Greenlight Capital stated the following regarding Teck Resources Limited (NYSE:TECK) in its first quarter 2024 investor letter:

“Finally, we established a medium-sized macro position to benefit from higher copper prices. Long-time partners may recall that in 2021 we presented Teck Resources Limited (NYSE:TECK) at the Sohn Investment Conference. At the time, our thesis was based on a combination of being bullish on copper and believing that TECK was about to exit the penalty box after a multi-year investment in a new copper mine that was on the brink of finally coming online. Back then, TECK traded at C$31.09. Based on copper at $4.50 a pound, we thought the stock was undervalued by half. It has since doubled (and dramatically outperformed copper peer Freeport-McMoRan) and, over time, we have reduced the position into strength.

As we showed on this slide from our 2021 presentation, our thesis was that after several new mines, including TECK’s, there would not be new supply available in the second half of this decade.

Time has passed, the new mines have come online and the anticipated gap between supply and demand is likely to open up in the next year. While we still believe TECK is undervalued should copper prices rise, it is less undervalued than it once was. Our thesis now is that copper supply is about to fall short of demand, forcing prices substantially higher. Once again, we think the best way to invest in that thesis is the most direct way – in this case through options on copper futures.”

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…

This prediction might not be bold at all:
