Family, costs are up, inflation is real, and the stock market is down 9% on the year — but that means RIGHT NOW is one of the best times to invest. In this episode, I sat down with my boy Courtney Hale (@Courtney-Hale / Investing Uncomplicated) and he broke down 3 specific investing opportunities for 2026 that most people are completely sleeping on.
We’re talking about industries that are BOOMING because of AI — and the companies that control them.
Here’s what we covered:
1. Memory & Storage Stocks (AI needs memory to run)
Seagate Technologies — Ticker: STX
Western Digital — Ticker: WDC
Sandisk — Ticker: SNDK
2. Nuclear Energy (AI data centers need power 24/7)
Vistra Energy — Ticker: VST
Constellation Energy — Ticker: CEG
Oklo (early stage, backed by Sam Altman/OpenAI) — Ticker: OKLO
3. Mining Stocks (Everything runs on rare minerals)
Agnico Eagle Mining — Ticker: AEM (Courtney’s #1 pick)
Cameco (Uranium mining) — Ticker: CCJ
MP Materials (Rare earth minerals, government-backed) — Ticker: MP
This isn’t about getting rich overnight. This is about planting seeds TODAY so your money is working while you sleep. Dollar cost average. Do your research. And get positioned.
