"CDT is raising cash and sounding the alarm on extreme AI valuations and declining corporate insider activity, warning that today's market risks resemble the peak of the Dot Com Bubble."
Executive Summary
CDT Capital Management's September 2025 letter cautions investors that risk is currently too expensive. While the S&P 500 achieved its best September performance in 15 years (+3.65%), extreme anomalies like Palantir trading at over 100x sales and a negative excess earnings yield (-0.6%) echo the peak of the Dot Com Bubble. Coupled with falling insider buying activity, CDT has raised its cash reserves to 12.2% of the fund and advises investors to refrain from going 'all-in,' suggesting dollar-cost averaging instead.
