I mean, I agree that the market left fundamentals behind years ago. But when increasing numbers of transactions are handled by robo-advisors all working on similar parameters and institutional ownership is something like 71% of the DOW, can we expect the same result as in 2000?
Billionaires aren’t going to roll over and go bankrupt - they will manipulate the stock market to make it look like the economy isn’t failing. A crash and government intervention isn’t impossible, but I suspect we are already wallpapering over the mess - note that central banks say “markers of recession” rather than “recession”, because then it can’t possibly be real. They would prefer that the 30% of shares owned by us plebs aren’t panic sold so the problem stays invisible, but if it is, they will buy up the shares at a discount and continue to trade them among themselves with fictional dollars that have been loaned into existence.
But I’m mostly left wondering if enough manipulation is happening already to stop it from failing; billionaires aren’t just going to roll over and watch their wealth evaporate. When the bulk of stocks are owned by institutions and increasing numbers of investing decisions are made by robo-advisors with similar buy/sell thresholds, can we expect the same result as in 2000?
I suspect that we are already living in the manipulation and it just consolidates the wealth upward rather than showing a classic crash.
Which is a useless metric in today’s market, since none of the AI companies have made a single cent yet, in fact they are bleeding billions, but are still receiving billions in investments, most of it from other AI-involved companies.
The companies being talked about are the picks and shovels guys. Sandisk, Crucial, Nvidia, Oracle. The ones that should actually be making money now, and so far have been.
Jesus Christ, it’s not even a long article, you can just read it and know this stuff before you comment.
Duh, aren’t we passed this situation yet? Millions and even billions of workers should’ve been replaced by now. Many problems including coding: solved.
Or are investors really this patient and resilient when it comes to hollow hype?
“If a company isn’t making as much money as quickly as it, and investors, thought it would” that’s the sign, saved you the click.

Exactly what I expected from Business insider…
I’m beginning to think they don’t actually have anyone on the inside at any businesses
Opposite… The call is coming from INSIDE the business!
🤣
But that isn’t how greater foolism works. It doesn’t matter how stupid one is, as long as there are others more stupid.
The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent!
And the question is always when the market switches from irrational to rational, and the answer is “nobody knows.”
It’s when someone figures out they can make a lot more money if these companies fail
The market can remain irrational until the bag can be safely passed onto retail and/or bailouts are secured.
AND, plenty of that going around now a days
Incredible insight
