I work in tech and AI so I saw the problems with the sector quite a while ago. I've ridden it up by I'm a bit scared now so I've rotated.
The thing is, if there's a drawdown in tech, everything collapses because it's tech holding everything up. I think will power everything on an on until then NGS get noisy about lack of return for companies using AI tech. I think the drop will be sentiment based initially.
A collapse in tech would cause a cascade because countries are too saddled with debt (US, UK, France, Italy, Japan). They won't be able to print because it would cause inflation. Inflation kills everything so another kicker for the stock market.
Then you have the problem that inflation and printing will cause a flight out of bonds because it increases their debt which is already unsustainable. A flight out of bonds would cause a sovereign debt crisis in any or all of those countries, eventually happening to the US and collapse the hegemony.
I genuinely think Trump and Bessant know this and are actively trying to cause it to happen so that they can cause a monetary reset but backing stablecoins (notice how Trump's family have positioned themselves) with US commodities, short term bonds, land and gold. I think they'd also take the opportunity to reprice gold.
Trump could then use this new highly backed stablecoin as a convertible bargaining chip, converting allies dollars and leaving enemies weaker by letting their dollar reserves inflate away along with their debt, thereby solving the debt entirely and keeping them the most powerful country.
Perhaps in the end there will be the remimbi, euro and stablecoin dollar.
The flight out of the dollar into gold means this is already in play. It's not a bubble, it's a strategic movement out of fiat, which makes perfect sense because we all know governments can't stay in power AND aggressively cut spending and raise taxes for years to solve it. It's a one way train.
So, I'm positioning with dry powder to short on the way down and buy at the bottom. But I'll be buying hard assets because when we hit the bottom and inflation picks up and job losses mount, the reset will be triggered and I wouldn't want to be in dollar denominated assets because they could get hyperinflated away.
Sounds dramatic but I think we're in a 2001 like bubble with 1929 undercurrent
