Past bets that played out

Notable calls emphasize AI and semiconductor leaders (NVDA, AMD, MU, TSMC/ASML risks) plus speculative opportunities in optical networking and quantum computing. Several videos promote buy-the-dip opportunities following market shocks but often lack concrete entry/exit points or formal risk-management plans.

SNDKrightbacktest PROMOTE

Promotional AI-investing video sponsored by Versamet Royalties (VMET). The post argues that major AI winners like Nvidia (NVDA) and Palantir (PLTR), plus bottleneck-solvers like Sandisk (SNDK) and Micron (MU), benefited from generative-AI growth, and teases three smaller unnamed optical-networking stocks that could potentially 10x by 2030. The actual target optical-networking tickers are not included in the provided text, so actionable extraction is limited.

QBTSrightbacktest PROMOTE

Promotional/YouTube-style stock-picking entry arguing that quantum computing could be a much larger opportunity than well-known winners like NVIDIA and Apple, and highlighting three smaller public quantum-computing names—IonQ, Rigetti Computing, and D-Wave Quantum—as speculative candidates that could potentially 10x by 2030. The text does not provide a concrete near-term catalyst, financial data, or the stated final pick from the video description.

What this channel is watching now

Primary focus: NVDA (most-mentioned and highest conviction), AMD, PLTR, TSM, MU, GOOGL/GOOG, and selective smaller-cap AI/compute plays such as SMCI. Also tracking non-public AI entrants (referenced as OPENAI/SpaceX in thematic discussion).

Latest videos and market context

Recent content ranges from promotional buy-the-dip pieces to broad growth roundups. Examples: “Dips Never Last. I'm Buying These 5 Stocks Now.” (discusses NVDA, AMD, MU; references ASML/TSMC; lacks concrete valuation or risk controls) and several headline-driven videos with minimal supporting detail.

Dips Never Last. I'm Buying These 5 Stocks Now.

Jul 21, 2026, 4:41 PM EDT

Promotional video text arguing a recent “market shock” created buy-the-dip opportunities in AI/semiconductor names. Mentions NVDA, AMD, MU explicitly and references ASML and TSMC (risks & rewards). Also links to PLTR valuation but not clearly included in the “5 stocks” list. No concrete catalyst, valuation, entry/exit, or risk management provided.

Investing in innovation starts with understanding it. My name is Alex. Before becoming a full-time investor, I spent 8 years as a rocket scientist at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. I hold a BE in Electrical Engineering, an ME in Systems Engineering & Optimization, and an unfinished PhD in Image Processing & Computer Vision. Now, I use my engineering background to research AI, semiconductors, and other advanced technologies, invest in them, and cover it all on this channel.
