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.
