ITPM Flash Ep113 Standing on the Edge

InstituteofTrading Podcast 1 months ago

Description

ITPM Flash provides insight into what professional traders are thinking about in the markets RIGHT NOW!

Markets are pushing higher despite valuation metrics flashing warning signs across the board.

In this week’s ITPM Flash, Edward Shek breaks down the extraordinary concentration driving the current rally — from hyperscaler CapEx spending to explosive AI-driven earnings growth. With the S&P 500 trading at historically extreme valuations, the big question is whether we are witnessing another bubble… or the early stages of a once-in-a-generation infrastructure boom.

Ed explores the unprecedented scale of AI data centre investment, why traditional valuation metrics may be understating the impact of the current CapEx cycle, and how hyperscaler spending is reshaping the entire market. He also explains why professional investors continue piling into the trade despite rising bond yields, weak consumer sentiment, and increasingly narrow market leadership.

Finally, Ed outlines how he is managing risk in this environment — staying overweight the AI CapEx trade while actively managing position sizing, downside protection, and momentum exposure.

Enjoy the episode.
