A skeptic asks Stephen a painfully blunt question

What makes you so smart? [Welcome to RiskHedge] Dear Reader, I got this rather blunt question from a reader about the Trillion Dollar A.I. Investment Portfolio online event. "Stephen, there are a number of best AI stocks to buy recommendations by 'experts.' How do your recommendations carry more weight?" That's fair. There's a lot of noise out there in the financial guidance space. And the stock market is nothing if not an endless parade of hot, hyped-up ideas... that usually disappoint. In fact, I used to be a certified AI skeptic. I even wrote an article calling AI a fraud in 2020. Not because I didn't believe in the premise or long-term value of AI. But simply because AI was hyped up to the moon at the time. And yet, Nvidia was the ONLY company making meaningful amounts of money from it. And remember, this was coming from the guy who recommended Nvidia all the way back in 2018. Way before the AI mania. When I wrote an essay featured in Forbes titled, "If I could only buy one stock for the next 5 years, it would be Nvidia." Thankfully, that worked out pretty well. My whole argument against the AI hype machine back then was: "Wake me up when AI is truly making a real-world impact and is making investors money." [I can now confirm… that time is now]( As crazy as it sounds, I actually think AI is under-hyped. AI is no longer some far-off tech that may change the world in five years. It's happening right now. The parallels to the iPhone give me goosebumps. The iPhone launched in 2007, and it directly led to the success of dozens of companies like Uber (UBER), Instagram, Facebook (META), and of course, Apple (AAPL). Further, it indirectly unleashed many of the greatest companies everyone wishes they bought 10 years ago like Netflix (NFLX), Google (GOOG), and Amazon (AMZN). But disruption cuts both ways. For every Uber that returned 1,000x to early investors… there's a decimated taxi industry that put people out of business. For every investor who made 10,000% on Netflix… there's an abandoned Blockbuster store blighting a strip mall. For every Apple… there's a Blackberry. Listen, AI will create lots of incredible investing opportunities. But with great opportunity comes great danger. Several big tech companies are in the cross hairs… For reasons I'll touch on during my [online AI event](. I see a new kind of wealth gap forming. Every emerging technology creates a new class of winners and losers. So, here's my AI thesis in a nutshell: AI will generate life-changing wealth. But for who? My job is to make sure the answer is "you and me." That's what the Trillion Dollar A.I. Portfolio event is all about. But the clock is ticking… Early bird pricing ends in less than 48 hours.

I've been researching artificial technology companies since 2017. In fact, that's what led me to make my Nvidia call back in 2018. To me, this isn't a fad. This is the future. And thanks to my deep immersion and connections in the AI world, [I've pinpointed 5 little-known AI stocks you should add to your portfolio right now](… before they move onto the mainstream radar.
