What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorReuters Market Talk says the risk of an A-I correction is rising.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorJoining us via satellite is economist Prudence Quillfeather, author of a book on exactly this.
Prudence QuillfeatherThank you, Hank. I predicted this correction, and also the opposite of this correction, so I am legally correct today.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat seems like cheating. Reuters says this could mean a pullback in mega-cap tech like Nvidia, Tesla and Microsoft. What do you see?
Prudence QuillfeatherI see a bubble shaped like a hot tub. Everyone is in it, nobody checked the water, and someone definitely did something in it.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is an upsetting image. Your book says you called the last three turns. Which direction were those?
Prudence QuillfeatherUp, down, and sideways. Chapter nine is called Sideways Is a Direction. It is available in hardcover and, regrettably, audiobook.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo you called everything. Reuters says risk is rising, not that a drop is certain. Can you name one thing you would not predict?
Prudence QuillfeatherHank, I once predicted my own divorce, and my wife. In that order. Neither took the hint.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'll ask again. Is the A-I rally ending, yes or no? Opinions only. We have no data on timing.
Prudence QuillfeatherYes. Or no. Either way, buy my book, which is not advice, but is thirty-four ninety-five, plus a bookmark shaped like a bear.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe cannot tell people to buy anything, including your book. Prudence, how do you personally hedge this risk?
Prudence QuillfeatherI keep my savings in a sock. A very large sock. Frankly, it is a sock fund, and it is outperforming my publisher.
