In this conversation, Jonathan Wellum of Rocklinc Investment Partners joins Maggie Lake to explain why investors shouldn’t fool themselves about risk, especially as AI begins to disrupt business models across the economy. Jonathan breaks down how value investors should focus on the playing field—what’s actually happening inside a business—rather than the short-term scoreboard of stock prices. He explains what real economic moats look like in the AI era, what matters in a business more than hype, and how to think about energy, electrification, and data center growth without betting on pure AI plays. The conversation also covers today’s stretched market valuations, why you should hold cash and hedges, why tariff risks may already be priced in, and why the structural drivers behind gold remain intact in a world of rising debt. 💡Get To Know Jonathan Wellum: https://youtu.be/ezMiX0FtZ7g 💡 Volatility is the price of uncertainty.
