Goldman Sachs says shorting the AI‑driven market means betting against nearly every major force powering US equities right now. In a new CNBC interview, Tony Pasquariello, head of hedge fund client coverage at Goldman Sachs, says that despite concentration concerns in mega‑cap tech, the biggest winners have earned their leadership. He says the AI boom is both earnings‑driven and reinforced by structural tailwinds that make it difficult for bears to win. “There’s no doubt the market’s top-heavy. There’s no doubt it’s concentrated. We know this. Ten companies priced 25% of global equity market cap. And it’s been narrow… You look…

Banking giant UBS dismisses AI bubble fears, noting that current capital spending levels are nowhere close to historical innovation booms. In a new CNBC interview, UBS managing director Alli McCartney pushes back against mounting bubble-watch commentary, saying long-term infrastructure waves have historically required sustained spending far above today’s levels. She points to past industrial revolutions as the correct benchmark for judging AI CapEx, not short-term stock volatility or near-term investor anxiety. “If we look back at everything from the steam engine to telecom to electrification of the grid for an extended period of time, so over years, not over months,…
The CIOs of Bridgewater Associates say investors are ignoring mounting market risks and pricing in a near-perfect future powered by artificial intelligence, even as economic pressure builds beneath the surface. In a new investor note, co-chief investment officers Bob Prince, Greg Jensen and Karen Karniol-Tambour warn that market optimism has reached historically rare territory not seen in nearly a century, reports Reuters. According to the CIOs of the firm founded by billionaire Ray Dalio, the stock market rallies do not resemble a typical bullish phase but a moment when investors have priced in uninterrupted strength across the entire economy. “US…
OpenAI has secured a massive supply line to fuel its next phase of artificial intelligence development, striking a multi-year, multi-billion-dollar infrastructure deal that deepens its ties to Amazon. In a new statement, Amazon Web Services (AWS) says it has signed a seven-year, $38 billion agreement with ChatGPT creator OpenAI. Under the deal, AWS will give OpenAI access to hundreds of thousands of Nvidia chips and can ramp to tens of millions of CPUs. The capacity is designed to serve training, inference and emerging agent frameworks, reflecting the sweeping buildout underpinning the AI arms race. The agreement commits both sides to…
AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks warns that the future of AI may look less like The Terminator and more like 1984. In a new interview on the a16z podcast, Sacks says large-scale AI systems could become vehicles of censorship, distortion and political manipulation if steered by the wrong hands. Sacks notes that mainstream fears about killer robots miss the more immediate threat: information control through algorithmic distortion and surveillance. “I almost feel like the term woke AI is insufficient to explain what’s going on, because it somehow trivializes it. I mean, what we’re really talking about is Orwellian AI.…
One of Wall Street’s most vocal tech bulls says the outcome of an incoming shareholder vote on Elon Musk’s controversial pay package won’t be close. In a new note to clients, Wedbush’s Dan Ives says Tesla is entering its most consequential phase since launch, with the company asking investors to approve a long‑term performance plan for CEO Elon Musk that could see the AI tycoon become $1 trillion richer. The proposal arrives as Tesla races toward full autonomy, mass robotaxi deployment, and humanoid robotics, milestones Ives says are central to the company’s next chapter. “This Thursday, Tesla will be hosting…
BlackRock, America’s largest asset manager, says artificial intelligence has shifted from a technology theme to the primary force powering US business investment. In a new post on X, BlackRock CIO Rick Rieder unveils new data showing AI-driven spending contributing the majority of business investment to GDP over the past two years. The chart tracks a break in trend beginning in 2023, with AI-related investment climbing while traditional non-AI investment oscillates around zero or negative contribution. Rieder sees the phenomenon as a regime shift, with AI acting as a structural growth pillar rather than a cyclical technology wave. The data highlights…
Investor Michael Burry, who famously called the 2008 housing collapse, has placed a multibillion-dollar wager targeting names at the center of the market’s artificial intelligence mania. The latest 13F filing from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shows that Burry’s Scion Asset Management is shorting Nvidia (NVDA) and Palantir (PLTR) by placing put positions to the tune of nearly $1.1 billion. According to the disclosure, Scion held puts representing more than five million shares of Palantir worth $912.1 million and one million shares of Nvidia worth $186.58 million in Q3 of 2025. The combined value of the bearish positions…
Artificial intelligence has moved beyond answering questions and generating clever text. Today, a new wave of AI technology is quietly emerging, one that doesn’t just talk or suggest but acts. Some believe this shift will unlock a world where daily tasks melt away and businesses run smoothly, as people gain back time to think, create and live. Others worry it marks the beginning of work automation at scale, where machines don’t just assist humans, but perform entire workflows without them. Like every major technological leap, the truth isn’t in extremes. It’s in understanding. And the sooner you do, the more…
A wave of AI-linked borrowing is rippling through credit markets, as US tech giants tap debt markets to finance massive data-center expansion tied to the AI race. US companies have issued more than $200 billion in bonds this year to fund AI infrastructure, with deals from Meta, Alphabet and Oracle dominating the flow, reports The Financial Times. Analysts say the financing boom marks a new phase of the AI cycle — one where debt, not cash reserves, fuels hyperscale buildouts. They warn that the surge could reshape credit markets and stress other sectors as liquidity is being sucked into one…
