Stop Buying “AI Stocks” and Start Buying These

The best AI opportunities may be hiding in plain sight…

Stop Buying “AI Stocks” and Start Buying These VIEW IN BROWSER By Jason Bodner, Editor, Quantum Edge Pro Most people think they know what an “AI stock” looks like. They picture companies that loudly brand themselves as AI leaders, dominate headlines, and trade at nosebleed valuations. The textbook case is Nvidia (NVDA) and its CEO, Jensen Huang. It’s easy to picture Huang onstage in his trademark leather jacket, saying “AI” 10 times a minute and showing off the company’s newest hardware to deafening applause. Most investors go straight to this image when they think of AI stocks. But some of the best AI stocks aren’t as obvious. And they’re outperforming marquee stocks like NVDA as we speak. These companies may not advertise themselves as AI stocks, and they don’t fit the popular narrative. Yet AI is deeply embedded in their products, operations, and long-term growth prospects. And that’s worth just as much – maybe even more – than the headline names. I call these companies “secret AI stocks.” And whether you know they’re AI stocks or not, Wall Street’s biggest institutions absolutely do… and they’re buying hand over fist. What Big Money Knows That You Don’t Those massive institutions move stocks, whether we like it or not. The gobs of money they invest every day make up between 70% and 90% of trading volume. Investing with those tidal waves of money gives you a huge advantage. The challenge is finding those waves. I built my Quantum Edge System to do exactly that. And the only reason I was able to build it is because my years handling trades from Wall Street’s whales taught me the tricks they use to keep their activity quiet – and how to find them. I can see where the Big Money is flowing across the market, across sectors, and down to the individual stocks. That also allows me to spot themes Big Money is chasing. Secret AI stocks is one of those themes. Here’s the perfect example… Most investors would not associate Carpenter Technology (CRS) with artificial intelligence. CRS is a leader in high-performance alloys used in aerospace, defense, medical devices, and other critical applications in demanding environments. It looks like a traditional industrial materials firm. The company has been around for more than 135 years. Its materials were used on Apollo 11, which landed on the moon in 1969. Carpenter also supplied stainless steel for the Statue of Liberty renovation in the 1980s. But here’s the context that unlocks the full picture today. AI is increasingly embedded deep inside defense and aerospace systems. That includes advanced sensors, radar, autonomous platforms, propulsion systems, and next-generation aircraft. These AI-enabled systems operate in extreme environments, under enormous stress, and with virtually zero tolerance for failure. That creates a critical need for specialty materials. And that’s where Carpenter comes in. CRS supplies the materials that make AI-enabled hardware possible. Defense and aerospace platforms are becoming more sophisticated and software driven. The physical demands on their components are rising right along with them. Advanced alloys aren’t optional. They are essential. In 3-D printing – or “additive manufacturing” in the industrial context – AI-driven design tools are accelerating demand for advanced metal powders that can produce complex, high-performance parts. In next-generation data center hardware, rising power density and thermal stress are increasing the value of materials engineered for durability and reliability. And in medical technology, AI is being embedded into imaging systems, robotics, and precision devices. Materials matter more than ever for reliability and performance. These aren’t headline-grabbing AI markets. But as AI moves deeper into the physical world, the need for advanced materials increases. The Quant Data Lines Up For any stock I recommend, AI or not, I need to see superior fundamentals, strong technicals, and Big Money buy signals in my Quantum Edge system. CRS checked all those boxes when I recommended it to my Quantum Edge Pro readers 16 months ago. Shares have more than doubled for us, and the data points to more upside ahead. And yes: This unknown stock nearly doubled the performance of NVDA over the same stretch of time. The Quantum Score is stellar at 93.2. This is the overall rating my system assigns to each stock that tells us instantly whether a stock is likely to move higher. I like to buy when the score is above 85, so CRS’s score is optimal. The Quantum Score factors in the key fundamentals, technicals, and money flows that are predictive of future price movement. Carpenter’s fundamentals and technicals both rate in the 90s. Think of those like “A” ratings. As for Big Money, it has been scooping up CRS shares for much of the past year. Those green bars on the chart below show days of unusual buying – or Big Money buy signals. You can see a flurry of green bars from early May to early July, then another stretch of steady buying that began in October. Source: MoneyFlows.com There are just two red bars on that chart, which is noteworthy. Those are Big Money sell signals. The first was in April when everything sold off in the tariff tantrum. The only other was early September, and shares didn’t move much. One other point that makes CRS somewhat of a secret AI stock: Demand isn’t driven by consumer trends, app cycles, or headlines that can send stocks flying or falling. It’s tied to defense modernization, aerospace innovation, and national security priorities – areas where spending is structural and persistent. The market may see an industrial materials company in Carpenter Technologies, but beneath the surface, its products are quietly riding one of the most powerful technological shifts of our time. Big Money is also aggressively buying Lam Research (LRCX) right now. It is a semiconductor company, and hardware companies have been on fire to start 2026. Most people think of Nvidia and AMD when thinking of chip companies, but LRCX is more in the background. It makes the equipment that makes advanced chips possible. Without Lam’s equipment, chipmakers cannot produce the cutting-edge processors that are in such high demand right now to power AI data centers. Institutions are on board. The Quantum Edge system picked up 10 buy signals in the last six weeks, during which time shares shot up 44%. Source: MoneyFlows.com LRCX’s high Quantum Score of 95.9 confirms the high probability of higher prices. As AI becomes a part of almost everything, the opportunities in secret AI stocks will get bigger and bigger. I’ll talk more about this in the coming weeks and months, so stay tuned. Talk soon, Jason Bodner Editor, Quantum Edge Pro Disclosure: Jason Bodner holds shares of Lam Research (LRCX) at the time of this writing. In Case You Missed It The Exact Moment Nvidia Crashes Everyone’s watching Nvidia. But there’s one number that matters more — one that appeared 39 days before the COVID crash, 6 weeks before the dot-com collapse, and 8 weeks before 2008. It’s rising again right now. See what it means for your portfolio. Watch the urgent presentation here.

