Is the market repeating a familiar pattern? In this clip from Tea & Crumpets Episode 103, Will Brown draws parallels between today’s AI-driven market enthusiasm and the late-1990s technology boom.

From AI subscriptions and cloud spending to market concentration and investor psychology, this discussion explores why history remains one of the most valuable tools in investing.

The future may be different—but the lessons from past market cycles are worth remembering.

📈 Why wasn’t SpaceX added to the S&P 500?

In this clip from Tea & Crumpets Episode 103, Adam Eagleston and Will Brown discuss the surprising decision by the S&P Index Committee to keep SpaceX out of the S&P 500—for now.

The conversation explores index rules, forced buying, market influence, and what happens when some of the world’s largest investment vehicles have to buy a stock regardless of valuation.

AI is driving massive earnings growth—but is the story as straightforward as it seems?

In this clip from Tea & Crumpets Episode 103, Adam Eagleston breaks down an important dynamic investors may be overlooking: the difference between how AI suppliers recognize revenue and how many AI buyers account for their spending.

Companies selling chips, servers, and infrastructure are recognizing revenue today, while many of the companies purchasing that technology are spreading those costs over years. The result? Earnings growth can look incredibly strong in the short term—but questions remain about how sustainable that growth will be.

It’s a nuanced discussion about AI, accounting, and the forces driving today’s market narrative.

📊 Are companies really earning what investors think they’re earning?

In this clip from Tea & Crumpets Episode 103, Will and Adam break down the difference between operating earnings, cash flow, and the non-operating gains that may be inflating the appearance of corporate performance.

While these accounting treatments may be perfectly acceptable under GAAP rules, the bigger question is whether they’re sustainable. As valuations climb and lockup expirations approach, investors may want to look beyond headline earnings and ask what’s actually driving the numbers.

Could today’s market leaders be more vulnerable than they appear?
