My Top Stocks for 2024
0:00
the new year is starting so you're
0:01
probably seeing a lot of videos on the
0:03
top stocks for 2024 but they're mostly
0:06
filled with random companies or
0:08
cherry-picked Price charts this video is
0:10
a little different every stock on my
0:12
list works together so that I'm holding
0:14
all the winners in a few huge markets
0:16
that are growing fast thanks to AI which
0:18
is the best way to get rich without
0:21
getting lucky your time is valuable so
0:23
let's get right into it first things
0:25
first I'm not here to keep you hostage
0:27
here's the full list of stocks that I'll
0:28
be covering and there are times stamp so
0:30
that you can jump to different sections
0:32
but let me quickly point out a few
0:33
things before you do I'm not a financial
0:36
adviser my background is an electrical
0:38
engineering and data science and I have
0:40
about 10 years of Industry experience
0:42
using AI to solve real world problems
0:45
that's why every stock on this list
0:46
involves Ai and I'm sharing my research
0:49
for educational purposes only this isn't
0:51
supposed to be the ultimate stock list
0:53
it's more of a solid foundation for my
0:55
portfolio in 2024 and Beyond if I want
0:58
to buy more great companies like met
1:00
platforms or Tesla stock down the road I
1:02
will and I'll explain why I didn't put
1:04
them on the list in a minute also I only
1:06
buy stocks when they drop below my price
1:08
targets research tells me what to buy
1:10
but price targets tell me when so if you
1:13
want to see those I'll leave a survey
1:14
Link in the description below for you it
1:16
only takes about 20 seconds and your
1:18
responses help me understand how to add
1:20
the most value and finally there's a lot
1:23
of ground to cover so I'll keep
1:25
everything at a pretty high level my
1:26
entire Channel focuses on the science
1:28
behind the stocks so if there's a
1:30
specific company that interests you you
1:32
can probably find a video where I cover
1:34
it in more detail with all that out of
1:36
the way let's dive into the list in my
Why QQQ is the Best Fund for 2024
1:39
opinion the foundation of every good
1:41
long-term portfolio starts with a fund
1:43
the advice that I always hear is to put
1:45
a little money in the market every month
1:48
which usually means the S&P 500 the S&P
1:51
500 Index is a basket of stocks from the
1:53
500 biggest public companies in the
1:56
United States and the bigger the company
1:58
the more of the basket that stock takes
2:00
up but 500 companies is a lot so the S&P
2:03
grows slow and steady even when the
2:05
biggest companies are ripping for
2:07
example the top five companies in the
2:09
index are Apple Microsoft Amazon Nvidia
2:12
and Google all five of these companies
2:14
went up by more than 50% this past year
2:17
and Nvidia actually went up by almost
2:20
250% but the S&P went up by just
2:23
25% on the other hand the NASDAQ 100
2:26
index went up by 55% the NASDAQ has
2:30
three big advantages over the S&P in my
2:32
opinion first it tracks 100 companies
2:35
instead of 500 100 is still a lot of
2:38
diversification but not so much that the
2:40
index can't make big moves second it
2:42
doesn't hold companies from the
2:43
financial sector like commercial or
2:45
investment Banks as a result it holds
2:48
more Tech focused companies that can
2:50
benefit from this massive AI boom and
2:52
third the NASDAQ 100 can hold non- us
2:55
companies like asml a company that's
2:57
based in the Netherlands that makes the
2:59
massive machines that chip makers like
3:01
Intel Samsung and tsmc buy to make the
3:04
most advanced chips on the planet those
3:06
are just some of the reasons that the
3:07
NASDAQ 100 almost doubled the gains of
3:09
the S&P 500 over the last 5 years and
3:13
why that performance Gap could get even
3:14
bigger as AI keeps stacking advantages
3:17
for its early adopters the trade-off for
3:19
this performance is more volatility but
3:21
even that's a good thing for long-term
3:23
investors since higher highs mean better
3:25
returns and lower lows mean bigger
3:28
discounts on the best run compan
3:29
companes on the planet companies like
3:31
apple Microsoft Amazon broadcom meta
3:35
platforms Tesla Nvidia and Google which
3:38
together account for over 40% of the
3:40
