Description

Can AI stocks beat Big Tech? In this episode, I discuss OpenAI and its decision to expand a secondary share sale that lets insiders sell about $10.3 billion of stock at roughly a $500 billion valuation. Although skeptical at first, the calculations reveal there is a path for OpenAI to deliver outsized returns.

I cover:

(0:00 ) The $500B question 

(01:11 ) Why the Nasdaq Index is the benchmark 

(03:35 ) Inside the OpenAI-Microsoft deal 

(05:50 ) The bull case: OpenAI’s trillion-dollar path 

(09:33 ) The AI market explosion 

(12:39 ) The bear case: Competition and constraints 

(17:13 ) Exploring the models of tomorrow 

(20:58 ) The disruption premium 

(23:21 ) Where will OpenAI’s revenue come from? 

(29:14 ) The final verdict
