    Crowded Longs, Failing AI Leadership & the 90% Win-Rate Lie

    The market is sitting near all-time highs—but beneath the surface, some of its former leaders are flashing warning signs. In this episode of Markets Unscripted, Matt Caruso and Jason Shapiro examine why many AI-related stocks have struggled to reclaim their highs despite a powerful rebound in the broader indexes. They break down the changing leadership in names such as NVIDIA, AMD, ARM, Dell, Caterpillar, Nebius, and others—and discuss why traders should never fall in love with yesterday’s winners. Jason also reveals one of the most crowded trades he currently sees, while Matt explains why rising volatility and weakening relative strength have pushed him toward a more cautious posture. Then, the conversation turns to one of the most misleading statistics in trading: win rate. Why can a 70%, 80%, or even 90% win rate be a major red flag? Matt and Jason explain how traders can win repeatedly and still suffer devastating losses—and why risk-to-reward, drawdowns, and the size of your winners matter far more than simply being right. In this episode: • Why former AI leaders are struggling• The warning beneath the market’s record highs• Why lagging stocks are rarely bargains• Jason’s crowded-trade warning on copper• The hidden danger of short selling• Why trading more often can work against you• The truth behind advertised 90% win rates• How professional traders evaluate performance Learn more from Matt Caruso and Caruso Insights:https://www.carusoinsights.com Follow Jason Shapiro and the Crowded Market Report:https://www.crowdedmarketreport.com This content is provided for educational purposes only and should not be considered personalized investment advice.

    BELIEVE IT OR NOT… THE MARKET IS STRENGTHENING

    Markets are rallying hard again — and despite the constant bearish arguments, the tape keeps telling a very different story.In this episode of Markets Unscripted, Matt Caruso and Jason Shapiro break down why the market appears to be broadening beyond the AI trade, with strength showing up in small caps, regional banks, healthcare, industrials, and other areas that many investors are still ignoring.They also dig into the psychology of traders who stay bearish no matter what the data says, why relative strength matters more than opinions, and how the market often reveals the truth long before the explanation becomes obvious.Matt also revisits the 2000 IPO comparison, including how lockup expirations actually played out during the dot-com peak — and why the timing of today’s IPO concerns may be very different from what the bears are arguing.Plus, Jason shares why AI may be a much bigger productivity shift than many people realize, and why the winners and losers from this new era could be massive.Topics covered:Why the bull market may be getting stronger under the surfaceSmall caps and regional banks showing surprising leadershipWhy bearish arguments keep shiftingThe danger of fighting the tapeAI as a productivity superpowerThe 2000 IPO parallel and what people may be missingHow Matt uses a “FOMO indicator” to manage short-term riskWhy relative strength keeps pointing to opportunityThis is not a market to sleep on.

    Is Liquidity the Real Risk to the AI Bull Market?

    Last Friday, the AI trade finally hit a wall.After months of relentless strength, several high-flying AI-related stocks were hit hard, while a popular 3X South Korea ETF tied to the memory and storage trade collapsed more than 40%. Matt Caruso and Jason Shapiro break down why this may not be “the top,” but could be an important warning sign about leverage, liquidity, and crowded positioning.In this episode of Markets Unscripted, Matt and Jason revisit Jesse Livermore’s famous 1906 liquidity warning, when competing capital raises in the railroad sector helped signal trouble before a major market decline. Today, the question is whether massive funding needs from AI infrastructure, Google, Meta, SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI could eventually strain market liquidity.They also discuss why bull markets usually do not end in one day, how deleveraging events can reveal the next leadership group, and why traders should be watching which stocks hold up best during market weakness.The conversation also covers possible next-stage AI beneficiaries beyond chips, including healthcare, software, data infrastructure, and select names showing relative strength.Topics covered:The AI trade’s sharp selloffLiquidity risk vs. valuation riskGoogle and Meta’s massive capital raisesSpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI IPO concernsJesse Livermore’s 1906 warning signalWhy leverage can destroy traders fastHow to spot real leadership during market pullbacksEli Lilly, Snowflake, Twilio, Veeco, and other AI-adjacent setupsBitcoin’s relative weaknessWhy position sizing matters more than most traders thinkThis episode is not about calling a bear market. It is about identifying the warning signs that could matter if liquidity starts to dry up.

    SpaceX IPO: Former NASA Chief Engineer on Elon’s Launch Dominance
