In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down why he believes Amazon stock (AMZN) may be one of the most underestimated artificial intelligence stocks in the market. While investors continue focusing on Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, and other major AI stocks, Ross argues that Amazon is quietly building an AI ecosystem across Amazon Web Services (AWS), cloud computing, artificial intelligence infrastructure, proprietary AI chips, advertising, logistics, and autonomous transportation. He explains why looking at Amazon as simply an e-commerce company could cause investors to miss the much larger investment story developing beneath the surface.

Ross takes a deeper look at AWS growth, Amazon’s AI infrastructure spending, Anthropic and Claude, Amazon Bedrock, Trainium and Graviton chips, and the enormous demand for cloud computing created by the AI boom. He explains how Amazon’s investment in Anthropic could potentially create value across several layers at once—from its ownership interest in the AI company to Anthropic purchasing AWS computing capacity and using Amazon’s custom chips. Ross also examines Amazon’s growing advertising business, operating income, capital expenditures, free cash flow, and the key financial metrics investors should watch when evaluating AMZN stock beyond headline earnings.

Finally, Ross explains why he remains bullish on Amazon while also addressing the risks facing the company, including massive AI capital expenditures, competition from Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, changing Anthropic valuations, economic weakness, and the possibility of slower AWS growth. He discusses potential Amazon stock price targets, the importance of distinguishing a temporary stock pullback from deterioration in the underlying business, and why Amazon could become a major “picks and shovels” winner of the AI revolution. For investors searching for Amazon stock analysis, AMZN stock predictions, AI stocks to watch, AWS growth, Anthropic stock exposure, or long-term technology investing, this episode offers Ross Mandell’s full investment thesis on one of Wall Street’s biggest companies.

In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross sits down with Melissa Butterworth, founder of Advanced Strategic Partners, to break down the world of mergers and acquisitions, business acquisition, buying and selling businesses, medical diagnostics, entrepreneurship, and building wealth through deal-making. Melissa shares how she went from growing up on a dairy farm in Virginia to becoming a top producer in medical sales before getting fired — a moment that pushed her into building her own path in M&A.

Melissa explains how she found a gap in the laboratory and medical diagnostics industry, built relationships, found her first client, and closed her first major lab deal for $32 million, earning roughly $3.2 million from that transaction. She also discusses larger deals in the industry, including a deal close to $200 million, and gives insight into how successful business acquisitions, deal structure, buyer needs, equity, brokerage fees, and strategic partnerships work behind the scenes.

This conversation is also about resilience, discipline, faith, purpose, overcoming fear, women in business, and turning pain into success.

In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down the massive question surrounding Anthropic’s potential $2 trillion IPO: is this the next great AI company going public, or is the AI bubble about to burst? With investors reportedly targeting one of the largest public offerings in Wall Street history, Ross examines Anthropic’s explosive valuation jump, revenue growth, enterprise AI business model, and why this IPO could become one of the most important market events of the year.

Ross compares Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceX, AI stocks, and the broader stock market, explaining why retail investors need to understand the difference between private market hype and public market reality. He also breaks down the risks underneath the headline, including pricing pressure from OpenAI and Chinese open-weight AI models, legal issues involving the Department of Defense, government policy risk, lockup expirations, and why first-day IPO buyers can become exit liquidity for early investors.

This episode is a warning for anyone watching the AI bubble, Anthropic IPO, OpenAI IPO, AI stocks, tech valuations, Wall Street IPOs, and the future of artificial intelligence investing. Ross explains why the technology may be real, the growth may be historic, and the opportunity may be enormous — but the valuation still has to make sense.

In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down one of the biggest questions facing investors right now: is the stock market headed for a correction, a bear market, or a full market crash?

Ross explains why every major crash in market history starts the same way — not with fear, but with confidence. From the 1929 stock market crash and the Great Depression, to the 1973–74 bear market, Black Monday in 1987, the dot-com bubble, the 2008 financial crisis, and the COVID market crash of 2020, Ross walks through the patterns investors keep repeating.

This episode explains the difference between a pullback, a correction, a bear market, and a crash, and why understanding those differences can help investors avoid emotional decisions when volatility hits.

Ross also connects market history to today’s economy, including AI stocks, stretched valuations, interest rates, Federal Reserve policy, liquidity, inflation, narrow market leadership, and the possibility that today’s AI boom could become either a new era of productivity or another speculative bubble.

The key lesson: markets do not reward prediction — they reward preparation. Ross explains why investors should not try to call the exact top, but instead understand what they own, why they own it, and how they will react when the next market correction comes.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to understand stock market crashes, market cycles, AI investing, Federal Reserve policy, investor psychology, market corrections, bear markets, and how to stay disciplined during volatility.

