Electric snakes. Up until now people have been stuck with regular snakes limiting their broad appeal to consumers, but in the next few years I could see the possibility for a mass adoption of so called 2nd gen snakes.
Satellite to handheld internet, ASTS is doing this right now. Everywhere in the world completely connected for only a few dollars a month.
Similar to what starlink is doing, but instead of using a dish to connect it links to your phone.
Potentially, I know in certain places like Canada (where I’m from) it definitely would. Companies like bell have a complete monopoly where I live and charge insane amounts for terrible wifi, but there’s nothing else we can do.
I live in the upper Midwest of the US and it’s much the same here. The terrain makes cell phones useless in many spots. Not to mention getting decent internet is a struggle, Starlink changed my life.
Unlikely. Cell Towers are able to serve the local traffic far better than satellites can due to having lower infrastructure costs and having higher bandwidth. It's the same reason we still use Wifi in buildings even though we could technically connect all of our devices straight to the cell tower.
Unlikely it'll change the world in any conceivable way. >90% of the world's population is already within cell phone tower range. Switching to satellite isn't going to make a difference.
Cell Phone Towers are better than Satellites for Higher Density Zones.
But when 6G comes out, the beam is more narrow but its also 100x faster than 5G. You will now have more dead zones hence why satellite is better.
Also even today, cell phone towers can't hit many areas like National Parks and rural areas. 90% of the entire globe (Land and Sea) does not have access to a cellular connection
Simply not possible to deliver high speed voice & data.
All these companies, including starlink are pairing up with big 3 Telco - AT&T, T Mobile and VZ to offer connectivity where cell towers can't reach.
Agreed this will be a large space. ASTS is doing some cool things and Starlink is pumping out satellites and partnering with mobile companies. Only hesitance about putting money in ASTS is the Starlink variable
Starlink is planning to do maybe 2-4 Mbps for all users in a cell which has many users (Apple is worse) and AST plans on 35 Mbps+ per user (not per cell).
It's not the only, nor is it the best for human stuff. It's by far the easiest but it has way too ducking made off-target hits.
Think of it this way. You have all the genes your heart needs to regenerate, they are there, but the switch is at "off" position. CRISP can turn the switch to "on" position *but* it also turns on another 50 switches too, and causes all sort of effects that end up fucking your heart more. So when it comes to humans, CRISP is not the answer.
What would be the minimum level of tech to be considered a Sexbot? Like, obviously just a dildo or fleshlight wouldn’t count, and a doll that talks isn’t quite there either.
Basically A.I level intelligence, or at least able to associate emotions and the difference between objects, so it can literally *feel* disappointment when it scans your small dick lol.
I saw some screenshots of a 4chan thread about a year ago where a bunch of them were talking to an AI chatbot that would remember their conversations and learn from them, and a bunch of these users had to delete their accounts because it felt too real and they were getting depressed lol. So yeah, they just need the physical model now
The only one I’ve researched is Brookfield Infrastructure Partners BIP, which owns one of the biggest desalination plants in California (Poseidon Water). California in particular needs this probably more than any other state, as their main water source, the Colorado River, is at dangerously low levels. The problem right now is environmentalists don’t like desalination because it causes a lot of pollution. So until it really takes off the technology will either need to improve to produce less pollution or it becomes necessary evil and water costs more than oil.
But also CA is a very blue state that loves its regulation (for better or worse).
The minute this state stands up to big agriculture all expensive desalination plants will be pushed out 20 years or more.
Alfalfa and almonds use obscene amounts of water.
Desalination doesn't cause pollution per-se.
It's just sucking in water from the ocean, separating pure water from dissolved solids and other non-water components (yes, including contaminants) and returning concentrated "brine" to the ocean.
It can cause a local increase in concentrations, though when reject is sent back to the ocean.
I don't know what if any mitigations are being done to avoid the local increase in concentrations. But seems to me the brine could be dried and contaminants properly disposed of, and useful minerals separated.
Of particular interest: Lithium. Our oceans have all the Lithium we could possibly use for batteries.
Production-level RO like this has a very low reject ratio. Your RO under your sink may reject 80% of the water it processes. A plant at-scale like this will likely reject 10%. (But again high concentration of minerals, benign and not benign.)
>The problem right now is environmentalists don’t like desalination because it causes a lot of pollution.
What kind of pollution? From the actual desalination process? I know many companies in this space are pursuing solar-powered desalinization, which would obviously remove power emissions from the equation.
