TLDR: Shitty "news" site is shitty.

Okay, so we all know that these Motley Fools mainly publish hedgefond-propaganda, so I never really bothered looking at their articles, but this headline really caught my interest...

I was like: What? Did I miss something big?

Nope, the three "AI" Stocks are:

AAPL (46.44%)
AMZN (0.34%)
SNOW (0.29%)

Yeah, he's really BIG into "AI"... 🙄

How is anyone stupid enough to base their investment decisions on this kind of journalism?

No link included to not give them any ad revenue.

Ironically, I suspect many of these articles are themselves written by AI. AI encouraging AI investments?

Sounding a bit Roko's Basilisk-y in here...

Yeah, its ridiculous. I tried to find out why a stock I am invested in dropped by about 7% after they beat earnings. Explanation by Motley Fool: Investors sell the good news.
