On this episode of The Weekly Wrap, Steve Eisman covers a pivotal week in markets. Google raised its AI capex to $205 billion, posted negative free cash flow, and saw its stock fall 7%, while Tesla was also down 14.5%. Steve also covers results from GE Vernova, Lockheed Martin, Moody's, Blackstone, and ServiceNow. He closes with two mailbags: One on whether banks belong in a portfolio that's already full of AI exposure, and one explaining the mechanics of the funding short.