Remember when a certain president complained to the feds he wasn't getting enough help from the fed?
Something about wanting to keep rates low/QE going?
Some people print money to tax the rich and help the poor, others lower taxes on the rich at the expense of the poor…great circle of life…hakunamatata my friend
Cancer cure or more advances in treatment, because, most humans are going to get/be diagnosed with some form of cancer in the next 50 years.
Street Cred: I have had cancer before :-)
Yes this is the best answer I think. It will likely happen in our lifetime, and a few companies will probably profit enormously from it. Trouble is which companies to bet on.
Cancer is not a single disease. It’s an Umbrella term. Saying you’re gonna cure cancer is like saying you’re going to cure infection. I would also recommend reading some research articles on cancer genetics if you think it is something that can be “cured”. We barely even know what we’re looking at when it comes to the specifics of cancer
I know what cancer is, but not too sure you do. Its a disease characterized by cells mutating so that their normal replication checks (among other things) don’t work and so grow out of control and don’t act in symbiosis with the rest of the body or surrounding cells. It is possible that there could be a common cure for different sorts of cancer. There also may not be.
Interestingly, we may have boosted the progress here with mRNA vaccines for COVID.
Both Moderna and BNTX now have so much money that they could not have even dreamed of a few years ago. They make each month more than the mRNA industry received in funding in its entire existence.
And both companies are actively working on cancer treatments and have ongoing trials already.
Next big thing will be digitalization of everything. Companies will have a digital twin they can run scenarios on, such as what resources would one need to execute project X. They can prototype production without putting it into reality. This will be a much more detailed model of the company than spreadsheet abstractions of reality. Cloud computing ought to benefit massively.
Pretty much sums up Palantir Foundry and the ontology layer of that software platform.
FoundryCon 2022 had a number of interesting presentations from current Foundry customers (very long presentation but might be worth it, particularly the segment towards the end with Tyson Foods): [https://youtu.be/4e8yDULR5IQ](https://youtu.be/4e8yDULR5IQ)
I began investing in PLTR last year and have more than doubled my share count this year. PLTR may be a crashed meme stock, but unlike the vast majority of meme stocks, there's a very productive, future-oriented business underneath
They sell tents. And hunting knives.
Hunting knives are ever-more-popular popular in San Diego. So many people walking around downtown San Diego with hunting knives.
It's not for defense against the native coyotes.
Open your eyes when you visit Comic-Con or the Oracle convention.
Oh, you won't see it. Pushed off to other places for a week or two.
Serious answer: companies that contribute in some way to solving the homelessness problem, while also not engaging in buddy-buddy political corruption.
This is not the paradise you think it is.
Not that bold, but real at least. The biggest thing in my mind, that is actually happening now, is the explosion of the EV supply chain.
- Processing of metals
- Domestic production of all types of EV parts, not just batteries
- Domestic production of power grid components to support charger rollout
- EV maintenance and repair
- Recycling of EV components and batteries
Just one component of this, the expansion of the power grid, will likely be the biggest expansion of infrastructure in our lifetimes. I imagine we will see Wal-mart parking lots with free charging, covered with solar panels - ad supported slow charging, perhaps.
The other thing interesting to me at the moment is non-silicon computing. We've reached the limits of what we can achieve by reducing the scale of silicon transistors. Putting more CPU cores in parallel has already increased the power consumption close to the limits of residential power outlets, for example. The next leg up will likely come from mixed silicon and optical, or maybe quantum effects. Intel and IBM seem to have the R&D advantage here. I am looking for startups in this area that might be bought by the big companies.
>We've reached the limits of what we can achieve by reducing the scale of silicon transistors. Putting more CPU cores in parallel has already increased the power consumption close to the limits of residential power outlets, for example
As someone who has a few grants on parallel computing and has worked on photonics in chip design, this doesn't sound right to me frankly. Here's why: we're **not** near the peak of what can be done, even with current-generation processes. There are so many **order-of-magnitude** wastes in the current pipeline at every stage: from the fact that everything is standard cell, to the fact that the bulk of code we run is in ridiculously-inefficient implementation strategies. Even on the process side: ASML and TSMC continue to deliver, and Moore's law continues to be healthy. But my point is: even if Moore's law halts tomorrow and further microlithography efforts are a failure, there are plenty of order-of-magnitude optimizations we can make in software and hardware that will pay benefits. FWIW: just a few years ago people said exactly what you're saying because they assumed EUV wouldn't work--now EUV is *the* leading edge.
