This is Saigon, the story of my family and of the country that shaped us.

You've been writing about something much more interesting, and I want to talk about that because regular listeners and readers will remember the challenge set to me by our colleagues in America.

When was it?

Last year, wasn't it?

The end of last year to go out and buy a single share in AI so that I would have it when the great IPOs came.

And it turned out it was impossible to buy a share in OpenAI, which I think I'm heartily grateful, really.

But you have views on those IPOs, John.

Well, it is because it's happened before, hasn't it?

Let's go back.

Have you looked at any of the other big bear markets to see if there's one of those big supply surges before them all?

Well, I haven't, but I think it's worth looking at.

I think we'll offer this to one of our professional listeners for free.

You know, please go out and do the analysis for us and get back to us and let us know, because that would work a lot better for us than having to do it ourselves.

Right, John?

Definitely gives them something to do.

Right.

What else have you been looking at this week?

I mean, just so you know, listeners, John and I are talking on the day of the UK Council elections and Scottish and Welsh elections.

So we can't talk about the things that we really want to talk about today.

You know, we're distracting ourselves with this AI bubble nonsense.
