Growth stocks have dramatically outperformed most asset classes over the past two decades. Within that universe, large-cap tech leaders have delivered the lion’s share of returns, riding tailwinds from the invention of the internet, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (AI). […]

Tech stocks have driven the bulk of market gains over the past two decades, fueled by relentless innovation and digital transformation. But as investors continue to bid up the usual suspects, truly compelling value opportunities have become increasingly scarce in

Recent tariffs and trade restrictions under President Donald Trump’s administration have temporarily cooled the artificial intelligence (AI)– fueled bull market, with the benchmark S&P 500 retreating 3.6% since the start of the year. Despite this short-term volatility, however, the AI

The art of successful investing often requires looking beyond short-term market movements to identify transformative technological shifts. Rather than focusing on quarterly earnings beats or temporary market sentiment, my investment strategy centers on identifying companies that can compound value over

Quantum computing represents the next frontier in computational power. Once developed, these systems could solve complex problems in drug development, financial modeling, and artificial intelligence (AI) that lie beyond the reach of today’s fastest supercomputers. This revolutionary potential explains why

Artificial intelligence (AI) will transform the global economy. Market forecasts for its economic impact by 2030 range from optimistic projections of tens of trillions in gross domestic product (GDP) growth to conservative estimates of just half a percent. Despite these

Artificial general intelligence (AGI) — AI systems capable of performing intellectual tasks at or above human level across all domains — could arrive sooner than many expect, with some experts projecting development as early as 2026. Unlike today’s specialized artificial

These emerging technology pioneers are transforming quantum computing, space intelligence, and urban mobility with market-disrupting innovations. Remember when quantum computers seemed like science fiction? When satellites belonged only to governments? When flying cars existed only in The Jetsons? Artificial intelligence
