Is 2026 a "Tipping Point" for the AI Revolution? VIEW IN BROWSER
Nothing seduces investors quite like a New Era. In the Roaring ‘20s, it was the dizzying cocktail of electrification, automobiles, radios, aviation and mass production. Productivity soared. Stocks soared with it. Leading economists of the day argued that technology and modern management had tamed recessions. Investors believed a permanent boom had arrived. Then the 1929 Crash hit… and they were plunged into the worst bear market in history. In the 1960s, another New Era dawned – this time with the rise of computing, electronics and aerospace. Brokers told their clients that the Nifty Fifty – a group of 50 fast-growing blue chips – were so great you could buy them at any price. Believing we’d entered a long, unstoppable technological renaissance, they called them “one-decision stocks.” By the mid-1970s, many of the Nifty Fifty stocks had fallen 60% to 80%. Then in the late 1990s, New Era thinking returned again. This time, it was inspired by the rollout of the commercial internet. It was the fastest boom of the century. Brokers told their clients that traditional valuation metrics no longer applied in the new digital economy. And dot-com stocks with no profits became billion-dollar tickers overnight. In March 2000, stocks peaked, the bubble burst, and the tech-filled Nasdaq dropped almost 80% over the next two years. Different decades. Different technologies. Different New Eras. But each ended the same way: with a “tipping point” nobody saw coming until it was too late. Today, we find ourselves in another New Era – this time driven by eye-widening advances in artificial intelligence (AI). Once again, stocks are minting millionaires. And millions of investors believe they’re living through an unstoppable boom driven by a world-changing technology. I’m NOT telling you this because I believe stocks are going to crash tomorrow. But despite the dizzying gains from AI stocks like Nvidia and Palantir, you need to understand that New Eras don’t last forever. Eventually, each one reaches a tipping point, and stocks thump back to Earth without much warning. It’s why my team and I built a new way to safeguard your wealth. It’s an innovation in investment tech that could save you a world of pain – and tens of thousands of dollars in potential losses – when we reach the next tipping point. And as you’ll see today, the tipping point for the AI boom could come as soon as next year. First, it’s important you understand why market moves are speeding up and why you need a new kind of indicator to warn you ahead of these moves. Bigger, Faster, More Online Outside of the 2008 financial crisis, the 10 biggest daily percentage moves in the S&P 500 over the past 30 years have all occurred since 2020. Partly, that’s due to shrinking holding times. In the late 1950s, investors typically held stocks for about eight years. By 2020, the average holding time was 5.5 months. And there are now more retail investors in the market than ever before. Before the COVID lockdowns, retail trading made up about 10% of U.S. stock trading volume. That doubled to about 20% in 2020… and reached as high as 26% in the 2021 pandemic boom. These are not pension fund managers weighing valuations, balance sheet growth, and long-term industry trends. Most of these folks are rookies reacting to social media posts. They also move in packs based on instructions from “gurus” in online message boards where millions of anonymous users swap stock ideas, brag about wins, and egg each other on to make riskier trades. Struggling movie theater chain AMC didn’t soar 3,000% in 2021 and then crash because its business changed. Like GameStop before it, it became a meme stock. Millions of highly-online investors piled into its shares to “stick it to the man.” When tens of millions of these folks have access to zero-commission, gamified trading, the market doesn’t only get bigger. It gets faster. And it’s not just human traders who are responsible for these lightning-fast moves. It’s also the algorithms. | Recommended Link | | | | In the past 90 days, the U.S. government shocked Wall Street by taking equity stakes in three small American companies. These small stocks skyrocketed 111%... 194%... and 211% in a single day. Luke Lango’s firm identified all three BEFORE the announcements. Now he’s sharing his urgent new analysis on the fourth big “White House Windfall” for the first time. Get the full details here. |  | | Machines Now Do Most of the Trading The New York Stock Exchange now processes about 1.2 trillion buy and sell orders a day – triple what we saw as recently as 2020. And computers account for up to 80% of that trading volume. High-frequency firms now fire off orders measured in millionths of a second. A human can’t even blink that fast. And according to some estimates, more than half of these algorithmic traders are enhanced with AI. This creates a new kind of problem. Many of these systems are trained on the same data, learn the