Summary
Global tech stocks plunged after the launch of DeepSeek, a low-cost AI model by Chinese startup DeepSeek, sparked investor concerns over the dominance and valuation of AI giants like Nvidia.
Nvidia shares fell 17%, wiping $593 billion in market value—the largest single-day loss for any company.
The selloff impacted chipmakers, AI firms, and datacenter companies globally.
Analysts view DeepSeek’s cost-efficient model as intensifying competition, potentially challenging U.S. tech dominance.
While I understand your point here, but a 10% drop amongst tech companies should not be a huge drop for a properly diversified 100% stock based global index fund.
A 10% drop in general is expected for index funds, that’s why you should have a long time horizon. If a drop of 50% is more than you can handle then the stock allocation should be lowered from 100% and bonds increased by the same amount. S&P500 is not enough diversification, not nearly enough. Funds that track MSCI ACWI is a lot better in terms of diversification, and diversification is the ONLY free meal in investing.
Oh, a 10% drop is not super concerning. It’s more “what happens next.” The magnificent 7 have gone through the roof in terms of valuation since 2022… should those come back to Earth abruptly, it’s not just tech bros who suffer.
