Who would've thought, eh? Now, here's the tricky part. With all the buzz around AI, investors are left scratching their heads, wondering which companies to put their money on. Let me tell you, this AI hype is like a wild party – everyone's invited, but no one knows who the host is. Some folks are putting their money on companies they hadn't even heard of before they had their morning coffee. Why? Because it has "AI" in its name. I mean, come on! Let's say you have a cool thousand dollars burning a hole in your pocket. You're all fired up to jump on the AI investment train. Do you put your hard-earned cash on some fancy-sounding company that just popped up on your radar, or do you go with a company that has been around since the dinosaurs, well not really, but you get the point, and has a fan base that could populate a small country? Think about it. Would you put your money on a horse that's never run a race or on a proven thoroughbred? Now, don't get me wrong. I love a good underdog story as much as the next person, but when it comes to my money, I'm all for the tried and true. Let's look at the big players - Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) and Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN). These guys have the resources, the track records, and the brains to make AI do backflips. Yet, they're being overlooked for the new kids on the block like BigBear.ai Holdings Inc. (BBAI) and SoundHound AI Inc. (SOUN). Now, let's get real here. Investing in these newbies could be like buying a lottery ticket - you could hit the jackpot or end up with a worthless piece of paper. And trust me, I've bought my fair share of worthless lottery tickets. Take a look at BBAI and SOUN. Their stock value has taken a nosedive faster than a lead balloon. Now, compare that to the performance of MSFT and AMZN. They may not be the shiny new toys in the AI sandbox, but they're making money, and let's face it, making money is never boring. Now, if we're talking about making money with AI, I'd put my money on Microsoft. Their new Microsoft 365 Copilot is like having a personal assistant who never takes a coffee break. It can help you with Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and more. Plus, their Azure OpenAI Service is helping companies integrate AI into their applications. It's like having a little AI genie in a bottle. On the flip side, Amazon's recent foray into AI with Amazon Bedrock seems to be hitting a few speed bumps. It's meant to help companies build AI-powered apps, but it's not getting the traction they hoped for. So if I were you, I'd put my money on the old reliable, Microsoft. They've proven time and time again that they're not just a one-trick pony. They're constantly innovating and adapting. And in the world of AI, that's worth its weight in gold. Remember, investing is not a sprint, it's a marathon. It's not about the latest fad or the newest kid on the block. It's about making informed decisions and betting on companies that have a proven track record of innovation and success. It's about understanding that the world of AI is not some magical land where dreams come true overnight. It's a competitive landscape where the biggest, brightest, and best-equipped players usually come out on top. Let's face it, when it comes to AI, we're all a bit like kids in a candy store. The possibilities seem endless and the potential for profit can make even the most conservative investor a little giddy. But let's not let our enthusiasm cloud our judgment. Sure, it's tempting to throw caution to the wind and put all your chips on the latest and greatest AI start-up. It's exciting, it's daring, it's... well, it's a gamble. And while there's certainly a place for risk-taking in the investment world, let's not forget the importance of a balanced and well-considered approach. Look, I understand the allure of the unknown, the thrill of discovery, the dream of finding that hidden gem that turns into a gold mine. But let's be honest, for every success story, there are countless tales of disappointment and loss. You know what they say, "All that glitters is not gold." So, my advice?  Stick with the ones who've been around the block a few times. Companies like Microsoft have the experience, the resources, and the resilience to navigate the turbulent waters of the AI market. They may not have the allure of the unknown, but they offer something far more valuable: reliability. And remember folks, investing isn't just about making a quick buck. It's about making smart, informed decisions that will lead to long-term growth and success. So, next time you find yourself being swept up in the AI hype storm, take a step back, take a deep breath, and remember: slow and steady wins the race. Cheers, and may the odds be ever in your favor!  John @ Traders on Trend  (In the next article: Now, what's in store for the markets, still hanging high at the clouds? Find out below! 👇) Sponsored [A 100% Win Rate In 2022… Over The Past 6 Years...]( The next 10 minutes could change your life. We’ve recorded a special sit-down interview with a reclusive millionaire who details how he’s closed out winning trade after winning trade throughout the volatility of 2022.

Now, it's hard to ignore that the 'FAANG' stocks - Facebook's metamorphosis into Meta Platforms Inc., and the silicon titan NVIDIA Corp., for example - have been flexing like bodybuilders at a competition, carrying the stock market on their broad, digital shoulders. Meta has rocketed a whopping 100% this year and Nvidia is nipping at its heels with a 98% surge. Because of these tech giants, the Nasdaq Composite COMP is flirting with a 20% rise from its low in Q4 2022. It's like a shy teenager at a school dance, just inches away from asking the market out. And even though the S&P 500 has risen nearly 9% since the start of the year, the tech giants are making it look like it's running in slow motion. Now, not everyone is doing a happy dance about this. Many Wall Street pundits are wringing their hands over the market’s rebound rally being carried by a few muscular athletes rather than a diverse team. But despite some sour grapes, these stocks continue to power ahead like a steam train.  (article continues below) Sponsored [Top Picks For The Digital Currency Revival Of 2023]( The press declares the Digital Currency Slump is behind us, and the resurgence is underway.

He's so confident he even sees the S&P 500 finishing 2023 at the 4,750 level, a solid 14% gain from where we are now. However, others like the folks at JPMorgan Chase & Co., are advising investors to maybe chill a bit on their stock exposure. Paul Nolte, a senior wealth manager and market strategist at Murphy & Sylvest Wealth Management, sees the stock market as a bit of a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde situation. On one side, it's all sunshine and rainbows with tech and the biggest companies doing extremely well, but on the other side, manufacturing and banking stocks are more like Eeyore on a cloudy day. The largest companies are up over 20% this year, while the smallest ones are just kind of meh. The Cboe Volatility Index, or the Vix, is Wall Street’s favorite 'fear gauge,' and it's currently showing a serene market. But, remember, calm seas never made a skilled sailor, and some worry that such low volatility amidst so many risk factors means investors are getting a bit too chill, potentially setting up the market for a volatility "jump scare" moment. Now, here's an interesting twist. Some folks believe that the U.S. dollar, which has been acting like a sulky teenager since the start of 2023, has actually been a key player in the stock market's winning streak.  If the dollar rebounds or continues its downward spiral, it could play a big role in determining the fate of the 2023 rebound rally. And of course, let's not forget about corporate earnings. They've been pushing U.S. stocks to just shy of their highest levels of the year, with corporate earnings having been the wind beneath the wings of U.S. stocks. More than half of S&P 500 companies have reported for the quarter ended in March, and it looks like 78.3% of them have outperformed Wall Street’s expectations.  Now, that's a hefty figure that beats the pants off the average of 66% since 1994. So, it's like the stock market is serving us a mixed salad here. On one hand, the S&P 500 is just chilling around its opening level, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq Composite showing just a hint of red. But on the other hand, we have these robust tech stocks and impressive corporate earnings that are making the market look like it's on a power-walk. But let's remember that the stock market is a bit like a rollercoaster ride. It's thrilling, occasionally terrifying, and at the end of the day, it can leave us a bit dizzy. So, buckle up, keep your hands inside the vehicle at all times, and enjoy the ride. I'd say the U.S. stock market is a bit like my last attempt at baking a soufflé - it's rising against all odds, but one wrong move could lead to a rather flat outcome. Here's hoping the market proves to be a better chef than me, and we continue to see it rise in 2023.  Disclaimer:  The material in this document is for informational purposes based on our proprietary research.
