Episode Details

In this episode of The Table, Anthony O’Neal breaks down the jobs facing the greatest exposure to AI, why he believes this shift is already happening, and how everyday investors can think about getting on the wealth-building side of the transition. He shares five AI-related stocks under $100 at the time of recording, including one under $10, plus two ETFs for investors who would rather spread their risk across multiple companies.

But Anthony isn’t saying to chase hype. He walks through the financial foundation you should have in place before investing, how to approach higher-risk stocks without gambling your paycheck, and four questions to ask before putting your money into any AI investment. The goal is simple: prepare for disruption, protect what you’ve built, and position yourself for the opportunities on the other side.
