Finding the Winners as the AI Race Heats Up Again Growing up in the 80’s, the year 2025 seemed unimaginable. Flying cars. Motorized artificial limbs. Ultra intelligent computer-driven robots. Yet here we are. The future is now, and it’s wilder than I even dreamed. One thing is clear. This year will continue to see even wilder advancements due to our most transformative technology that is still in its early phases: artificial intelligence. AI seems scary to a lot of people… mainly because of the unknown. We don’t yet fully know the implications of creating an autonomous intelligence more powerful than our own. Think back to the classic film “2001: A Space Odyssey” that featured AI technology in a computer named HAL 9000. The film came out in 1968, yet HAL had speech and facial recognition, interpreted emotional behavior, had automated reasoning, and well, acted human. Sound familiar?

There are some amazingly good possibilities to think about, from improving our productivity to speeding up the cure for cancer and other diseases. I’ve talked a lot about that already here in Power Trends, and that won’t change in the new year. Especially as we see AI all over the headlines this week with President Trump announcing an up to $500 billion private sector AI infrastructure investment in a joint venture called Stargate – even that sounds very futuristic. Open AI, Softbank (SFTBY), and Oracle (ORCL) will team up over the next four years to build data centers in the United States, starting in Texas and eventually expanding to other states. For AI to reach its true potential, we need tons more computing power… not to mention power itself. While machines acting as humans is pretty scary, data centers and the necessary infrastructure to power AI is far less intimidating. And that’s where the best opportunities are right now. So, let’s dive in to the positives of AI, including how we can harness this technology for our gain. Enhancing Humanity Through AI There’s no denying AI is the future… and that future is now. Naturally, it’s a big deal, and we can see it already enhancing humanity and changing our lives for the better. Some companies are already using AI to improve our lives. The medical world is actively embracing this technology in research and diagnostics. One company leading the way is Intuitive Surgical (ISRG). ISRG develops, manufactures, and markets robotics designed to improve outcomes of patients through minimally invasive surgery. Its most notable robotic machine is the da Vinci Surgical System. This is a company I’ve known and invested in through the years, and I recommended it to my TradeSmith Investment Report subscribers last March. The stock has surged nearly 55% since then, and its latest earnings report after the close today shows how the robust growth continues. ISRG’s latest system, the da Vinci 5, has more than 10,000 times the computing power of the previous system, providing the capacity to integrate AI and machine learning into surgeries. ISRG is now well above my buy-up-to price, but you can see where I’m going with this… AI is worth investing in. Real-life use cases that once sounded like science fiction are now here. But that doesn’t necessarily mean the companies forging ahead are worthwhile investments. You need to be investing in the right AI. So, how do we identify which company has all the right stuff to become the next super stock? That’s where my Quantum Edge System comes in. | Recommended Link | | | | This one stock has been responsible for gains of 85% in 14 days, 176% in 5 weeks, 41% in two weeks, 120% in 3 months, 138% in 8 days, 186% in 8 days, 222% in 8 days, and many more… Now, millionaire trader Jeff Clark is revealing his strategy for trading this stock PLUS the full name and ticker symbol for FREE. Simply click here right now to watch. |  | | Using the Quantum Score to Invest in AI I use the Quantum Score to weed out the handful of winners from roughly 6,000 stocks each day. Boiled down, the Quantum Score consists of three characteristics a stock must have to be a rare outperformer: - Superior fundamentals. This is the strength of the business. The company must grow sales and earnings, make a profit, manage debt, and other key factors.
- Strong technicals. This is the strength of the stock. It should be trending higher, getting bought (on rising volume), and be among the leaders in its sector.
- Big Money inflows. Institutions don’t play by the same rules as everyday investors. They deploy massive amounts of money that can really disrupt the marketplace for a stock. I designed my Quantum Edge system to “see” when Big Money buys massive amounts of stock, allowing us to ride the same wave.
When these three things align, your odds of picking those extremely rare outperformers go way up. Intuitive Surgical fits the bill with a fantastic overall Quantum Score, supported by strong fundamentals and technicals. 
And looking deeper into my Quantum Edge system, I can see ISRG has five Big Money buy signals already this month, and nine over the last three months. That’s good stuff. Now, let’s look at another biotechnology company that’s leading the way in medical AI but falls short in the rankings: Moderna (MRNA). 
My ideal Quantum Score falls between 70 and 85, so you can see that ISRG is right there while MRNA really misses the mark. Despite being a big name in medicine and artificial intelligence, that score tells me all I need to know, especially when looking at the equally weak fundamentals and technicals. Isn’t it great to get an instantaneous picture of how a stock ranks within a sea of thousands? That is what the Quantum Score is all about. Getting there requires screening millions of data points, which is where quantitative analysis and artificial intelligence-like algorithms and computing power come in. My Quantum Edge system performs an in-depth analysis of more than 6,000 stocks every single trading day – more 120 fundamental and technical variables per stock. And it works. Independent back testing shows the system beat the S&P 500 7-to-1 going back to 1990. That’s why I rely on it every day in my own investing and in the stocks I recommend to my readers. You can, too. My Quantum Edge Pro subscribers have full access to this powerful tool and can instantly score and rank thousands of stocks each day, along with the handpicked recommendations I provide. Click here to learn more. As AI promises to deliver amazing stories and progress, you still need a way to determine which stocks get the attention of your hard-earned money. And that’s what my Quantum Edge System and the Quantum Score can do for you. Talk soon,
