The AI Stock You Need to Watch Right Now (It's Not Nvidia)
Join Ross’s Patreon Community for exclusive content and LIVE events https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheRealRossMandell?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross delivers a deep dive into Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) and explains why he believes Micron stock could be one of the most overlooked AI stocks in the market. While Nvidia and other semiconductor companies dominate the artificial intelligence conversation, Ross argues that the AI revolution cannot function without one critical component: memory. He breaks down Micron’s role in the booming AI infrastructure market, why high-bandwidth memory (HBM) has become essential for advanced AI processors and data centers, and why increasing demand for memory could fundamentally change the way Wall Street values Micron. Ross examines the history of MU stock, Micron’s highly cyclical past, and why the current AI memory boom may represent something different from previous semiconductor cycles. He explains how HBM, DRAM, AI servers, data centers, AI PCs, smartphones, autonomous vehicles, and robotics are creating massive new demand for advanced memory. Ross also discusses the relationship between supply constraints and pricing power, why semiconductor manufacturing capacity cannot be expanded overnight, and how Micron could benefit as AI infrastructure spending continues to accelerate. He also explains why the AI investment opportunity goes far beyond Nvidia and why companies supplying the critical infrastructure behind artificial intelligence may become some of the biggest winners of the AI boom. Finally, Ross breaks down his bullish Micron stock analysis while addressing the risks investors need to understand ahead of Micron’s upcoming earnings. He discusses competition from SK Hynix and Samsung, the risks of semiconductor oversupply, geopolitical exposure, capital expenditures, HBM adoption, pricing, margins, and the dangers of chasing a stock simply because its price has already moved higher. Ross explains what he will be watching in Micron earnings, why investors should focus on future demand and economics rather than a single quarterly number, and why he believes AI may have permanently increased the strategic importance of memory. For investors researching Micron stock, MU stock prediction, AI stocks, semiconductor stocks, HBM memory, Nvidia alternatives, Micron earnings, and artificial intelligence investing, this episode breaks down the bull case, the risks, and the long-term opportunity. Topics Covered Micron stock analysis and MU stock outlook Why Micron could be an overlooked AI stock Micron Technology and the artificial intelligence revolution Why AI needs high-bandwidth memory (HBM) Ross Mandell’s bullish thesis on Micron Why Wall Street may need to revalue Micron The future of MU stock and AI memory demand Artificial intelligence stocks and semiconductor investing Why “where intelligence goes, memory follows” This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute financial or investment advice. 🔗 Links & Resources 📌 Book A Call With Ross https://buy.stripe.com/9B64gydlh4dJfhXecP5Vu08 📲 Follow Ross Mandell on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/rossmandell/ ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 — Micron Stock: The Overlooked AI Memory Opportunity 02:34 — Micron Stock History: Booms, Crashes and Memory Cycles 05:00 — AI Changes Everything: HBM Memory Explained 07:10 — Micron Earnings, Revenue Growth and Profit Margins 08:47 — Why the AI Boom Is Bigger Than Nvidia 11:44 — Market Risks, AI Valuations and September Volatility 13:02 — Micron Risks: Samsung, SK Hynix, Oversupply and Taiwan 14:07 — What Ross Is Watching in Micron’s September 30 Earnings 15:33 — Ross Mandell’s Bullish Micron Stock Thesis 17:51 — The AI Gold Rush: Why Micron Could Be a Major Winner Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

IONQ Stock Analysis: Don't Buy Until You See This
Join Ross’s Patreon Community for exclusive content and LIVE events https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheRealRossMandell?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross delivers a deep IONQ stock analysis and explains why he believes IonQ could become one of the most important quantum computing companies in the market. Ross traces IonQ’s story from the early development of trapped-ion quantum computing to becoming the first publicly traded pure-play quantum computing company. He also explains why IONQ stock has experienced extreme volatility, falling from roughly $31 to near $3 before eventually recovering, and why he believes investors need to separate short-term stock price movements from the long-term potential of quantum computing technology. Ross breaks down how IonQ’s trapped-ion quantum computers differ from the superconducting systems being developed by companies such as IBM and Google, including IonQ’s focus on qubit fidelity, connectivity, error correction, and scalability. He also examines IonQ’s aggressive expansion strategy, including its acquisitions of Oxford Ionics, SkyWater Technology, ID Quantique, Capella Space, Vector Atomic, and other companies designed to build a vertically integrated quantum computing ecosystem. Ross discusses IonQ’s reported revenue growth, cash position, government and defense-related work, semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, DARPA contract, and the company’s roadmap toward significantly larger quantum processors. Finally, Ross gives his IONQ stock prediction and explains why his high-end price target is $100, while also addressing the substantial risks facing investors. IonQ continues to lose significant amounts of money, dilution remains a concern, valuations are aggressive, and the stock has already demonstrated that it can move 40% or more in a short period of time. Ross also discusses Q-Day, quantum encryption, cybersecurity, quantum computing stocks, position sizing, long-term investing, and why he believes the greatest opportunity may exist during the period when a transformative technology is real but the market still questions whether it will succeed. This episode is essential viewing for investors researching IONQ stock, quantum computing stocks, IONQ stock predictions, quantum computing investing, and the future of computing. Topics Covered IONQ stock analysis and IONQ stock prediction Could IONQ stock reach $100? Ross Mandell’s long-term IonQ investment thesis What quantum computing actually does Trapped-ion quantum computing explained IonQ vs. IBM and Google quantum computers Why qubit fidelity matters Quantum optimization, logistics and climate modeling Risks of investing in quantum computing stocks IONQ stock volatility, dilution and valuation Position sizing and long-term investment strategy Why Ross believes IonQ could become a generational technology company The future of IONQ, quantum computing and quantum stocks About Ross Mandell: Ross Mandell is a former Wall Street professional, entrepreneur, author, and capital formation expert.

