The AI Mania Is Detached From Reality By Larry Benedict, editor, Trading With Larry Benedict The AI-fueled boom is rivaling some of history’s biggest bubbles. Semiconductor companies have added as much market value in a few weeks as they did in the previous year. The stock market is soaring as a result. But enthusiasm for AI isn’t universal. Confidence among consumers is hitting the lowest level ever seen… driven in part by AI’s disruptive potential. It all adds up to one of the greatest divergences the economy and stock market have ever seen. AI is fueling a boom in one corner of the stock market, while recession signals are triggering at the same time. Here’s the latest evidence that stock market mania is reaching a new extreme as consumer moods align more with an economic bust… Recommended Links Do NOT Buy Shares of SpaceX Before Seeing This The New York Times called the upcoming SpaceX IPO “a generational moneymaking event.” But please DO NOT BUY shares of SpaceX before you click here and see Jeff Brown’s Elon Musk update.

Live Demo of Elon Musk’s 70x AI Agent Jeff Brown has been ahead of the crowd on Elon Musk, every step of the way. After the so-called experts said Tesla was going bankrupt, He doubled down.  And the stock is up 1,510% since. Jeff was one of the first to correctly predict the SpaceX IPO. And he has visited Musk’s facilities across the country. So Jeff is uniquely qualified to give this live demonstration of Musk’s new 70x AI agent. Click here to watch for free. A Parabolic Move in Semiconductors Across my four-decade trading career, I’ve seen my fair share of stock market bubbles and manias. But this is becoming the biggest I’ve ever seen, with much of it concentrated in just one sector… semiconductors. Take Micron Technologies (MU), for example. The stock has gained 90% in the last month. The company added over $500 billion in market value during that span. The amount of market cap added over the past 30 days is nearly six times what the company was worth just a year ago. The chart below plots MU’s price along with its market cap. (Click here to expand image) Tech-sensitive economies are seeing their stock markets soar as well. The Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) is the primary benchmark for South Korea. The KOSPI’s heavyweights include Samsung and SK Hynix… both chip stocks that are now worth more than $1 trillion each. The index is up 101% so far this year. Another sign of the times is the new Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM). The fund tracks a narrow group of AI chipmakers and was just launched in April. The fund’s assets under management hit $10 billion in just 50 days, becoming the fastest ETF to ever reach that milestone. That shows how much investors are clamoring for the market’s hottest stocks. But chasing stocks at these levels could be dangerous to your financial health, especially when you consider the unease spreading across the broader economy.

Consumer Recession Sentiments At a time when investor hype over AI-driven chip stocks has been intensifying, consumer moods are in the dumps. The University of Michigan has released an index of consumer sentiment since the 1950s. In the most recent report covering May, the index dropped to the lowest level ever seen in more than 70 years of data. Here’s the chart below. Source: University of Michigan (Click here to expand image) The reading of 44.8 in May was even below the levels seen during 2008’s Great Financial Crisis. You can see in the chart that low levels of consumer confidence are usually seen during recessions, which are the shaded areas in the chart. That makes sense because poor consumer moods impact spending, which is a major driver of the U.S. economy. So something isn’t adding up when you compare the action in AI-driven stocks with the broader consumer gloom. The war in the Middle East and its impact on energy prices and inflation are certainly playing a major role. But economists also point to fears about the disruptive potential of AI on the labor market. While advances in AI applications and spreading adoption are exciting for investors, Main Street isn’t convinced. Headlines about job losses and layoffs due to AI could be one big reason for the low spirits. A recent survey shared that as many as 99% of executive officers expect AI to lead to headcount reduction in the next two years. And the outlook appears particularly grim for entry-level workers. Something doesn’t add up. And my fear is that the parabolic move in AI stocks will come crashing down… just like every other bubble I’ve seen.