The stock that jumped 11% on earnings -- and what Wall Street STILL got wrong

A record quarter, a 70% revenue surge, and one detail nobody's talking about...  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

February 04, 2026 Here's a riddle for you: A company beats earnings. Revenue surges 70% year-over-year to a record $1.4 billion. They raise guidance. Profit margins nearly quintuple. The stock pops 11%. And somehow... Wall Street is STILL arguing about whether this company is overvalued. Welcome to the Palantir paradox. Yesterday, Palantir Technologies (PLTR) dropped its Q4 2025 earnings report, and it wasn't just good -- it was historic. The kind of quarter that makes analysts scramble to rewrite their models. Palantir daily chart showing post-earnings gap up Let's break it down, because there's a lesson buried in here that most investors will miss entirely. The Hidden Crypto Setup Under Trump Everyone sees the dip.  Few understand the setup behind it.  While investors panic, Trump is quietly engineering what could become the biggest digital-asset wealth transfer in U.S. history.  His team is filled with crypto advocates, regulations are being stripped away, and a national altcoin reserve is being built. This is a coiled spring disguised as fear. Get the urgent blueprint showing how to position yourself before prices rip higher. © 2026 Boardwalk Flock LLC.

There are inherent risks involved with investing, including the loss of your investment. Past performance in the market is not indicative of future results. Any investment is at your own risk. THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER: Revenue hit $1.4 billion for the quarter. That's a 70% jump from the same period last year. For a company that's been around since 2003, growing like a startup in its twenties is... unusual. But here's the number that really caught my eye: net profit margin climbed to 43.4%. A year ago? It was 9.2%. Read that again. They went from keeping roughly 9 cents of every dollar to keeping 43 cents. That's not incremental improvement -- that's a business model transformation happening in real time. Gross margins expanded too -- 84.6%, up from 78.9%. In plain English: Palantir is making more money from each dollar of revenue while spending less to deliver it. That's the holy grail of scaling. THE PART NOBODY'S TALKING ABOUT: Here's what's interesting. Despite all these blowout numbers, PLTR is still down about 15% in 2026. How does that make sense? Simple. The stock ran so hard in 2025 (up 81% for the year) that even a monster earnings beat wasn't enough to push it back to all-time highs. Expectations were already priced in -- or so the bears argued. But here's the lesson: the market doesn't always react to WHAT happened. It reacts to what happened RELATIVE TO WHAT PEOPLE EXPECTED. Buffett, Gates and Bezos Quietly Dumping Stocks — Here's Why The world's wealthiest individuals are making huge moves with their money. Warren Buffett just liquidated billions of shares. Bill Gates sold 500,000 shares of Microsoft. Jeff Bezos filed to sell Amazon shares worth $4.8 billion. What is going on? One multi-millionaire believes they are preparing for a catastrophic event. But not a crash, bank run, or recession. It's something we haven't seen in America for more than a century.  For the full story, click here. Palantir beat estimates. The stock jumped 11%. But it still hasn't recovered its January losses. That gap between reality and expectations is where real money is made -- or lost. THE AI FACTOR: Every analyst note this morning mentioned the same thing: AI demand is accelerating. Palantir's AIP (Artificial Intelligence Platform) is becoming the de facto tool for companies that want to deploy AI on their own data without handing everything to a big tech cloud provider. Government contracts are growing. Commercial revenue is surging. But here's the contrarian thought -- and I want you to sit with this one: If AI demand is this strong for Palantir, what does that tell us about where businesses are actually SPENDING right now? Not where they SAY they're spending... but where the purchase orders are flowing? Follow the invoices, not the press releases. That's always been the rule. Forget AI, This New Tech is Projected to Grow 3x Faster President Trump's new law #S.1582 unlocks a new tech that could trigger a $21 trillion financial revolution. President Trump himself called it a "big innovation"… And said that it represents "American brilliance at its best." Click here to see the details because the market for this tech is projected to grow more than THREE times FASTER than AI in the coming years. THE BIGGER PICTURE: Yesterday's market told a split story. The Dow hit a fresh record intraday before pulling back. The S&P 500 fell 0.8%. The Nasdaq dropped 1.4%. Palantir rallied while the rest of tech sank. S&P 500 daily chart showing the broader market pullback for contrast Nasdaq ETF chart showing tech weakness vs PLTR strength That kind of divergence -- one stock zigging while the sector zags -- is a signal. It means the market is getting selective. It's no longer enough to be a "tech stock." You need to show the receipts. And right now, the companies showing real AI revenue (not just AI promises) are the ones getting rewarded. So what comes next? Palantir raised its full-year 2026 guidance. Management is clearly confident. But with shares still trading at a premium that makes some analysts uncomfortable, the question becomes: at what point does the growth justify the price? That's a question I'll be watching closely. Because the answer won't just tell us about Palantir -- it'll tell us about how the entire market values AI in 2026. More on that Thursday.

