Wall Street vet Kenny Polcari, Chief Market Strategist for SlateStone Wealth, brings you expert advice and key market insights from the New York Stock Exchange.
Every investor worries about returns, but this Trader Talk episode shows why taxes, timing, and temperament can matter even more than the next hot stock. Kenny Polcari sits down with Adam Johnson, veteran hedge fund manager and founder of Bullseye Brief, to break down three big myths about AI stocks, from spending fears to bubble talk, and why names across the AI ecosystem may still have room to run despite recent pullbacks.

They wrap with what Fed rate cuts in 2026 could mean for mortgages, housing affordability and anyone trying to stay disciplined through the noise.
