Recorded 5/26/2025. The Stock Jocks debate whether Uber continues to have abundant growth opportunities, or if autonomous vehicles present an existential threat. The Jocks also reflect on the Q1 earnings season, AI ($NVDA, $SMCI, $CRWV, $NBIS), tariffs and the stock market outlook.

The Stock Jocks kick off Episode 20 (recorded 5/4/2025) with a little “locker room talk” on whether they’re buyers or sellers of the recent stock market recovery after the post “Liberation Day” sell-off. This episode’s bull/bear discussion focuses on cryptocurrency specialist Coinbase ($COIN), with Bruce as Bull and Gordon as Bear.

The Stock Jocks provide the bull/bear takes on recent IPO Coreweave ($CRWV). Gordon plays the role of Bull, pitching that fears about AI “poster child” Coreweave’s sustainable competitive advantage are unfounded. In contrast, George presents the Bear case that Coreweave will inevitably be “boxed out” by other cloud players. In the news, we riff on the recent (and massive) tariff-driven market dip and whether investors should buy or sell it.

The Stock Jocks provide their bull/bear takes on another pandemic stock, Docusign ($DOCU). George plays the role of Bull, pitching that their fledgling Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) business can be a “second act” that re-accelerates revenue growth into the teens, while Bruce plays the “negative Nancy” and presents the Bear case. In the news, we hit tariffs and DOGE, the Wiz acquisition and regulatory environment for M&A, $CRWV and the IPO market, $PATH and $RBRK earnings.

In Episode (#17, recorded 2/27/25), the Stock Jocks provide the bull/bear takes on big data and analytics software specialist (and darling of the military-industrial complex) Palantir ($PLTR). As we go to publication, Palantir is falling on budget cuts at the Pentagon! Some timely (and timeless!) stuff found herein - as always, lovingly packaged in adults-only (yet childish) bravado and buffoonery. In the news, we discuss the long-term implications of DeepSeek, closed vs. open models, and who will ultimately capture the economic value in AI ($NVDA, $SMCI, OpenAI ($MSFT), $GOOG). George reiterates his positive view...

In Episode 16 (recorded 2/17/25), George and Gordon provide dizzying insights about 5 companies that have been topics of prior episodes and have also recently reported earnings. Topics: Supermicro ($SMCI), Twilio ($TWLO), Shopify ($SHOP), AppLovin ($APP) and Datadog ($DDOG). We address key questions such as: Is $SMCI still the psychotic ex-girlfriend, or has she changed? Should we let her move back into our hearts and our portfolio? (Gordon insists this metaphor has nothing to do with his pending 2nd divorce.) Is $APP the most under-covered tech story out there? Is $DDOG a “buy” after its recent miss...

In Episode 15 (recorded 1/12/25), the Stock Jocks provide the bull and bear cases for observability leader Datadog ($DDOG). Gordon makes the bull case and argues DDOG can meet or exceed already-high street expectations as the market consolidates among DDOG, Dynatrace ($DT) and New Relic ($NEWR), while George points to a potential in revenue growth driven by decelerating new customer acquisition.

In Episode 14 (recorded December 29, 2024), The Stock Jocks give their bull/bear treatment to high-flying mobile marketing specialist AppLovin ($APP).

In lucky Episode 13 (recorded December 8, 2024), The Stock Jocks give their bull/bear treatment to UIPath ($PATH).  Bruce plays Bull and makes the pitch that Robotic Process Animation specialist UIPath can become a long-term winner from Generative AI. Meanwhile, Gordo takes the role of Bear, and George hosts. In the news segment, the Jocks touch on Rubrik ($RBRK), SentinalOne $S (and in turn CrowdStrike ($CRWD)), the ServiceTitan $TTAN IPO, and $SMCI.

The Stock Jocks look back on the stocks featured in their first 10 episodes ($SMCI, $NET, $DOCN, $LULU, $RBRK, $NTNX, $SHOP, $ON, $CRWD, $TWLO). To the shock of all, Gordon takes the first Just the Tips stock-picking crown based on his prescient insight that $SMCI is trash.

