Are you wondering whether AI investment strategies belong in your retirement portfolio? In this episode of The Financial Hour, Tom Dupree and Elizabeth Dupree explore why personalized investment management focusing on established, dividend-paying companies may be a better approach than chasing speculative AI stocks for Kentucky retirement planning.

Tom Dupree draws parallels between today’s AI hype and the late 1990s internet boom, explaining why most pure-play AI companies won’t survive long-term.

“The biggest beneficiaries of AI will be the existing companies, car companies, energy companies, insurance companies, banking companies, pipeline companies, companies that do things that, you know, real estate companies.”

Unlike mass-market investment approaches, Dupree Financial Group’s personalized investment management strategy focuses on active research and nimble portfolio adjustments.

“We will sell things if they’re too expensive or if we feel like we can buy something cheaper with that money, we might sell something.”

The episode highlights how mature companies like Verizon and AT&T offer superior long-term value compared to speculative growth stocks.

“If we can buy shares at a good price, we can compound your money through higher dividends and potentially more growth of the principle.”

Dupree Financial Group’s investment philosophy is centered on thorough research and building long-term relationships with both clients and portfolio companies.

The discussion reveals how modern algorithmic trading creates both challenges and opportunities for active portfolio managers.

“They say that 90% of all the trades are done by machines, not people. So yeah, there’s a lot of trading going on and it happens, but that gives a person who’s thinking about it a chance to get in at a good price sometimes.”

For individuals aged 50-65 approaching retirement, the focus should be on proven wealth-building strategies rather than speculative investments.

“What we want to do is try to get you a positive return after taxes and after inflation. That’s hard to do.”

The episode highlights the importance of collaborating with a Kentucky-based financial advisor who understands local investment needs and offers personalized guidance.
