This Always Happens Before a Stock Market Crash
The stock market just hit another record high, so everything looks perfectly calm. But underneath that calm, something genuinely frightening is building. Right now, just 30 companies — that’s only 6% of the S&P 500 — control more than half of its entire value. Think about that for a second. If just a few of those giants crack, they could drag the whole market into a brutal bear market — even if the other 470 companies don’t fall at all. And this exact setup has happened before in history… and it ended in disaster. And Michael Burry — the guy from The Big Short — just put out a warning that stocks could go 15 to 20 years with little or no real gains. So today, we’re going down the rabbit hole to see just how fragile this market really is.
