YLD ETF News Headlines

CODE RED: AI Meltdown Imminent?
After correctly predicting the 2008 and 2020 stock market meltdowns, I believe this AI company is about to trigger the next crash. The research firm Bernstein Research said this AI company has the power to crash the global economy for a decade, the CEO just issued a CODE RED in an internal memo warning employees they're dealing with a critical situation, and another company executive even implied they might need a government bailout. The last time I saw something like this was in 2008 when I predicted a stock market meltdown just three weeks before Lehman went under.tc pixel
