Episode notes
Concentration Masks Market Fragility
- The S&P 500 is expensive due to concentration in a few mega-cap tech winners and reduced free cash flow from heavy AI capex.
- Chance Finucane warns this divergence makes the index vulnerable if investor skepticism about AI returns grows.
Lock Gains And Keep Dry Powder
- Trim or sell big winners that ran ahead of fundamentals to lock gains and manage future volatility.
- Use proceeds to be ready to deploy into opportunities when a 15–30% market pullback occurs.
Price To Free Cashflow Has Stretched
- The S&P historically trades around 20x free cash flow but now trades near 30x because mega-caps' FCF fell.
- Finucane says either prices must fall or companies must rein in capex to restore sane valuations.
