The Motley Fool Stock Advisor team has released its latest list of top 10 stocks to buy, and Microsoft did not make the cut. The team believes that while many investors think they missed the AI boom, the best opportunities may still lie ahead. They argue that the current phase of AI development is just 'Act 1,' with 'Act 2', the global rollout, potentially offering even greater returns.
The Stock Advisor service has a strong track record, with an average return of 875% compared to 208% for the S&P 500. Past recommendations, such as Netflix in 2004 and Nvidia in 2005, have delivered massive gains. For example, a $1,000 investment in Netflix at the time of recommendation would now be worth $336,195, while the same investment in Nvidia would be worth $1,241,567.
