The Investing for Beginners Podcast outlined a three-tier framework for AI investing: semiconductors, major infrastructure, and AI companies. They recommend focusing on structural chokepoints in semiconductors (TSMC, ASML) and cloud infrastructure (Amazon, Microsoft, Google) rather than betting on AI firms like OpenAI or Anthropic, which are harder to evaluate.
