Retail Investors: Don’t Let the AI Hype Wreck Your Portfolio

October 21, 2025 Blog

Investment fraud lawyer Jake Zamansky recently shared important insights in a TalkMarkets.com article regarding the uptick in interest in AI-related stocks and private equity deals. In that article, Zamansky warns that ordinary retail investors are piling heavily into all things AI, which could ultimately lead to a repeat of the same risky cycle seen before in past market crashes. Too many people with minimal investing experience are boasting about profits from AI stocks — which is a classic sign of a market bubble.

While some AI companies may succeed, others are fueled more by hype than real innovation. Builder.ai, a startup that was accused of fraud and recently filed for bankruptcy, is a prime example of how overvalued or misleading companies in the AI space can collapse. The same risky enthusiasm is showing up in private equity deals, where failed investments like First Brands and Tricolor have already cost investors heavily.
