Buy 2 Enhanced Yield Hedges And Sleep Like A Baby
The current bull rally in equities, driven by massive AI CapEx, feels increasingly late-cycle and vulnerable to a correction. I see parallels between today's AI investment surge and past capital misallocations, such as the fiber-optic boom that failed due to the wildly inaccurate internet demand forecasts.
