Everywhere you look, billions are being poured into artificial intelligence, and the comparisons to the dot-com era are hard to ignore. In this episode, David Hicks breaks down what “bubble talk” really means — why not all bubbles are bad, why timing them almost never works, and how smart diversification keeps long-term investors grounded no matter what’s trending in the headlines.\n\nIt’s a timely reminder that real progress often comes from periods of exuberance — and that steady, disciplined investing still wins in the end.\n\nStay the course. Stay optimistic. Love your retirement."}
