John Serva views the massive debt issuance for AI capex as a positive signal of capital availability, not blind euphoria. Investors are doing credit work. He sees no red flags yet but notes credit spreads are historically tight, making bonds 'enhanced treasuries'.

Dan Ives sees the AI trade in the 'third inning, one out' with no cracks in the armor from checks in Taiwan and Korea. He views gut-check moments as buying opportunities for AI winners. He is bullish on Microsoft as the most oversold large cap, and cautious on Meta needing to prove returns on capex.

Frances Donald argues the Fed is finally acknowledging persistent inflation (40% of CPI above 3%), but hiking risks hurting low/middle-income consumers in a K-shaped economy. She sees headline inflation peaking and falling below 2% by mid-2027, but consumer price pain (especially food) will persist. The labor market remains tight due to demographics, not AI.
