Amazon is an investor darling. Despite being up 60% since it’s last 52-week low, the majority consensus among mainstream analysts is that it’s a strong buy. But is it really?

If the past few weeks have taught us anything, it’s this: We’re deep into uncharted waters. Between on again/off again trade talks, President Trump’s unscheduled visit to the Federal Reserve (and spar with Jerome Powell), and the U.S. and Israel withdrawing from ceasefire talks with Hamas, there’s chaos baked into every headline. But chaos is where fortunes are made. So where can we find those fortunes this week?

Our past is littered with the corpses of companies that failed to adapt fast enough to technological change. With the speed at which technology is advancing today, how many more face extinction. And how can investors pick the survivors?

Uncertainty is like acid to the markets. And as volatility increases, certain sectors become vulnerable to overbought conditions. They may be overextended and poised for a potential mean reversion, which basically means they snap back up or down to something closer to their long-term trend. This includes the tech sector… as was evident in April’s bout of earnings releases…

Decades ago, we were a country with relative wealth equality. We boasted a vast and robust middle class. Today, millions of folks are sinking below the poverty line. The cause? The unfolding technochasm. You either get ahead of it, or you fall behind like so many are.

AI is the epitome of exponential progress. But it’s advancing so fast that far too many people are simply underestimating what’s about to hit us. The technology is nearing a tipping point, where it will suddenly shift into something powerful… and investors ready now could see handsome rewards…
