5. Are We Riding Momentum or Building a Bubble?

This conversation opens with a simple question: how much of today’s market strength is grounded in reality? 

Don Drury and Tom Moran, AIF, welcome Tyler Hardt, CFA, Chief Portfolio Manager at Moran Wealth Management®, to examine the topic from multiple angles—from the scale of AI investment to quieter developments in sectors that have lagged.

They discuss how technology spending has affected corporate balance sheets, what indicators they watch for signs of a slowdown, and how disciplined investors evaluate opportunities and risks. Tyler offers a closer look at healthcare and energy as areas of ongoing monitoring, while Don and Tom consider how current themes echo past market cycles and what practical takeaways may apply.

Rather than predictions, this episode shares how professionals at the table are thinking about the months ahead and what they’re watching, not what they expect will occur.
