Undisruptable: How Dividend Stocks Became Market Leaders - And Why That Scares Me

Dividend stocks and defensive sectors have dramatically outperformed as investors flee AI-vulnerable and AI-spending industries, but valuations now appear stretched. Consumer staples and energy sectors trade at historically high forward P/E multiples, often exceeding the S&P 500, despite lower long-term earnings growth prospects.

ARKK: Heads You Don't Win, Tails You Lose

ARK Innovation ETF is now subject to more market risk, and this has significant implications for owners. The ETF should offer returns that are well above those of the equity market, but that's still not the case.
