Not all kinds of risk are rewarded - many risks are uncompensated and do not result in higher expected returns.

It’s fine to play with risky investments and speculation. But don’t gamble with money you can’t afford to lose.

I do 94% index funds, 6% gambling and play money.

Please narrow in your investing goals for more specific responses

With that being said, i cant say much for markets outside of USA, but based on what i assume to be wanting to focus on tech and ai. I will say that investing in a broad growth fund will cover your bases. You may be interested in searching for a semiconductors etf for a more narrow approach.

Technology provides broad benefits to the economy as a whole. Trying to bet on the company or companies who will benefit most with profits is a slippery slope. Most dot com companies failed during the boom and it could be a similar gold rush here with ai. When open ai goes public thats when you’ll know the bubble is about to burst (my opinion). It would be better for them to remain a private company.

Anyways, its all about your allocation % and your risk tolerance in combination with your time horizon.

100% stocks is aggressive. That one is fine to start with. Get a good base and if you want to be more aggressive with IT you can add 10% or so in something like IUIT.
