I can see AI manipulating the market place to drive stocks up so people buy them, so venture funds can cash in at high points and then let the stock crash so they can buy it up again.

The only defense to this is to find stocks that have solid value behind them and hold onto them and take the dividends.

The AI market is much to large and complex to be manipulated by anyone. It includes hundreds of stocks and many large investors that work against each other.

You can download the daily stock prices of AI stocks at Nasdaq.com. The AI market is much too large and complex to be manipulated by anyone.

If you analyze stock price movements in comparison to the market in general and to events that affect the market, I think you'll see that your theory isn't correct.

Yes. Get paid while you patiently wait for them to hopefully rise, and enjoy the tax advantage of qualified dividends.

However, some stocks that undulate can be profitable trades if you can find them. But you’ll generally wind up paying tax on short term gains so then there’s that to consider.
