In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down with Seth Cogswell, Managing Partner at Running Oak Capital, to break down why today’s market feels increasingly speculative and why disciplined investing is being left behind.
From meme-style factor leadership and zombie-company outperformance to extreme concentration and AI spending risk, Cogswell explains why chasing returns tends to end the same way and how investors can position for when the cycle turns.
In this episode:
– Why the last eight months looked like a speculative outlier
– How high volatility and low quality leadership distorts portfolios
– How AI spending can flip from narrative to accountability
– Where discipline fits when clients still want growth exposure
