Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/4fhExhwFrom the Newport Beach studio, David outlines five market concerns and five items he is not worried about. His worries are: extreme S&P 500 concentration (top 10 near 39% and semiconductors rising to ~20% weight), speculative retail behavior (surging ETF inflows, levered ETF growth, and elevated options/0DTE activity), a “right pocket vs left pocket” dynamic where hyperscaler AI spending transfers free cash flow to semiconductor/data-center suppliers, an S&P earnings narrative he sees as circular and priced to perfection with margin risks, and counterparty risk tied to OpenAI—especially the possibility of government “nationalizing” AI. Not worried: imminent AI job destruction (headcount rising at AI adopters), volatility, the politicized inflation narrative, near-term energy price swings, or “software is dead,” arguing AI creates winners and losers requiring due diligence; he closes noting long-term concern over government debt and preference for dividend growth.Links mentioned in this episode:DividendCafe.comTheBahnsenGroup.com
