For the sake of your significant other and/or kids, let someone else, even if you have to pay a professional financial manager to do it, manage your 401k for you, so they aren’t having to support you in your old age.

Seven.

All of them are tech companies and their valuations depend *extremely heavily* on this AI boom, the future of which is anyone's guess.