NASDAQ 100 by weight that's why I didn't
3:43
include meta platforms or Tesla on my
3:45
list they're already near the top of
3:47
this fund instead I'm adding even more
Top Stocks for Cloud Services
3:50
Microsoft Google and Amazon because they
3:52
own a whopping 65% of the global cloud
3:55
services Market combined this is what I
3:58
mean about owning all the winners in a
4:00
given Market no matter who wins I win no
4:03
luck needed and all three of these
4:05
companies are investing billions of
4:07
dollars to build the infrastructure for
4:09
the world's Advanced AI workloads as
4:11
well but there's another kind of
4:12
infrastructure investment that you
4:14
should know about you can invest in
4:16
solar projects to help small businesses
4:18
and entire communities across the US
4:20
reduce their Reliance on the grid and
4:22
potentially earn up to 10% per year with
4:25
climatized the sponsor of this video
4:27
here's how it works every month
4:29
climatize uses their extensive network
4:31
of solar installers and developers to
4:33
find solar projects looking to raise
4:35
Capital then they diligence those
4:37
projects and the very best ones are
4:39
onboarded onto their platform and open
4:41
to investment for example lightup Rural
4:43
America is focused on giving communities
4:45
in North Carolina and Tennessee access
4:48
to more reliable power they're
4:49
leveraging the inflation reduction act
4:51
on multiple solar and energy storage
4:53
installs and they're looking to raise
4:56
$310,000 this offering has a 2-year term
4:58
with a 10 % expected annual rate of
5:01
return and investors have already
5:03
committed more than half the goal for
5:04
this project and best of all the minimum
5:07
investment on climatized is just $10 and
5:09
there are no investor fees so if you
5:12
want to invest in solar projects across
5:13
the US and earn up to 10% annually head
5:16
over to climatize doar slts yoou or
5:20
click my link in the description below
5:22
and use my code TS y you1 to invest your
5:25
first $5 on them what a cool opportunity
5:28
so Microsoft Google and Amazon own a
5:31
combined 2third of the global market for
5:33
cloud services and millions of
5:35
businesses pay them each year to do
5:36
things like store and secure their
5:38
company's data host mobile and web
5:40
applications use their Computing
5:42
clusters and access a wide variety of AI
5:44
and machine learning tools here's why I
5:47
think these cloud service providers
5:48
won't get disrupted anytime soon except
5:51
maybe by each other first it would cost
5:53
a business way more to build even a tiny
5:55
fraction of these services for
5:57
themselves instead of just using a cloud
5:59
CL service provider and second these
6:01
Services run on top of massive Global
6:04
networks of data centers and that
6:06
Hardware infrastructure is also
6:07
incredibly expensive to research develop
6:10
deploy maintain and upgrade over time a
6:14
recent study showed that Amazon has
6:15
spent over $100 billion on AWS from when
6:19
it was launched to the end of 2021
6:21
around half of which was spent in Just 2
6:24
years let me put it like this if Amazon
6:26
web services was its own country today
6:28
it would have around the 50th biggest
6:30
National budget in the world that's not
6:33
so easy to compete with is it and that's
6:35
just AWS Microsoft and Google are
6:38
spending billions on Azure and Google
6:40
Cloud as well and who are they spending
6:42
that money with well the next two
Top Stocks for Generative AI Chips
6:44
companies on the list are Nvidia and AMD
6:47
which dominate the market for data
6:49
center gpus also called accelerators
6:52
gpus are currently the main kind of
6:54
processor for AI applications like chat
6:56
GPT Nvidia currently has a massive 92%
7:00
market share for Data Center gpus and
7:02
AMD is their only direct competition
7:05
with around 4% of the market the reason
7:08
I spend so much time researching Nvidia
7:10
is to understand how long they can
7:11
defend this massive lead the Enterprise
7:14
accelerator Market is expected to have a
7:17
24% compound annual growth rate for
7:19
almost the next decade so even if AMD
7:22
never catches Nvidia they're the only
7:24
other possible winner and they should at
7:26
least grow as the market does now is
7:28
also probably a good time to explain the
