Shana Sissel, chief investment officer of Spotlight Asset Group, joins the podcast to discuss her bullish outlook on technology stocks and other views on the markets. Just because tech stocks might not be overbought (yet) doesn't mean there aren't sections of the markets that are frothy. Take SPACs for example. That is sure to end badly. Sissel also has some views on working from home, why there aren't more women in professional investing, GameStop, and which cities in the U.S. have the best pizza, among other things.
