Nvidia has captured the hearts of investors, but at least one market veteran refuses to show the artificial intelligence pioneer any love. "Nvidia is the stock market's new Tesla, where the market blindly assigns a ridiculously high and unrealistic valuation," Trainer wrote in an email to Insider on August 24. Trainer continued: "Investors should not be chasing Nvidia stock, as it is way too expensive. "While we recognize that artificial intelligence is an exciting technology and Nvidia is a great company, investors must pay attention to a company's valuation," Trainer wrote. To live up to its current valuation, Nvidia would have to increase revenue by 20% per year for the next 25 years, the investment research firm CEO wrote.

Investors should prepare for fiscal, banking, and energy crises, a hedge fund manager warned. And thanks to a strong performance in July, the $254 million hedge fund has risen 16.8% after fees in 2023. Oil prices came under pressure when government reserves were released, but Kupperman said that's not a viable long-term recipe for reasonable energy prices. He expects a massive spike in oil prices in either 2024 or 2025, which will greatly benefit companies tied to the commodity. The investing opportunity Kupperman said he's most excited about is uranium, which he's playing through the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust.

Still, while he keeps his focus on the long term, he acknowledged that valuations for AI stocks are ambitious, if not a bit crazy. And while the portfolio management director thinks investors should be wary of AI stocks' volatility in the near term, he made clear that AI is absolutely worth investing in for the long term.

Dividend stocks have long been a favorite of BMO's since their yields offer protection against heightened market volatility. And to have sufficient dividend growth and yield, companies must have a higher dividend yield than the S&P 500's, and it must be growing at a faster rate than the market's yield. Additional qualifications include having a below-market dividend payout ratio, a free cash flow yield higher than its dividend yield, and no dividend cuts in the prior five years, according to the note. "By focusing solely on high current dividend yield investors could be missing potential recovery and/or dividend growth opportunities." After outlining its barbell strategy and methodology, BMO listed eight stocks in each group that fit those descriptions and are worth considering.