same patterns, and react at the same millisecond speeds. So they often make the same decision at the same moment — especially when they sense danger. Think of the market like a packed stadium with only a few doors. If everyone stands up at once to leave, the exits clog and people get crushed. That’s what happens when AI trading systems all pull their buy orders at the same time. Liquidity vanishes. Prices don’t fall in steps – they drop straight through the floor. We’ve already seen early versions of this. In the 2010 Flash Crash, a single automated sell order snowballed into a chain reaction that erased almost $1 trillion in market value. In 2015, an opening-bell volatility burst caused more than 1,000 stocks and ETFs to halt within the hour. And in 2020, the NYSE’s “circuit breakers” tripped on March 9, 12, 16, and 18 – each time triggered by a sudden 7% plunge in the first minutes of trading. The S&P 500 usually moves about 0.7% to 0.8% a day. Those drops were nearly 10 times larger… and they were happening in minutes. That’s an order-of-magnitude jump in volatility. And the next downturn could hit faster, harder, and with even less warning. If you’re relying on traditional indicators to alert you, you won’t keep up. You’ll wake up one morning and find a large hole in your brokerage account. That’s why my team and I have created a new kind of sell signal with volatility, tipping points, and bear markets in mind. It’s designed to help you avoid the whiplash-style selloffs that are now routine. Introducing Our Early-Warning System Just like the AI-powered algorithms that have overtaken Wall Street… our early-warning system is more reactive than anything we’ve built before. It’s sensitive to even the slightest bearish tremor in a stock. You can set it up to monitor every stock you follow. If one begins to experience abnormal short-term volatility—an early sign of a steeper drop – our system will automatically alert you. In our backtests, you would have been able to get out of: - Freshpet (FRPT) before a 74% crash
- Lifetime Brands (LCUT) before a 77% crash
- Bloomin’ Brands (BLMN) before a 72% crash
- Funko (FNKO) before an 86% crash
- Rocky Brands (RCKY) before a 75% crash
- American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) before a 69% crash
- The Buckle (BKE) before a 21% crash
- Levi Strauss & Co. (LEVI) before a 49% crash
- Shoe Carnival (SCVL) before a 42% crash
- The Gap (GAP) before a 72% crash
- QVC Group (QVCGA) before a 99% crash
I’ll be going into more details on how it works… and why it’s critical to have on your side as we head into 2026… during our upcoming launch event. And I hope you’ll clear time in your schedule to join me. I’ll be there alongside Marc Chaikin – a Wall Street legend known for sharing a series of stunningly accurate market forecasts with his more than 800,000 followers around the world. - In early 2022, Marc sounded the alarm on the post-COVID bull run, just 90 days before stocks plunged into a bear market.
- In early 2023, he said stocks were about to kick off an extraordinary recovery and shoot up 20% or more. That year alone the S&P 500 gained 26%.
- And earlier this year, he warned of a violent market shift just before the S&P 500 plunged 19% following the Liberation Day tariffs.
Nobody has called the twists and turns of this market quite like Marc has. He’s worked on Wall Street for 50 years, survived 10 bear markets, built three new indexes for the Nasdaq, and created his own quantitative indicator still used on Wall Street. That’s why I hope you’ll pay serious attention to his newest prediction. Based on decades of market data, Marc is predicting a bear market in 2026, with an average market loss of 20%. And that’s just the average loss. Marc says many popular stocks could fall a lot further. For the first time since I’ve been TradeSmith’s CEO, I’m not recommending you use our long-term trailing stops to protect you. They’re a powerful tool – we didn’t engineer them for the kind of fast, reactive environment Marc expects in 2026. Instead, my team and I created a new kind of sell alert – built specifically for volatility shocks, fast trend breaks, and tipping-point conditions Marc sees ahead. If his newest prediction is as accurate as his past calls, stocks will likely bottom in the fall of 2026 after a sharp drop. And one of the most lucrative recoveries in history will begin. Most investors will miss out. But by following our new sell-alert signals, you can pinpoint when to get back into any stock in the market. I’ll show you how it all works during our Tipping Point 2026 event, which airs next Tuesday, December 16, at 10 a.m. Eastern Time. And Marc will get into more detail on why he’s calling 2026 the Year of the Bear – including the four-year cycle that’s played out over more than a century. And of course, we’ll demonstrate how you can use our newest investment tech to protect yourself from any surprises. Use this link to sign up for free. I hope to see you there! Sincerely, | .png)
