10 WAYS TO INVEST IN THE AI DATA CENTER BUILDOUT
Data center demand is expected to nearly quadruple to 194 GW by 2035 as AI scales across more users, more tokens per user and more compute per token.
Here are some of my favorite names positioned to benefit:
1. $TSM foundry manufacturing the accelerators, custom chips & networking silicon that nearly the entire AI buildout depends on.
2. $VRT liquid-cooling leader benefiting as rack density rises & AI systems require increasingly advanced thermal management.
3. $NVDA & $AMD accelerator duopoly at center of AI buildout with Nvidia's Vera Rubin entering full production & AMD’s Helios rack-scale systems emerging as a credible second source.
4. $MU & $SKHY memory engines of the AI era with HBM content scaling on every rack with data center margins above Nvidia's at segment level while suppliers themselves forecast shortage running into 2030.
5. $AVGO & $MRVL custom-silicon backbone, designing accelerators, networking chips & hyperscaler ASICs that capture more content across every AI rack.
6. $CRDO & $ALAB high-speed connectivity layer supplying the interconnect that lashes thousands of accelerators into one fabric
7. $OKLO & $SMR next-gen nuclear frontier with Oklo building the "local power plant" targeting microreactors beside data center campuses & NuScale developing larger modular reactors for utility-scale power.
8. $BE, $CEG & $VST provide power behind the AI buildout with Bloom delivering onsite fuel cells that bypass grid delays while Constellation & Vistra supply large-scale nuclear, gas & storage capacity to hyperscalers.
9. $LITE, $COHR & $AAOI optical layer benefiting from the transition from 800G to 1.6T with Lumentum & Coherent as components suppliers Nvidia took equity stakes in to secure next-generation optics capacity while AAOI is ramping U.S.-based 800G transceiver production for hyperscalers.
10. $ASML, $AMAT, $LRCX & $KLAC form equipment layer behind every new fab & packaging line with ASML’s EUV monopoly as ultimate chokepoint & Applied Materials, Lam & KLA supplying the deposition, etch & inspection tools required for every capacity expansion.
Wiz Khalifa says he smokes around 30 joints every single day.
Wiz claims the only long-term side effect is "being cool."
Bobbi Althoff: "How many joints do you smoke in a day?"
Wiz Khalifa: "I'd say like 30."
Bobbi Althoff: "Every day?"
Wiz Khalifa: "Mhm."
Bobbi Althoff: "Are there long-term health risks to doing that?"
Wiz Khalifa: "No. Just being cool as shit."
Bobbi Althoff: "Says who?"
Wiz Khalifa: "Everybody who smokes weed every day is cool as shit."
A man dressed as Spider-Man rushed out of his Jeep to help a wheelchair user safely cross a busy street in Jonesboro, Arkansas. He said he had just gotten off work at a trampoline park still in costume.
🇺🇸 A routine maintenance job turned into a five-hour rescue after a worker was left hanging 130 feet above the ground when the lift he was using broke down atop a gas station sign in Wilmington, Illinois.
Rescuers had to track down a taller lift from a nearby construction site because their own equipment couldn't reach that height.
Illinois State Police escorted it to the scene, and the worker was eventually brought down safely. Amazing job.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump has just stunned the world at NATO by cutting off ALL TRADE with Spain and their socialist leader, RIPPING the traitors for abandoning America
*Looks at his team*: "I don't want to do any more trade with them. IMMEDIATELY. Don't even TALK to them! Hopeless, BAD people."
"Let's see how hostile they are remain they CALL UP and say, 'please, please, we wanna trade with you, sir!'" 🔥
"They make so much money with us. We're gonna see that they make a lot less. I want NO BUSINESS with them."
Spain is led by a socialist! FAFO!

He's clearly been trained on Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee movies... we're doomed 😂
