The AI concentration in markets just hit its second-highest level in recorded history. Only the railroad mania of the 1880s was more extreme.
Think about that for a second. We're talking about a concentration level that rivals an era when people thought trains would literally change everything overnight.
This doesn't mean AI isn't transformative. It absolutely is. But when capital floods into one theme this aggressively, history suggests two things happen:
1. Valuations detach from fundamentals
2. The eventual unwind gets messy
The railroads did change the world. But the companies that dominated in 1880 mostly didn't survive to see it. Same story with dot-com in 2000.
Right now, a handful of mega-cap tech names are carrying the entire market. If you're overweight AI stocks, just know you're riding one of the most concentrated bets in financial history. Position accordingly.
