10. I think if the AI bubble pops, and the bottom drops out of the market, it'll all hit at once.

That bubble is the plug in the dam, its the ONLY thing holding back the flood right now.
IF AI companies can't get the high-end chips they need cause you need stuff from the gulf to do that, that pop is ALREADY baked-in, it's just a question of who's gonna pull their capital out first and trigger a panic.

It's a game of nerves now, and I think increasingly the market isn't trusting trump to find a long-term solution.

I'm neither an investor OR an economist, that's just my 2 cents.
