Ray Dalio warns that AI equity valuations are echoing the 1929 and 2000 bubbles, pointing to a CAPE ratio of 41 and the risks of forced selling and dilution. While he advocates for caution regarding leveraged infrastructure players, the market sees a split narrative as major players like Berkshire Hathaway continue to accumulate positions in cash-rich AI leaders like Alphabet.

  • New commentary from GN stocks/sp500 highlights that while Dalio views the current CAPE ratio of 41 as mirroring the 2000 peak, the real danger for retail investors lies in secondary stock issuances and dilution rather than a single catastrophic crash. The piece also notes a key divergence: while Dalio warns of bubble dynamics, Berkshire Hathaway is actively buying Alphabet, citing its strong free cash flow as a buffer against AI capex risks that leverage-heavy peers cannot afford.
