18 August 2025

We dive deep into Coatue Management's newly published list of 40 companies they believe are best positioned to dominate the AI and tech-driven world by 2030. With $60 billion under management, these guys move markets!

📊 Coatue's Investment Methodology - top 150 tech companies, compounding returns filter, and excluding multiple compression. Is this the right way to find tomorrow's winners? 🏆 Spotting the Next Decade's Winners, from SpaceX ($870B projected) to Oracle's surprising comeback story. 🚀 Can AI solve the national debt crisis? We dissect Coatue's bold theory that AI will trigger deflation, lower interest rates, and ignite GDP growth. ⚡ Nuclear, solar, and energy storage companies positioned to power the AI boom. Plus Krzysztof's new Bloom Energy position and Luke's nuclear reactor timing lessons. 💡 The AI boom needs a colossal amount of energy. Coatue reveals the nuclear, solar, and energy storage plays poised to power the future. 📈 The market crashes about once a decade. We analyze historical cycles to give you a playbook for navigating the inevitable turbulence and coming out on top. 🎯 Alphabet is excluded from Coatue's list. Is this a massive oversight or do they see something we don't? $GOOG $GOOGL 🧠 Why being a small investor is a secret superpower, and how Luke used it to score a 15x return, crushing Coatue's 6x performance.
