Today, I’d like to detail a perhaps unexpected winner of the AI Revolution. It’s a cyclical sector that investors often hate for its unpredictable returns – but that is performing remarkably well in today’s wild markets…

From running... to running AI infrastructure. Allbirds Inc. (BIRD) is leaving footwear and becoming an AI company. Let’s look at why “if you can’t beat them, join them” isn’t a safe strategy for surviving a dominant market trend. Then, I’ll share a different footwear company I’m looking at instead.

Let’s take a look back at what we covered here at Smart Money last week, including why perfection is often a sell signal, the bull case for the energy market, how we’re playing AI differently, and two different ways of looking at the same market.

If the market feels different lately, it is. AI is accelerating change – and making once-dominant companies obsolete faster than ever. From BlackBerry to Zoom, history shows that when a company fully “solves” yesterday’s problem, it’s often about to be replaced by something better. And perfection is often a sell signal.

The prognosis for global oil and gas markets remains deeply unsettled, and investors who panic out of their energy positions may find themselves on the wrong side of one of the most consequential structural shifts in the history of global energy markets. I’ll share why the recent ceasefire-driven selloff is hiding bigger supply problems that will likely keep oil and U.S. natural gas prices higher for longer… and why that means the energy bull market isn’t over.

Louis and I don’t always see eye to eye, especially when it comes to a stock like Nvidia. But that’s what makes our conversation so valuable. You get two different ways of looking at the same market.

Oil prices are not merely high, they are thrashing around wildly from day-to-day. But even though oil is grabbing most of the headlines, it is not the only commodity under the thumb of the Iran conflict.

It’s an investing approach you won’t regret.

Micron’s memory technology is used, among other places, in artificial intelligence, data centers, computing, autos, and mobile devices. Today, the company is rallying as demand for its memory chips soars. The memory-chip shortage shows no signs of easing, with the tech industry’s top players spending record sums to stay competitive in the AI race. That means memory companies could be among the next wave of AI stock winners.

There’s a fundamental change in compute needs thanks to the rise of agentic AI. Because AI agents are task-oriented, CPUs are the ideal fit for running them, as they have fewer powerful cores than GPUs when running consecutive general-purpose tasks. And Nvidia is once again ready to profit from this shift.

In the 1990s, the explosion of internet infrastructure, personal computers, and networking hardware meant the world suddenly needed far more metals than usual. The result was a classic supply bottleneck. From 1998 to 2001, I recommended four mining stocks to my readers that went on to generate remarkable gains. And this same bottleneck is happening again.
