For example, chatbots, autonomous vehicles, and humanoid robots all need powerful parallel processors that can process massive amounts of data rapidly so they can respond to questions or what's happening in the environment around them in real-time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, when they're working, those AI chips get extremely hot, which can result in reduced performance, component damage, shortened chip lifespans, and even fires. That's why liquid cooling systems are a part of every data center. They prevent the chips from overheating, and those systems are as vital to the AI boom as the chips themselves.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vertiv&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span class="ticker" data-id="342663"&gt;(NYSE: VRT)&lt;/span&gt; is among the leaders in data center liquid cooling. Its stock is up by more than 60% year to date, soundly outperforming the &lt;strong&gt;S&amp;amp;P 500&lt;/strong&gt; over that period. Its key role in AI infrastructure suggests that its momentum could be sustainable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/07/21/ai-chips-need-liquid-cooling-thats-why-vertivs-sto/?source=iedfolrf0000001"&gt;Continue reading&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NYSE">VRT</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NASDAQ">NVDA</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NASDAQ">IREN</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/guid">1a109834-f835-47b6-bbb4-ddcb3b1bf035</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/topic">investing</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/bureau" slug="usmf-technology-and-telecom">Technology and Telecom</category></item><item><title>This Top Investment Firm Says the Crypto Market Is Nearing a Bottom.

Quantum computing looks like a remarkable follow-up to artificial intelligence (AI). Researchers at McKinsey estimate that quantum computing could create up to $2.7 trillion in economic value for companies worldwide by 2040.

That's a good thing if you're an income seeker looking for reasonable yields from your portfolio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But it does create some complications around where you find that yield. Given current geopolitical and inflation risks, rates could still head higher, making traditional bonds a potentially poor investment. You don't necessarily want to reach for any old yield in the equity markets, because those could come with volatility or even the risk of a cut.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let's take a little stroll around the passive-income exchange-traded fund (ETF) space to see where the good long-term buy-and-hold opportunities are.

However, Buffett recently revealed in a CNBC interview that he had &lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/07/16/warren-buffett-just-revealed-he-not-greg-abel-made/"&gt;initiated the investment&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Considering Alphabet has become one of Berkshire Hathaway's five largest holdings, it's certainly no stretch to call the tech giant Buffett's favorite &lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/market-sectors/information-technology/ai-stocks/"&gt;artificial intelligence (AI) stock&lt;/a&gt;. When you dive into the business, it's easy to see the appeal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are two reasons investors might want to buy the stock and never sell it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/07/21/reasons-buy-warren-buffett-ai-stock-googl/?source=iedfolrf0000001"&gt;Continue reading&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NASDAQ">GOOGL</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NASDAQ">GOOG</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/guid">19636dba-0e91-425b-84ef-759627ca104d</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/topic">investing</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/bureau" slug="usmf-technology-and-telecom">Technology and Telecom</category></item><item><title>Prediction: Broadcom Stock Will Be Worth More Than Apple and Microsoft 10 Years From Now</title><link>https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/07/21/predict-broadcom-stock-worth-more-apple-microsoft/?source=iedfolrf0000001</link><description>What if the next $5 trillion tech company isn't Apple or Microsoft but the AI infrastructure powerhouse that supplies the entire industry?</description><author>newsfeedback@fool.com (Micah Zimmerman)</author><pubDate>Tue, 21 Jul 2026 04:30:00 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/07/21/predict-broadcom-stock-worth-more-apple-microsoft/</guid><content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Here is a prediction that will sound outlandish today: A decade from now, &lt;strong&gt;Broadcom&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span class="ticker" data-id="222667"&gt;(NASDAQ: AVGO)&lt;/span&gt; will be worth more than both &lt;strong&gt;Apple&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span class="ticker" data-id="202686"&gt;(NASDAQ: AAPL)&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Microsoft&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span class="ticker" data-id="204577"&gt;(NASDAQ: MSFT)&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the moment, that looks like a stretch.