7:30
green and blue checks on my table green
7:32
means that a company is a market leader
7:34
Microsoft Google and Amazon dominate
7:37
cloud services and data centers so they
7:39
have green check marks in those columns
7:41
Nvidia also has its own set of data
7:43
centers and supercomputing services but
7:45
they're much less widely used so I gave
7:47
Nvidia a blue check on the flip side
7:50
Microsoft Google and Amazon all build
7:52
their own data center chips but they
7:54
don't really compete with nvidias or
7:56
amds they actually don't even sell them
7:58
to other compan companies instead they
8:00
send easier workloads to their own chips
8:03
and they use nvidia's and amd's chips to
8:05
process the harder ones that's why
8:07
Nvidia and AMD have green check marks
8:09
for AI chips while the cloud providers
8:11
have blue ones and the NASDAQ gets blue
8:13
check marks across the board since it
8:15
holds at least some companies in every
8:17
major Tech Market as you can see these
8:19
checks are not an exact science I'm just
8:21
trying to show you a lot of high level
8:23
information at once and there's a lot
8:25
more to each of these companies than I
8:27
can cover in a single video all right
8:29
here 's a quick bonus stock to consider
8:31
Intel has over a 70% market share for
8:33
data center CPUs even though AI is
8:36
Shifting the world towards gpus CPUs are
8:38
still the main kind of data center
8:40
processor today Intel's biggest
8:42
competitor here is AMD which owns the
8:45
other roughly 30% of this Market I
8:47
didn't put Intel on my list because it's
8:49
already near the top of the NASDAQ 100
8:52
and it's currently way above my price
8:53
Target after going up 50% over the last
8:56
2 months anyway between Nvidia and AMD
8:59
and the three big cloud service
9:01
providers I can own the entire data
9:03
center GPU market and not worry about
9:05
who's winning at any given time and if I
9:08
add Intel into the mix I would own the
9:10
entire CPU Market as well so now with
9:12
just five or six stocks I'm virtually
9:14
guaranteed to be holding the winners of
9:16
multiple quickly growing markets no luck
9:19
required by the way the global
9:21
artificial intelligence Market is
9:23
forecasted to 15x over the next 10 years
9:26
which is a compound annual growth rate
9:28
of almost 37% for the next decade that
9:31
means all of the hardware companies and
9:33
cloud service providers that I've
9:35
covered so far should also grow fast
9:37
even if their market shares just stay
9:39
the same the third part of the AI Market
9:42
is software obviously software includes
9:45
a lot of different things so I picked a
9:47
couple of example categories just so you
9:49
can get the idea the first category that
Top Stocks for Enterprise Software
9:51
I picked is cyber security since the
9:53
global Cloud security Market is
9:55
forecasted to more than 7x in size over
9:57
the next decade which is is a growth
9:59
rate of over 22% per year and just like
10:02
software cyber security includes many
10:04
different things like identity and
10:06
access management data loss prevention
10:09
event management disaster recovery and a
10:11
lot more than what's shown on this one
10:13
chart I'm also not a cyber security
10:16
expert but I do think this Market will
10:18
grow even faster than predicted because
10:20
as AI keeps evolving there will be way
10:22
more cyber threats in general new kinds
10:24
of malware and hacking techniques more
10:26
devices apps and data that needs
10:28
securing and more rules and regulation
10:30
on what counts as secure in the first
10:32
place so I looked for cyber security
10:34
companies that have high earnings growth
10:36
and are Market leaders specifically in
10:38
identity and access management and data
10:40
loss prevention since those appear to be
10:43
the biggest chunks of the global Cloud
10:44
security Market that's how I landed on
10:46
poo Alto networks and fortunet crowd
10:49
strike and zscaler are two other cyber
10:51
security companies that are also in the
10:53
NASDAQ 100 but I didn't add them to this
10:55
list because they both recently had
10:57
company insiders selling shares and and
10:59
they were either unprofitable or barely
11:01
profitable for the most recent quarter
11:03
none of that makes them bad companies
