Four ways to invest in the next big AI trade

Over the past two weeks, we have written multiple pieces on a megatrend that could add a zero to your net worth while making enormous changes to business and society.

We call this trend – this coming revolution – the Agent Supernova.

In November 2025, an Austrian named Peter Steinberger introduced a revolutionary AI program, now called OpenClaw, that took the world by storm.

OpenClaw is an AI “agent” that can autonomously manage online payments, make restaurant reservations, manage your schedule, send emails for you, and manage other AI agents that work for you.

It is the best “AI helper” invented so far.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has called OpenClaw perhaps the most important software release in history. OpenAI quickly paid Steinberger a fortune to “acquire” him.

AI developers are in a mad dash to replicate and improve upon what OpenClaw does. Soon, Google, OpenAI, and Apple will roll out their own AI assistants, which should bring this revolution to hundreds of millions of people… and send the “Agent Supernova” into overdrive.

The population of America is roughly 342 million people. The Agent Supernova is about to introduce billions of “AI workers” into our economy to perform all kinds of roles.

Soon, a restaurant could have five different agents working in it. One agent to manage the cooking schedules of meals. One agent to manage accounting. One agent to manage the staff. One agent to manage the ordering and tracking of supplies. One general-purpose agent to manage the specialized agents and interact with the restaurant owner.

A “mom helper” agent could schedule dentist appointments for the kids, pay bills, renew the car insurance, order groceries, and remind the kids to do their homework.

A factory could have agents managing logistics, accounting, production schedules, component part ordering, hiring and firing workers, and other critical functions.

Now, take those three examples and extrapolate them across the entire economy. We are on the cusp of an explosion of agents working 24/7 for individuals, businesses, and governments.

In addition to restaurant manager agents, mom agents, and factory management agents, we will soon interact with legal agents, government agents, tax agents, teacher agents, negotiator agents, airport agents, hospital agents, writing agents, marketing agents, and more.

Within the next two years, the number of AI agents operating in the American economy isn’t poised to increase by 10X… or 50X… or even by 1,000X. Try at least 100,000X.

This is the coming Agent Supernova. Agents working with people. Agents working with other agents. Agents running businesses. Agents negotiating and haggling with other agents.

Of course, the business and investment implications are huge. The Agent Supernova will transform many businesses and industries. It will end many businesses as we know them… while creating new ones at the same time. The economic deck is about to get reshuffled.

Recently, we’ve highlighted how the Agent Supernova is poised to benefit cybersecurity stocks and communications equipment stocks. Well-positioned semiconductor makers stand to benefit just as much. AI agents running “at the edge” inside our phones, cars, homes, offices, schools, factories, hospitals, and airplanes will drive tremendous demand for specialized semiconductors made for those roles.

Companies involved in this theme include:

Amkor (AMKR): Amkor is a $11 billion market cap “picks and shovels” play on the Agent Supernova. It sits at the point where AI chips become usable hardware. It is one of the largest advanced packaging and test houses for high-performance semiconductors, integrating CPUs, GPUs, and HBM into dense, power-efficient AI systems. As agentic AI drives more compute with CPU, GPU, memory chiplets (as opposed to predominantly GPUs), into very tightly packed 2.5D and 3D packages – AMKR’s advanced packaging demand soars.

Arm Holdings (ARM): Arm is a $150 billion semiconductor design firm. Arm has historically been a licensing company, but it has now launched its own AGI CPU chip explicitly designed to orchestrate multi-agent workloads. This gives ARM a key advantage as CPUs become more important with agentic AI. Analysts are predicting revenue growth to remain above 22% year-over-year, and to increase to 30% in 2029 and 2030.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD): AMD is a $330 billion semiconductor design firm. It is one of the safest bets on the agentic wave. It’s a key player in the GPU space, and the leader, along with NVDA, in the CPU space. Its CPUs are already deeply ingrained with hyperscalers like Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. For reference, in the GPU space, NVDA still completely dominates, but in the CPU space, AMD has now carved out almost 40% market share, suggesting it is set to dominate the next wave.

Marvell Technology (MRVL): MRVL is a $76 billion semiconductor and data infrastructure firm. It designs and sells a wide range of chips and solutions across several key markets, including data centers and edge computing uses.

The Agent Supernova is poised to hit our economy like a tidal wave. It will create enormous change and opportunity. Investing in the semiconductor companies that will make it all possible is a good way to benefit.

How Brazil ended up an “Epic Fury” winner… and why it’s poised to run higher

A military conflict like Operation Epic Fury doesn’t yield many positives. But if you’re looking for a financial silver lining, at least it allows us to “stress test” investment themes and individual stocks.

So far, Brazilian stocks have passed the Epic Fury stress test with flying colors.

Back in September, I detailed the bullish price action in Brazilian stocks and recommended owning them. At the time, I noted how Brazil was a good way to invest in the critical resources uptrend.

Critical resources are the building blocks of the economy. Think raw materials like crude oil, natural gas, iron ore, copper, corn, and cotton.

Mining, extracting, planting, harvesting, processing, refining, and transporting these critical resources is a multi-trillion-dollar business that drives the economy.

With technologies like AI changing the world, it’s easy to forget about critical resources as an asset class. But when they enter uptrends, those uptrends tend to last a long time, and they tend to go higher than most people think is possible.

For many professional investors, Brazil is a preferred way to play commodities in the stock market. Brazil is the world’s largest producer of soybeans, sugar, and coffee. It’s a major producer of cattle, cotton, corn, and orange juice. It’s a major producer of iron ore and crude oil. This makes Brazil heavily “geared” towards resource markets.

Brazil has emerged as a strong “relative performer” during the broad market’s Epic Fury-driven declines.

Since Epic Fury started, many investment themes and ETFs are down more than 10%. Gold, India, Homebuilders, Robotics, Cruise lines, Semiconductors, and Construction aggregate have suffered large declines.

However, the iShares Brazil ETF (EWZ) is down just 2.6% since Epic Fury started. It’s just 5% off its all-time high set in February. This is a very impressive performance for Brazil.

During periods of market weakness, I look for which stocks, ETFs, and themes are holding steady or advancing. It’s a “stress test.”

If the market drops 3%, you want to see what drops just 1%. If the market drops 2%, you want to see what climbs 1%. That sort of thing. This is often called “relative strength.” It allows you to spot the safer megatrends for investment.

It’s like looking at a beachfront neighborhood after a hurricane. Some homes lost their roofs, and some homes were blown away. But some homes were unbothered by the storm. Those are the strongest homes.

As I’ve covered over the past few weeks, for many countries and businesses, Epic Fury is a brutal reminder: If your survival or smooth operation depends on uninterrupted resource flows from the Middle East, you are in a dangerous, vulnerable position.

No politician, CEO, or major shareholder wants their business to be in that position. No citizen wants their country to be in that position. Many powerful and influential people are realizing this is a big risk that must be mitigated if humanly possible. Executives and politicians will get fired for not addressing it effectively.

This means building and buying as many forms of “not Middle Eastern” resource supply chains as possible economically… like those from resource-rich Brazil.

Brazil had strong tailwinds blowing in its favor before Epic Fury. It was a market leader before Epic Fury. I expect that leadership to continue. Still bullish on Brazil.
