How to Find the Next 10x Stock Before Everyone Else

The guest discusses how AI can help retail investors compare companies, while noting that it does not by itself create collective influence. He points to the scale and execution demands of Hut 8's Riverbend data center, including its 649 acres and $3.5 billion in non-recourse debt. He also cautions against relying on prediction-market odds and sees a possibility that investors will later judge Opendoor's decline as excessive, despite the understandable reaction to rising Treasury yields.

Key Takeaways

The guest says AI can help retail investors learn about companies and compare competitors, but it does not automatically organize investors into a campaign; online efforts still need someone to lead. Bitcoin’s August finish at $79,000, versus Polymarket’s 3% odds of a $70,000 close, also illustrates that crowd-based signals can be wrong.

Hut 8’s 649-acre Riverbend campus in Louisiana illustrates the scale of the data center buildout, which the guest says requires coordinating complex projects to bring substantial power online economically. He says the company raised $3.5 billion in non-recourse debt for the site rather than diluting shareholders, and frames its potential coordination advantage as something it still needs to demonstrate.

TECHNOLOGY

AI and Investors — The guest argues that AI helps retail investors learn about companies but does not automatically create collective influence. Online campaigns still need someone to take the lead.

“to gather it still needs somebody to kind of want to step up on the soap box and say hey let's do this let's do that…”—

Company Comparisons — The guest says he uses AI to compare companies in crowded fields, examine differences in their approaches, and investigate what advantages one may have over another.

“So, the way that I've used it in my own research is to try to get at the more complicated questions like if you see a space where there are…”—

MARKETS

Nonrecourse Debt — The guest says Hut 8 raised $3.5 billion in non-recourse debt for the Riverbend site instead of diluting shareholders.

“That's the other thing is that they had raised for this one riverband site they raised $ three and a half billion in non-reourse debt instead of diluting their shareholders.”—

FORECASTS

Opendoor Outlook — The guest says Opendoor rose from roughly 70 cents to nearly $11 before struggling afterward. He predicts investors may view the stock as unfairly punished one to three years from now, while noting that the rising 10-year Treasury yield made the market's reaction understandable.

“You know, LA, you know, last year, stock went on a, you know, killer like two year two month run from like 50, you know, well, I got in like…”—

Intro

Companies can reach retail investors through authentic, transparent communication, but AI alone will not organize shareholders; effective collective action still depends on people willing to lead.

Why public companies now care about retail investors

Eric uses AI to compare companies in complex, competitive markets and match different language models to different tasks, rather than expecting simple prompts to reveal the next winning stock.

How Eric uses AI for investment research

Eric describes Hut 8’s 649-acre Riverbend project, emphasizing the enormous power needs, construction coordination, local support, and $3.5 billion in non-recourse financing behind the data center.

Eric says finding conviction in misunderstood stocks takes trial and error, and argues Opendoor may ultimately be seen as unfairly punished despite the understandable concern about rising Treasury yields.

Building conviction on misunderstood stocks

Eric explains how his morning videos evolved from promoting Opendoor to discussing hip-hop business, while his daily routine also tracks markets, rates, and portfolio implications.

Eric’s daily routine & the Drake videos

Eric favors concentrated exposure to smaller growth companies and crypto, but says the key challenge is timing investments near an inflection rather than being right about a story too early.

Portfolio construction, small caps & crypto

Eric says selling requires judging whether the original business thesis has changed, and Bitcoin regime models can help temper his natural optimism and reduce emotional decision-making.

How to know when to sell

Eric’s Bitcoin model identifies bull, mixed, and bear regimes and has issued advance signals around market shifts, though he acknowledges it is not always right.

AI bitcoin model: bull, or bear market?

Eric’s Event Horizon uses AI to identify prediction-market odds that may be too bullish or bearish across topics including crypto, politics, and court decisions.

Beating prediction markets with AI

Eric gives an example where prediction-market odds underestimated Bitcoin’s August rise and concludes that AI can complement, rather than replace, crowd judgment.
