What most folks don’t know about oil (BIG missed opportunity) (Ad)

$1 Trillion… That’s how much Big Tech is set to spend on AI investment in the coming months—according to Goldman Sachs. This investment is driving an A.I. boom that’s being felt across many industries… Including a specific group of energy tickers since A.I. data centers use a massive amount of power. One of those tickers is CEG, up nearly 600% in the last 3 years… Combined with the upcoming presidential election, we have the recipe for a major shakeup in the market. You see, each time the U.S. elects a new president, one overlooked part of the energy sector tends to see a big move. Fact is… this energy niche is BOOMING.

And expects this underappreciated niche to continue rallying well into 2026.
