Short all these stocks of course. SOXS is a 3 times leverage short on semiconductors if you are feeling bold.

    The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent

    Tesla has been clearly overvalued for years. Had you tried to make money off shorting the stock - despite correctly observing this stock has to collapse at some point - you would have lost your shirt.

    Yeah, I wouldn't take trading advice from a group of people who are desperately hoping a for a certain technology to not exist.

    Is AI overhyped and overused? Absolutely. Is its use doing to decrease? Most likely. Will it "collapse"? Don't bet on it. Or, well, do - I suppose. It's your money to lose.

    I wish u were right. I'm really not convinced its use will decrease. Agents are being weeded into ever bloody service on the internet. AI and the internet will be one thing. AI is convinient and human nature does not like complexity. Humans thrive in environments that make life easy. Internet, social media and amazon are what they are today because of convinience. AI bring convinience! I do not believe that AI will go down ... it eill certainly stop growing so quickly but eventually we will find AI in our coffe machine and our toothbrush.

    Oh no, don't get me wrong - it's here to stay. In some fields it will grow bigger, and others it will disappear. We're now just in a phase where it's being applied to everything to see what sticks - and that hype phase will come to an end at some point.

    comments like this inspire me to become financially literate so that i could understand what was said.

    It just means that when they finallystop buying semiconductors to fuel datacenters they aren't even building and the semiconductor stocks crash, SOXS will go up 3x for every dollar the semiconductors go down. Only problem is that no one can guess when that is, even if many are sure it's coming. It feels like soon but don't make financial decisions based on what some idiot says on the internet.

    This is probably not a good opportunity for you then. It's not something a beginner should do. Probably I shouldn't have brought it up at all.

    soxs Is actually traded as a normal stock- they do the shorting for you. But since it's triple leveraged it's very risky. If you get it wrong you lose 3x the money of a normal short. If you want to learn how to short normally (single leverage) you can ask gemini, I've found it to be pretty good with financial training and explaining the ins and outs of specific trading platforms. But know this. With shorting you can go past zero into debt , as a stock can go up more than 100%, so you can lose more than 100% of your money. It's not really where you should start as a beginner. Maybe a better way to bet against AI is just to bet on old fashioned value stocks or ones paying big dividends, as they are mostly quite beaten down now.