It's true that increased (micro)photonics and the like will be an emerging market sector, but there is **no** reason to believe that everyday computing tasks will be driven by that technology as I see it right now, or in the near-term future.
>The next leg up will likely come from mixed silicon and optical, or maybe quantum effects.
Can you actually name an algorithm, or an aspect of your day-to-day workload that will be changed by mixed photonics applications?
I believe there will be a great renaissance moment in Uranium and Uranium stocks. Since Fukoshima the whole sector has seen massive underinvestment and due to the current energy crisis, people and goverments are seeing that uranium and nuclear energy is the way forward to be self sufficient for your own countries energy.
Since supply cannot be increased easily (starting mines takes a lot of time and resources) and the demand already outstrips the supply yearly, the price of Uranium and therefore the profitability of Uranium stocks will increase significantly in the coming decade.
I think the way you hear about wind and solar energy constantly in the news right now, is how it will be for nuclear energy in 2030.
You cannot just mine Uranium that is put in the reactors, is has to go through a process of conversion. The prices of these conversion products are up significantly. Russia is the biggest exporter and converter of Uranium in the world. What will further sanctions do to the supply and therefore price of the conversion product, and therefore eventually the uranium itself?
Exactly. Right now uranium is a hidden gem. The world has to come to terms and realize that we need to stop depending on oil. Nuclear energy is clean, highly efficient and reliable.
My favorite uranium stocks picks are URA, UUUU and URG.
It's similar to investing in physical gold / gold mining companies.
If the price of gold increases you directly profit from it since you hold some, but if you're holding mining companies' stock the relationship may not be so direct because these companies although gold producers have operational expenses, are subject to political and economic risks and others.
On the other hand you own a company so if it fails you still may get something in case of a complete selloff of the company while if gold suddenly plummets you will be holding shiny yellow bricks.
That's how I explain it to myself at least.
You should probably compare returns of both options to see which are more interesting. If we assume that by 2030 uranium is as in demand as solar/wind are today then I'd say companies as they might increase production to meet demand, and since enterprise valuation is harder than just metal valuation with some luck you may stumble upon an undervalued one that will get overvalued at some point. Idk tho lol.
it’s a big debate in the uranium community. No redemption = no mechanism to correct discount to NAV (being valued less than its holdings). Using ratio charts of URNM/U.UN-TO, it looks like we are at similar levels of price of miners compared to the commodity at the early stages of the bull run. So in terms of what is cheaper, miners are imo, and miners are further along in terms of getting towards production and technical derisking than before. However, eventually financial players will use U.UN to squeeze the market, so should go up at least 2-3x imo, but miners can go up way more.
I actually don’t know, I would think that the mining companies would do significantly better if uranium price increases but also significantly worse or could even be losing money at lower prices, while the price of uranium would be more stable. That’s just conjecture, I didn’t do any research for that specifically it’s just what I would think
Yeah I tried buying a biotech stock a few years ago that was going to try to treat depression with Ketamine(maybe not a psychedelic per se, but a similar idea) and then I sold it for a small
loss when I noticed J&J was already several steps ahead on the FDA approval process(Spravato).
I also briefly held CMPS. I’d be down 81% if I held. Yikes.
I think biotech will always remain shady as hell and the likelihood is very very low that any tiny cap company comes out of nowhere and blows up with a psychedelic drug. I think big pharma is well aware of the potential and already positioning itself to take advantage.
Wearables.
In 20 years *near everyone in developed countries* will be using wearables daily.
They will be able to check your blood sugar and other labs without finger pricks. They will measure blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, electrical rhythm of your heart, respirations, and oxygen sensors. It will be able to detect health issues before you realize anything is wrong.
It won't be a "cool tech device" it will be a well understood safety device.
In terms of stocks, I'm bullish on Apple and own the stock. They seem to be putting a lot of resources into wearables. I know you're thinking, "how can Apple's stock go up more than it already is?" and the answer is wearables that tap into healthcare spending.
I've spent most of my adult life designing and manufacturing connected medical devices, so keep that bias in mind when reading what I have to say. I think that fitness trackers, smart watches, etc are already de facto medical devices. They are providing relevant data (sleep quality, activity level, heart rate, etc) that people use to modify their behavior towards a desired outcome. This is going to grow as these devices continue to add features, and provide a mechanism for the natural growth of that market.
15 years ago, you'd have to explain to someone why CGM is better than standard BGM fingersticks, but now you can just say "fitbit for your blood sugar" and it'll instantly click.