The Most Underestimated AI Stock Isn’t Nvidia — It’s Amazon
Join Ross’s Patreon Community for exclusive content and LIVE events https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheRealRossMandell?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down why he believes Amazon stock (AMZN) may be one of the most underestimated artificial intelligence stocks in the market. While investors continue focusing on Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, and other major AI stocks, Ross argues that Amazon is quietly building an AI ecosystem across Amazon Web Services (AWS), cloud computing, artificial intelligence infrastructure, proprietary AI chips, advertising, logistics, and autonomous transportation. He explains why looking at Amazon as simply an e-commerce company could cause investors to miss the much larger investment story developing beneath the surface. Ross takes a deeper look at AWS growth, Amazon’s AI infrastructure spending, Anthropic and Claude, Amazon Bedrock, Trainium and Graviton chips, and the enormous demand for cloud computing created by the AI boom. He explains how Amazon’s investment in Anthropic could potentially create value across several layers at once—from its ownership interest in the AI company to Anthropic purchasing AWS computing capacity and using Amazon’s custom chips. Ross also examines Amazon’s growing advertising business, operating income, capital expenditures, free cash flow, and the key financial metrics investors should watch when evaluating AMZN stock beyond headline earnings. Finally, Ross explains why he remains bullish on Amazon while also addressing the risks facing the company, including massive AI capital expenditures, competition from Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, changing Anthropic valuations, economic weakness, and the possibility of slower AWS growth. He discusses potential Amazon stock price targets, the importance of distinguishing a temporary stock pullback from deterioration in the underlying business, and why Amazon could become a major “picks and shovels” winner of the AI revolution. For investors searching for Amazon stock analysis, AMZN stock predictions, AI stocks to watch, AWS growth, Anthropic stock exposure, or long-term technology investing, this episode offers Ross Mandell’s full investment thesis on one of Wall Street’s biggest companies. Topics Covered Amazon stock analysis and the long-term AMZN investment thesis Why Amazon could be an underestimated AI stock Amazon vs. Nvidia, Microsoft and Alphabet in artificial intelligence Amazon Web Services (AWS) growth and profitability How AI demand is driving cloud computing and data-center expansion Amazon’s massive investment in AI infrastructure Amazon’s investment in Anthropic Anthropic, Claude AI and Amazon Web Services How Amazon Bedrock fits into the generative AI ecosystem Amazon Trainium AI chips and Graviton processors Why Amazon wants alternatives to complete dependence on Nvidia chips AWS contracted demand and Amazon’s capital expenditures Amazon operating income, earnings quality and free cash flow Amazon’s rapidly growing advertising business Zoox, robotaxis and autonomous transportation Amazon vs. Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Risks facing Amazon and AWS investors Amazon stock valuation and potential price targets Why stock pullbacks can create investment opportunities Ross Mandell’s outlook for Amazon stock and the AI boom About Ross Mandell: Ross Mandell is a former Wall Street professional, entrepreneur, author, and capital formation expert.

What If Anthropic's $2T IPO Fails? The AI Bubble's Worst Nightmare
In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down the massive question surrounding Anthropic’s potential $2 trillion IPO: is this the next great AI company going public, or is the AI bubble about to burst? With investors reportedly targeting one of the largest public offerings in Wall Street history, Ross examines Anthropic’s explosive valuation jump, revenue growth, enterprise AI business model, and why this IPO could become one of the most important market events of the year. Ross compares Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceX, AI stocks, and the broader stock market, explaining why retail investors need to understand the difference between private market hype and public market reality. He also breaks down the risks underneath the headline, including pricing pressure from OpenAI and Chinese open-weight AI models, legal issues involving the Department of Defense, government policy risk, lockup expirations, and why first-day IPO buyers can become exit liquidity for early investors. This episode is a warning for anyone watching the AI bubble, Anthropic IPO, OpenAI IPO, AI stocks, tech valuations, Wall Street IPOs, and the future of artificial intelligence investing. Ross explains why the technology may be real, the growth may be historic, and the opportunity may be enormous — but the valuation still has to make sense.

Stock Market Crash Warning: What History Says Happens Next
Join Ross’s Patreon Community for exclusive content and LIVE events https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheRealRossMandell?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down one of the biggest questions facing investors right now: is the stock market headed for a correction, a bear market, or a full market crash? Ross explains why every major crash in market history starts the same way — not with fear, but with confidence. From the 1929 stock market crash and the Great Depression, to the 1973–74 bear market, Black Monday in 1987, the dot-com bubble, the 2008 financial crisis, and the COVID market crash of 2020, Ross walks through the patterns investors keep repeating. This episode explains the difference between a pullback, a correction, a bear market, and a crash, and why understanding those differences can help investors avoid emotional decisions when volatility hits. Ross also connects market history to today’s economy, including AI stocks, stretched valuations, interest rates, Federal Reserve policy, liquidity, inflation, narrow market leadership, and the possibility that today’s AI boom could become either a new era of productivity or another speculative bubble. The key lesson: markets do not reward prediction — they reward preparation. Ross explains why investors should not try to call the exact top, but instead understand what they own, why they own it, and how they will react when the next market correction comes. This episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to understand stock market crashes, market cycles, AI investing, Federal Reserve policy, investor psychology, market corrections, bear markets, and how to stay disciplined during volatility. This episode is for educational and informational purposes only and is not financial advice.
