These insights will help you profit from one of this decadeâs most disruptive forces. [RiskHedge Report] 3 rules for investing in AI Editorâs note: In order to keep you on top of todayâs disruptive trends, starting today, youâll receive the RiskHedge Report with Stephen McBride on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings. Today, Stephen shares his top three rules for investing in the hottest trend on the planet right nowâAI. *** When the greatest trader of our generation makes a prediction, I listen. Steve Cohen amassed a $17.5 billion fortune by creating one of the most successful hedge funds of all time. He had enough spare cash lying around to buy The New York Mets! And Cohen said something interesting at a private conference in New York recently: âIâm making a prognosticationâweâre going up.â He warned investors not to miss the âbig waveâ of opportunities brought on by artificial intelligence (AI). - Today, Iâll show you how to invest in AI⦠[RiskHedge readers know all about ChatGPT.]( The chatbot attracted 100 million users within two months of launching. Itâs also ignited a stock market frenzy. AI chip leader Nvidia (NVDA) has tripled since January. [I first told readers to buy this stock five years ago.]( Palantir (PLTR), which uses AI to catch âbad guys,â surged 150%. ChatGPT runs on Microsoftâs (MSFT) cloud servers. That connection added $900 billion to Microsoftâs market cap this year. Today, Iâll walk you through my three rules for investing in AI. These crucial insights will help you profit from one of this decadeâs most disruptive forces. - Rule #1: Avoid AI ETFs. These days, thereâs an ETF for everything. Want to invest in space? Buy the Space ETF (UFO). Want to buy some âsinâ stocks? The Vice ETF (VICE) has you covered. Thereâs also a raft of AI ETFs. But I wouldnât touch these with a barge pole. Buying these ETFs is like buying âfakeâ luxury goods. The logo might say Louis Vuitton, but itâs not the real deal. These funds are packed full of companies saying theyâre working on AI. But the reality is AI only makes up a tiny sliver of their overall businesses. Itâs all AI-related or AI-adjacent. When you drill into their numbers to see how much money theyâre making from AI, itâs minuscule. Filter out the fakes. Avoid AI ETFs. - Rule #2: Nvidia isnât the only AI stock you should own. Nvidia has surged almost 600% since I first wrote about it in the RiskHedge Report. You may know Nvidia is singlehandedly powering the AI boom. With a 95% market share, the worldâs best supercomputers all run on its GPU chips. And itâs making mountains of cash from AI today. AI-related data center sales hit $4.3 billion last quarter. And Nvidia expects AI revenues to surge to $8.5 billion in the current quarter. For perspective, it raked in $7.2 billion total in the first three months of the year. In other words, Nvidiaâs AI arm will soon be larger than its whole business! When you look at the amount of cash companies generate from AI, Nvidia is in a league of its own. But itâs not the only AI stock you should buy. Investors are overlooking the âhiddenâ boom. Everyone is fixated on ChatGPT today. But theyâre missing the fact that many companies are using different types of AI to disrupt massive industries. Iâll give you one example: Health Catalyst (HCAT). Itâs a little-known company trying to solve healthcareâs âpaperwork problem.â A recent study found for every hour doctors see patients, they spend nearly two hours on paperwork. The ever-increasing administrative burden is a huge contributor to rising healthcare costs. Since 1970, the number of healthcare administrators has surged 35X faster than the number of doctors. Health Catalystâs platform collects and makes sense of trillions of pieces of healthcare data from hundreds of sources. Texas Childrenâs Hospital used its tech to reduce wait times for new patients⦠add 53,000 appointments annually⦠and boost annual revenue by $8.3 million. The entire AI boom runs on Nvidiaâs graphics chips. Itâs a must-own stock. You should also look for âhiddenâ AI winnersÂâlittle-known firms using AI to disrupt huge industries. - Rule #3: Embrace the AI bubble until⦠Wall Street powerhouse JPMorgan recently asked its clients: âAre AI stocks in a bubble?â Almost two-thirds of them answered, âYes.â Investors poured 3X more money into AI start-ups last month than they did in all of 2022. And get this⦠a four-week-old AI company in Europe just raised $100 million. It hasnât even built a product! If it walks like a bubble and talks like a bubble, itâs probably⦠a bubble. But that doesnât mean you should avoid AI stocks. I was recently talking with a friend who runs a hedge fund in London. We were discussing AI, and he said, âI love investing in bubbles. Itâs how you make big money, fast. Youâve just gotta know when to sell.â All bubbles have one thing in common: They shower investors with stock market profits on the way up. AI might be in a bubble, and that means you must own these stocks. As my friend said, âYouâve just gotta know when to sell.â The âIPO curseâ is a signal that will tell me when to run for the exits. Iâm waiting for a high-profile AI firm to go public. Iâm struck by how many times the leading company in a hot sector has gone public and marked âthe topâ⦠- The AOL Time Warner merger in 2000âstill the largest everâculminated in the dot-com bust. - The Blackstone (BX) IPO in 2007 coincided with the top for financial markets and preceded the Great Recession. - Glencoreâs (GLNCY) 2011 listing marked the peak in the commodity super-cycle. - Coinbaseâs (COIN) IPO looks like it marked a top for crypto, at the very least. Weâre at least a year away from a high-profile AI IPO. This tells me the AI trend has a long way to go before it maturesâand that stocks like Nvidia can keep climbing. Thereâs one more top signal on my watch list: Nvidia becoming the worldâs largest company. Itâs currently in sixth place, trailing Apple (AAPL) by $1.9 trillion. Nvidia claiming the crown as the worldâs largest company seems unlikely, but anything is possible as the AI boom heats up. Stephen McBride
