The Week Wall Street Panicked, and Mega-Cap Tech Quietly Won
While headlines screamed “$9 trillion bubble risk,” Global Tech 15 outperformed the S&P 500. Again.
Every financial headline this week carried the same undertone: stocks have gone too far, too fast.
Moody’s called it a “$9 trillion equity bubble” threatening the real economy.
Others warned that “if stock prices reverse, so will consumer spending.”
CNBC piled on with “a sweeping betrayal of trust” at Zions Bank—a story that briefly erased $1 billion in market value and rattled regional lenders nationwide.
And to cap it off, Bitcoin ETFs saw $1.2 billion in outflows—their worst week since mid-2024.
The message was clear: panic is back in fashion.
But while the mainstream fretted over fragility, mega-cap tech—the same names supposedly “priced for perfection”—did what it always does when fear returns.
It led.
The digital economy
Here’s the irony: the same pundits warning about the dangers of a top-heavy market are powered by the very companies they claim are overvalued.
Their broadcasts run on NVIDIA GPUs, their headlines get distributed through Meta’s ad pipes, and their research models sit on Microsoft Azure.
When the talking heads say “the stock market is the economy,” they’re half right.
Because today, the digital economy is the market.
And its plumbing—AI infrastructure, cloud bandwidth, enterprise software, and semiconductors—remains the foundation of both productivity and pricing power.
That’s why, even in a week where Bitcoin fell $10,000 and regional banks imploded, the Global Tech 15 rose 2.70%, comfortably beating the S&P 500’s 1.74%.
No memes here
The Global Tech 15 isn’t a meme portfolio.
It’s a curated basket of 12–15 mega-cap tech equities, companies that dominate global infrastructure, consumer behaviour, and capital efficiency.
No small-cap gambles.
No derivatives.
No token leverage.
Just cash-flow compounding giants.
While financial media obsessed over Zions’ loan scandal and Bitcoin ETF outflows, our top holdings in Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta quietly gained ground.
Because the “problem” everyone else feared, a market dependent on a few dominant players, is exactly what gives our strategy its resilience.
Dominance scales.
Panic doesn’t.
Discipline and compounding
This isn’t new.
Since the AI rotation began in late 2022, the same pattern has repeated:
Fear drives volatility.
Volatility drives capital back to quality.
Quality lives in mega-cap tech.
This week’s +2.70% versus the S&P’s +1.74% is just another snapshot of that structural shift.
Global Tech 15 outperformed not because it’s contrarian, but because it’s disciplined.
We don’t rotate for headlines. We compound dominance.
That’s how the portfolio keeps outperforming through every narrative cycle, from “AI bubble” to “soft landing” to “consumer slowdown.”
How we do it
Here’s the filter we use at North Tech Capital:
Buy the infrastructure of progress, not its speculation.
When fear sells, focus on where cash still flows:
Cloud & AI Infrastructure: the backbone of productivity.
Digital Platforms: the operating system of global demand.
Cybersecurity & Data: the toll booths of the new economy.
That’s what Global Tech 15 tracks, market leadership as an asset class.
