🇺🇸 The elephant in the room:

AI stocks are outperforming consumer stocks by 20%+ over the last 60 DAYS.

And, as AI investment exceeds $1 TRILLION per year, car repossessions are at 2009 levels.

There are 2 US economies: Rich vs Poor, and AI is the lifeline of it all.

🇺🇸 The economy is particularly bad for Americans who are seeking entry level jobs.

The US unemployment rate for youth graduates aged 20-24 has averaged 8.1% over the last 3 months, the highest in 4 years.

This is up sharply from under 4% just 2 years ago, when the AI boom began.

🇺🇸 Without AI, the US economy would likely be contracting right now.

AI spending contributed ~1 percentage point to the 1.6% US GDP growth rate recorded in the first half of 2025.

This means ~63% of economic growth came from AI investment.

This is by far the most on record.

🇺🇸 For the first time in history, the Magnificent 7 stocks are now worth over a combined $20 TRILLION.

This means that these 7 stocks alone now account for a record ~35% of the S&P 500.

Not even the Dot-Com bubble in 2000 saw concentration like this.

Tech has taken over.

🇺🇸 While asset owners generate TRILLIONS in market cap, car repos are at 2009 levels.

In 2024, 1.73 million vehicles were seized, up +16% YoY and +43% compared with 2022.

We are literally in an economy where you are either "rich" off of AI or having your car repossessed.

🇺🇸 Lastly, the Fed is cutting rates into stagflation and asset prices are rising sharply across the board.

Our message to our audience remains the same as it has been all year:

Own assets or be left behind.
