Retirees: If You Own Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks, Here's What You Should Do Right Now
2026-03-26 09:20:00 ET
Are you a retiree who owns one or more artificial intelligence (AI) stocks? It wouldn't be surprising if you are.
They've been performing incredibly well for a while now. In fact, they've been soaring for the better part of the past three years, shortly after the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT set off an AI race that mimics the dot-com boom of the late 1990s. It's certainly felt like a "can't-lose" opportunity, so much so that -- like then -- not participating in the frenzy felt like a mistake regardless of your age.
All good things do eventually come to an end, of course. Even if the wind-down of the AI mania is likely to end differently than others have (with unviable companies gradually bowing out rather than a reset that only leaves survivors standing), it's still going to take a broad toll on most investors. And that toll could be downright dangerous for retirees who need to protect their nest eggs to ensure they can continue producing adequate income.
