And so when I see capital flooding into a space, my first thought is, okay, there’s going to be overbuilding, and we’re going…
A prominent venture capitalist is questioning whether restrictions on high-end Nvidia (NVDA) chips are doing more harm than good for the US tech industry.

And certainly I would…
A macroeconomist believes that the AI-led Nasdaq (NDQ) and Bitcoin rallies are a bubble that’s about to burst, despite calls for an early-cycle bull market. Henrik Zeberg says on X that the Nasdaq is in the midst of a blow-off top, echoing steep market surges witnessed in the late 1990s and early 2000s during the Dot-com bubble.
