Event Announcement: TradeSmith will host the “Tipping Point 2026” event on December 16 at 10 a.m. Eastern Time, aimed at preparing investors for potential market fluctuations, particularly those driven by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). CEO Keith Kaplan will discuss the historical context of market “Mega Melt-Ups” and how the current AI surge parallels past market bubbles.
Market Trends: Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, Nvidia’s stock has increased over tenfold, contributing to the Nasdaq 100 index more than doubling. This reflects a broader trend where easy market access and abundant credit are fueling stock market growth, reminiscent of the 1920s radio boom and the late 1990s dot-com era.
Historical Context: Historically, markets have seen steep declines following these rapid climbs, as evidenced by RCA’s 95% plunge post-1929 boom and a 60% drop in the Nasdaq after its peak in March 2000. With predictions of a possible bear market in 2026, TradeSmith emphasizes the importance of preparing investors to capture upside while protecting against inevitable downturns.
