The AI Bubble Thesis with Doug Clinton | The Case for a Coming Tech Boom Bigger Than the Dotcom

AI stocks have seen a big run recently. This has led many fundamental-based investors to suggest that things have gotten ahead of themselves. Some have even suggested AI is already in a bubble. But what if we are still in the early innings? What if a bubble is just getting started that could eventually exceed the dotcom bubble? Those are the questions we tackle this week with Deepwater's Doug Clinton. Doug wrote a thought-provoking tweet in which he suggested that studying past tech booms suggests that this one might only be getting started. We dig into that idea with Doug. We also discuss the unique AI driven stock picking strategies he has been running, what AI might mean for the future of investing and a lot more.
