AI summary
What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
Veteran investor Jeremy Grantham argues the AI-driven rally has pushed U.S. stocks to a record-high valuation relative to GDP, around 235% per Longtermtrends data. He warned that the market could peak and head lower, citing the dot-com-era crash as a possible analog. SpaceX’s reported $2 trillion valuation is used to illustrate froth, while the broader implication for P-SPACs is tighter funding and discounting of lofty deal values.
