Signs of crowding in the AI mega-cap trade are starting to show — and markets are doing what they often do best: rotating. Money is quietly drifting away from crowded winners and into small caps and overlooked names that haven’t had their moment yet.
The numbers tell the story 📊
-
Russell 2000: +7% this month
-
S&P 600 Small Cap: +6.5%
-
S&P 500: a modest +1.5%
Same market. Very different lanes.
What’s especially interesting? Insiders have been buying across a wide range of these smaller (and sometimes unfairly ignored) companies — from food and retail to software, energy, healthcare, and travel. We’ve published deep dives (often bullish, sometimes cautious) on names like UNFI, CRSR, SG, AVTR, BBWI, IRDM, RH, ENPH, NCLH, DXCM, and many others.
No, not all of them are true small caps.
No, not all of them will be winners.
But historically, this is how multi-year returns are born:
➡️ when leadership rotates
➡️ when expectations are low
➡️ when insiders quietly vote with their wallets
🎯 Carpe Diem takeaway:
When everyone crowds into the same AI trade, the next opportunity often shows up somewhere less glamorous — and a lot earlier than most people expect.

Sometimes the fun isn’t in the obvious trade — it’s in the rotation. 😄
