Investing In AI

[@Andygb78]

I'll stick to food, beverage, industrial and retail stocks that I can understand. I'm quite confident that as a species we'll still need food, drink, materials, clothing & footwear going forwards.

[@nonexistent5030]

You couldn't possibly! Those sectors got wiped out by the internet. They no longer exist anymore. All companies that once formed infrastructure or served utility needs have evaporated now.

Sticking to my basic all world funds and avoid tweaking for anything. Worth noting the whole market ticked up when nvidia announced data.

thank you Ramin. Sensible, informed and intelligent - still one of the best investment advice on KZbin : )

Glad it was helpful! @winthir

Loved hearing how you are utilising AI. Thanks for making your content relatable and accessible :)

[@raykingston4354]

Excellent content today. I studied ai and invested in that wisdom tree etf for two years and closed it out. My conclusion were the same as yours. Looking for the non nvidias :)

[@marsbruno9831]

Curious to what have you found?

[@Pensioncraft]

Thanks for sharing! @raykingston4354

[@raykingston4354]

@@marsbruno9831 I would hate to recommend but doing as he did is what I am doing. Look at the etf and drop some into the bottom half. Focus on chip production. All it takes is one to survive the decade. A lower risk one is asml with a pe of around 50

[@greenockscatman]

It would be more accurate to call it a processing power gold rush. The people making bank off AI aren't the guys who post realistic renders of Shrek, it's the guys who make better more specialized processing units for AI stuff. Now it's NVIDIA, but their empire is built on CUDA which is at its core just a piece of very specialized software, and there's no reason other chip manufacturers won't be able to catch up at some point very soon.

Many thanks Ramin for spreading the knowlegde. Are there any semiconductor etfs that are GBP denominated so that we do not have to pay additional fees in addition to the expense ratio and the platform fee which we use for investment ?

[@richardwall2330]

Top work please keep the content coming Sadly i find that AI and Crypto rather bewildering much as i try to grasp the both of them Im hoping that content such as yours provides clarity in the future for me 😮😮

[@paulday7427]

Ramin, great content as always. Who would you look at as a pure semiconductor company and stepdown transformer company to invest in ? Thx Paul Dubai.

[@thetjt]

Emerging Markets Asia etf (CEBL) is also a good alternative for semiconductor exposure... Around 18% of the fund is semiconductor manufacturers if we include Samsung. Also gets exposure to probable future AI boom in China through IT companies such as Tencent & Alibaba. The fund is also currently relatively cheap. A great long term investment I believe.

[@Lexington55]

On Freetrade can you purchase fractional shares in an ISA account?

[@GavinLawrence747]

No fractional UK or EU shares on freetrade. US stocks, yes.

[@its1me1cal]

Avoid at all costs, a quick search on here KZbin for a comparison with other similar trading apps will explain to you better than I can why. Basically the name Freetrade is a contradiction being more expensive than it’s closest rivals, higher FX fees, many stocks behind a monthly pay Wall, not profitable so risker than others, and many other reasons that the comparison videos go through.

[@TonyRoberts]

Yes

[@akaxl]

Would a Nasdaq 100 ETF be a good alternative.

[@pj9375]

Very interesting Ramin. What goes up must come down… at some point

[@knoxharington3173]

I considered a semiconductor ETF then bought a S&P 500 and US IT sector ETFs.

True, still if you just bought the nasdaq100 at the very top in that year, you'd still 4x your investment in 20-24 years.This is without DCAing, adding anything along the way, just bought NASDAQ at the very top...not bad!

92% of AI chips are made by one company - tsmc. AI chips has to be advanced (< 7nm) manufacturing process, so it’s not average semiconductor manufacturer.

[@vikaschokshi10]

Polar Capital Trust AI fund? High fee but good returns?