The Stock Jocks give their bull/bear treatment to cloud communications specialist (and beleaguered stock) Twilio ($TWLO), with Gordon hosting once again, George donning the bull horns, and Bruce playing the bear.  In our news segment, we hit a number of topics, including the implications of the coming election, ASML's premature (and disappointing) earnings release, and the set up into Q3 earnings.  $ASML, $TSMC, $INTC, $TSLA, $SMCI, $NVDA

In Episode 9 (recorded September 12, 2024), the Stock Jocks give their bull/bear treatment to security powerhouse Crowdstrike ($CRWD), purveyor of the Falcon platform (hence the episode title, “Flipping the Bird”. So clever and on-brand!) We begin with a heartfelt apology from Gordon on behalf of the team for the month-long delay in the editing room; technical issues nearly killed this gem of an episode but we managed to salvage it through many hours of tedious effort. Gordon hosts, Bruce puts on his bull horns, and George puts on his “other” bear suit (not the one he g...

In Episode 8 (recorded August 11, 2024), the Stock Jocks give their bull/bear treatment power semiconductor specialist Onsemi ($ON). Bull Gordon gets into a virtual “sword fight” with co-host George, who puts on his bear suit (very much unlike the one he dons in his basement on the weekends.)  We of course also recap $SMCI earnings and implications for $NVDA. George would like us to advise listeners that this episode has some particularly “naughty” comments and is hopeful that his mother won’t listen (and give us 1 star!) You’ve been warned! Gordon would like everyone to k...

In Episode 7 (recorded June 28, 2024), the Stock Jocks give their bull/bear treatment to e-commerce specialist Shopify ($SHOP). Bull George (a proud owner of $SHOP) shameless “talks his book” and tries to convince us the put some $SHOP shares in the basket (or we get the hose again!).  Conversely, Bear Bruce makes the case Shopify is basically GoDaddy plus shitty pass-through payment revenue and therefore should be comped to other similarly shitty companies. Listen in to learn why Gordon thinks  Shopify should be hosting bat orgies!

Highlights:

In a blissfully more succinct Episode 6 (recorded June 16, 2024), the Stock Jocks give their customary bull/bear treatment to  hypeconverged infrastructure specialist  Nutanix ($NTNX), which, turns out, is not a breakfast cereal and is instead, per Bear Gordon, “a shitty on-premise box company.” 

Highlights:

(1:50) Gordon´s budding feud with the Reddit Advertising Overlords (We´re still hopeful they may adopt the moniker we´ve given them – “Glory Hole of the Internet”. The Jocks know a “shakedown” when they see one!   

(3:31)  At last, fans of Just t...

In Episode 5 (recorded May 19, 2024), the Stock Jocks give their customary bull/bear treatment to recent IPO and data security specialist Rubrik ($RBRK). Bruce takes his turn as moderator as Gordon makes the case that the stock is just too cheap on the likely 30%+ growth, even accounting for a cash burn not entirely unlike Gordon’s on a number of wistfully remembered nights in Miami. George points to a host of metrics heading in the wrong direction, including sales force efficiency.

(3:41) The return of Keith Gill (“Roaring Kitty”) and Gordon’s “colorful” analogy for...

In Episode 4 (recorded 4/21/2024), we address a topic that is near and dear to Gordon’s heart: the master of yoga pants, Lululemon Athletica ($LULU).  As per our usual format, we give $LULU the bull/bear treatment, with Georgie (he started calling himself that - waiting for him to show up to the Pod with a diaper and bonnet…) tries to bull us up that $LULU can evangelize its magical booty-support/presentation technology to new corners of the globe on its path to becoming the next $NKE, while Brucie makes the case that $LULU a “Le...

In our third episode, we take a walk on the “small cap” side and debate the “bull” vs “bear” side of DigitalOcean ($DOCN), which currently sits squarely in the “IPO Class of 2021” bargain bin. Should DigitalOcean be thrown back (next to Leprechaun 2, which besmirched the legacy of Jennifer Aniston’s Hollywood debut) or seize it furtively like you would “Weird Science” (or perhaps that’s just Gordon’s unhealthy wistfulness for 90’s Kelly LeBrock – Google it, you’ll thank Gordon later.) In our weekly news segment, we discuss whether the IPO “window” is about to open like Gordon’s wallet a...

In our inaugural “Just the Tips” podcast (recorded 2/25/2024), three Wall Street and tech industry veterans (George, Gordon, and Bruce – “stage names” to protect the “innocent”) as they share their candid (and irreverent) takes on tech stocks. Periodically (as often as we can -- we have day jobs!) we will make the bear and bull case for a tech stock. Our first “victim” is Supermicro ($SMCI – “Super Duper Micro!”) 

In this episode, we address:
