Investors just poured a record amount of money into U.S. tech stocks, but some analysts warn that prices might be getting too hot. This creates a tricky spot where the market could either keep flying or take a sudden dip.

## Idea

The stock market has been on a tear thanks to AI excitement, leading to record inflows last week. While the momentum is strong, headlines are warning that valuations are elevated, meaning stocks are expensive relative to actual earnings. Instead of buying at the very top, a smarter play is to wait for a short-term pullback. If the market takes a brief dip—like it often does after big rallies—it gives you a chance to buy the core tech index at a discount before the next leg up.