This episode is for educational and informational purposes only and is not financial advice.

Stock market crash warning
Market correction vs bear market vs crash
Why every crash begins with confidence
1929 stock market crash and the Great Depression
1973–74 bear market and inflation

In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross sits down with Dr. Alexandria Lightning, a Las Vegas-based healthcare provider, functional medicine practitioner, entrepreneur, and the woman who recently went viral after the internet connected her to Mark Davis, owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. Dr. Alexandria Lightning opens up about the viral Mark Davis baby mama rumor, how one birthday photo turned into national gossip coverage, why outlets and social media ran with the story, and how she handled suddenly being labeled online. She explains what really happened, how the photo was taken, why the caption was misunderstood, and why she eventually decided to stop defending herself and use the publicity as a business owner. But this conversation goes much deeper than internet rumors. Ross and Dr. Lightning dive into the problems inside the modern healthcare system, including insurance companies, rushed doctor visits, limited lab testing, Big Pharma, reactive medicine, preventative care, functional medicine, hormones, vitamin D, testosterone, cancer risk, patient advocacy, and why many people are told they are “normal” even when they still feel sick, tired, anxious, depressed, or unmotivated. Dr. Lightning explains why she became a healthcare disruptor, why she moved away from the traditional insurance-based medical model, and how functional medicine looks for signs of dysfunction before disease fully develops. She also shares her personal story, including growing up in Fort Wayne, Indiana, being raised by the father who later legally adopted her, experiencing prejudice from different sides, moving to Los Angeles, building a business, becoming a mother, and ultimately opening her own practice in Las Vegas. This episode is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making decisions about testing, medication, supplements, hormones, or treatment.

Short selling creates emotion every time the stock market drops. People accuse short sellers of attacking companies, driving stocks lower, or manipulating the market. But Ross explains why most people criticizing short selling do not actually understand how it works. Ross explains the basics of how short selling works, why investors borrow shares, sell them into the market, and try to buy them back at a lower price. He also breaks down why short selling can be one of the most dangerous strategies in finance, because unlike buying a stock, where your maximum loss is limited, a short position can create theoretically unlimited losses. This episode also explores why Wall Street allows short selling, how it creates market liquidity, why it helps with price discovery, and why responsible short sellers can sometimes expose overvalued companies, financial fraud, weak balance sheets, and unrealistic market hype before the rest of the market catches up. Ross discusses major Wall Street examples, including Michael Burry and The Big Short, the psychology of being early on a bearish thesis, the risks of betting against popular stocks, and why even brilliant investors can lose money when timing goes against them. The episode also explains short squeezes, including how forced buying, margin calls, and crowded short positions can send stocks soaring. Ross breaks down the market mechanics behind famous short squeeze examples like GameStop in 2021 and Volkswagen in 2008, showing why prices sometimes move because of market structure instead of company fundamentals. If you want to become a smarter investor, this episode will help you understand both sides of the market: bulls and bears, buying and shorting, optimism and skepticism, risk and reward. Even if you never short a stock, understanding short selling can completely change the way you see the stock market. This episode is for educational and informational purposes only and is not financial advice. Topics Covered: What short selling is and how it works Why short sellers borrow shares and sell them The difference between buying stocks and shorting stocks Why short selling has unlimited risk How Wall Street uses short selling Why short selling creates liquidity in the stock market How short sellers help with price discovery Why markets need both bulls and bears Michael Burry, The Big Short, and contrarian investing Why being early can feel exactly like being wrong How short squeezes happen GameStop, Volkswagen, and forced buying Margin calls, risk management, and market psychology Why short selling is controversial How understanding short selling makes you a smarter investor About Ross Mandell: Ross Mandell is a former Wall Street professional, entrepreneur, author, and capital formation expert.

In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down why professional investors pay close attention to Treasury yields, crude oil, interest rates, inflation, the U.S. dollar, and commodities before they make decisions in the stock market. Most retail investors wake up asking, “What is the stock market doing today?” Ross explains why that may be the wrong question. The better question is: what are bonds and oil telling us before stocks begin to move? Ross explains how the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield impacts mortgage rates, auto loans, commercial real estate financing, corporate borrowing, business growth, and how Wall Street values companies like Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, and Amazon. He also breaks down why rising interest rates can hurt high-growth stocks and why future earnings become less valuable when the cost of money goes up. This episode also dives into the power of the 30-year Treasury bond, why Ross views it as Wall Street’s long-term opinion on America’s future, and what higher yields may signal about inflation, debt, uncertainty, and the economy. Ross then shifts to oil prices, explaining why crude oil is much more than just the price of gas. Oil affects trucking, shipping, airlines, manufacturing, packaging, agriculture, construction, food distribution, and nearly every business on earth.