That has allowed her to get in on some of the world's most exciting and innovative companies at fantastic prices. The chief executive officer of Ark Invest doesn't wait for everyone else to get excited about a stock and pile in; she's known to buy during low periods, when other investors are hesitant, and the particular stock is in the doldrums.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With this in mind, it's no surprise that, as many artificial intelligence (AI) and technology stocks fell in recent days, Wood has been on a buying spree. She recognizes the potential of certain players a few years down the road, so she views today's declines as a key buying opportunity. Wood has picked up shares of a number of stocks over the past few weeks, and two names in particular have shown up more than once in her list of purchases. In fact, she just bought more of the following two discounted stocks on July 17. They've each fallen more than 30% over the past month. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let's check out the two potential long-term winners that Wood is aggressively buying right now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/07/21/2-discounted-stocks-cathie-wood-is-buying-aggressi/?source=iedfolrf0000001"&gt;Continue reading&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NASDAQ">SPCX</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NASDAQ">MSFT</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NASDAQ">AMZN</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NASDAQ">NVDA</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NYSEMKT">ARKK</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NYSEMKT">ARKW</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NYSEMKT">ARKQ</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NYSEMKT">ARKX</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NASDAQMUTFUND">ARKVX</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NASDAQ">CRWV</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/guid">55d2ae55-1684-4eb3-ae5f-2cc6b60b1839</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/topic">investing</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/bureau" slug="usmf-technology-and-telecom">Technology and Telecom</category></item><item><title>If You'd Invested $10,000 in Micron After Its IPO, Here's How Much You Would Have Now.</title><link>https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/07/21/if-youd-invested-10000-in-micron-after-its-ipo-her/?source=iedfolrf0000001</link><description>You would have scored a spectacular win.</description><author>newsfeedback@fool.com (Adria Cimino)</author><pubDate>Tue, 21 Jul 2026 03:45:00 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/07/21/if-youd-invested-10000-in-micron-after-its-ipo-her/</guid><content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;In the first wave of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, everyone was talking about &lt;strong&gt;Nvidia&lt;/strong&gt;, the world's biggest AI chip designer, and cloud companies such as &lt;strong&gt;Amazon&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Microsoft&lt;/strong&gt;. And those companies continue to be key AI players.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But in recent times, investors have recognized a new group of AI companies, and they have been leading the pack when it comes to stock performance.

Bulls argue that the company's proprietary artificial intelligence (AI)-infused decision-making matrix -- dubbed Ontology -- has no real competition, which is driving Palantir's blistering sales growth. Bears argue that the stock's egregious valuation is simply unsustainable, which has fueled the stock's recent declines -- and it could have further to fall.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both arguments have merit. The &lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/market-sectors/information-technology/ai-stocks/"&gt;artificial intelligence (AI)&lt;/a&gt; specialist rode the wave of AI adoption to heights, with the stock soaring more than 3,000% between early 2023 and late 2025. Since its peak in early November, however, Palantir has plunged roughly 35%. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, I predict the company's impressive growth and its moderating valuation will fuel impressive stock price gains over the next couple of years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/07/21/prediction-this-could-be-palantirs-stock-price-by/?source=iedfolrf0000001"&gt;Continue reading&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NASDAQ">PLTR</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/guid">48020e10-ed56-4f02-b5b9-da13aac17f33</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/topic">investing</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/bureau" slug="usmf-technology-and-telecom">Technology and Telecom</category></item><item><title>Palantir and Sandisk Both Posted Blowout Earnings in 2026.

