Clem Chambers says today’s market may be entering a true speculative bubble, not a normal bull market. He explains why AI, liquidity and copper could drive another major leg higher before the eventual break.

The S&P 500 remains near record highs, but beneath the surface the market has become increasingly concentrated in a small group of mega-cap technology and AI stocks. History shows that extreme concentration can persist for a time, but the crashes of 1973 and 2000 are reminders that when leadership narrows and speculation accelerates, retail investors can be especially vulnerable when sentiment turns.
