Recorded Date - November 8th, 2026With the midterms finally in the rear-view, the voters have spoken—and we're back to break down exactly how and why the market reacted the way it did. We kick things off with the political fallout and what it means for tech with companies suddenly rebranding their data centers as "compute campuses."Next, we tackle an audience-suggested topic: the actual value of internet data. With bot behavior aggressively drowning out "organic" interactions, are we looking at a massive data valuation bubble?We also look ahead at Anthropic's IPO timing, this week’s earnings calendar, and the upcoming macroeconomic news you need to watch.After the break, we take your questions before wrapping up with Stupid Bets—where this week's loser has to explain the market's recent movement without referencing the election!Make sure to subscribe, leave a review, and join the Vol Stars community as we provide weekly deep dives into options mechanics and market reality!
