Last Time Stocks Looked Like This, the Nasdaq Fell 78%

In 1999, everyone was sure the internet would change the world, and they were right. But that didn’t stop the Nasdaq from losing 78% of its value over the next two and a half years, or keep Cisco, briefly the most valuable company on Earth, from falling more than 80%.

Today the story is AI, and the setup looks uncomfortably familiar. A handful of tech giants carry the whole market, everyone owns the same names, and anyone who raises a warning gets told this time is different.

That’s the exact phrase investors heard in 2000.

We just released a free report naming 10 stocks built for what comes next: companies with real cash flow, pricing power and balance sheets that can take a hit if the AI trade cracks. Get it free before 2027 gets here.

🇺🇸 BREAKING: U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal sends letter to Tether, Binance, and two Trump-linked crypto firms demanding records in the ongoing Senate investigations before January 4, 2027.

The incoming chair of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations is examining alleged illicit crypto flows, including the use of Tether’s USDT in Iran’s shadow banking network, and the Trump administration’s dealings with crypto firms.

World Liberty Financial and Fight Fight Fight LLC, the firm behind the $TRUMP memecoin, were asked to start handing over records by November 30.

That inquiry focuses on foreign investments and potential conflicts of interest in Trump-family crypto ventures.

Blumenthal warned the panel would consider “alternative measures” if the firms miss the January deadline.
