The Race For AI Supremacy. My Market Watchlist.

Hey! Tim Sykes here,

There’s something BIG happening behind closed doors right now.

This is bigger than the stock market.

Bigger than the U.S. Government.

I’m talking about a global catalyst that will likely affect the trajectory of humanity.

In the last two weeks we’ve learned some groundbreaking news:

  • The U.S. Government and NVIDIA both announced huge investments in Intel to help strengthen the U.S.’ AI foothold.
  • NVIDIA and Microsoft announced another couple billion dollars invested in the UK’s AI infrastructure.
  • All while China bans the purchase of NVIDIA’s chips in its own country.

Lines are being drawn in the sand.

The value of this sector is so extreme that we’re on the verge of declaring national AI allies in an all-out intelligence race.

And after the Fed’s interest rate cut last week, all of these catalysts are converging to form a perfect storm in the market.

We’re already seeing the hottest AI sector from 2024 surge to new all-time highs.

Quantum stocks.

I’m watching a specific setup this week as the momentum reaches a fever pitch.

Watch my video below for all the details:

My Quantum Watchlist

There’s a lot of AI momentum in the market …

But most people are distracted by big names like NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA).

Yes, already in 2025, NVDA rallied 110%*.

It’s an impressive run. But it took months. And at its current share price of around $175, the stock only moves a few percentage points every day.

I’m looking for cheaper stocks that are capable of larger moves in a shorter time frame.

That way, I can take advantage of the larger gains with a shorter exposure to the market.

My trade patterns tell me exactly when to buy and when to sell. All I have to do is point my strategies at the hottest AI stocks.

More Breaking News

There are five main tickers that I’m watching in the quantum sector right now.

From a trading perspective, there isn’t much to distinguish these plays from one another …

  • Some of the quantum stocks that are surging have specific contracts.
  • Some are doing better than others financially.
  • But at their core, these are all momentum plays.

You can tell from the charts below that they’ve followed a very similar framework since their spikes in late 2024.

On all of the charts, every candle represents one trading day.

You probably noticed … Some of these stocks have yet to make new 52-week highs.

There’s a huge opportunity to find positions before these breakouts.

And as for the stocks that already broke out, I’m looking for that momentum to hold above the breakout level. Maybe even bounce off of it.

There are so many trade setups to watch right now!

Let’s take it one at a time, starting with the most time sensitive:

Get all the details of my next AI trade.

This quantum AI sector is ripping higher.

And you’re just in time to find an entry … Don’t wait any longer!

Cheers

The available research on day trading suggests that most active traders lose money. Fees and overtrading are major contributors to these losses.

A 2000 study called “Trading is Hazardous to Your Wealth: The Common Stock Investment Performance of Individual Investors” evaluated 66,465 U.S. households that held stocks from 1991 to 1996. The households that traded most averaged an 11.4% annual return during a period where the overall market gained 17.9%. These lower returns were attributed to overconfidence.

A 2014 paper (revised 2019) titled “Learning Fast or Slow?” analyzed the complete transaction history of the Taiwan Stock Exchange between 1992 and 2006. It looked at the ongoing performance of day traders in this sample, and found that 97% of day traders can expect to lose money from trading, and more than 90% of all day trading volume can be traced to investors who predictably lose money. Additionally, it tied the behavior of gamblers and drivers who get more speeding tickets to overtrading, and cited studies showing that legalized gambling has an inverse effect on trading volume.

A 2019 research study (revised 2020) called “Day Trading for a Living?” observed 19,646 Brazilian futures contract traders who started day trading from 2013 to 2015, and recorded two years of their trading activity. The study authors found that 97% of traders with more than 300 days actively trading lost money, and only 1.1% earned more than the Brazilian minimum wage ($16 USD per day). They hypothesized that the greater returns shown in previous studies did not differentiate between frequent day traders and those who traded rarely, and that more frequent trading activity decreases the chance of profitability.

These studies show the wide variance of the available data on day trading profitability. One thing that seems clear from the research is that most day traders lose money .
