In this mixed earnings and macro episode, Simon and Dan break down Palantir’s explosive growth (and wild stock reaction), Microsoft’s cloud slowdown fears amid massive AI capex, and Starbucks’ underwhelming turnaround outlook. They also dig into what today’s volatility says about tech valuations, why hyperscalers are under pressure to prove returns on AI spending, and whether investors should start looking beyond U.S. equities altogether. Simon wraps up with a framework for international diversification, including emerging markets and ex-U.S. ETFs, and shares how he’s thinking about portfolio positioning going forward.

Tickers of stocks discussed: PLTR, MSFT, SBUX, ARCC, ZEM.TO, VEE, IXUS, VEU, XAW.TO
