Bull or Bear Market now?
Your portfolio thinks it’s diversified.
Your risk budget knows better.
Semiconductors are only ~13% of the global stock market by weight…
…but they’re eating ~20% of the entire risk capital.
Tech overall? 28% of the index, 40% of the risk.
That’s not diversification. That’s a high-beta AI casino wearing a passive-index costume.
Low vol made everyone lever up.
VaR models said “more size, king.”
Now any shock → first thing sold = the chips.
Vol rises → more selling → more vol. Snowball goes brrr.
Fundamentals can be fine. Positioning doesn’t care.
When 1/5 of global risk lives in semis, every wiggle becomes a forced-liquidation party.
Welcome to 2026: the market is a semiconductor ETF with extra steps.
Manage the risk, or the risk manages you. Do not over leverage.
