THE SECRET TO MAKING MILLIONS FROM THE AI TRADE:

Follow the sector ETFs.

Before I touch individual stocks, I want to know where capital is flowing.

Right now I’m watching:

Robotics: $BOTZ
$TSLA $SYM

Copper: $COPX
$FCX $SCCO

Technology: $XLK
$AAPL $INTC

Cloud / Data Infrastructure: $SKYY
$DELL $HPE

These are all pushing into major weekly breakout areas.

If the sector confirms, I look for the strongest names inside it.

Other important ETFs I track:

Semis: $SMH
$NVDA $AMD $AVGO

Memory: $DRAM
$MU $SNDK

Photonics / Optics: $EUV
$COHR $LITE $MRVL $CRDO

Software: $IGV
$PLTR $NOW $ORCL $ZETA

Cybersecurity: $CIBR
$PANW $CRWD

Healthcare: $XLV
$LLY $UNH $MRK

Biotech: $XBI

HPC: $WGMI
$IREN $CORZ $HUT

Nuclear: $NLR
$CCJ $CEG $OKLO

Space / Defense Innovation: $ARKX
$RKLB $KTOS $AVAV

Quantum: $QTUM

Sector first.

Leaders second.
