On today's stock market crash:
As an investor, on days like today, you have to ask yourself one question: What fundamentally changed over the last 24 hours?
The shift in the fundamental backdrop cannot be attributed solely to the Midterm Election results; markets had already largely priced in the outcome.
So, what changed between yesterday and today? What is the fundamental reason for today's decline?
One of the most likely catalysts is growing concern about a potential "ban" on AI, or at the very least, severe regulation of the industry.
Over the last 24 hours, Democratic lawmakers have publicly called for restrictions on advanced AI development, including an outright "ban on artificial superintelligence."
Frankly, an outright ban will not happen.
Such a ban, if even possible to enforce, would effectively mean the US surrendering its position in the global AI race to China.
Does this mean AI is "over" or today's stock market crash marks "the end?" Absolutely not.
Rather, we believe we are witnessing a sudden shift in sentiment colliding with excessive levels of leverage, potentially triggering forced liquidations by several major institutional investors.
Therefore, today's downturn is more technical than fundamental. This is not to discount the concerns around regulation, they are legitimate. But price action right now does not look orderly or rational.
We are in the midst of the biggest technological revolution in human history.
Zoom out and remain calm.

Mark Madden shreds the Steelers: “From AFC North front-runner in line for a playoff home game to hitting the road for the wild-card round. From “a legit Super Bowl contender that can beat anybody” to embarrassed and manhandled three times in a row by teams that are clearly superior. The defense isn’t elite. Russell Wilson’s Indian summer is over. Quotes from the players stop just shy of finger-pointing. The Steelers are masters of the surrender punt. It’s a classic Steelers collapse on par with 2018, ’19 and ’20. (It’s hard to be worse than 2020: From 11-0 to losing five of their last six, including a home playoff loss to Cleveland.) The citizens are experiencing lots of feelings and emotions. Even “Renegade” fell flat during the home loss to Kansas City on Christmas. Nobody should be surprised. It’s a truth that’s been there all along hiding in plain sight. This is exactly what figured to happen. The Steelers have a flawed roster. The Steelers are poorly coached.” #Steelers #NFL
In Alabama, the man frying chicken at KFC and the woman making beds at Holiday Inn could be a prisoner. The state earns millions leasing inmates to hundreds of companies, deeming them safe enough to work, but routinely denying them parole. https://t.co/m3TLq65lCg

Donald Trump — the twice impeached former president, Jan. 6 coup leader, convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser, and man who mismanaged the 2020 economic implosion and coronavirus disaster that killed more than 1 million people in this country — has convinced American voters to give him another term in the White House.
