AI Is Not A Bubble: 4 Income Ideas To Ride The Wave
I remain bullish on AI-driven growth, favoring a diversified, income-oriented portfolio to capture sustained sector upside while mitigating bubble risks. Shifts from R&D to CAPEX among hyperscalers and evolving chip utility support a durable earnings expansion, not just accounting-driven EPS growth. My core AI income sleeve blends STK, SMH, UTG, and BUI, targeting a consistent ~4.2% yield with annual rebalancing for risk control and capital appreciation.
