The US stock market is in the biggest bubble in history. The entire economy is at risk. https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/a0c90174-12a2-454d-baa2-646ee9e4eae5 The US stock market is in "the mother of all bubbles", with the market capitalization of publicly traded companies at 206% of GDP. This is higher than the dot-com bubble of 2000, and even the peak of the crash of 1929. Meanwhile, just 25 companies make up over half of the weight of the S&P 500, and the Magnificent 7 Big Tech monopolies are 35% of the market cap of the index.
