Dan Niles 50% Market Crash Warning Despite AI Boom | Top Tech Investor Explains Why| In the Money with Amber Kanwar

The S&P 500 has erased all of its losses for 2025 but according to veteran tech fund manager Dan Niles, it’s far too early to celebrate. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Dan shares why he's sitting on cash, even as tech rebounds, and why this moment reminds him more of past bubbles than a new bull run. He warns that a 50% market drop is very much on the table, drawing parallels to painful drawdowns during the dot-com crash and the financial crisis.

Dan dives into the disconnect between investor sentiment and fundamentals, pointing to signs of an AI “digestion phase,” slowing capex from the biggest tech names (like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon), and stretched valuations that could set up investors for disappointment. He explains why he believes many are ignoring the macroeconomic headwinds and why that’s a risk in this current environment.

In the listener Q&A, Dan breaks down the red flags he sees in popular names like Palantir (PLTR), Reddit, and Shopify (SHOP), and explains why he’s avoiding companies like Google (GOOG) and Apple (AAPL), despite their tempting valuations. For him, valuation discipline and market share trends are non-negotiable.

In Pro Picks, Dan highlights Cisco (CSCO) as a top play in AI infrastructure, explains why Microsoft (MSFT) is the most attractive Magnificent 7 stock right now, and reinforces why cash is still his top pick. He sees holding cash not as a passive move, but as an active portfolio strategy in volatile, overvalued markets.

Whether you're riding the AI wave or wondering when to take some chips off the table, this episode delivers top insights and contrarian thinking from one of tech’s most seasoned voices.
