    most of the companies gained less than 10%

    But the MAG7 were doing 20-40%, and they’re making up nearly half of the S&P 500’s gross value.

    It’s all a huge scam.

    It’s a huge something. I can’t even tell who is being scammed by whom anymore, though.

    Just like with the big '08 crash, everyone’s eating hamburgers they promised to pay one another back for on Tuesday. We’re all waiting to see whose checks start bouncing first.

      Just like with the big '08 crash

      When AI bubble implodes, it will be 4X the 08 crash and this time there will be no bailouts.

        I’d say the fundamental difference between Housing and AI is that we don’t live in the AI. The fallout will be very different for that reason alone.

        And as to “no bailouts”? Bush let Lehman go bankrupt and it set off a panic that resulted in the US Treasury outright owning half the investment banking sector by the end of the year. There’s always an appetite for bailouts when shit actually impacts the fan.
