Louisiana’s Economic (SpaceX) Rocket

Louisiana is having an economic moment. Doug and Greg talk about the massive new SpaceX investment and why it could be one of the biggest development wins in state history. Then, they turn to the markets, where Nvidia’s staggering growth and continued AI infrastructure spending are showing few signs of slowing down. The guys also discuss why today’s AI boom looks fundamentally different from the speculative excesses of 2020–2021, what an upcoming wave of major IPOs could signal, and what they’re watching for as the market continues to push near record highs.