Fortunately, there are 4 simple steps you can take to safeguard your savings. Discover these 4 simple steps here. Good luck and God bless! Martin D. Weiss, PhD Weiss Ratings Founder Featured News from MarketBeat.com Waste Management's "Boring" Business Is Powering a Quiet Rally Written by Thomas Hughes. Article Posted: 1/30/2026. Quick Look Waste Management’s Q4 results missed estimates, but revenue growth and margin expansion stayed on track with long-term trends. Free cash flow is expected to accelerate, supporting a mix of dividend growth and a planned return to share repurchases. The stock remains in an uptrend after the post-earnings pullback, with buyers likely to defend key moving-average support. Waste Management (NYSE: WM) stock is not idle — its high-quality operations are supported by growing demand for waste services. Economic activity is solid, consumption remains high, and that means more waste to collect — a profitable business in an industry expected to continue expanding. The biggest scam in the history of gold markets is unwinding (Ad) There are 90 paper gold claims for every real ounce in COMEX vaults. Ninety promises, one ounce of metal. It's like musical chairs with 90 players and one chair. COMEX gold inventory dropped 25 percent last year alone as gold flows East to Shanghai, Mumbai, and Moscow. On March 31st, contract holders can demand delivery. When similar situations arose in the past, markets closed and rules changed. Paper holders got crushed while mining stock holders made fortunes. One stock sits at the center of this crisis. Get the full story on this opportunity now. Q4 results may have left investors wanting more, but the important metrics are growth, margin improvement, cash flow, and the capacity for capital returns. The company isn't growing explosively, but it is growing, margins are widening, and capital returns are accelerating. Dividend Growth and Buybacks Support WM's Shareholder-Return Outlook On track for inclusion in the Dividend Aristocrats, Waste Management has increased its payout for 23 consecutive years and is positioned to reach the 25-year threshold for inclusion in 2028. That milestone could boost demand for the stock by underscoring the company's stability and cash-generation profile. As of early 2026, the dividend yield is roughly 1.45%, representing about 49% of forecasted earnings and growing at a double-digit pace. Among the Q4 release highlights were a 14% dividend increase and an announcement that the company intends to resume share buybacks. Buybacks were suspended in 2024 to prioritize debt reduction after a major acquisition; Q4 results indicate WM is nearing target leverage levels. Guidance assumes $2 billion in buybacks this year — more than 2% of market cap — which should offset dilution from share-based compensation. The balance sheet shows higher assets, lower net debt and liabilities, and roughly a 20% increase in shareholders' equity at year-end 2025. Waste Management Falls Short of Estimates in Q4 Waste Management's Q4 2025 results missed analyst estimates, falling short on both revenue and earnings by roughly 100 basis points. Still, 7.1% revenue growth and margin expansion are consistent with the long-term trends supporting the stock. Strength appeared in the core legacy business and in a newer healthcare-related segment, though the latter remains a small portion of revenue. Earnings quality benefited from revenue leverage and operational improvements, including efficiencies from AI and automation. The result was an 11.7% increase in adjusted earnings — enough to maintain financial health and continue returning capital to shareholders. Guidance was cautious but constructive. While below some expectations, projected 5% revenue growth is paired with forecasts for margin expansion and free cash flow improvement. Free cash flow, a key driver for capital returns, is forecast to grow at an accelerated ~30% pace, supporting the company's buyback and dividend plans. Given the company's momentum and potential economic tailwinds, it's reasonable to expect results could outpace guidance and sustain the current favorable cycle. The analyst response has been positive. The first notable update tracked was Bank of America raising its price target to a near-consensus $245, reinforcing the prevailing upbeat sentiment. Twenty-six analysts rate the stock a consensus Moderate Buy, implying at least an 11% upside to the consensus target and larger gains to the high-end estimates. Waste Management Amid Trend-Following Movement WM's share price pulled back after the Q4 release and guidance update, but the decline did not break the existing uptrend. The market appears to be following the trend, with buyers likely to defend key moving averages. A material risk is that a drop below the 150-day EMA could trigger a deeper sell-off, but that outcome is not the base case. Institutions have been accumulating shares and are likely buyers on pullbacks. The more probable scenario is price confirming support near $220, then retesting the all-time high and potentially moving higher.   11780 US Highway 1, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33408-3080 Would you like to edit your e-mail notification preferences or unsubscribe from our mailing list?     Update your email preferences or unsubscribe here © 2026 American Market News 345 N Reid Place #620 Sioux Falls, SD 57103, United States Terms of Service

