Named investors called AI-era markets a bubble: Ray Dalio saw 'classic signs' of one reminiscent of 1929 and 2000 and agreed with Jeremy Grantham that this is 'the biggest investment bubble in American history'; Goldman Sachs's Peter Oppenheimer partly dissented — 'there does not appear to be a valuation bubble … there may be an earnings bubble' — while Apollo's Torsten Slok declared 'the 60/40 portfolio is broken.'?

Context: The speakers set no fixed date; this standing bubble call is tracked against its named indicator, the equity-issuance and IPO surge — SpaceX (public and trading below its first-trade price), Anthropic and OpenAI (both reported eyeing near-$1 trillion listings). The 2027-12-31 resolveBy is a charitable concrete reading, not the speakers' own. Unverified at capture.

While the exact magnitude and mix of future debt issuance from the hyperscalers is uncertain, our review of management commentary leaves us expecting a growing role for debt financing in the AI buildout in the years ahead.?

— Goldman Sachs · Jul 28, 2026
Context: Forward forecast, checkable against issuance and filed capex for 2026-2027. The 2026 leg is firming: about $194 billion issued in the first half against a $250 billion full-year forecast, and BNY independently expects the full year to exceed $250 billion, with hyperscalers already over 12% of a record $1.5 trillion of US investment-grade issuance to 12 August. The debt-share-of-capex limb remains unmeasured. Goldman's note was read via Yahoo Finance rather than directly.

Generative AI could expose the equivalent of ~300 million full-time jobs to automation globally.?

— Goldman Sachs · Mar 28, 2023
Context: Exposure (tasks automatable), not displacement (jobs lost); the two are routinely conflated in coverage. Not tagged as a scorable prediction because 'exposed' has no agreed observable that settles it.