Ross explains the difference between amateur investors and professionals during periods of market volatility, panic selling, stock market corrections, bear markets, and financial uncertainty. When markets are going up, everyone feels like a genius. But when the market turns, the investors who survive are the ones who understand risk management, position sizing, cash reserves, discipline, and emotional control. This episode dives into the psychology of investing, including why people chase stocks at the top, panic at the bottom, ignore risk when times are good, and overestimate their ability during bull markets. Ross shares his Wall Street perspective on how professionals prepare before volatility hits, how they think through downside risk, and why protecting capital matters just as much as making money. Ross also explains why the market does not care about emotions, opinions, or hope. In a bear market, bad habits get exposed, leverage becomes dangerous, and the investors who were gambling instead of managing risk often learn painful lessons too late. If you are interested in stock market investing, bear markets, bull markets, market crashes, Wall Street risk management, investor psychology, trading discipline, portfolio strategy, and how professional investors survive volatility, this episode gives you Ross Mandell’s direct breakdown of what separates real investors from people who only look smart when the market is going up.

In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross sits down with John McGuire for a powerful conversation about mortgages, home ownership, real estate, debt, banks, financial education, and the truth behind the American Dream. For generations, Americans have been told that buying a home is the safest path to building wealth. But is your home really an asset — or is it a liability designed to keep you paying banks for decades? Ross and John break down why the traditional mortgage system may benefit banks more than homeowners, why paying off your mortgage may not always be the smartest financial move, and how people should think differently about equity, debt, interest, and wealth building. This episode challenges one of the biggest beliefs in personal finance: that owning a home automatically means you are building wealth. Ross and John explain how mortgages work, how banks make money through interest, why homeowners often misunderstand equity, and why liquidity, leverage, cash flow, and opportunity cost matter more than most people realize. They also discuss the difference between good debt and bad debt, why financial literacy is missing in America, how the banking system profits from traditional thinking, and why many people spend their entire lives chasing a version of the American Dream that may not actually make them financially free. If you are interested in real estate investing, mortgages, home ownership, personal finance, financial literacy, wealth building, banks, interest rates, debt strategy, home equity, paying off your mortgage, cash flow, and how to build long-term wealth, this episode gives you a direct and thought-provoking breakdown of what most people were never taught about money. Topics Covered: Why your home may not be the asset you think it is The truth about mortgages and home ownership How banks make money from long-term debt Why paying off your mortgage could be a financial mistake The difference between equity, liquidity, and cash flow How interest rates affect real estate and wealth building Why the American Dream may benefit banks more than families Good debt vs. bad debt Why financial literacy matters more than ever How to think differently about real estate, leverage, and opportunity cost Why traditional money advice can keep people stuck Building wealth outside of the standard mortgage mindset About Ross Mandell: Ross Mandell is a former Wall Street professional, entrepreneur, author, and capital formation expert who shares real-world insight on investing, Wall Street, personal finance, business, capital markets, entrepreneurship, wealth creation, and the psychology of money. 🔗 Links & Resources 📌 Book A Call With Ross https://buy.stripe.com/6oUfZggxt25Bc5Ld8L5Vu05 Join Ross’s Patreon Community for exclusive content and LIVE events https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheRealRossMandell?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator 📲 Follow Ross Mandell on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/rossmandell/ 📲 Follow John McGuire On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/john.w.mcguire/ ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 — Why Your Home Is Not an Asset 08:40 — Mortgage Equity, Bank Permission and the Homeownership Trap 17:20 — Liquidity, HELOCs and Why Cash Beats Home Equity 26:00 — Real Estate, Depreciation and Smart Money Decisions 34:40 — Property Taxes, Whole Life Insurance and Building Wealth 43:20 — Credit Card Debt, Term Life Insurance and Financial Discipline 52:00 — John McGuire’s Miami Expansion and Private Wealth Strategy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Before a stock ever starts trading on the Nasdaq or New York Stock Exchange, there is an intense behind-the-scenes process where CEOs, founders, bankers, analysts, institutional investors, and hedge funds all fight for position. Ross explains how the IPO process works, why the roadshow matters, how Wall Street sells a deal, and what most retail investors never get to see. Ross takes viewers inside the pressure of the IPO roadshow, where companies must pitch their story to major investors, answer tough questions, defend their valuation, and convince institutions to buy shares before the stock hits the public market. He explains how bankers create demand, how pricing decisions are made, why momentum matters, and why the best IPOs are often decided long before everyday investors can buy in. This episode also explores the psychology of Wall Street: fear, greed, ego, access, power, and the relationship between investment banks and institutional money. Ross shares his perspective from decades in the market on how deals are positioned, how hype is built, and why understanding the roadshow can help investors better understand IPO stocks, market cycles, and capital formation.
