Sorry about the bombastic title but as an investor who has a professional controlling all of his portfolio, I'm really curious if it's worth starting my own smaller "on-the-side" portfolio that's AI focused as a kind of protection. and what that might even look like, if possible this late in the game.
The problem is I'm utterly paralyzed and I can't think of a "sane" plan, so I'm curious if anyone else is more level headed or sees a more obvious solution.
My main portfolio (not controlled by me) is mostly "boring" "blue chip" style stocks, I'm sure there's a bit of tech industry exposure, but also a lot of "Walmart" and "Coca Cola" style investments. I'm not complaining about this, but I worry I've completely lost out on any hope of benefitting from Jensen Huang and Sam Altman getting insanely rich (or more rich anyways).
Ingoring my main portfolio, and I have x% of money to play with, is there any hope of getting in now with valuations so high for Nvidia and other hyper-scalars, 2 AI IPOs on the horizon, Chinese models threatening OpenAI / Anthropic long term, a 50% chance of a bubble-like correction in the next year and on and on. What would you do? Nothing because it's too late? some kind of dollar cost averaging? lump sum all now? Just wait to see what happens after those two IPOs? Wait for a the 6 month employee lockout to expire on those IPOs?
Vaguely I would assume Nvidia, chip makers and other hyperscalars are still going to be winners long term. I think it's 50/50 that openAI and anthropic will survive forever given how amazing LLMs are getting from open source and the LLM architecture is basically public information at this point (their only moat is training data).
Thanks, sorry about the mess of thoughts here :)
