Even if you know a certain market is a bubble, it’s not exactly trivial to exploit if you don’t know when it’s going to burst, which prices will be affected, and to what degree. “The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent” and all that.
Personally, while I think that investment will decrease and companies will die off, I doubt there’s a true AI bubble, because there are so many articles about it being in a bubble that it couldn’t possibly be a big surprise for the markets if it popped, and therefore the hypothetical pop is already priced out of existence. I think it’s possible that some traders are waiting to pull the trigger on selling their shares once the market starts trending downwards, which would cause an abrupt drop and extra panic selling… but then it would correct itself pretty quickly if the prices weren’t actually inflated before the dip. (I’m not a financial expert so don’t take this that seriously)

Yes, all of this. I didn’t know how to time this, and also good point that operationalising it in terms of AI stocks to target at what strike price could be tricky too.
If I could get the timing right, this makes sense. But I don’t have much of an edge in judging when the bubble would burst. And put options are expensive.
If someone here wants to make a 1:1 bet over the next three years, I’m happy to take them up on the offer.
How many put options have you bought? You can make a killing if you are right.
Bet or Update.
