[Gilder Guideposts] [Technology Report]( [Tech Report PRO]( [Moonshots]( [Private Reserve]( Guideposts: ARK Investments Cathie Wood Agrees to Speak at COSM! by George Gilder and Richard Vigilante 09/13/2023 SPONSORED CONTENT [This new A.I. tech is a retirement game changer]( A brand-new A.I. algorithm recently came onto the scene that can predict stock prices one month into the future with astonishing accuracy. Imagine if you had this kind of predictive power. It could be a complete retirement game changer. You can now get the full story and to see what this algorithm is saying the price of AAPL, NVDA, TSLA will be one month from now. [Click Here]( Last week, we introduced you to the tirelessly savvy Peter Zeihan’s prophesies of five key technologies that will transform our economy over the next decade. The technologies feature: artificial intelligence, satellites, bio-genetic tailored drugs, shale industry biproducts, and GMO seed based on AI agricultural advances that will radically improve what he calls the “fruit-to-stalk” ratio of plants. Zeihan, himself, is a leading intellectual explorer of our global predicament, with an often superb “fruit-to-stalk ratio” himself. But he will not be at our COSM conference this year, Nov. 1-3, in Bellevue, Washington. ([www.COSM.tech](). To sign up, [click here](. Hey, we can’t get everyone! Joining us, however, in person, will be Cathie Wood, who boasts a fruit-to-stalk ratio even higher than Peter Zeihan’s, which is saying something. Cathie is my favorite technology projector. Not only does she imagine the future and invest in it, she projects it. Her technique is to educate the world to our technological potential and then provide the resources, not just to exploit existing trends, to launch new trends over time. She is out of fashion at the moment because her ARK Invest fund was down sharply last year with the tech slump after riding Tesla, ZOOM, Coinbase and other innovators to huge gains the year before. But her horizon transcends mere trading to capture the epochal changes of technology. [Have You Seen This $11 Trillion 'Tech Strip?']( While many folks today are wondering what to do with their money… a revolutionary “sheet” of new technology has quietly sparked an $11 trillion tech revolution. Investors who get in FIRST have a rare chance to position themselves in front of a tsunami of profits. [Click here to see how anyone can profit fast.]( All major investors omit the most promising breakthrough of all: the revolution in materials science led by graphene. Graphene is a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon atoms 300 times stronger per kilogram than aluminum. That’s a surprise. Much of the investment world is betting on more dimensions. From 3D transistor structures to 3D printing, from the metaverse of many dimensional virtuality to the universe of 11 dimensions, the rule seems to be the more dimensions, the better. But the major breakthrough of this era turns out to strip down from three dimensional materials to two dimensions. Two dimensions turn out to offer extraordinary properties lost in 3D complexities. Compared to ordinary 3D materials, 2D graphene is both radically thinner and hundreds-fold stronger, stiffer and more flexible, more impermeable and thousands of times more conductive of both electricity and heat. We have been telling you of an “aluminum moment” when 2D graphene will soon be manufactured in volume for the cost of the electricity used in Rice University chemist James Tour’s flash joule heating process. Cathie Wood tells me her staff is exploring possible investments in graphene, but they have not acted so far. Cathie shuns short-term trading, index-investing, risk-based diversity, “value investing,” benchmark investing, and other forms of shuffling old knowledge. All subsist on passive, backward-looking pattern matching. She points out that the core holdings of index funds—big banks, auto companies, pharma, railroads and energy—are all facing deep crises. While big funds push their time horizons toward the microseconds, she extends her time horizons to five years. She pursues surprising new patterns. Her five disruptive innovations are AI integrated with Tesla vehicles (Tesla as a computer platform rather than a mere automobile), blockchain epitomized by bitcoin as a remedy for government-manipulated monies, AI robotics advancing through all industries, and genomics led by CRISPR gene editing through “clustered regularly interspersed, palindromic repeats.” This enables both reading DNA and correcting errors (diseases). So, take your choice, Zeihan’s agricultural AI, Wood’s Tesla full-service driving AI, Zeihan’s big biotech, or Wood’s CRISPR gene editing. Most investors guide their outlays by rear-view mirror statistics.That’s a method that cannot differentiate signal from noise, randomness from real information. Real economic signals are measurable by their quotient of surprise—degree of unexpectedness. Surprisal, as information theorist Claude Shannon showed, is the essence of information. But the surprisal in a random series is statistically indistinguishable from the surprisal in a series of creative inventions. [Join George Gilder at the Orlando MoneyShow on October 29-31, 2023]( Join financial expert George Gilder live at the [Orlando MoneyShow]( from October 29-31, 2023. Gilder will have two discussions on “The Age of Carbon, the Coming Transformation of Human Life, and the Biggest Investment Opportunity of our Lifetimes” and “You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet! Why the Future of Semiconductor Investment Will Make the Past Look Like a Slow-Motion Movie”. [Click here now to reserve your spot!]( In order to find the real opportunities, you have to have specific information rather than statistical patterns. Most investment these days is based on deterministic statistical data from the past. It is waste-producing rather than wealth creating, noise-making rather than signal amplifying. Computers trading faster than the real events they follow may be able to harvest incremental shifts and accumulate them into significant profits. But these returns to fast trading have nothing to do with real investment. Real investment does not merely reflect existing events, it shapes the future. That’s why we find Cathie Wood the most intriguing high-entropy investor of our era. [Come to COSM]( and see her. She will not be shy about her views. P.S. You’ve got to come to COSM 2023, Nov. 1-3 in Bellevue, Washington. COSM 2022 and 2021 were probably the best tech gatherings we’ve ever been to, and the 2023 version is not to be missed. COSM is the ultimate expression of George’s worldview, the Gilder Team’s insights into what is happening in tech, how it matters to the world and especially to our readers and tech investors.
