Show Notes

On this episode of Live From The Compound, we break down the shift in global market leadership as international stocks outperform the U.S. While many investors credit valuations and a weaker dollar, Matthew Tuttle argues something bigger is happening: Europe is rebuilding not just its military, but its digital infrastructure to reduce dependence on U.S. tech platforms.


Matt, CEO and CIO of Tuttle Capital Management, joins Downtown Josh Brown to discuss digital sovereignty, shifting procurement, and whether this marks a cyclical rotation or the start of a structural reallocation away from U.S mega-cap dominance. We cover the impact on defense, cloud, U.S. tech giants, China exposure, currency effects, and how investors should size the opportunity.
