In this video, you'll hear why Thomas believes the AI disruption fears didn't play out, how AI is driving demand for cybersecurity, what the AI data center build-out means for earnings, why a shift to inference is boosting the chip leaders, and how the midterm elections could add volatility to earnings reactions.

Thomas got his start with the markets while working as a Chef. In 2005 a chance invitation to attend the seminar “How To Buy And Sell Your Own Stocks” altered his worldview. Soon trading and stocks consumed his every waking moment to the point of excluding all else. Thomas now enjoys a much different lifestyle engaged in his true passion, uncovering great investments.
