Nvidia and OpenAI abandon unfinished $100B deal in favour of $30B investment

To anyone reading, don’t do this.

This is the ONE thing you aren’t supposed to do as a passive investor. A play like this will cause you to lose upside almost always, and some people never get back in and miss out on almost a lifetime of growth.

THE MARKETS ARE NOT RATIONAL.

My concern is shifting from maximizing upside to minimizing downside because I'm only about 10-12 years from retirement.

The laziest safe thing to do is put money into a target fund that is managed. So you could look for "Target 2040" and in theory, they change the asset mix as it approaches that date.

But that’s people, what do they know about 2040 that I don’t?

If I was 10 years away, I’d maybe look at bonds or GICs or is that too conservative?
