Market Commentary
Everyone’s obsessed with high-profile AI software plays, but hardly anyone’s talking about the custom chip arms race in chipmaking. From “Why everyone from OpenAI to SpaceX is building their own chips” (TechCrunch) to Onsemi’s swoop on Synaptics (Tom’s Hardware UK), the industry is forging specialized silicon that could make Nvidia look like last year’s joke. This hardware fragmentation is a ticking time bomb for anyone banking on broad-based GPU dominance—don’t say you weren’t warned.
Look at how AI is bleeding into every corner of the economy: McMaster’s SyntheMol-RL model whipping up a new antibiotic candidate by scanning 46 billion molecules (Space Daily) and GNC using Corvus Robotics drones to slash backorders (Business Insider). These stories should convince you that “physical AI” isn’t some sci-fi buzzword—it’s blazing a trail from lab benches to distribution centers.
If you’re serious about finding alpha, you need to load up on players in edge AI hardware, gene editing platforms, robotics-driven automation and solid-state battery startups. Skip the hype machines chasing theoretical yield curves and focus on companies building real-world AI infrastructure—because real money flows where real innovation happens.

Understanding the Luddites in the age of AI
“The Luddites are back in fashion, but too many people still get them all wrong. This is what they really stood for, fought against, and why they matter now more than ever.”
A McMaster University AI model called SyntheMol-RL designed a new antibiotic candidate by searching a chemical space of 46 billion possible compounds — a scale far beyond physical lab screens, which usually test hundreds of thousands to a few million molecules.
A McMaster AI model reportedly searched 46 billion possible compounds for a new antibiotic candidate, showing how computational chemical space can exceed physical screening.

“I said ‘SELL' before this stock dropped 90%.
Today, I'm shouting ‘BUY NOW' before it's too late.” In 2000, Eric Fry told Barron's magazine that investors should sell a very popular dot-com stock just before it plunged 90%. Today, Eric is saying the exact opposite about it – “BUY NOW!” This same company is now the lifeblood of AI data centers – yet it's completely undervalued. He says anyone who owns Nvidia stock would be well-served to sell those shares and buy this under-the-radar play instead. Get Eric's full take on the situation right here…
