I'm talking about critical minerals and metals.  We've been saying it for a while now, but these elements that are seemingly dull compared to the flashy AI tech, are actually the foundation blocks for not just AI, but for a whole host of our favorite technologies.  Think electric vehicles, quantum computing, augmented reality - the whole shebang!  You might be tired of me harping about it, so today I'll pass the mic to the International Energy Agency (IEA) and its recently released Critical Minerals Market Review 2023.  Spoiler alert: it's singing from the same hymn sheet!  Here's a tiny taste of what the report says: clean energy technologies like solar PV and batteries are sparking a growth bonanza in critical minerals markets.  Electric car sales zoomed up by 60% in 2022, crossing the 10 million units mark. The energy storage sector sprinted ahead even faster, doubling its capacity in 2022.  This surge in the adoption of clean energy technologies has resulted in an enormous spike in demand for critical minerals.  Between 2017 and 2022, demand for lithium tripled, cobalt demand leaped up by 70%, and nickel demand experienced a 40% rise, primarily driven by the energy sector.  What used to be a bit player in the mining and metals industry - energy transition minerals - is now stealing the limelight. The report is a treasure trove of stats emphasizing growth demand, sector investment, exploration, and venture capital allocations.  However, the main takeaway remains - add critical minerals and metals to your portfolio.  Now, how does one actually go about investing in these elements?  Lithium appears to be a hot ticket, given the recent surge in demand. We suggested Albemarle (ALB) in the Digest back in April, a top-tier lithium miner and refiner.  If you grabbed that bull by the horns, hats off, you're up by 40%!  Although that's a solid gain in a short time, we believe the party isn't over yet. Demand for lithium is skyrocketing and will continue to soar this decade.  Sure, it might resemble a yo-yo on its way up, but remember the only direction that matters is up.  The Global X Lithium ETF, LIT, is another potential option. Its largest holding is Albemarle, but it also has a stake in Quimica, a major Chilean lithium company. But LIT does come with a couple of caveats.  One, Chile's President Gabriel Boric has hinted at nationalizing the country's lithium operations which may affect Quimica.  Two, the ETF has stakes in "lithium adjacent" companies like Tesla, Rivian, Panasonic, and Samsung, which may not offer pure lithium exposure.  Then there's copper, another precious metal for future technologies. For example, Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) fetched Eric's Speculator subscribers a whopping 1,400% gain in 2021.  If you're an ETF fan, COPX, the Global X Copper Miners ETF, is worth considering. It holds FCX along with mining biggies like BHP, Glencore, and Teck Resources.  And if you're eyeing rare earth minerals, REMX, the VanEck Rare-Earth/Strategic Metals ETF, is the easiest route.  Whether you're a buy-and-hold investor or a short-term trader, the critical minerals and metals sector is increasingly bullish.  So don't miss out on the action. And if trading isn't your jam, remember, the critical minerals and metals story is a decade-long growth tale.  So give it some room in your portfolio. You won't regret it.  Keep on keeping up!  John @ Traders on Trend  (In the next article: AI starting to lose love? Really?

The Melody of Q2 Banking Results  ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, seems to have finally stirred a hornet's nest.  Once applauded for its remarkably enhanced conversational skills, ChatGPT is now under the Federal Trade Commission's microscope. Ah, the pitfalls of fame, right?  Late last week, the FTC sent a rather lengthy 20-page letter to OpenAI, kick-starting an investigation into potential consumer harm caused by ChatGPT.  Data collection and dissemination of false information are the primary suspects here. Yes, that's right, the federal watchdog is scrutinizing our digital chatterbox.  You know what's a bit ironic?  Microsoft Corp. – one of the biggest contributors to OpenAI's funding – probably never imagined a plot twist of this sort.  Tim Giordano, a partner at the Clarkson Law Firm, believes that people have started raising eyebrows at AI's excessive interference in their lives.  His firm has already filed class-action suits against OpenAI and Google's parent company, Alphabet Inc., accusing them of copyright infringement and personal information theft.  According to the legal minds involved, AI's education relies heavily on personal and conversational data, and it seems like people aren't too thrilled about playing the involuntary role of a teacher.  (article continues below) Sponsored [Build Wealth 10x Faster By Doing This]( As you know, the stock market has been volatile lately, and there's a lot of uncertainty in the air. But we want to assure you that this is not the time to panic.

Isn't that like choosing between Scylla and Charybdis?  It's funny how these AI bigwigs forget that our livelihoods and social lives are intertwined with the internet.  But wait, there's more! The Joseph Saveri Law Firm recently filed two class-action suits, one against OpenAI and the other against Meta Platforms Inc.  Sarah Silverman, the popular comedian, is among the plaintiffs who allege that their copyrighted works have been unlawfully used to train AI models.  It appears that Lena Khan's FTC could really use a victory. This AI drama could provide just the right opportunity, considering the recent setbacks in their high-profile cases against tech titans.  Currently, with regulatory oversight in the AI realm being somewhat scarce and Congress seemingly unable to match pace with technology's breakneck speed, lawsuits seem to be the best way to enforce consumer data privacy.  Everyone's left wondering if these class-action lawsuits against Alphabet and Meta could trigger more FTC investigations.  And why not? The FTC could surely use a big win.  Of course, the AI output can't be copyrighted, but it's still uncertain whether the act of lifting copyrighted content from the internet for AI training falls under fair use or not.  Is it like reading hundreds of books to create your own masterpiece? That's a tricky one.  And here's the cherry on top: Distinguishing AI work from human effort can be a real puzzle.  How about a blog post with some paragraphs written by a human and some by AI?
