Michael Burry cautions that investors can’t time an AI bubble and that a top, if it comes, may only be clear a year or two after the fact. He argues today’s surge is fueled by supply-side exuberance in data centers and GPUs, advising most investors against shorting or buying puts. The takeaway: momentum can run long in overvalued names, so risk discipline matters more than calling the peak.

Taiwan’s market continues to ride AI demand, with TSMC positioned to benefit regardless of chip platform and valuations still below the Nasdaq and Nikkei.

How is Everest Group’s stock performance compared to other insurance stocks?
Read the full story | By Aditya Sarawgi — December 12, 2024
Everest Group has lagged peers, hit by a weak Q3 marked by higher combined ratios and softer premium growth, driving shares below key moving averages. Despite underperformance versus the broader insurance ETF, analysts maintain a Moderate Buy with upside to price targets. For insurance investors, the setup underscores the importance of underwriting discipline and earnings momentum into 2026.
Across today’s lineup, markets are balancing optimism with prudence: AI remains a powerful tailwind from Taiwan’s fabs to Wall Street’s tokenization push, while India’s cyclicals and metals hint at renewed leadership into 2026. Yet, Burry’s caution on bubbles and Everest’s stumble remind us that positioning and risk management matter as much as the trend itself. Stay selective, watch the key levels, and let the data—not the hype—set the pace.
