage, cash flow, and opportunity cost matter more than most people realize. They also discuss the difference between good debt and bad debt, why financial literacy is missing in America, how the banking system profits from traditional thinking, and why many people spend their entire lives chasing a version of the American Dream that may not actually make them financially free. If you are interested in real estate investing, mortgages, home ownership, personal finance, financial literacy, wealth building, banks, interest rates, debt strategy, home equity, paying off your mortgage, cash flow, and how to build long-term wealth, this episode gives you a direct and thought-provoking breakdown of what most people were never taught about money. Topics Covered: Why your home may not be the asset you think it is The truth about mortgages and home ownership How banks make money from long-term debt Why paying off your mortgage could be a financial mistake The difference between equity, liquidity, and cash flow How interest rates affect real estate and wealth building Why the American Dream may benefit banks more than families Good debt vs. bad debt Why financial literacy matters more than ever How to think differently about real estate, leverage, and opportunity cost Why traditional money advice can keep people stuck Building wealth outside of the standard mortgage mindset About Ross Mandell: Ross Mandell is a former Wall Street professional, entrepreneur, author, and capital formation expert who shares real-world insight on investing, Wall Street, personal finance, business, capital markets, entrepreneurship, wealth creation, and the psychology of money. 🔗 Links & Resources 📌 Book A Call With Ross https://buy.stripe.com/6oUfZggxt25Bc5Ld8L5Vu05 Join Ross’s Patreon Community for exclusive content and LIVE events https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheRealRossMandell?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator 📲 Follow Ross Mandell on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/rossmandell/ 📲 Follow John McGuire On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/john.w.mcguire/ ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 — Why Your Home Is Not an Asset 08:40 — Mortgage Equity, Bank Permission and the Homeownership Trap 17:20 — Liquidity, HELOCs and Why Cash Beats Home Equity 26:00 — Real Estate, Depreciation and Smart Money Decisions 34:40 — Property Taxes, Whole Life Insurance and Building Wealth 43:20 — Credit Card Debt, Term Life Insurance and Financial Discipline 52:00 — John McGuire’s Miami Expansion and Private Wealth Strategy

Before a stock ever starts trading on the Nasdaq or New York Stock Exchange, there is an intense behind-the-scenes process where CEOs, founders, bankers, analysts, institutional investors, and hedge funds all fight for position. Ross explains how the IPO process works, why the roadshow matters, how Wall Street sells a deal, and what most retail investors never get to see. Ross takes viewers inside the pressure of the IPO roadshow, where companies must pitch their story to major investors, answer tough questions, defend their valuation, and convince institutions to buy shares before the stock hits the public market. He explains how bankers create demand, how pricing decisions are made, why momentum matters, and why the best IPOs are often decided long before everyday investors can buy in. This episode also explores the psychology of Wall Street: fear, greed, ego, access, power, and the relationship between investment banks and institutional money. Ross shares his perspective from decades in the market on how deals are positioned, how hype is built, and why understanding the roadshow can help investors better understand IPO stocks, market cycles, and capital formation. If you are interested in IPOs, IPO roadshows, Wall Street, investment banking, hedge funds, stock market investing, private companies going public, Nasdaq listings, public offerings, IPO pricing, capital markets, and how money is raised on Wall Street, this episode gives you a direct breakdown from someone who lived inside that world.

The next major wealth cycle could be created by the businesses that build, power, cool, and operate the physical backbone of artificial intelligence.
