In every era, there’s one commodity that quietly dictates the balance of economic power. In the 1970s, it was oil. Today, it may well be copper. Copper miners like Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX) are the “high-torque” investor play, writes Nicholas Vardy, editor of Microcap Moonshots.
Training large Artificial Intelligence (AI) models eats through millions in power and compute. That means demand is exploding for silicon carbide chips, thermal cooling systems, high-efficiency power converters — the unsexy but essential backbone of the AI revolution. One stock I like is D-Wave Quantum Inc. (QBTS), writes Nicholas Vardy, editor of Microcap Moonshots.
In a market high on AI hype and $10 billion chip orders, one of the best-performing stocks sells toilet paper in bulk. If you’re judging by long-term ownership, investor trust, and consistent outperformance with zero drama, you might want to look at Costco Wholesale Corp. (COST), advises Nicholas Vardy, editor of The Global Guru.
Copper is not a hype story. It doesn’t rely on moonshot projections or retail euphoria. It’s not optional for the energy transition — it’s foundational. Investors can gain exposure through multiple strategies, including large-cap producers like Freeport-McMoRan Corp. (FCX), writes Nicholas Vardy, editor of The Global Guru.
