Ep 10: AI Shopping, Interest Rates, and the Changing Business Landscape

What happens when AI starts shopping for consumers? And are higher interest rates becoming something businesses and investors need to plan around for years to come?

This week on Fundamentals Unfiltered, Matt and Louie discuss how AI shopping agents could change the way businesses reach customers and why adapting to new technology may become an increasingly important part of running a business.

Then, the conversation turns to interest rates, housing, and investing. They explore how mortgage rates affect homebuilders, the challenges facing homebuyers, and how younger investors might think about buying a home versus investing in stocks.

Topics discussed:

  • AI shopping agents and the future of business marketing
  • Technology, competition, and adapting to change
  • Interest rates and their impact on the housing market
  • Homebuilders, mortgage incentives, and affordability
  • Homeownership, stock investing, and long-term financial decisions
