Is the AI revolution the next dot-com boom-or the start of something even bigger? From tech valuations that seem sky-high to investors leveraging risk assets at record levels, Richard Taylor - dual U.K./U.S. citizen and Chartered Financial Planner – is joined by James Boyle – Lead Financial Planner at Plan First Wealth – explore whether this moment mirrors past cycles of transformational technology, over investment, and inevitable correction-from railways to electricity to the internet. Richard and James compare today’s “AI megatrend” with historical booms and discuss the key differences this time around, including the profitability of the companies leading it. They also outline practical steps for investors-especially those at or near retirement weather potential volatility and avoid emotional, short-term decisions.   In this episode, they discuss: • Whether the current market surge signals a bubble or a paradigm shift. • What history’s great investment manias teach us about the AI boom. • How to distinguish long-term investing from short-term speculation. • The importance of asset allocation, diversification, and “sequence of returns” planning. • Why investor psychology-not just market fundamentals-drives crashes.
