3 Stocks to Watch During the AI Frenzy
Special Report by Marc Chaikin
Artificial intelligence (“AI”) and all that it encompasses is incredibly exciting. It’s a new bull market... And friends who were skittish about investing for the last few years are now calling and e-mailing me out of the blue to get my opinion. This is often when people get hurt. Whether you find the idea wondrous or horrifying, AI is finally going mainstream. The AI frenzy kicked off last November, when San Francisco-based company OpenAI
launched ChatGPT. This chatbot wowed users with its humanlike conversation. It also served up quick answers to complex questions – greatly cutting down on research time.
Unlike previously hyped tech trends like the metaverse, generative AI has immediate applications and uses... This isn’t some pipe dream for the future... It’s now being reported that chatbot-themed investments have added $1.4 trillion in stock market value in 2023. In fact, generative AI may make up most of the gains we’ve seen in the market this year. The technology itself is here to stay. It already has massive buy-ins from the biggest and most well-established tech companies of the past 20 years.
But let me be clear: As I’m about to show you, the run-up in AI stocks is not the whole story. AI can provide massive good for all humanity – but there’s a dark side to this emerging story, too... one that most Americans haven’t even considered. What’s going on is much, much bigger than AI. Surely you and everyone else knows this mania won’t last forever. Nothing does. However, the tech revolution is not going to stop. It’s going to continue to accelerate. AI is already part of our everyday life. You see it everywhere, like the facial recognition that unlocks your iPhone, Amazon’s virtual assistant Alexa, and Google’s “Call Screen” feature. The innovations that come from generative AI will create countless investment opportunities down the road. But as history has taught us, with great progress comes great risk... History Doesn’t Repeat Itself, but It Rhymes There always has been, and always will be, some investment du jour – the next big thing that makes early investors a fortune... Then it ultimately harms the investors who buy in too late.
It was gold in the ‘70s... Then Japanese stocks... The Internet boom... crypto... social media... It goes as far back as the “tulip mania” during the 17th century Dutch Golden Age. Things got so crazy that people exchanged
12 sheep or 1,000 pounds of cheese for a single tulip bulb. You can’t feed your family tulips during a cold Dutch winter. Compare where we are with AI today with the dawn of Internet integration in 1995... You might remember when people used to say, “Why would I need a computer in my house?” This is where we’re at today with AI, because folks just don’t get it yet... The first smartphones were nothing like the miniature computers we carry around in our pockets today. A 2005 Nokia phone didn’t use the Internet at all. Instead, it used a telephone communications band with a tiny digital backchannel. But kids in Finland started to use this backchannel for texting – specifically, texting 1,000 times a day with their friends to build a de facto social network. That networking effect set the stage for the boom in wireless Internet, starting with the iPhone. The moment the first website went live on August 6, 1991, it became almost inevitable that we’d end up here. AI can be as exciting as it is scary... Data Is King What is the next technology growth story that will drive demand for data storage? Generative-AI models are designed to respond to you like a human would. In some cases, they can generate audio or video files with a human voice. What generative-AI models are good at is pattern recognition. They make sense of large data sets. And the more data you feed the models, the “smarter” they get. Generative-AI systems like ChatGPT are computing systems with interconnected nodes that work much like neurons in the human brain, with each node having its own computational processes. They accept data, process it, and usually push the output to a new node with new parameters within the network.
What is important to understand about machine learning is that there is a human element to advancing the functions of these systems. The more people who use a model, the better the model gets. It “learns” through human interactions and feedback. So, there’s value in being a first mover in this space because it means you’ll collect more feedback than competitors who get a later start. Ultimately, generative-AI models are only as good as the data they’re fed, or “trained” on.
Increasing applications for AI technology will mean a lot more data and much higher demand for a place to store it all. AI is playing a huge role in data analytics across many industries.
There’s no doubt that AI will change the way we do things. It has the potential to automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks. And that will give employees more time to focus on other – and more important – duties. Throughout history, there have always been periods when new innovations disrupt everything about how human societies function. But the bottom line is, it’s okay to be apprehensive about new technology and still make money off of it. No matter where you stand on tech, you can’t ignore it as an investment opportunity. Tech investments have likely made the average retail consumer more money than anything else. And it’s nearly impossible to make much money in the stock market, decade after decade, ignoring hot tech trends. However, investors must remain skeptical and strategic. That way you end up holding the historic winners and avoiding the historic losers.
The Mainstream Financial Media Won’t Show You What to Do With Your Money
If you’re looking at the hundreds of AI recommendations and warnings printed in the mainstream financial media right now, you’re better off reading tea leaves.
My name is Marc Chaikin. I’m best known as the creator of one of Wall Street’s most popular indicators... a system that appears in every Bloomberg and Reuters terminal in the world, and is now used by hundreds of banks, hedge funds, and every major brokerage site. For decades, I used it to help banks grow wealthier. But then the crash of 2008 came along...
