Too long (1:47);   Keep an eye out for private equity as well (8:02);   Bubbles are part of the market and can even be viewed as a good thing. Until they aren't (9:44);   SPACs and cryptos are two examples of financial engineering potentially gone awry (10:56);   Background on the guest (15:07);   Venture capital has historically controlled early-stage investing. But this is changing (18:07);   Financial technology, aka 'fintech' is one area Dr. Ehrlich likes a lot (20:20);   What about driverless cars?
