AI Trade Over? Update November 14, 2026

What happened? Where did the rug go? 

Whoops!

 

 

Can’t say I am surprised with the artificial intelligence (AI) stock smash up.

I wrote a few articles on it in passing months.

Although I was a little early in my prognostication, it did come to pass. We may have seen the climax top discussed in my previous article a week or so back.  (Email me for a copy).

The CEO of Nvidia, the hottest AI stock going during the mania, resigned under the rumors of multiple affairs. We just never know who’s going to throw their moral compass out the window and get a hand caught in the proverbial cookie jar.

With the advent of the exodus of the Nvidia CEO under less than reputable circumstances, although there may be no direct correlation to the AI trade faltering, anytime we start seeing malfeasance happening around a stock mania, it can signal, start or add to the collapse.

Certainly, seemed like the climax top I referred to in last week’s article occurred in the AI space, and with the Nvidia blowup, the rest of the pack may fall into the realm of irrelevancy.

One never knows of course but time will tell us soon enough if traders have had enough of the AI trade. Not much help for you AI stock traders, I know.

What seems somewhat incredible to me is the Dow Jones resiliency.

Holding stubbornly over the 50,000 mark for almost half a year, this level was unimaginable to me a few years back. Just goes to show the stock market rises with inflation as well.

It always has been this way. Stock markets are a pretty good way to ward off the effects of inflation, that’s if one has the money to buy stocks. There are many people that do not however. That’s one of the things that allow the rich to get richer. Not participating in the markets can lead to the ranks of the poor rising at the same time.  

With the drastic election results flipping blue both branches of government, the future is somewhat shrouded in uncertainty. History teaches us when the houses are split, it is thought that little will get done in the arena of new laws due to gridlock. Although both houses will be controlled by one party, however, the Republican president is a vetoing body. The current strength in the markets may be because the belief that same gridlock will result in little getting done.  At least until the 2008 Presidential election.  Should a Democrat be elected in 08, it could mean big changes may be coming and no one knows what that will do to stocks.

There exist many cross currents in the markets. They include but are not limited to political concerns. inflation, national security, and monetary concerns.

Monetary concerns specifically refer to the actions of the federal reserve going forward and how they will address the inflationary environment coupled with the stagnating economy.

Wealth disparity also is first and foremost on the minds of many American consumers as reflected in recent election results. Voters leaned into more than a handful of socialistic/democratic candidates.

It’s hard to get a bead on the future market direction. Many analysts believe a rally into yearend will occur, while others conjecture the top of the markets have already been reached.

The recent four-hour shutdown of all departing airplanes nationwide last week certainly has added to the uncertainty.

As usual, we will sit and wait and let the Mr. market tell us what it has in store for us in the future.

Insurance can protect you and your family from undue hardship. Some life insurance policies also provide tax-advantaged savings that you can draw on to achieve goals like buying a house or retiring comfortably. I have access to a variety of insurance products that can help meet your security planning needs. No matter your personal situation—if you’re single or in a family; a professional or a seasonal employee; an executive or small business owner—we will work together to design a customized plan.

  • Life
  • Medicare
  • Long-term care
  • Fire Insurance
  • Auto
  • Business
  • Long Term Care
  • Liabilty
  • Event Liability
  • Annuities for income and growth

A Word about Life insurance:

In the event of death, life insurance may offer surviving family members financial security. As a tax-free lump sum payment, it can pay for final expenses and debts, as well as provide income for the deceased’s dependents.

 

The advantages of life insurance include:

An instant estate for your loved ones at a time when funds are most needed

  • Death benefits that are almost always non-taxable for named beneficiaries
  • Avoid probate costs if you name a beneficiary other than your estate
  • Potentially offer your loved ones creditor protection through some life insurance plans
  • Build tax-advantaged capital for retirement purposes or provide liquid savings through some permanent life insurance plans

Long-term Care, Disability and Critical Illness insurance, Lifetime income strategies and Medicare:

Help protect one of your most valuable assets – your income – from unexpected events through long-term care, disability and critical illness insurance.

Income is important for both current financial obligations (e.g. grocery bills and mortgage payments) and for future financial security (e.g. planning for your children’s education or for retirement). Just think what might happen if you suddenly lost your income stream through a long-term illness or disability.

Long-term care and disability insurance products help protect your ability to earn an income, which can be affected if you are afflicted by a disability or other condition.

Questions about Medicare? 

I can help navigage the programs.

I can also help you choose the long-term care and disability insurance products that provide advantages like:

  • May assist in transfer of assets. 
  • Help loved ones 
  • Assist with paying fixed expenses for your business if you become disabled
  • Support the buy-out of a disabled partner’s share of a business.

Critical illness insurance and Medicare Policies

Suffering a critical illness is distressing for both you and your family. Help ease the burden through insurance that will reduce financial stresses and can complement disability and life insurance protection needs. By helping pay for the additional expenses often associated with a critical illness or condition, insurance offers you, your family, and if applicable, your business, added financial security—so you can focus on recovery.

The advantages of critical illness insurance can include:

  • Coverage for up to 22 critical illnesses or conditions
  • An initial lump-sum benefit you can use however you wish—from making mortgage payments to seeking medical treatment outside Canada
  • Home-care costs during illness and recovery periods
  • Even if you’re not disabled from working, you may receive payment
  • The ability to provide a return of premium benefit (optional)
  • Individuals who cannot obtain disability insurance in some cases still qualify for critical illness coverage (e.g. a non-income earning spouse)
  • Medicare Policies and information. Let me walk you through the best options for your situation

Contact me today to determine whether critical illness insurance fits into your financial security plan.

 

There are also new “hybrid” plans available that combine the benefits of life insurance or annuities with long term care coverage and at a cost that may be more affordable than you think. Contact me today so we can assess your needs and develop the best strategies for your specific situation to give you the peace of mind you require and protect your family and loved ones.