My wife lost around 50% of her 401(k)... all because of a bad money manager. And that’s when I made a radical decision that yanked me out of retirement and has kept me working 24/7 for the last decade now... creating what I consider the ultimate “secret power” for everyday people. It’s a way to see which stocks could soon double your money, by taking the same information I gave Wall Street for 50 years... and using it to give yourself a huge and “unfair” advantage. And right now, I’m giving you a full version of the Power Gauge on three popular stocks to try yourself. Here are the three stocks you can plug in right now.
Stock No. 1: Salesforce (CRM)
Click here to enter CRM into the Power Gauge right now... You’ll see the rating turned BULLISH after very positive
expert activity and strong earnings performance. Salesforce is one of the largest Software as a Service (“SaaS”) companies in the U.S. It pioneered the approach of a cloud-based, annual subscription model instead of the old perpetual-license model. Essentially, rather than customers owning the software they use, they simply rent it. Without massive upfront fees, this makes it less expensive for customers. And the model is better for Salesforce, too. It leads to high renewal rates and steady recurring revenue with stable, higher-margin sales. CRM has a bullish Power Gauge rating which is driven by analysts revising earnings estimates upward and a very low short-interest ratio. More importantly, CRM has outperformed the S&P 500 over the past six months and is experiencing sustained accumulation. Our Chaikin Money Flow indicator shows persistency and strength versus its long-term price trend. CRM is a perfect example of a Classic Chaikin Bull... It has a “bullish” Power Gauge rating, is outperforming the market, and with persistent in buying in the stock. And right now, you can listen in as I explain exactly how the Power Gauge works to predict these huge stock moves in our special event, How to Make Money Alongside the Five AI Companies to Buy Right Now.
Stock No. 2: Williams-Sonoma (WSM)
Click here to WSM into the Power Gauge right now... And you’ll see the rating is NEUTRAL. Williams-Sonoma is a specialty retailer of various products for the home. The company specializes in
cooking, dining, and entertainment products. It operates a 3D-imaging and augmented-reality platform for the home furnishings and decor industry. Williams-Sonoma has been way ahead of the curve for omnichannel capabilities, allowing for both a strong online and in-store shopping experience. This standout capability helped the company barely skip a beat during the pandemic, and even helped grow its distribution and fulfillment capabilities when its e-commerce segment saw a boom in demand. Today, WSM has a Power Gauge rating of “neutral.” Equally important, WSM is not underperforming on our Chaikin Money Flow indicator. WSM yields a high return on shareholders’ equity and even generates high free cash flow relative to its market capitalization. However, there has been short interest due to more negative opinions by analysts recently. In short, WSM yields attractive financial metrics and strong earnings performance. But ultimately, it has negative expert activity and neutral price-volume activity. So, with its dominant position in the omnichannel home-retail industry, WSM is a neutral- rated stock to closely watch for signs of a buying opportunity.
Stock No. 3: Verizon Communications (VZ)
Click here to VZ into the Power Gauge right now... And you’ll see the rating is listed as BEARISH.
Verizon Communications holds the No. 2 spot in what the industry calls “mobile subscription” in the U.S. with a roughly 29% market share. Cellular giant AT&T holds the No. 1 position with nearly 46% of the market under its command. You’d think this is the kind of business that thrives in any market environment. After all, when the going gets tough, consumers cut back on spending in almost every area. But these days, a wireless subscription is seen as an essential. However, Verizon is facing several challenges today... The stock’s earnings performance has been very weak. Over the past three to five years, its earnings per share was worse than expected, along with inconsistent earnings over the past five years. Telecommunications businesses in the U.S. that provide cellular service was an exciting business when the Internet was new. Now, it’s practically a utility. Companies are heavily regulated and forced to spend billions maintaining and growing to stay competitive. Further, analysts’ opinions have been more negative as the industry has been underperforming the market. So, it’s no surprise that according to the Power Gauge, VZ could soon be rated a “sell” at every major bank and hedge fund... which means this company could end up as one of the biggest losers in the coming months. If you own VZ, get out immediately. Finding bearish stocks is how I once appeared on CNBC’s Fast Money back in 2014 and warned the public about Priceline.com, just before the stock plummeted.
Should I Put My Money in the New Bull Market?
In my event, which you can watch right now by clicking here, I’ll walk you through how the Power Gauge works. I’ll give away my No. 1 AI recommendation. While AI is the strongest tide in the sea right now, there’s a massive dark side to today’s story. It has been present in every frenzy since the dawn of the financial markets. When the AI bubble bursts – as bubbles always do – we’ll see a devastating sell-off. You must have an exit strategy. That’s the only way to see massive potential gains from this moment forward – without taking on catastrophic risk. The Power Gauge has identified at least nine of the top 10 stocks of the year... every year... for the last six years. My strategy will help you take advantage of this critical stage of the AI investment trend... while also protecting you from the AI stocks that could cost you everything in the months to come. I’ll show you exactly how to play my prediction using the Power Gauge. Last year alone, it pointed to Riot Blockchain before it shot up 10,090% in less than 12 months... Digital Turbine, before it shot up 789% in eight months... Overstock.com, before it shot up 1,050% in four months... and more. Watch my event, where I’ll explain what to buy now, and what to buy next, for the biggest potential gains of this new bull market. Regards, Marc Chaikin