If you bought shares on Jan. 2 (the market was closed on Jan. 1) and only checked your position now, you're up more than 120%, and you're probably pretty happy with that result. But if you've paid a bit more attention, you may have noticed that the stock has heavily sold off recently and is down 38% from its all-time high. The question investors are asking is whether now is the time to buy the dip or if this sell-off was warranted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think examining the reason behind its initial rise will give investors clues as to whether the sell-off was warranted (and I think the answer is likely a resounding yes).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="caption"&gt;Image source: The Motley Fool.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/07/21/marvell-technology-the-stock-is-down-39-from-its-h/?source=iedfolrf0000001"&gt;Continue reading&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NASDAQ">MRVL</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/guid">0cc12de6-0caf-4c64-9605-11017bc8c9f4</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/topic">investing</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/bureau" slug="usmf-technology-and-telecom">Technology and Telecom</category></item><item><title>Should You Buy SpaceX Stock 11% Below Its IPO Price?</title><link>https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/07/21/should-you-buy-spacex-stock-11-below-its-ipo-price/?source=iedfolrf0000001</link><description>The company may not have bottomed out yet.</description><author>newsfeedback@fool.com (Prosper Junior Bakiny)</author><pubDate>Tue, 21 Jul 2026 01:15:00 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/07/21/should-you-buy-spacex-stock-11-below-its-ipo-price/</guid><content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Space Exploration Technologies&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span class="ticker" data-id="694534"&gt;(NASDAQ: SPCX)&lt;/span&gt; had a hugely successful IPO in June.

Alas, since then, it's been a straight southbound trajectory for the space company, and as of writing, the stock has dropped 11% below its IPO price. Is SpaceX worth investing in at current levels? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="caption"&gt;Image source: The Motley Fool.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many of SpaceX's grand ambitions rest on its ability to continue innovating within its &lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/market-sectors/industrials/space-stocks/"&gt;space&lt;/a&gt; segment. The company is working on Starship, a rocket that could help it further cut space travel costs. Starship is fully reusable -- unlike its Falcon 9, which is only partly so -- and has a much larger payload capacity. Starship is still in testing, and on July 16, it was supposed to take off for its thirteenth flight test. Unfortunately, that didn't happen as the flight was aborted due to multiple engine failures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/07/21/should-you-buy-spacex-stock-11-below-its-ipo-price/?source=iedfolrf0000001"&gt;Continue reading&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NASDAQ">SPCX</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/guid">2409311f-756a-4106-bb21-e0691e16efa6</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/topic">investing</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/bureau" slug="usmf-energy-materials-and-utilities">Energy, Materials, and Utilities</category></item><item><title>Elon Musk's Tesla Delivered 480,126 Vehicles in Its Best Quarter in 2 Years</title><link>https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/07/21/elon-musks-tesla-delivered-480126-vehicles-in-its/?source=iedfolrf0000001</link><description>Can the company ride this momentum?</description><author>newsfeedback@fool.com (Prosper Junior Bakiny)</author><pubDate>Tue, 21 Jul 2026 00:30:00 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/07/21/elon-musks-tesla-delivered-480126-vehicles-in-its/</guid><content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The past couple of years have been rough for electric vehicle (EV) makers.

That number was up 15% over the previous year, but in line with the figure from 2024. It is a lot of money, but don't feel bad if your 401(k) balance doesn't come close to that. Here's the more important number to watch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is normal for people to aim for something as they look to a long-term goal. One million dollars, or $1.46 million, is a target of sorts. And it isn't a bad one, but it may miss the mark when it comes to retirement. Sure, having a giant 401(k) balance is a good thing. In fact, the bigger the better. However, your 401(k) balance doesn't account for something that may be even more important to your future: your retirement spending. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="caption"&gt;Image source: Getty Images.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/retirement/2026/07/20/the-retirement-metric-more-important-than-your-401/?source=iedfolrf0000001"&gt;Continue reading&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><category domain="https://www.fool.com/guid">e0073b0b-4d85-45ed-9dc0-159bdf100050</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/topic">retirement</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/bureau" slug="usmf-investment-planning">Investment Planning</category></item><item><title>A Ransomware Attack Just Halted Coca-Cola's Fairlife Production and Knocked the Stock Down 4%.