[@specialblorb]

Not sure I'd take that NVIDIA revenue breakdown at face value, other than indicating business line. In particular, "gaming" is a bad label because many retail sales of their non-datacentre cards will have been for mining Ethereum and doing ML (in academia and business, not just enthusiasts)

[@andreaisonline]

Thank you Ramin!:)

[@Pensioncraft]

No problem 😊 @andreaisonline

[@PhillCurtis]

Interesting 👍 a global or s&p 500 index fund gives you exposure, all companies will adopt this technology if it has a meaningful use 👍 The adoption of the Ai curve ball will change the landscape of business more than we know. So if we can't predict the winners the index funds will be the winner imo

[@davidwalsh9807]

If algorithmic trading has got us to this point in the global markets with average returns of circa 8 to 11%. I think it is fair to assume that with greater computer power and smarter trading algorithms via AI average returns will increase

[@alangordon3283]

No need for pink blobby traders then 🤔

If we wanted 'transport as a service' we would hire a taxi rather than own and drive cars.

[@edc1569]

I think a lot of younger people have little interest in owning a car, it’s odd we have these very expensive “assets” sitting around doing nothing, and for the urban dweller they are often not where you want them. If you can just summon a vehicle to turn up wherever you are and you drive it or it drives you, I think traditional car ownership is going to seem a very old fashioned idea.

[@djpuplex]

Just buy QQQ and S&P.

[@JonnyRootsDem]

LLMs are on steriods, at the moment I think the SC industry will be crazy in the next few years, SCMI, NVIDIA and the like qill do well, but there're so expensive. SORA is a game changer for real.

[@robweinberg9396]

so what's next?

[@STORMCLOUDGREY]

Sound advice. I bought Intel big when their price recently crashed because of some unexpected poor figures. A week later I am already reaping good rewards. AMD are also heading in the right direction.

[@Pooter-it4yg]

The NASDAQ captures NVDA plus every other player in this field, including in the still emergent and competitive area of quantum (and because that's so capital intensive I think it's a dance only for the big boys). There's other stuff in there too, but to my thinking the NASDAQ is effectively a one-stop AI theme. PS UK investors - for heaven's sake make careful use of an ISA wrapper. You can hit the point where CGT becomes a consideration quicker than you think even on boring blue chips. I have that teeshirt and bed & ISAing has become a bit of a chin scratcher of late.

[@luxushauseragency]

Outstanding! As always.

[@Pensioncraft]

[@stevegeek]

Great overview. I'm keen to get a piece of the action here but as stated, the AI (and related sectors) do seem to be over-valued currently, so I'm waiting before I jump in. Annoyingly I was close to buying NVidia shares 3 years ago, just because I liked their GPUs when I was building gaming rigs...if only...!!!

[@davidgray3321]

My advise is don’t complicate this sort of thing, being an innumerate dyslexic type, who got into university when the system was designed to keep people like me out in the early 1980s , to read History, I saw Ai coming a long way off. Since history is a good training to understand innovation and economics I saw it a long way off. Just pick a decent fund, look at its record and get in. That’s it. Don’t agonise too much about fees. A decent fund and your in.

i bought 400,000 AGIX in 2020 at 1 cent each. Its 90 cents today. Why? Because it was an AI project in a decentralized crypto ecosystem.

[@bobdobalina276]

I do have concerns about the markets ability to deal to real-time driven AI ETF and funds. Imagine some form of dynamic fund that, rather than just holding a weighted "the world" or US, dynamically looks for market risers and fallers, automatically buys into the risers, automatically dumps the fallers, no human intervention, very low fees. Imagine a predictive algorithm that was pretty good at what it did and regularly returned 30% or so. You can see investors buying into such an ETF, even if its just 10% of their funds. 10% is low risk from a fund or SIPP pot perspective but, accumulated, the AI funds themselves become extremely powerful and influential. When these AI's determine a sell-off scenario you can imagine it potentially triggering a world-wide avalanche. There are pressure valves in place for regular investment tools, but are they sufficient to handle an AI-smart sell off (which is aware of those valves and will have code to do its best to put its investors first and circumnavigate them). We have software doing this now of course, but just not this fast and not operating on huge funds.

[@thierry-le-frippon]