(We Raised $2M to Help You Get There) Otomato Intelligence Jun 1   READ IN APP   Every six months, CT runs the same debate: how much do you need to quit your job? Everyone has a number. Almost nobody has done the math from actual onchain yields. We’re doing it here. Pendle PT, loops, airdrop farming. Real numbers, four levels, zero LARPing. At the end you will get 3 DeFi Strategies to get real Yield with a Bonus Before we start Otomato monitors your on-chain positions 24/7 Everything you need to know in an App Get the App It’s Not the Bag, It’s the Net Yield The size of your bag is a vanity metric. What matters is the net yield it pumps out every year, after vol, smart contract risk, and the tax bill in your jurisdiction. A $1M bag generating 18% net beats a $5M bag sitting in spot ETH you can’t touch without realizing taxes. One pays your rent. The other prints a chart. From here on, every level is defined by what your stack pays you while you sleep, not by what it shows on DeBank. How to Engineer 15-20% Onchain Without Praying Three buckets. No shitcoins, no farms with unlock cliffs, no “trust me” yield. -50% Pendle PT, no loop. Fixed yield on majors (sUSDe, eETH, USR). 10-15% net depending on the cycle. -30% Pendle PT looped. Same instrument, 2-3x leverage. 25-40% yield, real liq risk if the PT discount widens. -20% airdrop farming bucket. Capital that earns nothing on paper but harvests events 2-3 times a year. Hyperliquid, Monad, Berachain, the next ones. Blended target: 17-20% net in a normal year. Doable with discipline. Broken in a week without monitoring. Now the levels. Level 1: $100K Onchain. Not Freedom Yet, but the Map Is Drawn. $100K at 18% = $18K/year. Pays rent in Bali or any low-cost city. Doesn’t pay your life anywhere. You’re still working Monday. What changes at $100K isn’t the lifestyle, it’s the brain. You stop trading dopamine. The Pendle math clicks. The loop math clicks. From here, it’s just stacking.The killer at this level: chasing 60% APY on a fresh chain instead of locking 15-35% on a clean PT. Variance kills compounding. Boring wins. Keep Track of All Your Strategies 24/7 Get The App $400K Is the Real Crypto Nomad Number $400K at 18% = $72K/year passive. That’s a real life in Lisbon, Bali, Mexico City, Dubai, Buenos Aires. Decent apartment, restaurants, gym, business class once a year. Not flexing on Instagram. Just living calmly. This is where most “full-time crypto” people actually are. Not in the Twitter penthouses. In a coworking space in Da Nang with a Pendle tab and a Hyperliquid chart open. The killer at this level: lifestyle creep. $72K passive feels infinite until you decide to “try” NYC for three months. Tier 1 cities incinerate this stack in 18 months. Level 3: $1M. From Stacking Mode to Living Mode. $1M at 18% = $180K/year. After tax, $120-150K depending on residency. First time the buffer is real. You can absorb a bad year (vol, depeg, missed airdrop season) without touching principal. You stop refreshing the dashboard every morning. You live well in Paris, Berlin, Madrid. Not penthouse-level, but rent paid, gym paid, restaurants paid, savings still growing. The shift is psychological. You stop optimizing for the next 10x and start optimizing for not losing what you have. Sleep becomes a KPI. The killer at this level: loading the loops too heavy because “I can afford a drawdown.” You can. Until you can’t. Get the Next One In Your Inbox Pledge your support Level 4: The $3M Pivot. From Yield Maxing to Yield Keeping. $3M at 15% (you derisk here) = $450K/year. NYC, London, Singapore, Dubai. No alarm clock. No stress about flights, restaurants, hotels. The whole game changes. At Level 2 you wanted 30% APY. At Level 4 you want 12% that never breaks. Loops drop from 30% to 10% of the stack. Clean PT becomes the core. Airdrop bucket stays as fun money. You start caring about things that didn’t exist before: tax residency, multi-sig setup, hardware wallet succession, insurance. The killer at this level: the private deal. Friends pitching you SAFEs, OTC tokens, “early allocations.” 30% of net worth into one bad bag sets you back five years. Every Level Has Its Killer. Here’s Yours. Each level dies to a specific mistake: - Level 1: Chasing yield. You ape a 60% farm that goes to zero. Restart from scratch. - Level 2: Lifestyle creep. The stack doesn’t grow, the spending does. De-level back to $200K in two years. - Level 3: Over-looping. A PT discount widens, your 3x loop liquidates near maturity. 40% drawdown. - Level 4: The private deal. One bad SAFE, one OTC allocation. You lose a year. Different game at every level. Same outcome if you don’t see the killer coming. Try Otomato At Level 2, the Bag Stops Being the Problem. Attention Does. A serious yield stack runs 15-30 live positions across 5-8 protocols. Pendle maturities every 90 days. Loop health factors moving with the market. Airdrop deadlines you didn’t write down. Stablecoin pegs you assumed were fine. You can’t tab between dashboards at 2am. The reason most people stall at Level 2 isn’t capital. It’s that they have no system for catching the one thing that would have moved them to Level 3. A loop that liquidated overnight. A PT they forgot to roll. An airdrop they missed by six hours. Capital is solvable. Attention isn’t, unless you build for it. That’s why we built Otomato. One feed. Every position. Every protocol. So you stop juggling 10 tabs and doomscrolling Twitter to know if your stack is still alive The $2M Raise: Buying Back Your Attention We just closed a $2M round to push this further. The next six months unlock three things: -Coverage expansion: more protocols, faster integration. The long tail of yield is where the alpha is, and that’s where we’re going. -Critical night alerts: phone-grade urgency for liquidation-level events. The kind that wake you up before the drawdown does. -Smarter monitoring: signal over noise, calibrated per position. No spam. Only what would have changed your decision. Going from $100K to $3M isn’t a yield problem. It’s an attention problem. We’re building the tool that solves it. If you’re running a real stack, give it a try. If you’re already a user, the next six months will move fast. See The Announcement Defi Strategies You Can Use Now to get +15% 1.
