SOURCE EVIDENCE

"Many investors see echoes of the dot-com era in today's AI boom. In the late 1990s, internet stocks soared as investors rushed to profit from a world-changing technology. But when the market bubble burst, many companies failed and investors suffered steep losses. This story contains an important lesson for today: Investors can be right about a technology and still lose money."

"The risk is market concentration. VFV stock depends on U.S. large-cap stocks, and the S&P 500 can lean heavily toward its biggest technology companies. If U.S. stocks stumble, VFV stock will feel it."
