  "account": "The AI-driven bull market on Wall Street turned four years old earlier this week. Tech companies, empowered with autonomous decision-making tools, catapulted several major indices, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite, to all-time highs. However, despite the S&P 500 hovering near its record close, 84% of its 503 components are trading at least 10% below their record highs, according to a recent report. This includes major sectors like consumer staples, consumer discretionary, utilities, materials, and real estate, with real estate leading the decline, with 97% of stocks down at least 10%. Energy, Healthcare, and Information Technology show more resilience, with 62%, 70%, and 72% of their respective stocks down at least 10%. The situation is worsened by the fact that 59% of stocks are down at least 20%, 41% more than 30%, and 17% more than 50%. Interestingly, the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF, which gives equal weight to all components regardless of valuation, shows a stark divergence from the benchmark S&P 500. This imbalance highlights a historic concentration of gains in a few AI-powered companies, a pattern that has historically foreshadowed market crashes.",
