AI Bubble Burst? Bitcoin to Zero? Hedge Funds Wrecked? Sounds Like a Bottom is Near In this week's video: On many measures this is one of the largest hedge fund equity deleveraging events in the last 30 years without economic deleveraging. For equities parallels to the 2007 Quant Quake are striking. AI positions built over 18 months are being unwound in 75 days. This is concentration rather than factors. But here's what matters: Corporate profits are still growing ~20% YoY. AI compute demand continues to exceed supply. The S&P 500 has barely moved despite the liquidation. Contagion has spread into credit, multistrats, and European bonds. This is hedge fund deleveraging, NOT economic deleveraging. And I believe based on positioning we're in the final innings. I also cover why AI is accelerating breakthroughs in healthcare, why cybersecurity could drive tokenization, and why the convergence of AI and crypto is just beginning. The world is changing faster than traditional leverage and risk management can handle. The real bubble may have been in the assumption that investors still had time.

AI bubble fears meet rising GPU rental prices: Nvidia H100s now cost $2.85 per hour to rent, up 53% from the Feb 2025 low and the highest since 2024. Older chips were supposed to get cheaper as new ones arrived. This chart tells a different story.
