AI Mania: Are We Heading for a Market Blow-Up?

The warnings are flashing red: leverage has exploded in the stock market, and the AI investment frenzy may be 17 times larger than the dot-com boom. This could be one of the most dangerous set-ups in financial history. In this episode of The Secret War on Cash, hosts Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos break down two critical developments shaking the global economy:
📉 Market Leverage Blows Out — Margin debt and borrowed capital in stocks have surged to record highs, creating amplified upside on the way up — and a potent risk on the way down. Wolf Street
🧠 AI Bubble Explodes — Analysts warn that the current AI craze is an order of magnitude bigger than past tech bubbles, making the risk of a massive correction very real. MarketWatch+1 Dean and Chris explain why this double-threat — extreme leverage plus speculative mania — should trigger concern for anyone holding stocks, crypto, or leveraged funds. They also lay out how you can protect your savings and prepare for what could come next.
