Stock Market Crash Is Coming, Warren Buffett Says This Is the Smartest Move Investors Can Make

After a year of record gains, major U.S. indexes are showing more turbulence. The S&P 500 is down nearly 2% over the past week, while the Nasdaq Composite has fallen more than 4% in the same period, with the tech sector facing the steepest pressure as investors scrutinize AI spending. Higher bond yields have raised borrowing costs, increasing the expense for AI data-center expansion plans. The article also argues it’s still unclear whether the volatility is a temporary dip or the start of a deeper drawdown. It points to Warren Buffett’s 1999 warning that investors should focus on a company’s competitive advantage and its durability, using the dot-com bust as the parallel.
