My New Year’s resolution was to go for growth in 2026 by taking on more risk to achieve greater rewards — but there’s calculated risk and foolish risk, and I’m looking for investments based on the former and that avoid the latter.
Naturally, I asked ChatGPT which investments are too risky for this year, and its response was simple yet indisputable. “Anything that needs perfect conditions to work in 2026 is risky. Rates are still restrictive, liquidity is selective and markets are far less forgiving than 2020-2021,” it explained.
