Everyone's worried about AI being the next bubble. Fair enough — massive capex, companies gorging on debt, extreme concentration in a handful of names, rampant speculation. And yeah, these are literally the biggest companies ever built, all going all-in at once.
But here's the thing: when the risk is this obvious, when it's front-page news and everyone's talking about it, markets have a funny way of pricing it in. The real danger is usually what nobody's watching.
Anyone claiming they know exactly how this plays out — whether it's a catastrophic crash or the next industrial revolution — is full of it. We don't know. History doesn't repeat perfectly. What we do know: concentration is dangerous, leverage amplifies mistakes, and hype creates opportunity for both wealth and ruin.
Stay diversified. Don't bet the farm on narratives. And if you're building a portfolio assuming AI saves the world or destroys it, you're speculating, not investing.
