Agentic systems are the “next generation” of AI technologies that can make decisions by themselves and adapt to changes. But the most interesting agentic AI stories are not the ones unfolding in the headlines. They are in the operations of seemingly ordinary companies.

For nearly 50 years, 91���� has built his reputation around finding fundamentally strong growth stocks before Wall Street catches on. Few examples are bigger than Nvidia, which recently crossed the 5,000% mark for his long-term subscribers. He believes a new group of smaller companies may now be showing similar early signals.

There are still a handful of companies that look like Nvidia in late 2022 and SK Hynix in mid-2025. These firms produce crucial AI data center components, and are underpriced simply because Wall Street hasn’t yet realized what shortages are about to happen from AI data center demand.

Wall Street’s smartest, best-funded firms have all reached the same conclusion: the future of trading belongs to machines that can read patterns in market data that humans cannot. Until recently, that kind of edge was unreachable for anyone outside an elite hedge fund. Today, thanks to advances in AI, that’s changing.

Every investing edge begins the same way: with the ability to see what others miss. History is full of moments when the right insight was hiding in plain sight, buried in data no one yet knew how to interpret. The investors who recognize those shifts early are often the ones best positioned to benefit.

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.

Oil prices are not merely high, they are thrashing around wildly from day-to-day.

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.
