A MESSAGE FROM INVESTORPLACE DIGEST
Buy Alert: $8 AI Stock
My colleague Luke Lango — one of the top early-stage tech analysts in America — just returned from Silicon Valley with a new AI recommendation he believes could be a major winner.
This isn't a name you'll only see in the headlines...
It's a real business with real customers... trading for around $8... and positioned in a corner of the AI economy that's expanding fast.
The best part?
Luke is giving away the name and ticker symbol directly from the location of the company itself.
If you're curious about where the next wave of AI growth could come from, this is worth a few minutes of your time.
