Forget AI—the real bubble could be brewing in something completely different. As we head into 2026, traders and analysts are eyeing a completely different asset class: precious metals. While everyone's been obsessed with AI-driven rallies, the smart money might be quietly accumulating elsewhere. The narrative shift away from AI hype could redirect billions into tangible assets like gold, silver, and industrial metals. This isn't just speculation—historical market cycles show that when one bubble deflates, capital floods into "safe-haven" alternatives. The question isn't if a correction comes, but where investors will park their cash when it does.

Are precious metals really about to take off? I doubt it. This kind of rhetoric is something every bear market has someone talk about.

Precious metals are indeed worth accumulating this time, but calling AI a bubble is too absolute... You need to keep both hands on it.