February 04, 2026   |   Read Online Bitcoin's Quiet Problem How a slow Bitcoin slide could turn into a leverage chain reaction Don't forget to cast your vote 👇 Poll of the day: What do you trust more? → Gold → Bitcoin → Cash → None This one wasn't on the bingo card.   A few months ago, the Bitcoin bear case sounded reasonable: Maybe we get a normal pullback. Maybe some chop. Nothing dramatic. Well… here we are. Bitcoin isn't crashing in one violent move. It's doing something more unsettling: slowly losing its footing. That's usually how trouble starts — with a quiet slide that makes everyone uncomfortable. The Spark That Started The Chain Back in November, Michael Purves flagged something most people brushed off: a monthly MACD sell signal. MACD is basically a speedometer for the market. It tells you how fast (or slow) it's moving. When that speedometer flips to "sell," it means momentum has rolled over. The car is losing steam. This only happens on Bitcoin's monthly chart about once in a blue moon — November was just the sixth time ever. And historically, when that big-picture momentum turns negative, Bitcoin hasn't had a gentle response. In prior episodes, it eventually fell around 60%. Back then, that warning sounded like a tail risk. Today, it sounds less like a warning. 1\ The second domino  If the MACD was the spark, the next issue quietly finished forming. Bitcoin just completed a bearish head-and-shoulders pattern. If you've never seen one, here's the fast version: Around $110K → left shoulder The all-time high → the head A bounce near $98K → right shoulder And a neckline drawn across ~$76,000 On most charts, that $76K line would be just another number. Here, it isn't. That level also happens to be Strategy's $MSTR ( ▼ 3.13% )  average cost basis. So if Bitcoin loses that level decisively, the conversation changes. This stops being a debate about patterns — and becomes a debate about leverage. Not because anyone wants to sell but because leverage eventually makes the call for you. To their credit, Strategy wasn't blind to this. In December, they set aside a $1.44 billion cash reserve to cover interest and dividends — a cushion designed to prevent exactly this kind of forced selling. Still: when a key technical level lines up perfectly with a massive corporate cost basis, traders treat it like a fault line. 2\ Why October still haunts this market A lot of what we're seeing today traces back to the October 10 liquidation event. Back then, illiquid markets on Binance helped trigger tens of billions of dollars in liquidations in a single day. The scars are still visible. Crypto market cap: $4.2T → $2.6T $758M in liquidations in the last 24 hours Nearly $7B liquidated over the past week Spot Bitcoin ETFs logged $272M in outflows in one day That is called a liquidity crunch. When liquidity dries up, prices don't fall cleanly - they slide, gap, and overshoot. Bitcoin is hovering just above $75,000, down more than 40% from its October 6 all-time high — its lowest level since the session after Trump's 2024 election win. Alexander Blume, CEO of Two Prime, told Sherwood News that given the spike in volatility and current price levels, "we are likely not far from the bottom." Maybe. But "close to the bottom" is not the same as "safe to buy." 3\ The macro wrinkle This selloff isn't happening in a vacuum. Gold and silver just went through their own violent reset — and that spilled