Former BlackRock fund manager Ed Dowd on the AI bubble: "This is all fugazi. It's going to burst"
"It's all happening. And credit is effectively frozen. Private credit and private equity are on life support"
"I've been here before. The only thing that's working in the stock market is AI. And if you strip out AI, stocks have gone nowhere since the rally that came out of the ceasefire"
"Housing's rolling over. Housing starts [have] plummeted"
"[Yet] the AI bubble is the only thing that's making people feel super complacent... It's now 45% of the S&P 500 market cap"
"Semiconductors are 19% of the S&P 500... and they're 30% of the NASDAQ"
"I know that people think that if the stock market's doing fine, everything's fine. It's not fine. We all know that"
"Trump's poll numbers are in the tank. The average consumer is continuing to experience credit stress on their credit cards, their auto loans, and housing, and mortgage stress is starting to rise"

When the guys who run the show are asking the same question, it starts to become obvious if for no other reason than no other source can account for it
They may be able to artificially keep the markets up through Trumps term, (debt crisis probably won’t hit until he’s gone and he knows it) but I don’t see how the housing bubble lasts that long
