A new economic bubble could be forming, and this time, it isn’t real estate. A $20 trillion ticking time bomb could explode if one thing doesn’t go completely right…the AI industry. And the effects could be felt far beyond the stock market, with real estate taking a hit as well.

The question is: Is the AI bubble close to popping, or are we on the precipice of a new era of economic growth?

Dave researched so you don’t have to, compiling the bullish and bearish arguments for AI. Top tech companies are spending over $500 billion in 2026 alone to make the AI dream come true, but strong counterarguments just might prove that those AI investments won’t pay off.

If the AI bubble bursts within the next few years, what will it do to the stock market? How will it affect home prices? And what is Dave doing right now with his money to protect against the downsides and position himself for the upsides if the AI bubble does finally burst? This is what could happen next.
