Host tamir looks at the data behind “AI bubble” talk: seven tech stocks are 36% of the S&P 500, AI drives ~75% of its returns since ChatGPT, and the CAPE ratio (~41) was higher only in the dot-com era. Big tech is spending heavily, partly with debt, out of fear of becoming the next Nokia, so a burst is possible. But bubbles accompany every productivity leap (railways, cars, email, the internet), and 1999 was still a great time to start investing. Market timing fails even with good arguments: a November 2024 “the market is too expensive” post cost followers ~11–30%. His answer: stay diversified across sectors, prefer stocks over 5.6% bonds for inflation protection and tech exposure, and welcome a crash as a buying chance.
