The technology sector's weight in the US stock market has reached a record high of 40%.

How exaggerated is this figure? A comparison will tell you—since 2020 alone, this ratio has doubled. Moreover, it is now 7 percentage points higher than the peak during the internet bubble of 2000. That was a crazy era, and now it's even crazier.

In contrast, the global other markets have only 13% in the technology industry, which means it has not exceeded the level of the internet bubble in 2000 nor the high point of 2021.

This comparison clearly illustrates the issue— the concentration in the US market has become outrageously high. Technology stocks dominate, and the entire market's influence is controlled by just a few sectors. This imbalance is even more prominent when compared to global markets.

40%？ Oh my, is this a casino or the stock market... Playing like this in the US stock market will eventually lead to a crash; such high concentration is bound to cause issues. More exaggerated than the internet bubble? Then we better be careful this time. Only 13% in other parts of the world; the dominance of the US stock market is truly outrageous. AI chip frenzy, what about other industries? Are they dead? This structure looks unhealthy; it feels like we're waiting for a sudden collapse. A seven percentage point gap indicates that this time it's even bigger than last time. Technology stocks support half the market, the risk is extremely high.

empirically speaking, the concentration metrics here are genuinely alarming... 40% vs 13% globally is literally a 3x divergence. the data suggests we're not in bubble territory anymore, we're *past* it and nobody's asking the right questions about what happens when the correction finally materializes

ngl, this is basically the nasdaq's version of putting all your eggs in one basket and then deep-frying that basket... 40% tech concentration is absolutely unhinged, like imagine if a restaurant menu was 40% the same dish lmao. that's not diversification, that's a single-point-of-failure waiting to happen, fr fr.

40%？America is really going all-in on technology now, other sectors are all dead The bubble is more outrageous than in 2000. What if it bursts this time? Other global markets are only at 13%, a far cry from the spectrum. Only the US dares to play like this It feels like the US market is just the private property of a few big tech companies, other stocks have no presence With this concentration, it's either take off or go down with the ship, no middle ground
