The warnings are flashing red: leverage has exploded in the stock market, and the AI investment frenzy may be 17 times larger than the dot-com boom. This could be one of the most dangerous set-ups in financial history. In this episode of The Secret War on Cash, hosts Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos break down two critical developments shaking the global economy:
📉 Market Leverage Blows Out — Margin debt and borrowed capital in stocks have surged to record highs, creating amplified upside on the way up — and a potent risk on the way down. Wolf Street
🧠 AI Bubble Explodes — Analysts warn that the current AI craze is an order of magnitude bigger than past tech bubbles, making the risk of a massive correction very real. MarketWatch+1 Dean and Chris explain why this double-threat — extreme leverage plus speculative mania — should trigger concern for anyone holding stocks, crypto, or leveraged funds. They also lay out how you can protect your savings and prepare for what could come next. Brought to you by Swiss America — helping Americans protect their wealth with gold, silver, and tangible assets.
