For the first time in my life, I have a bunch of money I can invest in stocks - but, of course, with the #AIBubble about to pop this would be a spectacularly bad time to do so.
I guess I should study some past stock bubble bursts, and what the ideal monthly spread is for investing afterwards - because finding the single "ideal moment" for investing would be a fool's game.

The hype is epic right now - but so will be the fall.

I fell in love with investments in the early 2000, never invested a lot of money but I was really attracted by the way that world works.
I think that before deciding what stocks to pick, you should read a couple of books (yes... books...) about assets management, risk appetite, financial instruments and so on.
What to invest on comes as a last step.

I did read a book about risk appetite when I applied for a job as a risk analyst at Munich Re.
I do have a secure long-term investment in the form of an apartment with a really low mortgage rate. Right now, my plan is to invest in ETFs once the bubble bursts, and spread the investment over the course of a year or so instead of buying all at once.

I also only use ETFs.
You could have a look at ethical ETFs maybe.

Sadly unless it's an IPO the company gets none of the money you spend on stocks.
Mostly stock & shares are speculation, a form of gambling where the "house" doesn't always win. Those in the know are the winners.
Clue; how often are shares bought for the dividend (i.e. an investment to get an income) and how often bought to sell later for a profit?

After AI bubble bursts is a good time!

You should also tell him that investing in futures can lead to loss that are even bigger than the initial investment.
It's definitely not for "normal people" investments.

I’ve heard a few financial advisors mention the same as this. Low cost index funds.

I do know that I don't have enough expertise to know what stocks will perform well, so it's best to spread them wide when I buy them.
