We’re in the late stages of the largest set of financial asset bubbles ever blown in human history. They dwarf the 2000 dot.com bubble, and are several times larger than the Great Financial Crisis (GFC) housing bubble of 2008/09.
This set of bubbles encompasses sovereign debt, unfunded liabilities, housing, and the stock market, which is singularly focused on the shiny lure and promises of AI.
It’s an everything bubble.
If our bubbles were a bagel:
The creaking and popping sounds are getting harder to ignore. Nationally, more than half of all homes are experiencing declining ‘Zestimates.’
Meanwhile, some reality is starting to sneak back into the AI bubble, as evidenced by the September euphoria over Oracle’s decision to enter a $300 billion deal with OpenAI has turned into a big fat negative just a couple of months later.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin is selling off, and the leveraged stock “play” on Bitcoin, Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy (MSTR), is not sneaking out the back door as much as it is running shrieking right out the front door.
When these nested bubbles burst, and they always do, retail investors will be very poorly positioned given their passive investing approach and “all in!” stance.
How to Survive (and Thrive)
You can’t time the bubble’s burstings perfectly, but you can manage risk. Paul Kiker’s approach:
- Develop a sound and comprehensive strategy and stick to it.
- Stay mostly invested, but keep one foot near the exit.
- Define clear sell triggers—price drops, volume spikes, momentum shifts.
- Hold cash not out of fear, but to pounce when others panic.
- Favor beaten-down value stocks when they finally stabilize.
- Talk straight with yourself and your family: protecting capital now matters more than chasing the last 10% of upside.
