How to Invest Before ‘AI Day Zero’ – The Biggest Wealth Event Since the Internet

Editor’s Note: Right now, we’re bearing witness to the most important shift in AI since ChatGPT launched in 2022.

AI isn’t just software anymore. It’s stepping off the screen and into the real world.

We’re talking robots in warehouses, autonomous tractors on farms, AI-powered factories… humanoids in your home. 

Louis Navellier, Eric Fry, and I are calling this inflection point “Day Zero” – the dawn of what could be a $20 trillion Physical AI transformation. And we believe it’s creating one of the most explosive investment opportunities of the next decade.

That’s why we put together a brand-new portfolio featuring our top Physical AI stocks – giving folks a chance to get positioned before that enormous wave of wealth consumes Wall Street.

To help explain what’s happening and why the market is still underestimating this shift, I’ve asked Louis to help explain why we’re so bullish in today’s essay.

There is a famous line from the 1967 movie “The Graduate,” when Mr. McGuire gives young Benjamin (played by Dustin Hoffman) some unsolicited career advice: 

McGuire: I want to say one word to you. Just one word. Are you listening?

Benjamin: Yes, I am.

McGuire: Plastics.

Benjamin: Exactly how do you mean?

McGuire: There’s a great future in plastics. Think about it. Will you think about it?

It seemed strange at the time, but McGuire was on to something big.

Thirteen years later, seven of the world’s 10 most valuable companies were oil firms, thanks in no small part to plastic. 

ExxonMobil Corporation (XOM) rose to prominence, converting crude oil into polyethylene, polypropylene, and countless everyday products. Chemical engineers from top Ivy League schools flocked to these firms, drawn by opportunity and innovation.

The 2000 movie “Frequency” includes a time-traveling person who tells his six-year-old childhood friend to remember the “magic word, Yahoo.” That advice eventually turns the friend into a dot-com millionaire. 

Today, we’re facing a similar moment – an opportunity hidden in plain sight. I’m calling it the “Day Zero” moment for artificial intelligence. 

We’ve seen previous waves of tech innovation – and the kinds of life-changing gains they can offer investors. The PC wave, the internet, the iPhone – and now, AI. 

But today, I’m going to explain why I think this next wave of the AI Revolution could be the biggest one yet. I’m talking about Physical AI – where AI steps out into the real world and powers everything from self-driving cars to automated factories to humanoid robots and more. 

Bottom line, you better buckle up, folks. Because the world is about to get a lot more interesting. And the good news is my InvestorPlace colleagues Eric Fry and Luke Lango and I have a handful of ideas for how you can profit.

Let’s dive in.

Why I’m Betting Big on Physical AI

Now, there’s a reason I bring up that line from “The Graduate.”  

I’m a proud dad, of course, and I think my kids have a bright future ahead of them. But this brings me to something I was thinking about recently… 

What advice would I give a young graduate today?

Thinking about this took me back to when my son was studying engineering at Stanford. At the time, the university debuted a self-driving race car named “Shelley,” using chips from NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA).

I was impressed enough to add NVIDIA to the portfolios in two of my premium services back in 2016, at around a split-adjusted price of a dollar. 

Full disclosure, I sold the stock after locking in a solid 274% gain. But when I learned more about NVIDIA’s plans in artificial intelligence in 2019, I jumped back in, and I’ve never looked back. Since then, those shares have soared more than 4,100%.

What’s interesting is NVIDIA’s initial success was powered by video gamers. But when AI researchers began using NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs) to train neural networks, it was a game-changer. 

Practically overnight, NVIDIA became the essential provider of AI hardware. Then, in November 2022, ChatGPT was launched, officially igniting the AI Revolution.

So, if I were giving advice to a young graduate today, I think I’d pass along some wisdom from Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s CEO.

When asked what he would study if he were starting out today, Jensen said it wouldn’t be purely software. Instead, he’d focus on the physical sciences – which is important for the physical side of AI.

But this advice isn’t just for graduates, of course. Investors should pay attention, too. 

Here’s why…