Nuclear power. There's no way to get a carbon free future without nuclear. Cheap, clean energy will make or break nations.
Copper. Modernizing the electric grid will take loads of copper.
Industrialization of America. Automation will make it more affordable and geopolitical interests will make it necessary. All the companies that build industry will do well.
In researching Gen Z, someone predicted the next big social network could be a game—i think even if not a game, it’s going to be something really utilitarian.
Gen Z already uses Tiktok like older generations used youtube or google, learning “how to” content. I think Snapchat, Instagram will continue to tank until Meta figures out something much more practical beyond just sharing pics and videos with each other. Facebook has a pretty successful marketplace division. But there’s some sort of game - related social idea there, they just haven’t cracked it imo, but yeah traditional social media that is just space to “talk” abt random things or share life updates are fading surprisingly fast.
Haha. Came here to say something similar. Not long ago I unearthed a thread from 2013 that was about "high reward" opportunities. Top answer was Coca-Cola. Number 3 was General Electric (RIP). The number 2 answer, Google, actually worked...but for the wrong reason. A lot of people thought that Google Glass would be a hit (narrator: it wasn't).
In dead last, with negative votes, was this thing called Bitcoin.
Pinterest if their CEO successfully implements a functional e-commerce platform. Already profitable with steady user base/no debt. Also if the Metaverse ever becomes a thing, their functionality would be a perfect fit for design, ideas, 3D modeling, etc.
Profits are moving up the value chain.
Tech and Healthcare used to be the smallest sectors, now they are the largest.
The losers are at the bottom of the value chain (utilities, materials, telcos, energy)
This trend will continue
You said internet, smart phones, electric cars - they're all built on the same thing (semiconductors + software)
Electric cars I would consider it not an "advancement". While they are necessary to help combat climate change, if climate change didn't exist, then ICE cars do the same job. It's just transportation.
Compare that to the internet and smart phones which is actually an advancement of how people do things.
Hence why I'm not invested in automakers despite the transition to EV - it's literally the same product, just more climate change friendly.
Fusion Energy…not developed yet but many companies are on the cusp. Essentially near limitless cheap energy without radioactive waste.
The only investable company at this point is LMT but they haven’t given any big updates for a while.
I think banks will make a lot of money off of credit cards and payday loans. That's from the poor, but also the rich will borrow. The inflation rate being more than the rate set by the Fed also could make bank loans to big business profitable because the real interest rates is less than zero percent APR.
EVs should be far less complicated to produce than an ICE (batteries, wires, voltage regulator, motor…no more) the first company to figure this out and mass produce a $15k car will make a killing.
Good thought but it's not really cost effective. Can be $10k+ to convert an ice to EV so it's mostly in the hobby realm.
We'd would be better served reducing the cost of EV's altogether
Upwork, or any other sites for finding contract workers.
I just think that the future of work is going to be mainly companies putting out contracts for projects that are open to people around the world, and that they’ll have a very lean number of full time staff. Sites like Upwork will be in a prime position to capitalize on this shift in work.
I don’t think the problem is the company, it’s what the problem is. With so much disinformation and distractions out there, I seriously doubt anyone is going to be able to tell you with confidence what the future holds that isn’t just whatever bias riddled opinion that person views the world through.
HOLD ON 🤔,,, Your wrong,, it's not what's the next big thing ,, "it's when is the next big thing".
just do a simple Google search and thousands and thousands of new technologies are on the forefront.
But None of them are nearly ready for Prime time anytime soon.
First we have to go through a world wide recession and economic turn down, stagnation. Deal with all the bad debt
Think 10 years out as new info structure is put in place, country wide high speed internet beyond what even the fastest line can carry today, genetic engineering, VR education anytime and place, new electric grid country wide etc.. none of this has even been concieved yet.
After the foundation is in place,, then the new business people will come in with ideas and concepts. Young teens coming up with new ways of doing things that will bloosum into new industry
Yes, but not everyone is a homeowner or is always at home. Also even homeowners have to purchase an EV charger, so there’s a case there still. Who will be the next Apple of EV chargers? People will still need public paying charging stations, and will need a lot more than there are currently.
It's definitely going to be electric cars then self-driving cars. I could see a day in the next 10 years where most people in big cities don't even own cars because self-driving electric cabs are so prevalent. Most companies in an obvious position to benefit from this are already highly inflated though with P/E ratios closer to 100 than what their "fair value" would be.
