Yeah, first of all, I don't know how you can call this the AI11 without NVIDIA being included in the basket.
I don't know.
I know that they're trying not to have overlap, but even so, you can't call it the AI11.
So it's about time we had a new top stocks basket.
It seems like the FANG thing was so long ago.
The Mag7, it's been the market's gold standard for several years.
To really answer your question, I like the basket approach, but tend not to just include the stocks at the top when I'm forming a basket, whether it's fintech, whether it's real estate, all the things that I focus on.
Now, in recent years, it hasn't been the best strategy, if I'm being fair.
The MAG7 has clearly outperformed all the mid-cap and small-cap baskets of tech stocks I could have made.
I'd expect the 11 stocks in this particular basket to
We could debate whether you think it's a bubble or whether you think it's a good time to buy, like Travis said, but I would expect them to generally move more in tandem than I would the Mag 7, because they're really all plays on the same thing, AI-focused hardware.
They're not just the largest tech companies in the market, which is essentially what the Mag 7 are.
And Travis makes a really good point that, you know,
It might not be the best time to buy this.
At least these are all stocks that could tumble if the AI investment surge cools off.
And that's really kind of goes along with the movement in tandem of this basket that you need to expect.
For me, the one I own in the basket is AMD.
And it's been a roughly 5X performer in like a year, a year and a half since I've owned it.
I bought it as a value investment, and I didn't think I'd be this right this fast.
There's a solid case to be made that it's run too far.
