My concern is that the "Magnificent 7" stocks are heavily into AI (except Apple) and because of their huge market caps, the most popular etfs have a large component of Mag 7. Even the "global" Vanguard fund is about 20% Mag 7 (1), for example (and the next one on their list is TSMC). The Vanguard S&P 500 etf is 36% Mag 7 (2).

If there's an AI pop, a most people and most huge funds will lose money, driving liquidity out of the global financial system.

I've started investing into a mix of Europe etf and global etf, instead of just the global etf, because the global ETF is so exposed to US computer companies.