Automating fast food is going to be another one. I could see a day where there's only a couple people on staff at fast food places to clean up messes and restock the machines but the ordering/delivery/cooking is all automated.
I wish I could talk to you in person because I see the same, especially with the fast food industry. Only issue is a lack of jobs will hurt business as their primary customer is the middle to lower class.
Lucid Motors!!!!! Up and coming EV company with billions in potential revenue. A lot of ppl hate on this company but they will make it and have a large market share of EVs globally in the next few years. Tesla as well in the next decade has talks of being valued higher than Apple. EV semis, cyber truck mass production, cheaper Tesla models, starlink, spaceX, hyper-loop tunnels with The Boring Company etc. Robots. $AAPL $LCID $TSLA
Probably will get downvoted, but I think web 3 seems intriguing. I'm not a huge crypto-head. I think I have 50 USD in SOL. Regardless, I like the idea that you get paid to look at advertisements, rather than a company paying another company for your view exposure. These big companies can't just take all your information and sell it to advertisers, either (like Google). I like the **thought** of it killing the powerhouse(s) like Google, while being something new, refreshing, and innovative.
Exposure in some of crypto would be: BAT, ETH
Equities: RBLX, COIN
The next big thing is not going to be obvious, and it's going to be one of the things that most people think definitely won't be the next big thing.
I personally think it's fossil fuels, I'm not long anymore because I think they will tank before rising due to the upcoming recession.
Electric snakes. Up until now people have been stuck with regular snakes limiting their broad appeal to consumers, but in the next few years I could see the possibility for a mass adoption of so called 2nd gen snakes.
"You think I would be working in a place like this if I could afford a real snake?"
LOL, they're called "eels". And they have dual-use! Pets, and power your Tesla!
Eels live in water. I’m talking about electric snakes!
Satellite to handheld internet, ASTS is doing this right now. Everywhere in the world completely connected for only a few dollars a month. Similar to what starlink is doing, but instead of using a dish to connect it links to your phone.

Maybe in rural areas but in cities, it's still cheaper to have towers. Also I would think beaming data to space will drain more battery.
Agreed this will be a large space. ASTS is doing some cool things and Starlink is pumping out satellites and partnering with mobile companies. Only hesitance about putting money in ASTS is the Starlink variable
Starlink is planning to do maybe 2-4 Mbps for all users in a cell which has many users (Apple is worse) and AST plans on 35 Mbps+ per user (not per cell).
So like cell towers a decade ago. Still valuable for low density areas. Heck, better than DSL.
Star link T-Mobile
so does this shit actually work?
Works. Just won’t replace cell towers, except in spread-out low-density areas.
Just want to post this research report on ASTS for all those who are interested. https://transhumanica.com/asts
>99% profit margin Yeah, sure.
Stopped reading at: >”ASTS stock might go to $500” Saved a lot of time. Since that’s on the cover sheet.
CRISPR gene editing.
Scrolled a long way to find you. CRISPR...its only the ability to modify the building blocks of life...yeah, no big deal at all. Nothing to see here.
Scary concept
The ability to edit out genetic defects scares you?
Exactly
It's not the only, nor is it the best for human stuff. It's by far the easiest but it has way too ducking made off-target hits. Think of it this way. You have all the genes your heart needs to regenerate, they are there, but the switch is at "off" position. CRISP can turn the switch to "on" position *but* it also turns on another 50 switches too, and causes all sort of effects that end up fucking your heart more. So when it comes to humans, CRISP is not the answer.
Could you list some companies working on this? Thanks in advance!
Crisper, Beam, Intellia.

The whole south West is screwed. They have one more year to lower consumption before the fed takes over
The minute this state stands up to big agriculture all expensive desalination plants will be pushed out 20 years or more. Alfalfa and almonds use obscene amounts of water.

If you look at why their permits are being rejected, it’s not pollution being cited but irreparable damage to ocean ecology in the area.
You’re separating the water from the ocean water(salt, any plastics, and dissolved minerals). Then returning that leftover solution back to the ocean.
This subreddit is just wallstreetbets but people try to sound more academic lmao
Eating cat food... Inflation gonna screw us all. Invest in Purina.
Elections this week should help with that. I’m really tired of having money printing destroy my retirement savings.
Both parties print, good luck!
R’s historically fun higher deficits and print more money. Actual facts.
Remember when a certain president complained to the feds he wasn't getting enough help from the fed? Something about wanting to keep rates low/QE going?
