Everyone Hates AI Right Now. Four Stocks That Are Bulletproof
Main summary
Key takeaways
Finance-Focused Summary (Markets / Investing / Portfolio Logic)
Macro / Market Thesis: “AI Slowdown Debate Won’t Stop Capex”
The speaker argues that even if AI regulation or “slow down” pledges occur, AI infrastructure spending cannot stop due to physical bottlenecks:
- <4% of US data centers can accept a full rack of Nvidia’s newest chips; older chips keep running.
- Grid/power connection lead times for major data center markets are said to be ~4 years.
- New data center builds and equipment availability also take years.
The speaker frames AI as a multi-year buildout similar to prior eras (e.g., railroads, housing), measured by capex as a share of GDP:
- Housing boom (2005): 6.6% of GDP
- Railroads (1870s): ~5%
- AI: ~1–2% of GDP in 2026, potentially reaching ~3% by 2028 (citing Goldman Sachs)
Portfolio Construction Framework: “Own the Bottleneck Parts”
Rather than trying to pick the single winning AI company, the video claims a more durable approach is to own data-center “parts” that multiple AI builders can’t replace quickly.
Four “data-center buckets”:
- Processors (compute): “does all the thinking”
- Memory (working/storage): holds conversation context/files
- Optics (data transport): converts electrical to light; fiber/optics interconnect
- Inference / finished machines: rent compute by the hour/day
Investing Methodology: Signals From a Nightly System
The presenter describes an internal system that runs nightly and:
- Executes ~20 million calculations across a watchlist
- Outputs a signal: buy a lot / buy / buy a little / hold / sell
Core logic:
- Fair value vs. current price
- If price < fair value → “buy”
- If price > fair value → “sell” or “buy less”
- Trend adjustment
- Buying is preferred when price is turning up; less preferred when sliding
- Sell-timing emphasis
- Claims strong sell accuracy: 7 of the last 8 years
- Lower conviction when problems are found
- Buy size cutbacks occur on “three of seven names” when issues appear

Key Numbers, Timelines, and Explicit Calls
Copper (Sponsor Segment + Commodity Context)
- Copper price: all-time high > $6.70/lb (August); up >40% in 12 months
- Copper One
- Down ~75% in 2026
- Cash / working capital: market cap ~CA$14.8M, with ~CA$10.4M as cash
- Valuation framing after backing out cash:
- “Pricing three copper projects ~CA$4M” total
- Projects mentioned: Majuba Hill (Nevada) (past producer), Red Roanda and Red Hill (British Columbia); Roanda drilling “right now”
- Standard promo tone: “do your own due diligence”
AI Infrastructure Spend Outlook (Demand Durability)
Cloud commitments
- ~1.7 trillion of signed work across Google Cloud, Microsoft, and Amazon
- Framed as ~3 years of AI buildout at the cited 2026 pace
Compute intensity
- One AI agent job uses 15–100x the computing of a person doing the job
Chip utilization / constraints
- Nvidia chips allegedly stay utilized even as older models remain deployed (discussion references “warm shells” / utilization constraints)
Investment Calls (7-Name Sequence With Explicit Labels)
1) Micron (MU) — Memory (fast/near-processor)
Operating profit margin impact
- Two years ago: 11 cents operating profit per $1 sold
- Latest quarter: 80 cents operating profit per $1 sold
Timing
- Earnings “again on September 30th”
Trend / technical logic
- Above 200-day moving average
- Slipped under 50-day at one point
Fair value vs price conflict
- System: trend says buy a lot
- Historical valuation check: Micron has been this expensive only ~2% of the time in 10 years
Recommendation
- “buy a little”
- Wait for the September report to decide whether to buy more
2) SanDisk — Storage-side memory
Profit
- Latest quarter: 78 cents operating profit per $1 sold
Valuation
- Still under 8x expected earnings next year
Growth cheapness metric
- Uses PEG = price / growth
- PEG cited: ~0.3
Recommendation
- Buy “a lot” (by both price and trend)
Caveat
- Public history only ~19 months, so the presenter can’t run the 10-year expensive/cheap frequency check; conviction reduced
- System says buy, but the presenter says “I don’t lean into it.”
3) Lumenum — Optics / lasers
Profit trend
- Two years ago: losing money per $1 sold
- Now: 27 cents operating profit per $1 sold
Growth claim
- Sales grew 83% in a year (with an “August” earnings headline miss mentioned)
Valuation
- Pricing cited around ~195x last year’s profit
- Speaker claims that normally it costs around ~70x
- PEG mentioned as under 1 (growth “not expensive”)
Recommendation
- Possibly sell some
- Rationale: business looks fine; price ran ahead of fundamentals
4) Marvell — Custom AI chips (clouds building in-house vs Nvidia)
Demand visibility
- In August 2026, Google gets a right to buy ~6.7% of Marvell
- Google “earns the stake” by buying ~120B chips through 2033
- Implied: next ~7 years of buying locked in
Valuation
- Paying ~80x last year’s profit
- “Normally” around ~33x
Recommendation
- Strong sell
- Rationale: price already reflects the next 7 years of growth
5) Cerebras — (spelled inconsistently in subtitles)
Backlog / order visibility
- Backlog: $25B in signed orders
- Under $1B worth of sales happening this year
- Key risk: converting orders on schedule (or thesis pauses)
Financials
- Latest quarter loss: -$450M
- Presenter says much is non-operating/stock-related (employee stock)
- Cash: $8.6B
Recommendation
- Buy a lot by the price signal
- But system is cautious due to limited trading history:
- Company only public ~4 months
- System relies on analyst-implied fair value → signal notched down one
- Practical stance: buy depends on backlog conversion timing; if delayed, likely sidelines
6) CoreWeave — Private inference / renting compute
Demand vs capacity
- Two years ago quarterly sales: $400M
- Now quarterly sales: $2.6B
- Customers signed for ~4.2 gigawatts of power
- CoreWeave only has ~1.5 GW running
- Implied oversubscription today: ~3x
Risk / cash burn (explicit)
- Last 12 months cash burned: $13.7B
- Sales: $7.66B (interpreted from subtitles showing “7.6 6”)
Recommendation status
- Presented as a high-risk inference bet with material funding/capex exposure
- “Touches on risk”; a clear buy/sell label was described as less explicit than for the other names
7) Nvidia (NVDA) — “Anchor” position
Scale and profitability
- Two years ago: $30B quarterly revenue
- Now: $96B quarterly revenue
- Operating profit margin: keeps 66 cents per $1 (vs 62 cents two years ago)
Supply/demand constraint
- Speaker claims Nvidia supplies about ~70% of what customers ask for
Lease backstop
- Nvidia guaranteed up to $18B of customer data center leases (co-signer if a customer can’t pay)
Valuation
- Paying ~28x last year’s profit (video wording: “as of today”)
- Historically “normally cost about 52x”
- “Pay ratio” during filming: 0.35 (interpreted as a low valuation/fair-value indicator in their system)
Recommendation
- Buy a lot / “by a lot”
- Technical timing: above 200-day moving average even after a “very soft week”
Key thesis risk
- Could unravel if signed orders (earlier referenced ~$1.7T) begin to shrink
Disclosures / Disclaimers
- Presenter states: “I am not a financial adviser and I do this for educational purposes.”
- Additional promo: like the video; Patreon support encouraged
- Copper sponsor disclosure:
- “This segment is disseminated on behalf of Copper One Resources Corp”
- “please do your own due diligence”
