Brief Summary

The markets are back to their old tricks, with the S&P 500 hitting yet another record high as investors double down on the artificial intelligence gold rush.

Why This Matters

When the market hits record highs, your retirement accounts and 401(k) balances look healthier on paper, but this relentless climb is built heavily on the volatile promise of AI. If the tech bubble continues to inflate, your portfolio gains depend entirely on the sector maintaining its breakneck pace; if the hype eventually crashes into reality, the correction will be felt in every household’s long-term savings.