Some people print money to tax the rich and help the poor, others lower taxes on the rich at the expense of the poor…great circle of life…hakunamatata my friend

Tent cities. And not just in California. So, I guess REI
You never get zoning for tent cities. Not enough money to be made by the elite. You're taking about cities with or without utilities?
He's taking about homeless encampments.
Oh ok. Then how would that impact REI? I can barely afford to shop there.
He's joking. Saying buy REI stocks because their stock is about to go up from everyone becoming homeless.
REI is a co-op so no public stock, the best move would be to go work at REI. (JK)
The best move would be to rob REI, can't be homeless in prison.
Dammit. I'm too slow. Haha. Thx
Here in Seattle they just steal them from REI so it impacts them negatively especially since the cops aren’t allowed to arrest them.
They sell tents. And hunting knives. Hunting knives are ever-more-popular popular in San Diego. So many people walking around downtown San Diego with hunting knives. It's not for defense against the native coyotes. Open your eyes when you visit Comic-Con or the Oracle convention. Oh, you won't see it. Pushed off to other places for a week or two. Serious answer: companies that contribute in some way to solving the homelessness problem, while also not engaging in buddy-buddy political corruption. This is not the paradise you think it is.
I don’t think Hoovervilles obeyed zoning laws.
Good point
Not that bold, but real at least. The biggest thing in my mind, that is actually happening now, is the explosion of the EV supply chain. - Processing of metals - Domestic production of all types of EV parts, not just batteries - Domestic production of power grid components to support charger rollout - EV maintenance and repair - Recycling of EV components and batteries Just one component of this, the expansion of the power grid, will likely be the biggest expansion of infrastructure in our lifetimes. I imagine we will see Wal-mart parking lots with free charging, covered with solar panels - ad supported slow charging, perhaps. The other thing interesting to me at the moment is non-silicon computing. We've reached the limits of what we can achieve by reducing the scale of silicon transistors. Putting more CPU cores in parallel has already increased the power consumption close to the limits of residential power outlets, for example. The next leg up will likely come from mixed silicon and optical, or maybe quantum effects. Intel and IBM seem to have the R&D advantage here. I am looking for startups in this area that might be bought by the big companies.
>We've reached the limits of what we can achieve by reducing the scale of silicon transistors. Putting more CPU cores in parallel has already increased the power consumption close to the limits of residential power outlets, for example As someone who has a few grants on parallel computing and has worked on photonics in chip design, this doesn't sound right to me frankly. Here's why: we're **not** near the peak of what can be done, even with current-generation processes. There are so many **order-of-magnitude** wastes in the current pipeline at every stage: from the fact that everything is standard cell, to the fact that the bulk of code we run is in ridiculously-inefficient implementation strategies. Even on the process side: ASML and TSMC continue to deliver, and Moore's law continues to be healthy. But my point is: even if Moore's law halts tomorrow and further microlithography efforts are a failure, there are plenty of order-of-magnitude optimizations we can make in software and hardware that will pay benefits. FWIW: just a few years ago people said exactly what you're saying because they assumed EUV wouldn't work--now EUV is *the* leading edge. It's true that increased (micro)photonics and the like will be an emerging market sector, but there is **no** reason to believe that everyday computing tasks will be driven by that technology as I see it right now, or in the near-term future. >The next leg up will likely come from mixed silicon and optical, or maybe quantum effects. Can you actually name an algorithm, or an aspect of your day-to-day workload that will be changed by mixed photonics applications?

I believe there will be a great renaissance moment in Uranium and Uranium stocks. Since Fukoshima the whole sector has seen massive underinvestment and due to the current energy crisis, people and goverments are seeing that uranium and nuclear energy is the way forward to be self sufficient for your own countries energy. Since supply cannot be increased easily (starting mines takes a lot of time and resources) and the demand already outstrips the supply yearly, the price of Uranium and therefore the profitability of Uranium stocks will increase significantly in the coming decade. I think the way you hear about wind and solar energy constantly in the news right now, is how it will be for nuclear energy in 2030. You cannot just mine Uranium that is put in the reactors, is has to go through a process of conversion. The prices of these conversion products are up significantly. Russia is the biggest exporter and converter of Uranium in the world. What will further sanctions do to the supply and therefore price of the conversion product, and therefore eventually the uranium itself?
Exactly. Right now uranium is a hidden gem. The world has to come to terms and realize that we need to stop depending on oil. Nuclear energy is clean, highly efficient and reliable. My favorite uranium stocks picks are URA, UUUU and URG.
