See what the world's top investors are buying and saying

This Week's Picks2026-07-20
This week's pulseThis week Baillie Gifford's Monks commentary split the market into three groups around AI hardware capex — favoring hard-to-replicate leaders like NVIDIA and TSMC, adding SK Hynix, and taking asymmetric bets via SpaceX and RevMed. Akre Capital stands in sharp contrast: down 24% over the trailing 12 months, yet portfolio FCFPS grew 23% with valuations at a decade low (17x FCFPS) — a contrarian bet on the gap between fundamentals and price. In precious metals, Rick Rule reads the gold pullback as a buying opportunity within a healthy bull market (Adrian Day sees a test of $3,600). In one line: top investors are picking their spots along the AI-hardware-versus-deep-value divide.
