Forget AI. Any company in the S&P could set fire to their entire business in a pivot to Labubus.

A certain amount of required scrutiny and experience derisks that possibility. Also remember pre-IPO the valuation isn't set by the broader market, so you don't know if any of these valuations are even real.

Once these companies go through the same process Google or any other S&P member did, they're welcome to join the party.
