The Anti-AI Stock Watchlist

Have you seen what happened to Nvidia’s stock price recently?

It shocked Wall Street with one of the most extreme valuation swings: $1 trillion in less than three days.

Nothing meaningful had changed in the company. No new chip. Not a groundbreaking invention. Just sentiment.

And for a moment it felt like deja vu again in 1999.

As an analyst, I have seen markets behave wildly before. This was a reminder of how narrow And emotion driven the AI ​​business has become.

And you wonder…

Are we in an AI bubble?

Let’s be clear: a bubble doesn’t mean the story is fake.

It just means prices fly well above current valuesdriven more by emotion than by revenue.

They can go higher. Much higher. Until they don’t anymore.

Even the skeptics are getting louder.

Take Michael Burry, the man who made famous bets on the American housing market in 2008, inspiringly The big short one. According to reports, he is now betting against Nvidia. In simple terms: he will benefit if Nvidia falls.

So what does he see?

First, there are accusations of “circular revenue,” where Nvidia’s own investments in AI startups could indirectly return as revenue, making demand appear higher than it actually is.

Second, there are ridiculous stock-based compensation plans.

Then there is another problem:

Will AI chips really have such a long ‘useful life’ in financial reporting if the technology becomes obsolete within months?

We’ve seen the cycle in solar, semiconductors and EV batteries: prices fell, performance improved and older assets quickly became obsolete.

But some AI companies appear generous in the extent to which they assume their assets will slowly age.

So what should you, dear investor, do with this?

How do you ride the AI ​​wave? without being washed away by it?

Strategy 1: Don’t bet on AI. Bet on the AI ecosystem.

Instead of buying the most chased AI leaders in the market, look at the enablers – the companies that get paid no matter who wins the race, and picks-and-shovels who worked in the Gold Rush. They also work in technology. Check out the link below the video for more information about this option.

Strategy 2: Build an anti-AI portfolio

This isn’t about shorting AI.

It’s about owning businesses that survive, even thrive, because they don’t change much.

Warren Buffett once said it beautifully when he bought Wrigley gum:

“Our approach takes advantage of the lack of change rather than change. Wrigley won’t be harmed by the Internet. That’s the kind of business I like.”

So what are the ‘Wrigleys’ of India?

Companies almost immune to technological disruption?

Control Print is such a game, a company whose products you use every day without even noticing.

The last time you bought packaged food, medicine, cement, a sheet of glass or anything else with a price tag, you saw a batch number, expiry date, MRP or product code.

That little piece of printed information…That is the world in which Control Print operates.

It produces printers, consumables, spare parts and technology used in the Indian coding and marking industry.

And here’s the kicker:This industry is growing at 1.5 times India’s GDP.

It’s essential. It’s regulated. It’s inevitable.

Four major players dominate the domestic market Control Print is the only Indian companywith a market share of 18-20%.

But it does not stop there, but explores the possibilities in the field of digital printing, end-of-line automation, track and trace systems and recyclable single-serve packaging machines and materials.

These companies are young, but management expects them to quickly break even and become profitable.

In any case, the core business remains solid and Wrigley-like.

Please note that this is not an investment recommendation and does not imply a view on the stock.

AI may or may not be in a bubble. Sentiment-driven manias usually end the same way, but their timing is a fool’s game.

Instead of –

1. Look for AI’s picks and shovels.
2. Look for disruptive companies that remain relevant in every technology cycle.

Control Print fits beautifully into the second drama, essential, sustainable and with optional possibilities of new companies. To me, this is the kind of company that continues to work and builds quietly in the background. no matter what AI, DeepSeek or the next technology cycle does.

I hope you found this information useful.

Thanks for watching. Goodbye.
