    Im so tempted to short one of these companies, but with my luck it’d be the one that Trump decides to save for a buddy, and I end up poorer anyway.

      Shorting the market requires precise timing. Being early is just as bad as being wrong.

      “The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent”.

      I wish we could all short it and end out on top but the market is so manipulated we’d need to be insiders to time it properly. Good luck if you still do it, but be careful put there

        This is like being tempted to do heroin, for me. I tried it out of curiosity, it turned out bad, and I’ll never do it again.

      I think it was Warren Buffett who said “the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent” or words to that effect.

    This is so important. I’m like the dude in the college though. “What can we do about it?” Knowing the AI bubble will collapse doesn’t help you to navigate it.
