Talk Your Chart | Market Reversals, AI Interdependence, and What Investors Should Know | Ep. 74
In episode 74 of Talk Your Chart, Brett Horowitz is joined by Lane Jones, Chief Investment Officer at Evensky & Katz / Foldes, to examine some of the most surprising market behaviors of 2025. They break down this year’s historic intraday reversals, why strong economic data can still trigger weak market reactions, and how rate-cut expectations are shaping sentiment. Brett and Lane also unpack the increasingly interconnected world of AI spending, a circular ecosystem where major players are buying from each other, taking on debt, and fueling massive capital cycles that may not match near-term revenue. They compare today’s valuations to long-term earnings trends, assess whether recent rallies reflect real strength or a low-quality surge, and discuss what price and profitability mean in today’s environment.
