'Tech Bubble' Warnings Cost Investors A 550% Nasdaq-100 Run

Author argues that prior episodes of normal market resets were often mischaracterized as bubbles and that the current AI cycle does not share key bubble characteristics (e.g., pervasive speculative excess and unsupportable valuations). The piece emphasizes that structural demand and adoption fundamentals underpin today’s AI cycle, reducing the likelihood of a classic tech bubble. Portfolio implication: favor fundamentals-driven exposure to AI-related names rather than trading on sentiment-driven narratives.