11:05
but I'm being super picky here since
11:07
this list is all about building a solid
11:08
foundation for a long-term stock
11:10
portfolio and of course Microsoft Google
11:13
and Amazon have a wide range of cloud
11:15
Security Services as well but they're
11:17
not as specialized and they only work
11:19
within their own ecosystems that's why
11:21
they got blue checks and that brings me
11:23
to paler and uipath which are both
11:26
Enterprise software companies paler
11:28
makes high powered platforms that give
11:30
huge Enterprises a real-time view of
11:32
their data and help them optimize their
11:34
operations paler platforms tend to focus
11:36
on high-risk and highly regulated
11:38
markets like National Security heavy
11:41
Industries medical and international
11:43
transport users can even send commands
11:45
to assets under their control directly
11:48
from within the platform for example a
11:50
power company can monitor and rotate a
11:52
wind turbine a logistics company can
11:54
reroute its trucks and a commander can
11:56
retask military units in real time
11:59
which just goes to show how much some of
12:01
the biggest governments and companies on
12:03
the planet trust paler platforms with
12:05
their most sensitive data because of
12:07
that paler Solutions need to be
12:09
incredibly accurate fast and secure
12:12
which is a big challenge for most aib
12:13
based tools today my other pick here is
12:16
uipath a company that makes software
12:18
robots to emulate and automate work done
12:21
by humans uipath uses different kinds of
12:23
AI like computer vision and natural
12:25
language processing to let people create
12:27
pretty robust automations for example
12:29
they can use computer vision to find and
12:31
push a button on a web page even if that
12:34
web Page's layout changes over time or
12:36
the robot can crawl through tons of
12:38
emails retrieve data and enter it into a
12:40
wide variety of other applications or it
12:43
can send invoices to large numbers of
12:45
customers who need them in completely
12:47
different formats these are all
12:49
processes that every company has to deal
12:51
with so UI paaths Market is pretty
12:53
massive I chose both paler and uipath
Getting Rich Without Getting Lucky
12:56
for a few key reasons first I I have
12:59
personal experience with them both I
13:01
used paler Foundry for about half a year
13:03
and I use uipath in my day-to-day
13:05
business so I have a pretty good
13:07
understanding of the quality of their
13:08
products and who their main competitors
13:11
actually are the bad news is that paler
13:13
and uipath are both seeing more
13:15
competition from Tech giants that are
13:16
adding AI to many of their services like
13:19
Microsoft and Amazon but the good news
13:21
is that those companies are already at
13:23
the top of this list so I win no matter
13:26
which company ends up on top no lock
13:28
requ ired the other reason that I picked
13:30
paler and uipath is that they're
13:32
flexible and fast as AI keeps evolving
13:35
both companies have released new tools
13:37
that their customers love for example
13:39
paler stood up their artificial
13:40
intelligence platform AIP just months
13:43
after chat GPT was released and it's now
13:46
their most demanded platform and uipath
13:48
built a chat GPT integration to securely
13:51
extract information from long documents
13:53
for use in larger workflows which makes
13:55
it way faster and simpler to automate
13:57
many different processes and as we enter
13:59
the era of AI I think the market will
14:01
reward companies that are fast and
14:03
flexible which is why it's the last
14:05
column on my table whether a company
14:07
focuses on one market like cyber
14:09
security or it has its hands in every
14:11
market like the tech Giants companies
14:13
will need to keep up with the
14:14
state-of-the-art or get disrupted by
14:16
those who can I know this video is a
14:17
little long but I wanted to be thorough
14:19
since the whole idea is to build a solid
14:21
foundation for a portfolio in 2024 and
14:24
Beyond and to me that means focusing on
14:27
fast growing markets and finding all the
14:29
winners by understanding the science
14:31
behind the stocks that's the best way to
14:33
get rich without getting lucky so if you
