Billionaires Cash Out Billions in Tech Stock Amid Market Peak and Possible Bubble
-
Jeff Bezos sold $8.5 billion in Amazon shares, Mark Zuckerberg sold $638 million in Meta shares, and the Walton family sold $2.3 billion in Walmart shares recently.
-
Experts theorize the sales could be due to fears of market volatility around the 2024 election, while stocks remain at record highs currently.
-
Other financial experts warn the sales could signal billionaire insiders bracing for an impending economic downturn or tech bubble burst.
-
The sales come as the S&P 500 is at an all-time high, having risen over 27% in the past year, adding billions to the billionaires' net worths.
-
Some suggest the sales take advantage of tax breaks from the Trump era before potential changes under a Biden administration or new Congress.
