Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock has led the AI stock boom since the launch of ChatGPT, but there are now legitimate questions about whether that rally still has steam. After the company reported earnings on Aug. 28, the stock fell even though it beat analyst expectations, a sign perhaps that Nvidia's valuation had outrun the growth in its business. Last week, the stock tumbled again, first on a report that Nvidia later denied that the company was being subpoenaed by the Department of Justice.

Having so much in savings that you have to open a taxable brokerage account just to invest it is a great problem to have.

In 2022 and 2023, the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates 11 times in an effort to stifle abnormally high levels of inflation.
