Dear Reader,
They make up one-third of the S&P's value, and once accounted for 63% of its performance...
But now, if you're still holding the "Magnificent 7" stocks, you could get left behind by the next greatest moneymaking opportunity in the $7 trillion AI market.
That's according to one Wall Street legend – made famous for accurately predicting the 2012 Priceline collapse, the 2020 COVID crash, and the 2022 bear market.
Marc Chaikin's stock system flashed "bullish" on all seven of the Magnificent 7 stocks in early 2023, before their historic run-up.
But now, Chaikin says the next wave of AI winners looks nothing like you likely expect. And for the biggest potential gains, it's time to move your money away from the Magnificent 7...
And into these hidden AI stocks instead.
This message comes as one little-unknown stock jumped 934% in under two months.
And it's far from the only "hidden" stock on the move right now.
Marc Chaikin invented the Wall Street indicator that tracks the billions of dollars flowing in and out of U.S. stocks, every single day. However, more recently, his focus has been on helping regular Americans understand what's going on "under-the-hood" of the stock market.
And, as some unfamiliar stocks are shooting sky-high thanks to a new market move, he sat down in studio to reveal what's really happening — and what this means for your money.

He says:
"If you have $1,000 to invest today, buy this stock immediately".
Chaikin has a long history of bold, successful market calls like this. It led CNBC's Jim Cramer to admit: "I learned a long time ago not to be on the other side of a Chaikin trade".
Are investors about to realize that the Magnificent 7 is now the "Malicious 7"?

Warner Bros. Bidding War Potential: How High Could WBD Shares Go?
Written by Leo Miller. Published 10/23/2025.
Key Points
- Warner Bros Discovery has surged over the past several months, putting shares more than +90% in 2025.
- The company says multiple parties are looking to buy some or all of the firm, including the world's biggest streaming company.
- Warner Bros is looking to pit three firms against each other to maximize shareholder value. Its CEO has a highly ambitious target.
Within the U.S. entertainment and media industry, one unlikely name ranks among the top stock market performers in 2025. That company is Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ: WBD), which has delivered a total return of roughly 94% — a top-three figure among U.S. large-cap media and entertainment stocks.
Warner Bros.' status as a traditional media company makes that gain remarkable. Despite strong growth in its HBO Max streaming service, WBD's movie studios and linear-TV business still account for the bulk of its revenue — businesses that have been under pressure since streaming rose to prominence. What Warner Bros. does have, however, is what every media company covets but finds hard to build: a vast content library. It now appears Warner Bros. may be at the center of a bidding contest as rivals seek to acquire that valuable catalog. Below, we examine the contest that has sent Warner Bros.' shares higher — and whether investors can still find an opportunity.
Warner Bros. Plays Hard to Get With Paramount Skydance
Arizona-made nanochips the new millionaire maker? (Ad)
George Gilder handed President Reagan the first microchip that helped create $6.5 trillion in wealth over the last 40 years. Now he's stepping forward with an even bigger prediction about what's being built in the Arizona desert.
He believes 3 little-known companies will explode when a bombshell announcement just days from now. Smart investors are already positioning themselves.
Most of Warner Bros.' ascent in 2025 has occurred over the past several weeks, with shares up more than 75% since the start of September. The rally accelerated on Sept. 11, when reports emerged that Paramount Skydance (NASDAQ: PSKY) was preparing an offer to take over all of WBD. That news helped WBD shares climb roughly 55% in three days. Paramount Skydance recently completed its own merger and is backed by Larry Ellison — the Oracle co-founder and one of the world's wealthiest individuals.
Paramount Skydance has shown it is willing to pay up for content, signing a $1.1 billion-per-year deal to broadcast the Ultimate Fighting Championship in August, roughly double what ESPN previously paid. As PSKY looks to bolster its content library, Warner Bros. has emerged as a prime target. But WBD appears intent on maximizing value: it reportedly rejected an offer of nearly $24 per share from PSKY. Had it accepted, WBD shares would have traded close to $24 — about a 17% premium to the Oct. 22 close. If competing bids rise, investors could see even larger gains, which is where Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) and Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA) enter the picture.
Netflix and Comcast: WBD's Latest Suitors
On Oct. 21, Warner Bros.' shares jumped another 11% after the company announced it had initiated a "review of potential alternatives to maximize shareholder value." In short, WBD is officially listening to offers. The company said it had received "unsolicited offers" from "multiple parties" interested in buying some or all of the business. Reports then indicated that Netflix and Comcast are among those suitors — two large companies (each valued at over $100 billion) that Warner Bros. could potentially pit against Paramount Skydance.
For Netflix, acquiring access to Warner Bros.' library could be transformative. DC Comics, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Game of Thrones are among the most valuable franchises in entertainment, and Warner Bros. controls those properties. Comcast could similarly leverage those intellectual properties to strengthen Peacock and other distribution channels.
Regulatory approval will be a key hurdle. Any takeover of Warner Bros. would concentrate a substantial amount of content under one owner, and Comcast's bid in particular would likely face the most significant regulatory scrutiny.
WBD CEO Seeks Near 95% Premium Over Oct. 22 Price
There appears to be a genuine bidding dynamic underway. Chief Executive Officer David Zaslav is reportedly seeking an offer of $40 per share for the company — nearly a 95% premium over the Oct. 22 closing price. Meanwhile, analysts are revising their forecasts: Deutsche Bank and Benchmark recently raised their WBD price targets to $23 and $25, respectively.
Overall, a deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery now seems increasingly plausible within the next several months to a year. If one materializes — and especially if Zaslav secures a high premium — shareholders could realize substantial gains. The countervailing risk is that no buyer emerges or bids stall; given how much recent gains have been driven by takeover expectations, that outcome would present a meaningful downside risk to the stock.
