v2.40 - The AI Stocks You Don’t Know You Own
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Look inside a typical index fund or dividend portfolio and you’ll find companies like Caterpillar, Cummins, and Ford – steady industrial names many investors count on for stability when tech stocks swing big. But recently, many of these “boring” companies are booming...with much of the new demand coming from the very sector investors use them to hedge against.
Dustin and Adam walk through a Wall Street Journal report on old-line manufacturers pulled into the AI build-out, like Eaton and even Ford, which is redirecting its EV battery capacity to building backup batteries for data centers.
They also get into what happens to new factory capacity if data center demand fades, what the dot-com era’s fiber-optic overbuild suggests about today, how apartments and oil and gas fare whichever way AI goes, and whether AI is a bubble at all.
