Summary

There are some stunningly large data points pulling the market in different directions between cash on the sidelines and market valuations. These numbers can be a little paralyzing for investors without context and sifting through the signal versus the noise. Plus, space investing is having its week in the sun and wrapping up second quarter earnings. Matt Frankel, Jon Quast, and Tyler Crowe discuss: – The massive cash pile sitting on the sidelines – How they invest when broader signals say the market’s overvalued. – The fast changing landscape in the space indsury – Second quarter earnings surprises from Dlocal, Circle Internet Group, and Sea Limited. Companies discussed: BAC, BA, LMT, RKLB, FLY, NOC, DLO, CRCL, SE Host: Tyler Crowe Guests: Matt Frankel, Jon Quast.

0:00.0	Making sense of market headline herperpally, the space industry is taking off, and companies
0:10.6	are still posting surprisingly strong earnings results.

0:20.6	This is Motley Full Money. Thanks for listening. I'm Tyler Crow, joined by longtime fools,
0:25.3	Matt Frankel, and John Quast. You know, we got a pretty busy slate today. We're going to cover
0:29.1	big earnings from C-limited Circle Internet Group and D-Local, and we're going to tackle some of the

0:38.6	we're going to talk about animal spirits and kind of take a pulse of the market because I think