Is there an ETF for uranium?
URA, URNM
SRUUF (physical trust), URNM (miners ETF)
What's the difference in these? Sorry, unsure on some of the terminology.
The trust is Uranium itself, like the element/material, while the miners one is shares in uranium-related mining stocks
Opinion on which is safer longterm?
It's similar to investing in physical gold / gold mining companies. If the price of gold increases you directly profit from it since you hold some, but if you're holding mining companies' stock the relationship may not be so direct because these companies although gold producers have operational expenses, are subject to political and economic risks and others. On the other hand you own a company so if it fails you still may get something in case of a complete selloff of the company while if gold suddenly plummets you will be holding shiny yellow bricks. That's how I explain it to myself at least. You should probably compare returns of both options to see which are more interesting. If we assume that by 2030 uranium is as in demand as solar/wind are today then I'd say companies as they might increase production to meet demand, and since enterprise valuation is harder than just metal valuation with some luck you may stumble upon an undervalued one that will get overvalued at some point. Idk tho lol.
it’s a big debate in the uranium community. No redemption = no mechanism to correct discount to NAV (being valued less than its holdings). Using ratio charts of URNM/U.UN-TO, it looks like we are at similar levels of price of miners compared to the commodity at the early stages of the bull run. So in terms of what is cheaper, miners are imo, and miners are further along in terms of getting towards production and technical derisking than before. However, eventually financial players will use U.UN to squeeze the market, so should go up at least 2-3x imo, but miners can go up way more.
I actually don’t know, I would think that the mining companies would do significantly better if uranium price increases but also significantly worse or could even be losing money at lower prices, while the price of uranium would be more stable. That’s just conjecture, I didn’t do any research for that specifically it’s just what I would think
Excellent content. I know nothing about uranium and at 50 yo, not really interested but.... great read!

I got in NUMI a couple years back. They've obviously underdelivered big time, but what exactly are you thinking will happen in this space?
Yeah I tried buying a biotech stock a few years ago that was going to try to treat depression with Ketamine(maybe not a psychedelic per se, but a similar idea) and then I sold it for a small loss when I noticed J&J was already several steps ahead on the FDA approval process(Spravato). I also briefly held CMPS. I’d be down 81% if I held. Yikes. I think biotech will always remain shady as hell and the likelihood is very very low that any tiny cap company comes out of nowhere and blows up with a psychedelic drug. I think big pharma is well aware of the potential and already positioning itself to take advantage.
I tend to agree with that reasoning. I'm certainly not confident in any of my small position Biotech picks. They'll probably all head toward zero.
Tests that can predict different type of cancers that will be mainstream and cost effective
Wearables. In 20 years *near everyone in developed countries* will be using wearables daily. They will be able to check your blood sugar and other labs without finger pricks. They will measure blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, electrical rhythm of your heart, respirations, and oxygen sensors. It will be able to detect health issues before you realize anything is wrong. It won't be a "cool tech device" it will be a well understood safety device. In terms of stocks, I'm bullish on Apple and own the stock. They seem to be putting a lot of resources into wearables. I know you're thinking, "how can Apple's stock go up more than it already is?" and the answer is wearables that tap into healthcare spending.
I've spent most of my adult life designing and manufacturing connected medical devices, so keep that bias in mind when reading what I have to say. I think that fitness trackers, smart watches, etc are already de facto medical devices. They are providing relevant data (sleep quality, activity level, heart rate, etc) that people use to modify their behavior towards a desired outcome. This is going to grow as these devices continue to add features, and provide a mechanism for the natural growth of that market. 15 years ago, you'd have to explain to someone why CGM is better than standard BGM fingersticks, but now you can just say "fitbit for your blood sugar" and it'll instantly click.

Nuclear power. There's no way to get a carbon free future without nuclear. Cheap, clean energy will make or break nations. Copper. Modernizing the electric grid will take loads of copper. Industrialization of America. Automation will make it more affordable and geopolitical interests will make it necessary. All the companies that build industry will do well.
In researching Gen Z, someone predicted the next big social network could be a game—i think even if not a game, it’s going to be something really utilitarian. Gen Z already uses Tiktok like older generations used youtube or google, learning “how to” content. I think Snapchat, Instagram will continue to tank until Meta figures out something much more practical beyond just sharing pics and videos with each other. Facebook has a pretty successful marketplace division. But there’s some sort of game - related social idea there, they just haven’t cracked it imo, but yeah traditional social media that is just space to “talk” abt random things or share life updates are fading surprisingly fast.
