Israel's Exposure to the AI Bubble
Find us on:📺 YouTube📸 Instagram💼 LinkedIn𝕏 Michal on X𝕏 Yonatan on X📩 Write to us here📈Our WYNDEX update for today:It was a tough week all around. The NASDAQ and S&P shed some serious AI market cap and while WYNDEX was in the red - though it significantly outperformed both NASDAQ and S&P. In numbers: NASDAQ lost 3.96% and S&P lost 2.23%, while the WYNDEX lost 1.26%. That’s 2.7% better than NASDAQ and 0.97% compared to the S&P.🎯Our Big Shorts for today:India and Israel sign defense MOU: India will reportedly acquire missile systems from Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) for $3.75B, and IAI will convert six commercial planes into Indian Air Force refueling aircraft. A Goldman Sachs report, published after the ceasefire went into effect last month, is (cautiously) optimistic on economic growth in Israel, largely due to an easing of labor market constraints. We dive into the numbers from the report…🔎And our Long Play today is a look at the AI bubble - which is not quite bursting but showing some cracks (some are calling it a “wobble”) - and what Israel’s exposure is if we see a broader/deeper correction take place in both public and private market valuations. 📅 New episodes drop every WednesdayWhat’s Your Number? is hosted from Tel Aviv and Silicon Valley by Yonatan Adiri — Israeli entrepreneur and former advisor to President Shimon Peres — and Michal Lev-Ram, Israeli-born Silicon Valley-based tech journalist and contributing editor at Fortune.

Israel's Post-War Economy
Find us on:📺 YouTube📸 Instagram💼 LinkedIn𝕏 Michal on X𝕏 Yonatan on X📩 Write to us here📈Our WYNDEX update for today:September 29th to October 11th was another period of the WYNDEX in the green, albeit showing just a modest 0.42% growth rate. Meanwhile, both NASDAQ and the S&P were down in the same period. The WYNDEX’s biggest mover was Compugen, a 20-year publicly traded drug company, which was up 25% due to positive results in clinical trials for ovarian cancer drugs. However, Israeli digitals, particularly on the consumer side, have suffered these past couple of weeks. 🔎And our Long Play today is a conversation between Yonatan and Michal about how the end of the Gaza war could shape Israel’s economy. We’ve discussed in previous episodes how Israel’s war against Hamas has hit parts of the economy – and spared others – especially considering the hundreds of thousands of reservists who’ve been forced to leave their civilian lives multiple times to fight on the frontlines. Today, we ask how the resumption of “normal life” will alter the economy we’ve experienced over the past two years. Also, will the Gaza deal bring more regional states toward the Abraham Accords?📅 New episodes drop every WednesdayWhat’s Your Number? is hosted from Tel Aviv and Silicon Valley by Yonatan Adiri — Israeli entrepreneur and former advisor to President Shimon Peres — and Michal Lev-Ram, Israeli-born Silicon Valley-based tech journalist and contributing editor at Fortune.
