Listen to the audio version of this article (generated by artificial intelligence).
The NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs are currently underway — and if you’ve been watching, you know that playoff hockey has a way of causing absolute chaos.
Momentum fluctuations happen quickly. One bad bounce can change the entire game. And every now and then you see something so strange that you can’t believe it happened.
That’s exactly what happened during a game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers recently.
Flyers defenseman Nick Siler somehow managed to hit himself in the face with an opponent’s stick… and still forced a penalty against Pittsburgh.
You can’t make this stuff up.
But that’s the thing about hockey: players know what they’re signing up for. Sometimes hitting the puck to the face is part of the game.
Unfortunately, the same thing is happening in the economy now.
Everyday Americans feel it every time they get to the pump. For many families, it’s starting to feel like throwing a pill in the face.
Over the past few weeks, Wall Street has been busy with headlines surrounding the conflict in the Middle East, rising oil prices, and renewed fears of inflation. The average price of gasoline recently rose above $4.50 per gallon – rapidly approaching the record highs seen in 2022. In many parts of the country, prices have already surpassed that level.
Frankly, I don’t expect much relief anytime soon unless geopolitical tensions subside significantly.
So, the big question is…what should we do in this environment?
This is what I want to talk about today Market 360.
Skate to where the puck is going
Wayne Gretzky didn’t become the greatest hockey player of all time by skating to where the puck was.
He skated to where the puck would be.
This is exactly how I think about investing.
While the world was focused on the chaos in the Middle East, something extraordinary was happening on the other end of the ice.
Recently, four of the so-called “Magnificent Seven” companies – Alphabet company (Google), Amazon.com Inc (Amzn), Meta Platforms Inc (dead) and Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) – released better than expected quarterly results.
But what really caught Wall Street’s attention was what these companies said about spending on AI.
Before those reports, analysts expected these four companies to spend about $670 billion on AI in 2026. After the reports, that estimate jumped to roughly $725 billion.
Spending is expected to accelerate further in the coming years.
The dial is moving fast, folks, and the next big AI winners probably won’t be the names everyone is already talking about.
Where to ski next…
As the AI revolution moves to the next stage, the opportunities aren’t just limited to the obvious names that everyone already knows.
The biggest gains will come from companies quietly solving the problems that make the entire boom possible – a game of picks and shovels that Wall Street has not yet fully discovered.
How do I know? Because we’ve already found big winners like this before, thanks Stock grader (Subscription required).
As you can see, Stock Grader scans a universe of about 6,000 stocks. It then ranks them based on a series of fundamental indicators – as well as institutional buying pressures.
This is what led me to the winners like Bloom Energy institution (He is) – which took me and my followers to achieve gains of about 1,100% in about 14 months.
When we found Bloom, it was a small $5 billion company. Hardly anyone knew about it.
So, if we want to find the next winners, Stock Grader can probably point us in the right direction.
Now she’s discovering something bigger than just building artificial intelligence.
Let me explain…
The biggest opportunity I’ve seen in decades
On May 15, a new era begins at the Federal Reserve.
And based on everything Stock Grader shows me, I think investors who took positions before the public figured out what that meant will look at this moment the way early Internet investors looked back at 1995.
Why 1995? If you remember, the Internet boom was already underway. But this is when the Fed began a major campaign of key interest rate cuts.
We all know what happened next. The tech-heavy Nasdaq is expected to rise 420% before the end of the dot-com era.
Now, think about where we are today. The similarities are there.
We have an AI boom already well underway. The new Federal Reserve System. The administration is publicly calling for a 150 basis point cut in interest rates.
It will take some time for these interest rate cuts to take effect. Inflation remains a factor, and the Fed is moving slower than anyone would like.
But interest rate cuts are coming, people. And when they do, it will be like pouring gasoline on a fire.
For this reason, Tomorrow afternoon at 1pm ETI will explain everything in 10X Fed shock event.
Not only will I tell you what I think the media is missing about the Fed’s new regime and its rate-cutting agenda, but I will also explain why I think a certain group of smaller, faster-moving stocks will lead the way higher.
In fact, some small-cap stocks are already starting to show the same early signals in Stock Grader that I’ve tracked before every big small-cap bull run in my career. That’s why I’ve also compiled a list of 53 stocks to tag as Stock Grader now.
I call it Exclusion list, You can access it for free by registering to attend tomorrow.
This list is how I intend to keep skating to where the puck is going.
If history is any guide, this list could be full of big winners in the future – so I encourage you to take full advantage.
Plus, if you join me tomorrow, I’ll also share my most convinced picks from that list and offer a free stock recommendation just for attendees.
