To be clear: I am not a person who is into "stocks", I am a person who is into technology and building the future. Just published this list because multiple friends found it useful already.

Investment Strategies / Beliefs

From my own experience, the delta between innovation in venture capital-backed private companies vs publicly listed companies is insane. Don't fall into the trap of investing in companies like "C3 AI", "Vuzix", "CRISPR Therapeutics" - solely based on their innovative name - actual innovation mostly happens in private markets. Also, don't underestimate how deep the pockets of the private markets are; successful companies don't necessarily need to IPO (see Stripe).

General Artificial Intelligence & Artificial Super Intelligence

• I believe that intelligence is a spectrum where we, as earthly human beings, didn't even start to see a limit; the ability for intelligence to improve is limitless. Don't think of artificial intelligence as a wave - think of intelligence as something fundamental and as something which has unlimited growth potential. Intelligence is different from all other technologies we ever invented (telecommunication, the internet, the smartphone) etc. which all peak at some point.
• Stocks below encompass compute and the development of general AI systems.
• Stocks:
  • 🟢
    • NVIDIA
    • TSMC
    • Alphabet (DeepMind, Googles Datamoat)
    • Amazon (Anthropic Investment & AWS)
    • Microsoft (OpenAI Investment & Azure)
    • Meta (Underrated in that regard)
    • Apple (Underrated in regard of computing)
  • 🟡
    • ARM
    • ASML
    • CARL ZEISS
      • Their mirror technologies are a crucial part of ASML, but stock is underperforming - too little knowledge to know why.

Robotics

• both hardware advancements and their ability to work fully autonomously through AI.
  • Humanoid Robots
    • Tesla
    • Amazon
    • Google
    • XIAOMI
    • Hyundai
      • Owns 80% of Boston Dynamics, also already having large-scale manufacturing facilities & IP
  • Construction Side Robotics
  • Agricultural Robotics
    • John Deere
  • Surgical Robotics
    • Intuitive Surgical (Davinci Robot)
      • PE Ratio: 104.79
        • Seems overvalued at a market cap of $200b$ with $7b$ revenue and $2b$ profit.
  • Teleoperation software for robotics; what's the zoom to teleoperate humans to gather data? This can also be used for customer support in edge cases

Physics Simulation

• Needed for generative hardware intelligence (cursor equivalent for CAD, Biotech, Deeptech), AI scientists, RL training of robots and vehicles.
• Stocks:
• NVIDIA (Nvidia Omniverse is the most advanced physical simulation out there as of right now)
• ANSYS
  • Think they are overvalued at current P/E ratio.
• AUTODESK
• TESLA (60% of their FSD model is in simulation)
• Daussault systems - doesn't look like they are progressing in simulation & AI engineering

Self Driving Cars

• Tesla
• Alphabet (Waymo)
• BYD

Gaming & Entertainment

• Not going anyway, and will continue to grow with more people losing their jobs through automation → having more time, also old people dying and new generations adopting gaming & social networks.
• Meta
• TENCENT
• Activision Blizzard
• Electronics Arts
• Sony
• LOGITECH

Telecommunication

• TESLA (passive investment in Starlink)
• QUALCOMM

• Real-life Entertainment & Luxury
  • AIR BNB
  • Airlines
  • European travel
  • LVMH
  • Prada
  • Hugo Boss