over into Bitcoin. The strange part? Bitcoin didn't really participate in the upside of the metals rally… but it is absolutely participating in the downside. Add to that: Citi analysts note that a potential Kevin Warsh Fed nomination (a smaller-balance-sheet guy) could be adding to the angst. They also highlight $70K as the key "pre-election level" to watch. SPONSOR BREAK  presented by TheOxfordClub* How Mitt Romney Turned $450K Into Up to $100 Million (Tax-Free) It wasn't stocks. It wasn't real estate. It was a little-known investment vehicle that turned Mitt Romney's $450,000 into as much as $100 million and Peter Thiel used to turn $2,000 into $5 billion within two decades. Now, thanks to a new executive order, regular Americans can access the same type of investment. Get more details here >> The Key Price Zones Here's how traders are mapping this: A\ $70,000 — pure psychology Just above the prior cycle's $69K high. Break this, and the tone of the market shifts instantly. B\ $55,700–$58,200 — the structural zone Between realized price and the 200-week moving average. That's the line between "pullback" and "cycle reset." Above that, some traders are watching whether Bitcoin can: defend the mid-$70,000s, and reclaim the $78,000–$80,000 zone to repair the chart.

Enter Michael Burry — and the domino theory source: BusinessInsider This is where your story gets interesting. Burry isn't just saying "Bitcoin is going down." He's describing a self-reinforcing chain reaction. His argument, step by step: 1. Bitcoin falls ~40% from its peak. 2. Corporate treasuries holding BTC feel pressure — because treasury assets must be marked to market. 3. Risk managers start advising companies to sell. 4. Miners get squeezed as prices drop. 5. "Tokenized metal futures" (which aren't backed by physical metal) get forced to liquidate. 6. That selling bleeds into real gold and silver markets. 7. Which feeds back into broader risk markets. He calls this a potential "collateral death spiral." Burry even estimates that up to $1 billion in precious metals may have been liquidated at the end of the month because of falling crypto prices. If Bitcoin were to fall to $50,000, he argues: Many miners would go bankrupt, and Tokenized metal futures could "collapse into a black hole with no buyer." He's blunt about Bitcoin's role right now: It hasn't acted like a debasement hedge like gold. ETFs may have made it more speculative, not less. Its correlation with the S&P 500 is now near 0.50. Nearly 200 public companies hold Bitcoin — which sounds bullish, until you realize that "there is nothing permanent about treasury assets." That's Burry's core point: Belief doesn't move corporate balance sheets. Accounting does. So… … is this systemic? Here's the counterweight — and it's important you included this. Even Burry acknowledges that crypto is probably too small to crash everything. Bitcoin's market cap is about $1.5 trillion Household exposure is still limited Past collapses (Terra, FTX) didn't infect traditional markets Strategy also says: There are no margin calls right now No expectation of forced Bitcoin sales A cash cushion that began in December and has since grown to about $2.25B now covers interest and distributions for more than two years. So this isn't 2008 — it's more like a contained but messy unwind. Lesson of the Day 💬 We Want To Hear Your Story: Got a market or stock you want us to analyze next?
