Forget the K-shaped economy narrative. What we're actually seeing is something more extreme—call it the I-shaped economy. You've got this tiny dot at the very top performing incredibly well, crushing it across the board. Then there's the rest of the market represented by that long vertical line, limping along and barely holding its own. The gap between the winners and everyone else isn't widening anymore; it's become a chasm. This kind of extreme concentration has serious implications for asset allocation and risk management in volatile markets.

I have to say, the analogy of this Type I economy is brilliant and hits too close to home.

The I-shaped economy is spot on. Right now, it's the top group that's thriving, while everyone else is struggling along the vertical line.

I've sensed it for a long time. Isn't this the ultimate version of winner-takes-all?

Type I economy is just a fancy way of saying wealth gap; it should have been explained this way long ago.

The I-shaped economy is outrageous; a small group at the top makes a fortune, while a large number at the bottom are being crushed alive.

i-shaped economy? Nice words, but in reality, we're all being drained.
