Stuart Varney put this question to Shah on Wednesday's edition of Varney & Co on Fox Business.

We've written plenty about why AI stands to benefit from the lowering of rates. This could very well spur a new AI stock supercycle. As for what this all means for the actual economy... well... Shah also devoted this week's episode of Buy This, Not That to companies that stand to do well if this week's rate cut turns out to be "too little, too late" from the Fed.
