• —Defense spending is rising globally due to geopolitical tensions, providing steady revenue growth for aerospace and weapons manufacturers. 16:04
• —The physical backbone of AI requires massive amounts of electricity, cooling, semiconductors, and minerals, creating a long‑term demand for infrastructure and commodity assets. 17:02
• —For 2026, the presenter identifies four sectors where money is already flowing: energy companies, defense and aerospace firms, physical infrastructure supporting AI, and broader real‑asset commodities such as copper and critical minerals. 17:51
