We've entered a new age of investing... New to the Digest? [Click here.]( [Manward Digest] We've Entered a New Age of Investing [Alex Moschina] Alex Moschina Publisher Remember the olden days of investing? When you could gauge a stock's strength by digging through earnings reports... financial statements… you know, fundamentals. Then high-frequency trading - or HFT - overtook the markets. All of a sudden, chart patterns and technicals seemed like the only way to get ahead. "In order to beat the machines, we must think like the machines" was the common refrain among traders and CMTs peddling expensive online courses. Now it appears we've entered a new age... The Age of Narrative. [[Two-Time Hedge Fund Manager Is Sharing His "Singularity Investor Playbook" for You to Position Yourself at the Forefront of AI's Historic Moment. Take These Steps ASAP.]( According to Shah, narrative is the true driving force behind Nvidia (NVDA)'s near-300% run over the past year. It's a topic he dove into [here]( on Monday. And, fittingly, we closed the week with Shah's thoughts on what has frequently been Big Tech's other darling... Apple (AAPL). If you compare the performance of these two stocks so far in 2024, the difference is striking. Apple, arguably the most innovative, culture-shifting company of the past century, has drifted steadily lower. Meanwhile, Nvidia shares have only continued their relentless ascent toward the stars (save for a few recent dips). [Nvidia vs Apple]( [View larger image]( Whereas Nvidia has been benefiting from the explosive growth of AI... Apple has done very little (at least up to this point) to capitalize on the technology. What the iPhone maker does next will be crucial to its fate over the coming months. "Apple's only hope," says Shah, "is a fast-track addition of a host of fabulous new AI functionality in the iPhone 16." Will it happen? Maybe. But the company has a history of waiting - and watching - as others integrate new tech like AI... then bounding in with its disruptive take.

Rather, it's a [little-known alternative investment]( that could hand you big monthly income from oil and gas. [Find Out What It Is Right Here]( The iPod wasn't the first portable mp3 player. And the iPhone wasn't the first touchscreen phone. And yet, when Apple launched those products, they quickly became must-have items. At the height of the iPod's success, Apple was selling nearly 60 million of the devices annually. Clearly Apple knows how to leverage a burgeoning technology and format it in a way that makes it irresistible to consumers. We can take the Apple Watch as another great example. At the time of launch, many analysts scoffed at the idea of, essentially, strapping a smartphone to one's wrist. And yet, today, the Apple Watch is the most popular watch sold around the world. So, the question isn't will Apple incorporate AI into its devices... It's when... and, just as importantly, how? Until then, as Shah suggested in [Friday's Total Wealth here]( would-be Apple investors may want to wait on the sidelines. Of course, there's far more to the markets than the goings-on of two megacap tech stocks. In the pieces linked below, we have coverage of [five ETFs that are making moves](...
