Wall St Is Pumping AI Stocks — So Why Are They Falling

The creator argues that Wall Street's bullish stance on AI stocks is driven by conflicts of interest, as banks profit from advising companies. Despite widespread buy ratings and inclusion in major indices, many AI-related stocks, including IBM and SpaceX, have seen significant price drops, with analysts issuing price targets that seem detached from reality and company fundamentals. The creator highlights SpaceX's inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 under new, relaxed rules and questions the validity of extremely high price targets given the company's unprofitability and astronomical valuation multiples.
