On TCAF this week, Josh and Michael spoke with John Mowrey, Chief Investment Officer at NFJ Investment Group. They discussed the free fall in software stocks, what makes a value stock, how to measure a bear market, and the crypto crash. (Listen)

INSIDE THE COMPOUND

Josh Brown at Downtown Josh Brown has a new post up looking at the downgrade in software stocks this week and highlights a potential solution to the dilemma of AI disruption. He writes:

I’m using the backronym H.A.L.O. to describe the types of stocks that I expect to serve as a winning haven from this year’s feverish pitch of disruption fear. HALO stands for Heavy Assets, Low Obsolescence. These are undistruptable companies from an AI standpoint. There’s nothing Sundar Pichai and Sam Altman can take from them.