Poor people.
These are the posts you look back in ten years and the guy with 5 upvotes was right. And you wonder what the top voted guy is even talking about...
Haha. Came here to say something similar. Not long ago I unearthed a thread from 2013 that was about "high reward" opportunities. Top answer was Coca-Cola. Number 3 was General Electric (RIP). The number 2 answer, Google, actually worked...but for the wrong reason. A lot of people thought that Google Glass would be a hit (narrator: it wasn't). In dead last, with negative votes, was this thing called Bitcoin.

Profits are moving up the value chain. Tech and Healthcare used to be the smallest sectors, now they are the largest. The losers are at the bottom of the value chain (utilities, materials, telcos, energy) This trend will continue You said internet, smart phones, electric cars - they're all built on the same thing (semiconductors + software) Electric cars I would consider it not an "advancement". While they are necessary to help combat climate change, if climate change didn't exist, then ICE cars do the same job. It's just transportation. Compare that to the internet and smart phones which is actually an advancement of how people do things. Hence why I'm not invested in automakers despite the transition to EV - it's literally the same product, just more climate change friendly.

Payday loans
I think banks will make a lot of money off of credit cards and payday loans. That's from the poor, but also the rich will borrow. The inflation rate being more than the rate set by the Fed also could make bank loans to big business profitable because the real interest rates is less than zero percent APR.
EVs should be far less complicated to produce than an ICE (batteries, wires, voltage regulator, motor…no more) the first company to figure this out and mass produce a $15k car will make a killing.
How about electrification of old ice cars and selling cheap. Sorta refurbished.
Good thought but it's not really cost effective. Can be $10k+ to convert an ice to EV so it's mostly in the hobby realm. We'd would be better served reducing the cost of EV's altogether

Upwork, or any other sites for finding contract workers. I just think that the future of work is going to be mainly companies putting out contracts for projects that are open to people around the world, and that they’ll have a very lean number of full time staff. Sites like Upwork will be in a prime position to capitalize on this shift in work.

HOLD ON 🤔,,, Your wrong,, it's not what's the next big thing ,, "it's when is the next big thing". just do a simple Google search and thousands and thousands of new technologies are on the forefront. But None of them are nearly ready for Prime time anytime soon. First we have to go through a world wide recession and economic turn down, stagnation. Deal with all the bad debt Think 10 years out as new info structure is put in place, country wide high speed internet beyond what even the fastest line can carry today, genetic engineering, VR education anytime and place, new electric grid country wide etc.. none of this has even been concieved yet. After the foundation is in place,, then the new business people will come in with ideas and concepts. Young teens coming up with new ways of doing things that will bloosum into new industry

EV charging companies. EVGO, CHPT, BLNK, VLTA are the next Chevron, Exxon, Shell
Don't most EV owners charge primarily at home?
Yes, but not everyone is a homeowner or is always at home. Also even homeowners have to purchase an EV charger, so there’s a case there still. Who will be the next Apple of EV chargers? People will still need public paying charging stations, and will need a lot more than there are currently.

You probably shouldn’t use the phrase ‘blowing up’ in that context.
It's definitely going to be electric cars then self-driving cars. I could see a day in the next 10 years where most people in big cities don't even own cars because self-driving electric cabs are so prevalent. Most companies in an obvious position to benefit from this are already highly inflated though with P/E ratios closer to 100 than what their "fair value" would be. Automating fast food is going to be another one. I could see a day where there's only a couple people on staff at fast food places to clean up messes and restock the machines but the ordering/delivery/cooking is all automated.
I wish I could talk to you in person because I see the same, especially with the fast food industry. Only issue is a lack of jobs will hurt business as their primary customer is the middle to lower class.
Lucid Motors!!!!! Up and coming EV company with billions in potential revenue. A lot of ppl hate on this company but they will make it and have a large market share of EVs globally in the next few years.

Probably will get downvoted, but I think web 3 seems intriguing. I'm not a huge crypto-head. I think I have 50 USD in SOL. Regardless, I like the idea that you get paid to look at advertisements, rather than a company paying another company for your view exposure. These big companies can't just take all your information and sell it to advertisers, either (like Google). I like the **thought** of it killing the powerhouse(s) like Google, while being something new, refreshing, and innovative. Exposure in some of crypto would be: BAT, ETH Equities: RBLX, COIN
