longshot prediction: the AI bubble gets popped this month by the SpaceX IPO, so get out NOW [View all]

When SpaceX asks for $1.75 trillion and doesn't get it, that might be the moment that the AI stock market bubble stops inflating and starts tipping into a crash. I'm leaving this here just on the off chance that I get to say "called it" later.

But seriously, it's time get out of the stock market. Especially index funds and anything large-cap. My hunch is that this danger has gone from looming to urgent. Start the process of getting out TODAY, if you haven't acted yet.
