Know Your Risk Podcast

August 11, 2026 - Zach and Chase discuss the increasingly difficult math behind the AI buildout as projected infrastructure spending climbs into the trillions, while the productivity gains needed to justify that investment remain far less obvious. They also break down escalating attacks on global oil infrastructure, why Iran may be content to let the current standoff drag on, tomorrow's potentially important inflation print, rising long-term Treasury yields, the Fort Knox gold debate, and why soaring equity valuations may encourage corporate America to unleash a wave of new stock issuance.

The AI Boom Is Running Into a Math Problem

August 10, 2026 – Zach Abraham and Chase Taylor dig into one of the strangest dynamics in the AI buildout: companies helping finance the customers buying their own products. They discuss Nvidia’s reported push toward a massive financing structure, why real AI demand can coexist with serious questions about capital scarcity and return on investment, and why Zach is willing to reconsider parts of his AI thesis without ignoring the financial risks underneath it. They also cover rising oil and Treasury yields, the latest developments involving Iran and the Strait, and why investors have to separate what they want to happen from what the incentives and fundamentals actually suggest.

AI Is Financing Its Own Boom

August 7, 2026 – AI is generating enormous amounts of revenue—but Zach Abraham and Chase Taylor argue investors may be confusing the money being made building AI with the money ultimately generated using it. They revisit the AI bull case, the extraordinary capital spending behind the buildout, and why the companies selling the picks and shovels may be telling a very different story from the businesses expected to eventually justify the investment. They also break down the latest jobs report, inflation risks, oil-market tightness, developments around Iran, and what the market may be overlooking heading into the second half of the year.

AI Is Making Money...Just Not Where You Think

August 6, 2026 – Has the AI debate reached a turning point? Zach Abraham and Chase Taylor revisit one of their biggest investing themes after hearing a compelling counterargument from venture capitalist Gavin Baker. They discuss why the AI buildout may be more durable than skeptics expected, whether capital spending is actually creating long-term value, rising Treasury yields, oil's rebound, and why changing your mind when the facts change is a strength—not a weakness.

The AI Bear Case Just Got Much Harder

August 5, 2026 – One of the most dangerous investing mistakes isn't believing someone else—it's believing yourself too much. Flying solo, Zach Abraham discusses why the best investors constantly challenge their own assumptions, revisits the AI investment debate with a surprising counterargument, explains why chip companies may deserve a second look, and why separating conviction from confirmation bias is critical in today's market. He also covers oil, geopolitics, and why great investing often starts by asking, "What if I'm wrong?"

The Biggest Investing Mistake Might Be Your Own Conviction

August 4, 2026 – Stocks pushed to fresh highs as investors embraced optimism around the Middle East, falling oil prices, and lower Treasury yields. But has anything fundamentally changed? Chase Taylor discusses why markets may be reacting more to headlines than reality, whether the recent drop in oil prices is justified, how negotiations with Iran could actually unfold, and why Japan's currency intervention may not solve its underlying problems. They also break down market leadership, Treasury yields, Bitcoin as a liquidity indicator, and why investors should separate short-term narratives from long-term fundamentals.

The Headlines Changed. Reality Didn't.

August 3, 2026 – Markets continue climbing even as long-term Treasury yields remain elevated, geopolitical risks persist, and investors pour even more money into the biggest AI winners. Zach Abraham and Chase Taylor discuss why the latest hyperscaler rally may be one of the strangest market moves they've ever seen, how market structure is overwhelming traditional price discovery, whether AI spending is creating a dangerous feedback loop, and why political incentives continue to complicate both monetary policy and global energy markets. They also cover negotiations with Iran, oil prices, the Fed's increasingly difficult position, and why understanding incentives matters more than chasing headlines.

This Might Be the Dumbest Market We've Ever Seen

July 31, 2026 – Amazon's earnings, Apple's selloff, soaring Treasury yields, and AI spending continue to send conflicting signals across the market. So what's actually driving prices? Zach Abraham and Chase Taylor discuss why hyperscaler valuations continue to climb despite rising rates, whether Microsoft's accounting changes reveal a deeper issue with AI economics, why Amazon's capital spending could create opportunities elsewhere, and what today's market structure says about price discovery. They also break down developments in the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the Fed's growing challenge as long-term yields rise, and why political incentives continue to shape economic decisions.

The AI Bubble Has a Bigger Problem Than Valuations

July 30, 2026 – Microsoft surged after earnings, Amazon rallied, Meta stumbled, and the market celebrated another wave of AI optimism. But beneath the headlines is a much bigger question. Zach Abraham and Chase Taylor examine what Microsoft's results actually mean, why extending data center depreciation schedules caught their attention, whether Wall Street is properly valuing AI infrastructure, and why long-term Treasury yields may still matter more than the latest earnings beat. They also discuss Japan's currency intervention, bond market signals, commodities, and why markets often look strongest just as investors stop asking the hard questions.

Microsoft Just Changed the AI Math

July 29, 2026 – Zach Abraham and Chase Taylor break down the latest Federal Reserve meeting, why rising long-term Treasury yields may be doing the Fed's job for them, and what that means for investors. They discuss the implications of 5%+ long bonds, market liquidity, AI infrastructure spending, Apple's valuation, Japan, and why today's market may be entering a very different phase than investors have grown accustomed to.

The Bond Market Just Took Control

June 8, 2026 - Zach and Chase discuss why investors may be misreading the current environment as risk appetite returns across markets. They break down the growing excitement surrounding a potential SpaceX IPO, why speculative behavior appears to be resurfacing, and what it says about investor psychology. The conversation also covers Bitcoin, AI spending, inflation, energy markets, demographic shifts, Washington state tax policy, and why the Strait of Hormuz situation may still be the most important unresolved story in global markets.
