Many successful investors regularly invest new money. It's an under-appreciated, winning approach to the stock market. Here's why this approach is helpful: Individual stocks are prone to ups and downs. Furthermore, long periods of flat returns can unexpectedly be followed by sudden bursts higher. Additionally, new companies go public and new industries emerge, giving investors fresh opportunities.

I'm at an age where most of my peers aren't retiring. But in recent years, I've seen a lot of my friends' parents retire, as well as older relatives of mine. And I've noticed a common trend -- diving headfirst into retirement without really thinking things through. Put bluntly, that's a mistake. And it's one I'd like to help more near-retirees avoid.

But the problem is that with the stock rising rapidly and now trading at an inflated valuation, near its all-time high, it could be ripe for a decline.

A recent sell-off in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks should serve as an important reminder to investors not to ignore valuations. There is a lot of demand for AI-related products and services, and concerns about whether the tech sector is once again overspending on growth are valid.
